I thought the previous post will be the last in this series (at least for a while), but I really must share this with you, it’s priceless. And of course it comes from my favorite, MS Windows. While trying to move some user’s documents from an old computer to a newly assigned one, I stumbled […]
Stumbled upon this site filled with useless and silly quizzes, but this one might be more truthful than it seems: Which is not something one would normally say about this one: Just too bad the code for the badge they provide on the site contains a shameless link to their dating service. Not nice. Oh […]
This may well be the last installment for this series of posts, because as (I think) I have mentioned before I’ve quit my current sysadmin job. December 21 will be my last day with Graffiti BBDO, but this is going to be another post. I must confess the story of this first screenshot is a […]
But I still have to say it: I finally found some time and upgraded my WordPress installation to version 2.3, codenamed “Dexter” :). I couldn’t have missed it for the world! I wish I could have made it for his birthday, but anyway… better late than never. Now I just wish I could also change […]

Having a little spare time on my hands, It seemed like a good opportunity to check out the new Flash CS3, and also do something about that audio player in the process. Yet, to my deepest […]
So much for my resolutions… I didn’t get the chance to write anything since two days ago. Nothing interesting happened in the meantime, really. Except for two nights ago, when I decided to swap the hard drive in Crenguţa’s laptop. If only I knew from the beginning what a hassle is going to be, and […]
I am the fresh, proud and happy owner of an 80GB iPod! 😀 After years of drooling, my dream has finally came true, thanks to my incredible wife Crenguţa, whose idea I believe it was, and with the financial help from my sister Ancuţa, my sister-in-law Alina and my mother-in-law Iuliana. Thank you, I love […]
My first month on the new job is almost over now, so I thought I’d share with you the most funny support requests I’ve had so far. For example today I got a call from someone in the PR Department that sounded something like this (approximate quotation from the top of my head): When I’m […]
