My family has a proverb, "mai binele e dusmanul binelui" ("better is the enemy of good"); it's probably best translated through "if it ain't broke don't fix it", and it has served us well for many years ( Read more... )

Hey, Lush addicts on my flist? I think I may have discovered the attraction of Lush. Luckily, with this came the discovery that there are Lush stores in Romania! Can't complain about backwards-ness anymore, I guess ( Read more... )

I dreamed I was a negotiator representing humans, and we were negotiating an alliance of sorts with Wraith emissaries from the future. Because the future was going to encounter an even more formidable threat (enemy? entropy? I don't know), and the Wraith knew, and the only way was that we all (there was a third race, whom I don't remember; they ( Read more... )

(This will only make sense if you've seen the two most recent Heroes episodes.)

I was thinking about naming it Mister (that's another book Dresden Files reference, you tv show heathens), but man, by the way it's behaving, I probably should name the laptop Molly. :( ( um, Heroes spoilers while talking about computer troubles; can I get more nerdy? )

Dude, looks like LJ launched comments tracking for paid users! O_o I was just refreshing the flist, and bom! a new link to each post, "Track comments". Now, before we rejoice - I haven't tested it yet. But hey, a new toy that might not suck! :P (Those happy few permanent account holders who've been testing it so far can tell us if it's worth ( Read more... )

On the good side, I can now write CDs and DVDs again! And guess what, I might've been able to before, if we only had tried to remove the secondary DVD unit which was draining too much power! Aaaargh ( Read more... )

Bah. The miracle didn't even last three days. The SGA torrent downloaded in almost ten hours (longer than I've been at work, and this has been a long day). Now the best I can get is 4-5 KB/s, and I can't upload anything. It feels like dial-up ( Read more... )
