Thanks.
The pain was pretty difficult for a while but for the moment I'm pretty comfortable. Hopefully it will stay that way until after I can get the surgery.

I think everything will be fine. And at the moment the pain is really limited. So all things considered, it could be tons worse.
Journal Journal: My Spine 4
I have a herniated disc (disk?) (Apparently disk if I follow AMA guidelines. huh.) in my neck. Apparently in a common place. It's protruding pretty far into my spine and pushing on my spinal cord. I think it's also in contact with nerve roots. I don't know all the right terms. I make my wife crazy because medical stuff doesn't interest me. It's like car maintenance. I just want to hand it off to people who know. But since it looks like I need surgery, I have to be more involved in this as it'

I live in a suburb of Budapest and T-Mobile provides everything I get from them over ip. Television, phone and internet. I wonder if this means I'd pay that tax on all of it - on top of the other taxes already being paid.

Are you aware of how Fidesz came into the position they currently hold.
Hungary ( very much like the US ) has no shortage of politicians across the left to right spectrum who are only out to enrich themselves and their friends rather than leading well to the benefit of everyone. It's sad but I don't think uncommon.

It doesn't matter how poorly it is misspelled. Gulyásleves is nothing like what Americans picture when they say goulash.
Hungary is a great place to live by the way - if you've got the cash to be comfortable.

Yeah - I love it. So much better than a KVM switch, in my opinion.
When I'm at work I do almost everything on my linux box. But it's nice to have my mac next to it for email and calendar.
Journal Journal: I did not intend to neglect you 2
I haven't posted in a bit. I was travelling and then busy when I got back.
I spent a week-end in Vajta and then a few days later I was in Athens for a week. Greece is a very pretty place. The weather was fantastic. Vajta was also really nice. Here in Hungary we are getting into fall and that may be my favorite season. Growing up in the Southwest I didn't experience such a high degree of change every year and I'm really loving it now.

Google struggles dealing with people who are in one place but want to use a language from another place.
It's gotten better in chrome on a computer. I can pretty much search in chrome and get my results in English. But on android it's a mess.
When I search in Android Chrome - I get google.hu and I haven't found a way to get it to use google.com

No - it isn't. That's funny. I did that pretty late at night.
All my personal sites got messed up and I had to fix them a week or two ago.
Journal Journal: Subscriptions Are Over ~ Busy Penguin 2
I enquired about when subscription renewal would be available again and the reply I got was that the subscription process will not be coming back. Must not make enough income to make it worthwhile. I liked seeing stories a little early and would try to quickly email and warn of dupes when I could. But it is a business. So it goes.
Journal Journal: Northern Ireland at Hungary
Went with some friends tonight to watch Hungary play Northern Ireland in their Euro Cup qualifier match.
It was held at Groupama Arena. It was my first time there and it is a very nice facility. We bought lower priced tickets but it still felt like we were very close, especially compared to what it is like at Ferenc Puskás Stadium.
