August
======

Not much  computing in August.  I decided  to have ACTUAL  holidays. In
last (many) years it was rather different. Few one-day trips but mostly
being at work (or  working from home) all the time.  Not as actively as
normally but working.

Obviously, it  wasn't sustainable and  I felt  I need actually  stop to
work for at leas few weeks. So  this August I was in Austria twice. For
the  first  time  just for  a  short  visit  to  Graz. I  need  to  got
through Wien  there so  I used this  opportunity, too.  Moslty walking,
sightseeing, eating of ice cream and so on.

The second  visit wason  bikes. A  part of  Murradwed (Mur  rived cycle
path). Traveling with bikes was  fun. Until I realised that derailleurs
of our Moulton  TSR bikes (with 20" wheels) are  not so much compatible
with bike racks in Polish trains. We needed to use IC train from Poland
in order to  get to Wien (and back). Austrian  trains (both RailJet and
IC trains) have better designed racks.

Riding a  bike for 200 km  in 5 days wasn't  a big deal was  easy. Nice
places, nice views (that was lower part  of Alps with no high peaks but
it has its own magic). There were just a few other cyclists.

Liked that  and now I'm thinking about plans for the next year. 

I  didn't  used  many  computing  devices  there.  Just  a  phone  with
GPS  (mostly  as  a backup  device  as  I  prefer  to print  all  train
tickets). Ther Mur path is well  signed so navigation device was almost
unnecessary. We had our old Sony digital camera and analog one (Olympus
[mju:]) to take pictures. I made a few pictures with phone but not that
much (the Fairphone is good in making sunset and sunrise pictures).
