Aion, the WoW killer
Aion isn’t out yet for North America or Europe, but has already caused long time WoW players to quit. That is what my household has done, ending the life of two, four years old, accounts.
Beta 4 is coming up, July 17th and we can hardly wait. Preorder will give you access to the beta, so go ahead! Simply Google Aion and follow the appropiated link.
While we wait, it feels good to be out of WoW. Really liberating! ⌘ Read more
Днес излезе и новото Postges 8.4 :)
Ура! Най-после работещ Twitter шмундзел за KDE 4. Много по-добре от gtwitter, който ми стоеше като кръпка.

Героят вече се движи в 4-те посоки и се обръща респективно. Малко е вдървен все още но това май ще е лесно за оправяне.
KDE 4.2 in Nixpkgs/NixOS
We now have a fairly complete set of KDE 4.2 packages in Nixpkgs
and NixOS. Previously we had KDE 3.5, but it was rather
incomplete: just kdelibs and kdebase.
Now we have all that desktop goodness, such as
kdemultimedia, kdenetwork and kdegames.
You can enable KDE 4 in NixOS by setting the
services.xserver.sessionType option to
kde4. Thanks go to Yury G. Kudryashov, And … ⌘ Read more
Safari 4 Beta
Safari 4 Beta is out and it is rocking. Apple has adopted (copied) quite a bit from Chrome interface and I have to say the browser looks and behaves awesomely under Windows 7.
But, why bore you with senseless praise? Go download it, and see it for yourself. ⌘ Read more
From today’s Barack’s email
News broke this morning that Senator Clinton made three separate loans to her campaign in the past 30 days —including one as recently as Monday.
These loans total more than $6.4 million, which combined with her previous personal loans, add up to at least $11.4 million she’s loaned her campaign since February.
A spokesman said she may continue to “loan the campaign additional money out of her jointly-held assets” —which include more than $100 million in … ⌘ Read more

I had to have them
I found this weblog, via
Kottke, and in it, this post
I like: So long\
Flight of the Conchords. And I loved it. I had to have the list of
videos on that log here1, to show wife, to play them at a later time.
Simply awesome. And here they come (links go to Youtube):

Post Katrina crime increase
Ever since after Katrina we have seeing crime increase to levels never saw before in Orlando. Crime has been so high, that it has placed our city on the top most 25 dangerous cities in the States. Orlando, City Beautiful, rated higher than Miami on crime. Every single day more than 4-5 people die victim of a violent crime. Others get injured. It seems other cities/sta … ⌘ Read more
Small catching up
Last week was a busy week. The Exchange server went into ¾ full production and, yes, it crashed. For the first time I had to recover the PRIV and PUB databases and the server wasn’t been on production not even a week! Oh boy…
I got the Lingo gateway (VoIP gateway, that is) and the quality is excellent, while reaching their technical support is close to impossible. When I finall … ⌘ Read more
Life with an XPS
Three weeks ago I finally got motivated — read Kim gave me an ultimatum — and sold my two Rolleiflex at eBay. The main purpose of selling them was to buy a digital camera, to replace the one I don’t have. But after consideration of:
- The one I wanted was too expensive.
- The body did not come with a lens.
- I barely have time to take pictures.
- KM has monopolized our home workstation.
I decided that the b … ⌘ Read more
First working week; about to start
The 2004 first working week (at least for me) is about to start. I know it is going to be difficult after 4 and a half days off, but hey, “a man has to do what a man has to do…”. I hope we (TRC staff) will know early this week who was the choosen one for the position we interviewed people for.
Went to sleep early today (around 2:00 AM). I was playing with [AnyDVD](ht … ⌘ Read more
Newly digital
I started using computers back in 1985. The PC’s I used were old dinosaurs, running at the blazing speeds of 2 MHz, with 640KB of RAM, no hard drive and 5” ¼ floppy drives. I could turn the machine on and go to flirt with girls on the halls of my college while it was booting. Sometimes I even had time to make out!
Programing was done with Quick Basic or Turbo Basic, and floppies had to be swaped at times, in endless search of the “command.com”. I had a whole collection of floppies, all carefu … ⌘ Read more
