... when you realize you've just lost a friend.
Hehe, Friends.

They hide in the funniest of places and strike with joy and good will when you least expect it.
One friend of mine, for example, describes my More Than Just Keyframes And Echo`s intellectual regurgitation as a "nifty blog for my grammar nazi love"
That made my day!

All the symptoms lead me to believe I am depressed.
Funny thing is, I used to have such episodes before. Back then, I would turn sadness into torment, then torment into anger, then I'd do some push-ups to get rid of the anger and then I would be just fine.
This time around, the sadness just won't leave.
Meh, see you all in a while, when I'm smiling again.

It's odd how google works

In a blog post of mine, on blog.hdragomir.com, I mentioned 'get laid'
On every page of said blog, there's a brief description of me, in which Timișoara, my home town, is mentioned.
Naturally, Google saw it fit to rank my blog post as the #2 result for the query "get laid timisoara"
Oh, well. As least I can actually help people get laid in Timisoara.

Why x**0 is always 1

Well, OK. Not true for inf and 0, but this holds for any other number.
We all know this from math, but I'll show you why this holds through coding.
While we're at it, I will point out that this is probably how they decided this in the first place.
I really hope that speaks for itself.

function pow( number, exponent ){
var result = 1; // the neutral number for multiplication
if( exponent > 0 ){
while( exponent > 0 ){ // so result is never altered
result *= number; // we don't care about the rest of this; do we?
exponent--;
}
} else {
while( exponent < 0 ){
result /= number;
exponent++;
}
}
return result;
}

FIrst Impressions of Ubuntu Karmic Koala
Saturday, August 1, 2009 9:57:25 PM
Boy, is it ever fast!
What I've always loved about linux distro upgrades is that all your apps remain intact. Seriously, that is one feature Microsoft should look into.
When I was trying out Vista, I really liked the way I was able to control the volume on a per-application basis. Now, ubuntu with their latest 9.10 alpha have gone and implemented that.
I haven't really looked under the hood yet, but I see a lot has really been polished.
What I've also noted was the native support for python 3.0. This means that a lot of code has been re-factored to fit the new standard. Possibly yielding in some of the speed.
The notifier we got in 9.04 ( or earlier if you're a bazaar user ) has been touched up. And there's a general feeling of sleekness surrounding this alpha release.
Also, there's great QT support which means that Opera not only runs a lot faster, but looks smashing. I guess we have to also thank Mr. Hicks for that.
If you're using ubuntu, you can easily update to the latest alpha by typing
I'm really looking forward to a Beta or to the RTM, whichever comes first.

You got the American System, and still screwed it up

The way I deal with people that wrong me has always been simple:
You get one free mistake. Sometimes, you just don't know that what you've just done could upset me. So I usually let the first one pass, but I make it clear that you did something wrong.
Then, if you make another mistake, you're usually out. After that point, you mean very little to me. Not even enough for me to curse you.
This case was special. For some reason, after the second mistake, I decided to give YOU another chance. Making things even clearer about how bad it's been for me.
But tonight, you decided to do that thing you do yet again. That's three strikes, honey. You're out.
And, for the record, it's quite alright to get me pissed or upset. I bounce back easily. Just do not hurt my friends. Ever.

My Belly Button is Famous!
Wednesday, June 10, 2009 10:29:39 PM
Back in April, 2009, a friend of mine, Richie, put a nice male belly button gallery together. Anyone could submit, so I figured I'd send him a picture of mine, to go in the post.
I also posted about that happening and just had fun with the reactions to his post.
Two months later, that single image accounts for most of the google driven traffic on my other blog.
I'm on the sixth page of images if you search images for belly button
I don't know about you, but that cracks me up.
Here's the image of my belly button, enjoy:

The wonders of google
Saturday, June 6, 2009 12:55:44 PM
On my other blog, I ran an article about how I almost got my phone stolen in Barcelona.
The post is called Thievery Tips.
Funny thing about said post is that it's the second result google returns if you search for tips on thievery. Now that's what I call funny.
I imagine some poor, washed-up thirty-something-year-old, trying to learn how to make an honest a buck, hitting rock bottom, resorting to google, and ending up with my rant. You could say things really are not looking up for that guy.
I always thought stuff like how to rob people and how to pick locks and so on were passed down by word of mouth, by periods of initiation. At least through some sort of books. I guess times are changing.
Maybe we can set up a forum, tips on thievery dot biz
And just as I was writing this, I decided to google thievery tips...
