Un documentar interesant despre YouTube

 

Am avut răbdare să-l urmăresc până la sfârșit deși a durat 55 de minute.

Un cățel fericit – cu Athos la piscină

 

La ziua Teei (2 ani la mulți ani!!) am reușit să-l convingem peMihai să-l lase pe Athos în piscină. Filmulețe găsiți aici.

Omul albastru și împliniri

 

M-am speriat când a răsărit în spatele meu, la 10 centimetri de mine… I-am zis: “Ptiu ce m-ai speriat, stai să-ți fac poză dacă tot te-ai înființat lângă mine!”. Dar a fugit râzând spre pâlcul de oameni vopsiți de pe Magheru.

 

 

Undeva, în Colentina, o amintire a altor vremuri.

Graduation party – college over

 

The time has come to graduate the college.

I would like to thank everyone that made me make up my mind after all those years and enroll to college.

Been there, done that, what’s next? We’ll see…

Orange brings iPhone to Romania

 

“Orange today announced a new agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone to Orange customers in Austria, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Portugal,Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and Orange’s African markets later this year. “ - orange.com, wsj.com.

I wonder how many romanian Vodafone customers will switch to Orange. I’m surely not going to do this mistake.

Anyone wanna bet that the new iPhone will cost 1000 euro without a plan in Romania?

Wrath of the Lich King preview movie

 

Even if it’s a long way until World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King will be released, we can enjoy for now a sneak preview movie.

Boring news for most people, exciting for WoW addicts.

I am not sure what side I am of these days. Can’t say I’m addicted anymore. Lost interest in playing, too bad it took me so long to realize it was a complete waste of time, after 150 days of playtime, that’s 3600 hours lost. I know it’s not the first time I go through this stage, just hoping this time it’s for good. I stopped raiding back in August 2007, but only now, when I got so bored of pointless farming and pvp,I can leave the WoW world behind without any regrets.

Big thanks to my guild <Sublime> for all the fun times we had all these years!

10 important people that made a difference

in my professional life – chronological order:

1. Ioan Mihai Cochinescu - My father, bought my first HC 90 in 1992 instead of a TV video game that I wanted badly. By doing this he “forced” me to learn Basic as I had no games for my new computer. Then he got for me an external floppy unit and the CP/M saga began. I loved dbase II. Damn I miss those times!

2. Robert Benea - He had a PC runningWindows 3.0 in 1993, quite a thrill back then. Inspired me for things to come in my life, gave me the computers enthusiasm that I still keep nowadays.

3. Dan Gultureanu - My friend and physics tutor from the age of 15 until the age of 17, teen icon for me as he was and still is a brilliant guy. After finishing high-school I gave up on physics and started working.

4. Cristi Opris – Good friend that had a late night show in 1997 on Radio Contact. Helped me when I moved from Ploiesti to Bucharest and he also found my first job interview forEvZ. We discovered the Internet together in 1995 and opened our first pcnet uucp email accounts and created Geocities webpages later. (Interesting note: he managed to get invisible, no informations can be found about him on the Internet anymore. Nice trick, huh?)

5. Cristina Bratu – We’ve met at EvZ and became friends. She found my next job, atHBV in 1998. It was a big step forward for my career. Thanks Cris!

6. Bernd Morchutt – General Manager of HBVRomania in 1998 and later of Burda Romaniafrom 1999 until 2003. I see him as my “second father”. He believed in me and gave me the most painful but rewarding life lessons.

7. Sandi Apostoloiu - Friend and co-worker since 1999. Helped me get through some rough times in Serbia while working there together from 2001 to 2004. Pokes me when I go crazy at work. Somehow, he became my boss. We’re still friends.

8. Dan Shoop - Tech guru, a real relief for myApple related problems since 2003. He doesn’t know me but I’m his long time fan. His impact on my professional life was outstanding.

9. Ani Dumitru – Ex-head accountant forBurda Romania, talked me into creating my own company in 2004. Good advice, great success! Thanks Ani!

10. Florin Ghica - My godfather and good friend, boosted me on the romanian Applecomputers business market in 2004, expanding my company’s horizon.
