South Africa: My First (and Only) Bungy Jump

After being harassed baboons but before being hunted by elephants, I did my first bungy jump from the Bloukrants Bridge on the Garden Route in South Africa.

With a height of 216 meters, it is one of the highest jumps in the world - and an excellent excuse not to do more jumps. "Naah, I will only be dissapointed jumping 192 meters".

The jump took approximately five seconds, but felt more like twenty. Falling through the air was definitely worth it!

TrafficControl: Now on Github

I just added TrafficControl to GitHub for two reasons:

• Having a simple way of keeping track of future versions of the code
• Sharing my project under GPL 3.0.

My project is available at https://github.com/cutetrains/trafficControl-dev.

Africa: Running from Elephants and Keeping the Blog Alive

Here is a video of some elephants from the trip in Africa 2014. 

Highlights: 

• 1:24 I'm chased by an angry elephant
• 1:40 The person in the tree next to the elephants.
• 2:13 The cutest elephant kid ever!

Most of the photos/videos are from the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

I've been focusing on genealogy lately, so the blogging has been suffering. I will resume the blog and keep it updated at least twice a month. The contents will be photos/videos, programming, trains and perhaps some genealogy.
