Gradina Botanica si Green Tea
Pentru ca mi-a zis Clarisa ca ar trebui sa mai incerc si limba Romana… sa vedem daca ma descurc. La Gradina Botanica: Am gasit o canapea pe cinste. Unii au incercat, altii au reusit sa invete cum se arunca o minge de fotbal american. Nu am ajuns totusi la chiparosii de balta (Taxodium Distichum). Daca am fi ajuns la ei, ar fi aratat cam asa de colorati, si le-am fi vazut penumogenunchii...
Slanic and Ciucas, October 13-14
Participants: Clarisa, Sinziana, Andrei. A couple of photos below. The rest - a little bit later, in Flickr. Insane winds and cold. And this is just the beginning. All the equipment in the world is not enough if you don’t have good gloves. You can use socks as gloves, but not if they’re thin cotton socks. Sometimes, it pays off to look at the weather predictions! It is possible to...
Work and personal time
Just realized: When you let work time encroach upon personal time, personal stuff will get back at you and encroach upon work time, rendering it “useless” and forcing you to work even more. Ex: this week, worked late three evenings, which led to me not processing my inbox at home. Didn’t see and didn’t pay the bills from my phone company. Then, today, at work, I got a...
Orphanage, September 29
Homework with the children at the orphanage. Wish I could take some pictures, but afraid they’ll go berseck at the sight of a camera.
Piatra Mare, September 22-23
Participants: Andrei, Sinziana No pictures, unfortunately. Highlights: Great weather, though on the cool side at night. My sleeping bag does not go that low. Important to hedge when any unknown variable comes into play. Huh, too little gas in my cartridge? A lot of thought about what really matters. Will give the honors courses to all people who are new to backpacking. The swimming pool,...

No Google Reader fix - yet
I thought I had the ultimate Google Reader fix. As many others, I use starring in Google Reader to mark items to be read at a later date. I would, however, very much like to be able to use the “Next” browser button, especially for partial feeds from major news sources (Economist, BusinessWeek, any Romanian news). The “Next” browser button moves you through unread items...

Wanted: Facebook app
Wanted: a Facebook app that functions like iRead or Visual bookshelf but pulls its data from Librarything.
iTunes syncing drives me crazy
Couldn’t sleep tonight because of jet lag, so I tried to get iTunes libraries to behave as I want them to. Here’s the deal: I have an external hard drive that now contains all of my music - 200+ GB of it. I would live to have a way to move some of it - usually 500 MB or so - back to the hard drive of my Macbook. Temporarily. To listen to while at work or about. But I want iTunes...

Forced to follow a Twitterer?
This is quite inconsequential, but a nuisance: I can’t “remove” (stop “following”) a particular Twitterer. This particular person posts links to a ton of articles, which I find annoying. I try to remove and obtain a confirmation.
However, when I refresh the page, Twitter cheerily announces that I am still following 21C!
This bug might be related to the numeric username?
(via HiveTalk)
Serrin: Twitter refuses to remove a certain Twitterrer I follow; after repeatedly “removing”, this person still shows up (via Twitter / Serrin)
Serrin: packing doesn’t sound very appealing… I’d rather be backpacking (via Twitter / Serrin)
