My incompetent hosting provider let the harddisk of my server crash

Thanks to Google and Ole I managed to save my blog entries. Though I did lose all comments.

Anyway, we’re back online!

Yesterday the Copenhagen Beer Festival (Københavnske Øldage) started and I visited this event with some colleagues from Zyb (zyb.com – use their service, it rocks!). There were about 1000 different kinds of beer of which I tried 12.

New experiences (some I won’t disclose here ):
- Drinking beer from Greenland and the Faroe Islands
- Eating pølser (sausage) in a tent lined with wooden benches and drunk Danes
- Dancing at Rust (seriously Chris and Tommy, we need to go there more often!)

Other news:
I’m going to see an apartment tomorrow in Islands Brygge.
