Long time no see
2008-04-07 11:41:00 Unfortunately, I haven’t been around for a very long time. The reasons are various: 1) I am not used to write in English so much; 2)I don’t have time to translate all my posts on my romanian blog to this one; and 3)I have been working on different projects One good example would be Jokes for ...

EarthTV
2008-03-22 22:33:00 Short post: Every time I have a conversation with someone about various places in the world, I remember to visit the EarthTV website. Even those sequences are also shown on cable TV (which I don’t watch due the lack of spare time), I find it’s much better to watch all of the online. The “Contionus play” mode ...
AutoIt Script
2008-03-12 23:50:00 I’m using for a pretty long time this scripting language, and I am amazed how it makes my life more simple. Basically is a basic-like scripting language, which enables the user to do a lot of things. So what does it do? It controls the mouse, the keyboard, creates windows, manage files, manage variables (and arrays), ... More About: Script

2008-02-20 22:51:00 Today the vice principal told us to gather around the entrance of the high school, in order to join an anti drug show in the school nearby (technical high school, sharing the yard with us).

Subway in Bucharest
2008-02-20 21:57:00 I went today to pick up my mother from somewhere in the city (around the University) and I was badly impressed about that subway station. I think it’s the worst in Bucharest (or at least the worst I’ve seen, since I moved to Bucharest), or for sure in the TOP 3. Except all the chaos inside, ... More About: Subway
Damn it
2008-02-20 21:35:00 And I gave a really good reason to say it. Yesterday I found out that soot the Cebit 2008 will start. Dates: 5-9 April. I asked my dad to search some travel offers, because I wanted to be there since last year. Even better, today I found out that is not 5-9 April, but March. ... More About: Damn
Otopeni airport will be closed for a few days
2008-02-18 21:11:00 The most idiotic thing I’ve heard in the last few months, from the politicians. Sometime in the near future, the NATO summit will be in Bucharest, and as they described in the news, lots of presidents, ministers & co will be here. So this is a good reason to close the Otopeni(Bucharest’s main) airport for a ... More About: Airport , Days , Closed
After 1 week
2008-02-17 22:11:00 Nothing special in the last week. The school started, I moved into a new class, everything all right till now. But since the school is eating 50% of my spare time, I could not do much in the online projects. One thing to notice: my wireless router - Linksys WRVS4400n - is not working anymore. I ...

School again
2008-02-10 22:16:00 The school starts tomorrow after a 1 week holiday (2 weeks for me). As the principal told me, I “advanced” from an math-informatics English-intensive class to a maths informatics intensive class. So I will learn more informatics than English. Theoretically. I read in the morning that out timetable has changed, but didn’t save it. Now I ... More About: School
Why not Romania?
2008-02-09 01:31:00 In the near future I am going to write a couple of posts about life in Romania vs. life in other countries(and studying, etc), which, at least now, are seen as much better. I can say a thing for sure: in Romania the life is faaaaar away from what is being described here (stupid/undocumented post ...
Must-have Wordpress plugins
2008-02-05 23:55:00 As BlackNight wrote here, there are some plugins that must exist in a new Wordpress instalation, for a blog to work at its best. I actually wrote the plug-ins that are common to all the blogs I maintain. Akismet - because you shouldn’t stay deleting spam comments All in One SEO Pack - helps the search engines ...

1 day trip to the mountains @ Azuga
2008-02-05 22:42:00 I don’t know how correct is in English, but in my Romanian blog I named it “1 day stand”. Smth like 1 day adventure. I woke up yesterday earlier than in the last 10 days, for a 1-day trip to Azuga. Even since 2000 we were going to Predeal for winter holiday, now my mother decided ... More About: Mountains , Trip
The end-of-the-world will come?
2008-02-05 01:00:00 in 2012. When the Romanian editors do not have anything to write, they study subjects like “the end of the world”,”spirits”,” ;students”, and sometimes, blogs:D Anyway, now I read something about the end of the world. They say it will come in 2012. Why? Because the Maya civilization calculated so. More exactly, according to wikipedia, it will ... More About: World , The World , End Of The World
Want free music?Go to Italy!
2008-02-04 22:56:00 According to Ars Tehnica, a couple of days ago, the Italian government published a law that, unwillingly, will allow all Italian internet users to download “non commercial or degraded” music from the internet, without risking any penalty. Degrades means (as far as I understood), any song that is not anymore at the quality it has been ... More About: Music , Italy , Free Music , Free

2008-02-03 16:23:00 The high amount of visitors that read this blog in it’s first week ‘of life’ was not enough to make my day. I was very happy, until I received the power adapter for my notebook.

Task Switch from Vista to Windows Xp
2008-02-03 01:20:00 You can really have this under Windows Xp just by installing a small (1,7MB) software that converts the usual ALT-TAB combination to the “Vista one”. Shock Aero3D is developed by some smart Korean guys trying to tell us not to install Vista, but to tweak the existing, better Xp. The installation is as simple as it ...

Flash Mems go up?and up
2008-02-03 00:27:00 Today, after a long walk on the streets of the city, I decided to do my job in reading my feeds from Google Reader. There were about 3-400 unread items, mostly from English tech sites/blogs(Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Engadget, etc). In Engadget I found a post about Kingston producing an SCHC memory card of 16GB.

Microsoft to buy Yahoo for 45 billion
2008-02-01 14:14:00 I read this news on a couple of Romanian blogs, and thinking that it was a joke, smiled. But when someone sent me the CNN article, I changed my opinion.
