I hope it's not yet too late and I'll write a bit about my life during the last year. Just like I did on last year (In Estonian).

So one of the changes is that now this year I'm writing in English, instead of my mother tongue. I thought that it's best to keep one blogline and mix English and Estonian posts there. I try to write all personal, Skype related or topics which could have broader interest in English and keep everything else in Estonian.

Life

Happily living in my rented appartment, with extremely pleasant owner and without having any thoughts of moving in short therm. When to move then we would like to move to our own home.

I'm extremely happy about my relationships and that what was a extremely small light year ago between I and Angela has now grown to be lovely relationship.

School

Getting my BA degree is not moving at all on the road as I planned year ago, altough there have been some moves to be nearer to graduation.

Now between me and graduation there are only 4 courses, one of which I hope to finish in this semester and the thesis.

Politics

Doing lot less in this field than on 2007. I participated in very interesting DEMYC event in Belarus. Otherwise it has been a silent year of working in some fields which I'm interested in.

I was elected to be a board member in IRL Youth Tallinn organiazation.

Work

In my work life. I'm still happily with Skype doing similar things like year before. Now I'd say that I'm covering few more areas in comparision with 2007.

Travel

During the year I spent about 2 months abroad. The year started with extremely interesting visit to Belarus, about which you can read also from here or just view the pictures.

I visited for first time USA, where I was attending one work related conference. I hope to go there back someday to see more than the usual business trip areas - airports, offices, conference halls, hotels, bars and restaurants.

In addition to Belarus and USA, I was also first time on a "warm" country. I was 2 times working in Greece, where for one week we managed to have a lovely vacation on Santorini island.

Summary

Altough with some not so good progress in school I'd say it was deinately the best year in my life so far. I hope that 2009 will be better.

I'll write in few days about what I'd like to experience during 2009.

Naljatilgad on eBay'sse pannud müügile finantskrahhi äärel seisva Islandi riigi.

Täna õhtul Chicagos eBay DevCon'l head sõbrad firmast Rackspace kutsusid kõiki osalejaid väikselt meeldivat õhtut veetma ning mis meilgi selle vastu oli, et minna ja veidi Skype kultuuri edendada. Peale pikka ja rasket tööpäeva tuleb ju veidi vabaks võtta.

Tänu Wollile ja tema poolt organiseeritud Millimallikatele tõonäoliselt teavad kõik osalejad väga täpselt nii Skype kui ka hulle Eestlasi.

Pildil on nähe kiirelt õppivat baarmeni kes sai ilusti joogisegamisega hakkama peale paari esimest demostratsiooni.

Tänase Äripäeva küsitlus hiilgab pirnidega.

Küsimus, mis esitati:

1. Kui kaua olete oma maja/korterit juba müünud? 2. Kas olete vahepeal juba hinda langetanud? Kui palju? 3. Kui tehtaks praegusest hinnast 10% madalam pakkumine kindla sooviga teha tehing, kas oleksite nõus?

Lõike vastustest (grupeeritud sama vastaja vastuselõigud):

• Hinda langetasin pärast esimest nädalat, kalkuleerisin ja otsustasin lasta maja hinna 4,8 miljoni krooni pealt 3,99 miljoni peale.
• Levinud on selline tava, et kui müüja on nõus hinda langetama, on ostja nõus kaupa vaatama tulema.
  
  
• Huvi maja vastu on täiesti olemas, kuulutust on nädala jooksul külastatud üle 400 korra. Vaatamas käidud pole.
  
  
• Hinda olen nõus langetama kokkuleppel, aga majale hinda pannes lähtusin veidi asjaolust, et niikuinii hakatakse tingima.
  

• Reaalse pakkumise korral olen nõus rääkima 40 000-90 000kroonisest hinnalangetusest. Üldiselt arvan, et küsin maja eest ikkagi väga realistlikku hinda.

Mida nad küll seal suitsetavad?
