Lowestoft to Norwich and Back II

filipkral — Mon, 07 May 2012 19:44:14 +0000

After I cycled to Norwich in September 2011, I was pretty sure I was never going to it again. Well, I did it again. And the way back was a real pain against the wind. Again. Yet this time I had some rain too.

In August, I went for a trip to Crimea, Ukraine, with a travel agency called CK Mundo. I borrowed this map of the trip from their website by the way:

The program was really packed with stunning cultural sights and natural landmarks. Crimea has an extremely rich and dramatic history and events that took place in Crimea had a world wide impact. Well, you’d better read on Wiki about Crimea, but you are more than welcome to look at my photos from that trip here. Click on Show as Picture List to list through the gallery.

Cycling for my NIN

filipkral — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 09:28:03 +0000

Yesterday I cycled on my new bike to Norwich for an appointment regarding national insurance number. It was quite a long way (95 km in total) and it took longer than I expected. Strong winds slowed me down at times and I also had to frequently check if I was going in the right direction. Anyway, it was a struggle, but I made it. A big lesson learned from this trip was that I need much more than 2l of water and 200g of muesli for such journey. Take more food and drink next time!

I took some photos with my phone on the way. Norwich is nice, but I wasn’t keen enough to walk around the whole city after cycling 45 km and with more than that ahead. Yet here is the main market, located at the same square since the medieval times. Norwich Castle is in the background.

A big surprise on the way back was the Reedham Ferry I had to take to cross the Yare River.

Fortunately, there were bridges crossing New Cut and Waveney River near St Olaves; here is a view from the bridge across New Cut.

Finally, when I came back to Lowestoft, the Lowestoft bridge was open and a huge boat was slowly passing into the harbour. As it moved, it’s name could be seen and it turned out that this huge boat was Cefas Endeavour. It makes you feel kinda proud when your employer has a boat like this .

Transition to Word Press

filipkral — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 06:28:02 +0000

I decided to stop writing my pages with text editors (Notepad++) and move to something completely different. A content management system, specifically Word Press. I have to say I am really impressed and I wish I did this step some time ago. The most exciting thing is that it will take some time to get my sites exactly in the shape I want, so check regularly

Inverse Distance Weighting Interpolator

I coded a program for inverse distance interpolation in Pascal (using Lazarus IDE) as part of the Programmming course at Czech University of Life Sciences.

The program is described in a 1 page long PDF manual and you can download it here: IDWinterpolator.
