On politics and terror

2007-01-03T12:59:46Z

I was thinking - terrorist are going the wrong way about it. They shouldn't use explosives, too messy, doesn't convey enough fear, wastes human lives foolishly, etc... Instead, aerosol dispersed pyschedelic halluciongens (LSD and the likes) should be used. When a person doesn't know (s)he is under influence of drugs, but starts having weird experiences, it gets scared real fast. And fear under effect of hallucinogenic substances breeds interesting behavior (from perspective behavior study). Soon, you don't start fearing you die, but that you aren't murdered by your loved ones.

Second, dictatorship is good, you just need a honest dictator that will work for betterment of his people.

Hoe hoe hoe!

2006-12-27T13:02:06Z

Three days before giftmas, I've caused a fender bender at riddiculous speed (20 km per h). I've barely shifted into second gear after lights changed to green, drove solid 5 meters after the first car. We turned left, he suddenly stopped to let someone with right of way, I stepped on the breaks, and watched in horror how the 5m melted away until I've rammed 1.5 tonnes of up the exhaust pipe of car half the size and mass. The horror - he didn't even get a scratch on his rear end, while the grill and fender on my car were massacred. Damn small cars.

Luckily, it was company car - full insurance, not gonna cost me a dime.

Trippin'

2006-12-15T13:42:09Z

I've made 1400 kilometer driving around in the last 4 days. I've been furthest south you can get in our country. Went to Dubrovnik - supposedly a beautiful city... but it rained. After that I went to Metkovic, but spent about an hour there. To Split from there, a horrid mass of insanity inducing traffic things (not worth calling streets and raods). After that a quick sidetrip to Sibenik, and from there to Zadar.

When staying in Zadar, I suggest Funimation hotel in Borik. 4 stars, not really expensive, and is a wellness club, so you have access to spa, pool (in&out, depending on time of year), fitness, and so on...

Also, I've bought Neverwinter Nights 2. I didn't want to, but it was stronger than me. At least I managed not to buy the limited edition (Lawful Good, it is called) which included original NWN + exp. packs, some stuff not worth mentioning and a LG ring... I'm still fighting urges not to go and buy it.

just another update

2006-12-01T13:19:52Z

Some stuff happened since the last time I've posted.

1) other day (monday, I think) I saw a guy dead on the curb, after being hit by a car.
2) I'm getting myself a new cell phone. This one has served me well, but his retirment is nigh.
3) I've had the most lovely dream tonight. Can't tell you more about it because it is kinda too personal. Almost included a kiss, no need to know more.
4) Six sick Sikhs.
5) that is it.

job

2006-11-13T12:44:29Z

Didn't get the job :(

Oh, well. Life goes on.

On the upside - I won about $40 in lottery :)

Nerdcore

2006-11-03T07:58:47Z

I've got my hans on MC Frontalot's "Nerdcored Rising". Geeksta rap (a.k.a. nerdcore) is fun :) Intelligent texts about nerd lifestyle and hip hop beats do mix :)

cops

2006-10-26T10:48:05Z

I was intercepted on wednesday by a police interceptor for driving 116km/h in a 70km/h zone. 2 punitive points and 800 kuna ticket (about 100 euro, 130 us$). Damn cops...

On the upside, legal department at work is nice enough and is looking for a way that I wouldn't have to pay the fine.

Work

2006-10-20T12:06:03Z

On the 30th of this month, at 9 o'clock in the morning, my future will be decided. I have the final interview for the new job.

And I firmly decided to get certified for MCSA and CompTIA A+, and, in time, for MCSE and CompTIA Network+ and Security+.

Work

2006-10-02T14:17:48Z

I just got a call from headhunting / HR agency that called me a month ago and it seems I've got into the final round.

First round: interview with the HR agency that headhunted me.
Second round: IQ, personality, and bussines english tests.
Third round: interview with the company's HR manager, member of the board, and IT expert from company that IT is outsourced to.

And today I get the call.

Final round: a guy from Great Britain will come over, and chose the One. Number of candidates: 2.

I'm going to throw up from excitement now.

Aftermath

2006-08-29T14:55:03Z

Yesterday's date went rather well, if I say so. The girl looked even hotter in person than she did in the picture. And she is really cute and sweet and smart. I just have to see if it will go anywhere.

Today's job interview turned out to be surreal. I was informed that it isn't a job that I thought it would be - system administration and technical support - but, rather, that was just a part of the job. The job is basicaly Chief Information Officer with some manual work. I might be way over my head in deep stuff with this one, but damn it, I will try to get that job! Live the dream!

Wheee!!!

2006-08-28T07:17:12Z

I have a date today :)
Met her on the local wireless network, on one of several hubs for distribution and dissemination or pirate material. She is 26, working on her graduation thesis from monetary mathematics, and from pictures she looks really hot. And even if it turns out she isn't hot, she is still smarter than me. I should start shaking soon :)

Head hunters

2006-08-26T08:28:57Z

Yesterday I got a call from a human resources managment company (sounds so inhuman, doesn't it?) related to me being a suitable candidate for a job. I was asked to send in my CV and let them know if I was interested. Now, I have to wait for interview. I'm so excited that I can barely contain it and prevent shaking. Yeah. I'm going to continue my attempts not to fall asleep at work :)

@§§!!!

2006-08-12T07:18:34Z

I'm not exactly what city officials are thinking about, but they probably have no concept of gridlock... For the last month and a half there was a lot of road work in the city - roads fixed, pipes being set down, parking zones set up, and so on... trouble is that the major traffic routes have been in question, and they've been simultaneously closed, with no prior warning. It didn't affect me much, since most of the work was on the other side of town, but... There is always a but, isn't it? Well, this morning I was rudely surprised when I had to take a 3 mile detour for a quarter mile of usual route. And yesterday evening (approx. 10pm) there was no hint that the road would be closed.

That is all.

MWahahahaaa

2006-08-02T12:39:52Z

This kind of music is called "turbo folk" and is considered to be the pinnacle of neo-primitivism in my country. Imagine "Paris Hilton wannabe" girls (only not rich) and "russian mafia wannabe" guys going to the same club, and listening to something like this. They're there to find a guy to support them, and they're there to get drunk and fuck the best looking of the lot. Shooting is not uncommon, police intervenes more often than not, and there is always local mafia involved in the ownership of the establishment. Biggest female name in turbo folk is wife of dead war criminal and local mafia leader.

Anyway, I present to you... System of a down gets it up the ass... :'(

Motherfuckers!

2006-07-28T15:56:07Z

I am going to really kills off some of our politicians. I just ran into this -> click me!

They're selling off islands to rich bastards. Private islands are abomination to everything I believe in.

Syriana

2006-07-24T06:36:05Z

Nice movie, that Syriana. Shows the real price of oil. Switch over to solar, wind or electric power, biodiesel, metal nanoparticles... Just don't use damn oil. If you do, another Clooney will die.

I was watching "Love Actually" yesterday evening. Alone. *sniff*
Didn't see the movie before that, and I have to say that movies made in UK are awesome and brilliant 90% of the time. Unlike in another english speaking country I will not name.

Got some new books, can't even remember which, so many of them.
I tried to bake bread yesterday, but failed. Dough didn't turn out right.
Not feeling verbose now. Bye.

I bought Chobits manga, volumes 1 & 2. I should really get around to watching that series again :)
Also, I bought "Kafka's Soup" (can't remember author) which is a cookbook. Go figure... :) There is about a dozen recepies in there, and they're all written as famous writers would write it. Favorite's Kafka's soup, which is basicaly miso soup with tofu and mushrooms. Story in which he cooks it is absurd :D
Raymond Chandler's meat is good, and Jane Austen's "Eggs with estragon", too :)
