Well, 2008 is done now. It’s been a very complicated year, with lots of things to learn, many to endure and more to build upon. But all the worst for the better! I am confident that with enough work the new year will be excellent. Personally The new job I went to last spring proved to be much of a bluff. The way the job was presented to me proved to be very different from what I was met with

I'll be away this weekend—a.k.a. nowhere near my home town—to attend Grapefruit's ninth anniversary party. I'm expecting a wacky weekend, generally marked by surprises, fun, games and booze. We, in Grapefruit, call that team building. I don't know how the concept rolls out in the real world, but this is Grapefruit. I'll give you a short overview of what happened in the past two years.

We have new business cards that just came in! And as hot as they came from the printers, as hot as they became around the office: tradeable and collectible goodies. Here's mine: Gotta' catch'em all!

I haven't had a vacation since the beginning of the year, so this short week was heavenly, even though I crave for more. But it's what I get for being MIA for three months this spring. And I'm thankful, because it could have been a lot worse: I could have been unemployed. But now that my batteries have, at least partially, recharged I can do a short and uncomprehensive recap. Nobody keeps count

Even find yourself with too many business cards? Maybe a big pile of them came with defects from the print shop and you’ve no use for them. Or you might have just moved like we did at Grapefruit and all of a sudden hundreds of business cards have just become unusable.

In a previous post I was talking about how we can use HTML tricks through Textile to better organize and document things in basecamp. Some things just can’t be done as simple, though. Time reports The default time report view in Basecamp is useful especially when you want to review how the past time was spent. However, the view is sorted by clients instead of being sorted by day. That’s fine

Note for the faint-hearted: The tone is for artistic purposes only. Let’s take a look at some Lorwyn/Shadowmoor pairs who’s metafore I don’t get very well. The Shadowmoor set brings 5 cards each definitely having the metafore of a crowd. The name’s the first thing to give them away: Kithkin Rabble, Faerie Swarm, Crowd of Cinders, Horde of Boggarts and Drove of Elves. The tricky part, though

Another big day tomorrow! I'm going to Bucharest with Wky to participate in the prerelease event of Eventide. Still looking forward to such events taking place in Iasi, but I guess we've got a long way coming until that. Maybe if we work hard we'll have a prerelease and a release for Shards of Alara.

The Lorwyn-Shadowmoor block in itself has changed the world of Magic for the established players. But it seems Magic has yet to have been completely changed. Shards of Alara, the new expansion set, is going to bring in more than just a new plane we’re going to explore, but and entire train of changes with it. These changes aren’t necessarily bad though: some of them are actually awesome.

Although this spring’s changes drove me into recession, now that my life is coming back to normal, I think I’ll be able to afford a gadget gift for myself this summer. For one thing there’s going to be a some traveling this summer. For the second, I’ve decided to use public transportation more often. Both of these would go nicely with a toy on the side. Right now it’s hard to decide between

One of my friends made a really big push for this TV Show, and by the initial impression I got for it I thought I'd never watch it. But there came a time in my life when watching this show was necessary. I had finished all the House M.D. episodes out there, LOST was done by summer and with writer's guild strike last autumn there's not much left of this season. In spite of not giving it much

After one year off-air, they’re back just in time for Summer! When Music One held last show before going off-air last year many people felt sad. The best dance radio station on the Internet was going offline for who knew how much time. This spring the website started announcing a 2008 come-back, and near the end of May I know many fans were getting the chills. “Will it be back after exactly

Like I said, the beginning of this year was marked by changes. Many changes, some smaller, some bigger, but undoubtedly all changes have happened due to a choice I made. Bad choice One of the bad things with my system is that when some plan is in place I usually stick to it. However, if premises change, I usually reconsider my choice, except if I’m way too tired to do that. In January I planned

Last Friday was my last day as Grapefruit, and to me it was sad as hell. I had planned leaving six months ago, and I knew March was the month I'm off... But even so, leaving friends behind is tough. I'm not a faint-heart, and I didn't expect this to get to me, but it seems it did. I just know I won't be able to help paying them visits often. Now I work at Educatus, and professionally, the

It all started with a headache a couple of days ago, which of course I ignored, carelessly continuing my daily taks. So I wake up next morning with a lesser headache, but a painful swollen neck. "Eh, I'll just have some hot tea at the office, maybe a Coldrex and it'll go away." But little did I know... By the time I got to the office, my headache was completely at home again, and the neck

It's been a tense couple of weeks, and I nearly started to lose grip there. Looking back I can't even realise why that happened, but the good thing is that I'm back on track now. I didn't have much time to update, so here's quick tour of what went on. No sure verdict on LOTRO I played LOTRO with 3 character so far: an elf, a hobbit and a dwarf.

This year is generally marked by changes: some harder to make, some expensive, some of the uncontrollable, but hopefully all for the good. And changes have made their way into my home ever since the first hours of the year. My brother came home with half of his face covered in bruises and blood, back from his party last night.

You see all your other geek friends talking about interesting geek stuff in the office, stuff you rarely heard about and you feel left out. It's kind of why I

The end of the year has always been a crowded time. It's like every end of the world you see in the movies, where doctors are robbing electronics stores, atheists screw like rabbits, mobs are running throughout the streets killing other people, buildings explode, glass gets shattered, Days of Our Lives Heroes stops airing, cops get killed, projects clutter up, terrible migrene, but in the end

There's a lot of things I could complain about when refering to the Windows Desktop… Over the years I've learned to get over most of the lacks, but there are some annoyances that still drive me crazy sometimes. Here's some tools I've found to help a little. Note I'm still running Windows XP, and that's where I've tried these. Taskbar Shuffle

I don't celebrate Haloween. It's weird enough I was born on Haloween. Yeah, I know… It's a good day for crazy events… Just try Wikipedia, you'd be amazed. It's a good thing that I don't feel different. I've survived the operation, it was a success. The doctor has removed the zero, which I will keep as memory, and has replaced it with a 1. Standard procedure, nothing to worry about. It's just

It bewilders me how marketing works today. I mean you've never seen the end of that thing! Never seen it all, never heard it all and if at one point you think there's nothing they can pull on you, you better watch your back. I was walking the shop the other evening, looking for the usuals, among which was a bottle Pepsi Twist. (You know, that liquid that runs through my veins, slowly but

If you can speak without having your lips moving, you'd better have some sense of humor, otherwise it's quite a waste. This guy here, however, really has it! Each of his dolls has a unique character, a different style of humor and he puts

Original photographies by SXC members alaasafei and solomon05. A couple of friends and I were debating business yesterday and stumbled across a interesting topic: "If you're selling web design, what would be the packages, and what price would you put on each?" I felt from the start this isn't a good approach to the subject and questioned it: "But isn't one actually selling services?" Indeed he

It all breaks down to 3 TV shows this fall. Also, Marius explained to me who the f*** Earl was, and I might give that a shot. If this show gets me, I promise to start feeling bad about my earlier post on it. Prisons were made to be broken. First, it's Prison Break. Already a classic to me, airs Mondays, ships Tuesdays, I watch it Tuesday nights. Wonderful. I've seen the first two episodes,

Here's a show I've been missing out last year! (Oh, and apparently they've won an Emmy.) Every night I watch spots from NBC's Carson Daly, The Tonight Show and Late Night with Conan O'Brian. Last night I jump across of what I hope to be the season preview of 30 Rock's second season. The good news is there's an entire season to watch! I can hardly wait to get my hands on some torrent or

Call me ignorant, but I don't find the Emmys a popular thing. Yeah, I dig the VMAs and I've even watched the Oscars once, but the Emmys? And so, being a TV content digger, I decided to have a glimpse at this year's Emmy Awards. Well, I've missed the show, but that's allright... I've jumped right to the lists. It was quite funny to find out that the shows I watch aren't there. Sure, I'm not

I'm delighted with the western TV Industry. If there's anyone who actually progressed in the past decade it matter of television, it's definitely the west. And personally, I hate it when Europeans don't get the luxury. Hey, we built America! I demand some respect! Let's talk a little about the cookies we have packed and ready to ship to your local DC++ hub or Torrent website. The Round Up I

I've come across a series of new series (i.e. a matrix) on YouTube this last week. Some of them are good, some of them suck ass, and some of them are crazy. The Guild A series for gamers, about gamers by a gamer. I find the plot of this series very funny: A guild playing an MMORPG, made of people who never met offline is depicted in varios situations of their "offline lives". The show is a

Surprisingly for me I've tubed quite a lot in the past couple of weeks. I've grown my list of subscriptions from 2 to over 20 channels, mainly in the Comedy section. And even so, I sometimes find myself looking for more content, and not just any content more content relevant to me. Issue: Irrelevant video responses Lately there's this ugly trend on YouTube when people with low ratings post

On a YouTube session last Thursday, after catching up with What The Buck's latest episodes, I came across an interesting video of TheXFactorUK's channel. It's the quite old reality show where there's a jury, a handful of auditions, an season long entertainment promise, etc. Kind of like Prima TV's Megastar, but better. Not being so fond of reality shows, after the big insuccess of Big Brother 2

I'm not really celebrating my name day today, because no one really acknowledges the plain fact that today is St. Alexander's Day in the Orthodox Calendar. I don't think many people actually acknowledge this day anyways. I am however opening my blog, a third attempt to write consistently on something. (I had a couple before, not worth mentioning, I didn't keep them up.) I have an annoying habit
