Vacation in Crete

Posted in Personal by Andrei Alecu on the September 13th, 2007

Sorry for not posting anything this last week, me and my coworkers and friends at Tachyon Labs have been on vacation in Crete, Greece.

Accomodation

We stayed at the Santa Marina hotel in Ammoudara. The conditions were pretty good and the staff was wonderful. There were two fellow Romanians working at the hotel for the summer, and we also met lots of other Romanian people working at shops, pubs and clubs in Iraklion and Hersonissos.

Hersonissos is where it’s at if you’re young and want to have fun, it’s basically the youth town of Crete and the night life hot spot. Ammoudara is a bit quieter and relaxing, catering better for a family vacation.

Trip to Hersonissos

Two days into the vacation we rented a car so we could go to Hersonissos (yes, we’re not nerds, we’re all still pretty young and we like to have fun), and this was pretty interesting. I was the one to drive, and a friend was guiding me using a map that we got from our hotel reception. (more…)

Howdy,

Since everyone seems to be doing it 1, I decided to start my own blog to write about my day to day experiences with web development and programming.

1. yes, I realize that I’m starting way too late on the blogging phenomenon timeline, but better late than never right 2 ?

Who am I?

My name is Andrei Alecu and I’m a C# developer with over 5 years of experience in .NET, owner and lead developer of Tachyon Labs, a company that started as an outsourcing studio but later developed as a .NET component developer and web development company.
