КРС 2007-06-06 09:55:47 КРС или иначе казано комисията за регулиране на съобщенията си търсят работници. Обявата е за Експерт в отдел “Информационно Обслужване”. Експерт звучи гордо нали … да ама не. В крайна сметка се оказва че просто си търсят някой дето да котка малките невинни лузерчета. Да сменя тонер, да чисти мишки, да оправя рбл-то … абе всичко за което се сетиш. И представи си работата не била много защото услугиите били аутсорснати. Ми че кво като са изнесени … все пак тоя отдел трябва да съществува, трябва да отчита дейност, трябва да се работи.

I am worth $2,015,250 on HumanForSale.com How much are you worth? 2007-06-02 07:17:42 Today as i was surfing i stumbled on HumanForSale site. There they calculate how much are you worth. It was fun (despite the fact that the test is for americanz). In the end after some googling, to get the questions right, the site said that i am worth $2,015,250. Quite good, isn’t it. Now i just have to lose some weight, get divorced and quit smoking and my price will go up with about 500,000.
Also it is nice that there are some short explanations, which and with how much counts in the final sum.
Now off you go to HumanForSale to see how much you are worth.
На печелившите честито, останалите са уволнени 2007-05-29 10:06:54 Горе долу това беше репликата в понеделник. Само за статистиката, печелившите са 3-ма, шефа, секретарката и чистачката. Всички останали (разработчици, админи) са уволнение, разкарани, shafted … Просто фирмата закрива българският клон. Весело нали. Това беше просто перфектната новина за започване на седмицата. А имаше даже 4 дни почивка.
И сега какво … след 3 години работа в тая фирма ти казват бегай. Еми бегаме … за кадърни хора (към които смея да се числя) винаги ще се намери работа. Само дето сега ще трябва да си обучавам колегите че не е поле
ISP troubles 2007-06-25 10:13:51 It seems that my problems with the providers are unending. Well maybe the providers themselves have problems but that is not interesting to me. Thi simple fact is that i have no connectivity and this is a thing i rarely can tolerate, i even hate it.
First my hosting provider went down hard with a glitch in their core systems on friday. Well what you can do … Basically friday is a slow day for me so it wasn’t such a pain. And see a surprise, they were back in almost no time. Well they were a bit laggy for some time but this is not crucial. Later at saturday, the power blinked 3 times, and quite a lot of my isp’s equipment got dead. Here you go over 5 hours of downtime. Today … again fun, cut cable, 3 more hours. At least i found out for this much.
I am touting on an isp change, but … noone here offers such speeds. Let’s sleep over it and will think on it on a fresh head.
The Curious Life of the Silicon 2007-06-28 08:46:07 The silicon is a strange thing. No i am not talking about the silicon being pumped in someones tities, i am talking about the silicon in our machines. It’s correct name is silica, but everyone is refering to it with silicon. It is a strange animal, it has rules to abide to. It grows works. But not allways. Man how happy was i when i got my hands on my firs celleron. It worked at 400Mhz and it was a pure beast. Man how much the landscape changed since then … The CPUs had grownup, became faster, easier on the power usage, can be updated, and caught bugs. I never thought about cpu’s in this way … bugs, that should stay in the software land not hardware. And now what provoked all this.
Intel Core 2
A short writeup from Teo De Raat from *BSD teams. Lots of darkness creeps in this thread. I start to wonder with so many shits in the silicon, what CPU to purchase for my next machine. Intel or AMD. Maybe not … Maybe MIPS or RISK, maybe even CELL based.

Windows Based Coffee maker 2007-07-02 11:50:32 Today as i am working my fisrt day at the new work, suddenly i feel urged to drink coffee. Well but in the office there is only a vending machine and not a real coffee maker
. And we started to think funny things … we had the following ideas for windows based coffee maker. (For MS hounds: i am the first to write such thing, so don’t dare try to steal it. The site has a strict license). Now by the numbers:
You will be able to exactly dose your coffee - well by passing trough about 40 menus, but you can do it, right.
You will be able to exactly dose your sugar - and only with 3 clicks … with your credit card, isn’t it awesome.
You will be able to perfectly regulate the temperature of your coffee - if the feature starts to work at all.
The coffee maker will automatically learn about new types of coffee - but will forget the old ones or will claim that you’ve never drank such stuff.
Every time you switch the coffee you will have to unplug it and plug it back Read more:Windows

Apple iPhone released and Disected 2007-07-01 06:35:55 Only few hours after Apple
’s iPhone
has been launched for sale, the good guys from AnandTech already have it disected so we won’t be tempted to. All in all the phone looks sturdy, a bit massive, and it is almost impossible to get disassembled. It looks like there are no plans in repairing it, which is minus according to me. Well, tell me one thing in these years that can last 2 years straight.

Blackout 2007-07-04 16:04:58 Do you know what blackout is? By common knowledge it is the process of darkening a city against bombardment, but not only this. It could mean a loss of memmory for a certain perioud of time. And today i just vanished for about half an hour. I don’t know what happened to me but i am missing half an hour. I havent fallen asleep. I haven’t fainted, just led a normal converstation from which i have no recollection. Now what the hell is this. It is plain weird. I had blackouts before but the were after the consumption of enormous quantities of hard liquer, at such stage more or less you start to miss some moments.
Anything interesting … not much i would say, only the little girl that was with us at IBB. She was so fun. Happy, smily, wild, even funny at times. She were such eye opener. The kids are good, but they sould be at least 3 in age. untill then they are so demanding.

Say NO to OOXML 2007-07-13 02:28:38 ISO is an international body working on standartisation of certain practices. I(n this specific posting we will be talking about the document specification OOXML (Google Search) and specifically its inaplicability in todays world. Sta proposition for the standard from MS is 6000 pages big and describes so well what their office package can and cannot do it is almost scary. The whole proposition is so stuffed with atrocities which ensure “compatibility” with the older MS Office formats and whatever not that it scares the shit out of me. How does it sound to you that a standard proposes behaviour like autoSpaceLikeWord95 or useWord97LineBreakRules. Especially for me this is scary, very scary and frightening. It is not possible a proposed standard to impose such … profanities over the developers.
And just by the way there is already an approved standard for document format and it is called ODF. And as empty words are not enough it is already under ISO26300.

A dead simple webserver in bash 2007-07-18 06:57:31 Here i will show you a very simple idea for a poorman’s webserver. I warn you it lacks functionality and is prety useless.
Why
For a number of reasons. You can want a very simple statistics, lets say average load. You may want to park a very simple page. You may wish no to start a full blown webserver or any other reasons.
Prerequisites
We assume the following:
This web server will serve static content
Will serve only one simple page regardless of clients desire
It will listen on port 8080
Theory of operation
We will need something to take the incoming request - we will be using netcat which is known popularly as “TCP/IP swiss army knife” along with a simple wrapper script.
We have to distinguish that a request has arrived - in the current situation we don’t really care. The moment we see a traffic at our listening port means that someone is making a request, as soon as the traffic stops the request has arrived and we will send our response.
We have to constr

Happy SysAdmin’s Day 2007-07-27 02:21:38 Every year in the last friday of july all the System Administrators around the world celebrate their holiday. The day of the System Administrator.

And remember the system administrators don’t drink flowers, candy, water or other similar poisonous things.
Happy

Globalization 2007-08-08 05:45:35 Q: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
A: Princess Diana’s death.
Q: How come?
A: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, in a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling) followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines. This is sent to you by an African, using Bill Gate’s technology, and you’re probably reading this on your computer, that uses Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican illegals…..
That, my friends, is Globalization
