I discovered this place rather late - at the end of my vacations. Maybe it was better so, otherwise I would my vacation here :-) https://spectator.sme.sk/c/22160317/bookworms-get-a-sanctuary-in-the-slovak-national-gallery.html I’ll be back !!!

On 21 August 1968, the occupation army of Soviet Union with satelites invaded Czechoslovakia.

After long time both we and both our children are in the same place. Precious family time.

Lost and then found again - here:https://angrytouristblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/rejoice-finland-man-is-back.html Here is the copy, just in case Rejoice! The Finland Män is back! # Source Finland Män Not Like Smalltalk. Is Horror. Finland Män not kän underständ smalltalk. When kuud silense, samwan open mouth, silense destroid, why do tis? One time Finland Män ko tu bar. Finland Män sit ät kounter, entshoi trink, look onli mopile phone. Is kuud silense. Then kam womän nekst tu Finland Män.

Then änssör: “Why you äsk? Is you kondukting sam sörvey?” Womän not say enitink. She ko öwei. Is kuud silense.

with great paella.

I have my doubts whether it will survive. It is next to Starbucks (one of several, albeit nothing like Toronto) so there is competition for tourists looking for the familiar logo. As for locals, Spanish coffee culture is quite different, and if I am allowed to say so - Spanish coffee is both better AND less expensive as So let’s hope Timbits will save the day. Who could resist deep fried sugary dough, eh ?

I did quick 2 week visit to Canada. I spent some time with our son and daughter-in-law, visited many dear friends and places in the city and nature, worked for couple of days in the office and met new colleagues and even met current my boss for the first time in 3D. I must say, he is taller than in Zoom :-D I also visited our ex-cat with her new human servants and as expected, Lucy duly ignored me. Oh, well - cats.

One day round trip Valencia to Madrid and back. It is 350 km, but AVE (high velocity train) makes it in 1.5 hr. Take that, Via Rail !! Travelling at 300 km/h is unreal. It is actually quieter and more smooth than Canadian train at 80 - all that makes the speed believable is the velocity display and view out of the window when train goes around something closer to the rails.

Cybersource Testing Tool # Java utility that we used before when we were debugging the TLS 1.2 issues. It needs to be compiled with JDK 1.8 - ideally the same one that runs in production and then run like: java -Djavax.net.debug=ssl:handshake:verbose SSLPoke api.cybersource.com 443 replace api.cybersource.com with whatever the cybersource endpoint needs to be. If the utility responds with ‘Successfully connected’, it was able to handshake with the SSL server and establish the secure connection.
