New toy

So, a couple of days ago I got me a new toy (actually a present :P), the Asus EEEpc 701 (4GB SSD version). What can I tell? It's a great piece of work. It's small and extremely affordable and extremely portable. You can find more info about all models here EEE. I got it with WinXp SP1 pre-installed, worked great. I decided to install the SP3 version. It was a little bit hard, because I installed it from a 1GB SD card (I'll come back soon with tutorial on how to do that)because it doesn't have an optical drive. With a minimum software package (OpenOffice 3, CoolPDF, Firefox, Yahoo Messenger, Thunderbird) it worked great. Next OS choice was BackTrack 3 (Link linux distro for testing security). Well I installed it on a bootable USB and I ran it from there. Still worked great accept the fact that I couldn't connect to any wireless networks. I don't know why because on the net I didn't find this issue appearing to anyone else. The third SO on my EEE is the Ubuntu based EasyPeasy (Link), a distro created especially for netbooks. No more problems here. Everything works great here, even the wireless card.The software selection is great, even though I uninstalled some of the programs because I don't need them on my portable (Skype, Transmission BitTorrent, I exchanged EvolutionMail for Thunderbird).
Another good thing I did is update the BIOS. With the original BIOS the 900Mhz worked only at 600Mhz. With the latest BIOS the Intel ATOM processor works at full capacity.
The next thing I'll do, next week, is replace the 512Mb SODIMM with 1GB, or maybe 2 (depending on the finances). That's all for now about my new jewel. I'll come back soon with some new tutorials.

:)

Yeah, yeah... I know I've stayed hidden for a while, but now I'm back. There was Christmas and Christmas Brake, New Year's Eve with it's astonishing party, and then I came back here to Cluj and started my exam session :((.

So I have some new shit for you ladies and gents:


Yep it is the Dragonball: Evolution trailer! Go Goku :P!

1st of December

"...The Great Union of 1918 was and remains the most sublime event in Romanian history. Its greatness resides in the fact that the fulfilment of the national unity is not the work of any politician, government or party; it is the historic deed of the whole Romanian nation, accomplished out of a powerful longing coming from the vivid awareness of the unity of the people and channelled by the political leaders for it to be led towards its aim with a remarkable political intelligence. [...]

The Great Union was not the result of Romania participating in the war. Neither the supporters of the Entente, nor those of the Central Powers did take into account the Russian revolution or the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Their reasoning followed the traditional formula of the power relations between states: the victory of the Entente would bring to us Bucovina, Transylvania and the Banat, while the victory of the Central Powers would bring Bessarabia; one victory excluded the other so that no one could see how all these provinces could join the borders of the Old Kingdom simultaneously. [...]

It was not a military victory that laid the foundation of Great Romania, but the will of the Romanian nation to create for itself the territorial and institutional framework that is the national state. [...]

A historic necessity - the nation has to live within a national state - proved to be more powerful than any government or party, guilty of selfishness or incompetence and, putting the nation into motion, gave it that huge drive to overcome all the adversities and make its dream come true: the national state.

Never again... the same

I'm thinking this.... Or better said I'm knowing this: this is changeing me! Fact! Stop. The avalanche of people that I've met since I'm here is overwhelming! But that's the point. It's great! I love meeting new and interesting people, I love getting to know true and intelligent persons, like the circle I've created here. We are students from all over the world, meeting in this city just to evolve. We are here to experience, to get to know our own selfes, to experiment, to have fun, to explore,to get used to the big city, and others, but not least to study :). Yep, college means studying, and I promise that after the freshman's bal I'll start too.

Over and out!

Truda - The 5 o'clock news

Truda is a Romanian band, pretty hardcore, very underground, extremely cluj-eni :D.
The 5 o'clock are the above-ground hardcore-est news in Romania. Only rapes, car crashes and
murders.
Truda decides to take them together. Awesome clip in my opinion. Enjoy :)

The Self Measuring Condom

If you ever wanted to know how you measure up in the bedroom checkout the, Condometric, it kind of does what you’d expect. Roll on, read the measurement then jump into bed (or turn the lights out and sneak under the covers).

More info and pictures over on the Condometric.

A new day shines on....

Yep, I've been for a week now in Cluj. Basically it's great. I'm staying in a dorm, and by huge luck I have great roommates, it my group @ school I've met some great guys and girls, so we hang out a lot, and by adding the friends I already had here in cluj, and the ones I came with, things look really pink :).
School is pretty shitty until now cause I have two mathematics and about six computer science classes, and I hate math since I was in junior high, so during the math classes I can barely fight to stay awake.

Soon I'll be back with more reviews and stuff so don't forget to keep coming cause I'll keep posting.
