dj shadow – six days vs. colonel bagshot – six day war

I love the DJ Shadow “Six days” and video by Wong Kar-wai but I didn’t know that originally it’s Colonel Bagshot song. You’ll find both versions below. Original versions’s good but with the touch of DJ Shadow it gets some more… Well, it’s just better. In case you, dear reader, come from the place in the universe where the Six day war is not known just hit this link. That’s important piece of history.

Kudos goes to GreenElixir for pointing out info about Colonel in one of the comments below DJ Shadow version.

Do you know how to recognize a communist?

If nope here’s the US government piece of propaganda. Really good one.

Frightening, isn’t?

Whoa! First post from France

Long time no see!

Almost 3 months ago we moved to… France. We were recovering after the move and few funny things that happened like our cat jumping from balcony (3rd floor, lost for two weeks) and general confusion caused by moving to Cote d’Azur. Yes, we’re living in the Cote d’Azur now, Antibes. Weather’s nice (but not as good as advertised , sea is great and our son loves playing in the water. Couldn’t be better. Almost hehe. Will put link to photos on the flickr.

Anyway, now I work for Amadeus as a J2EE dev in a lovely campus in Sophia Antipolis. I’ll get camera to work one day and will do some nice photos. It’s really lovely place, looks better then Mountain View, CA. No free food though . ‘For real’ I work for GFI Informatique which is contracting company and which send me to a ‘mission’ to Amadeus.

In next few weeks I’ll try to write 2 guides: one for searching a cat in foreign country hehe and the other for moving to Sophia, pros, cons and stuff like that. Maybe it’ll help someone, you never know.

My masters is “almost” done, software works more or less nice (will post jar someday on the project site). Have to finish everything in 20 days so maybe I’ll have my MSc at last in the autumn. Keep fingers crossed.
Back to masters by the way.

Cheers!

P.S.
Moved to wordpress.com, was a bit upset with my hosting, nazwa.pl. Anyway won’t have to do those boring wordpress updates on my own. We’ll see how things works here.

War never changes

Funny way to say important things. Worth watching. Originally posted on pinktentacle

Smashing magazine put Linzie spam-collection in their best-of-january-2008. Huh, it’s amazing. Linzie Hunter, UK illustrator had… smashing idea. She collected best of the best spam sentences, and with her astounding talent – look what we’ve got. Spam art! In case you’ll enjoy one of my favourites go and see Linzie website, her portfolio is quite impressive, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it

Whoa! Unexpected migration to WordPress!

After looking at all those blogs with fancy tag clouds, categories and stuff I’ve decided to move to WordPress It looks nice, has nifty themes and is quite simple and straight when it comes to blogging.

And yes, I migrated from Joomla!. Reason?
Basically I believe that there’s no ultimate tool for every task you might want to do, Joomla! is fantastic when it comes to content management but WordPress is much better when it’s about blogging. Why’s that? Because Joomla!’s not trying to be blog app (thank god!) and WordPress is the best when it’s about blogging. Why not blogger? Huh, Google *is* scary, that’s why

I hope that moving to WordPress will allow me to focus a bit on other things. I wonder how crawlers will handle my site btw, I love my PR6 and site being indexed quite nice. We’ll see anyway.

OpenWengo vs SELinux

Love from the first sight? That could have happen if Wengo-folks would give a lil effort to share with users how to run Wengo on RH distros :/. Wengo looks really great to me but will have to spent some time to actually run it on my beloved FC6.

Skype second mistake? Last for me :)

I was even more sure that switch to pidgin was good idea after last Skype network crash. And saying that it was Microsoft fault is, sad but true, childish. Bad software design is the fault of designer . Anyway, I’m pretty scared about the report posted by one of the users on Skype forum, let me give you a link, read on /. of course. That’s another reason to stop using proprietary software. I use Skype rarely but now… it’s offline for ever, that’s for sure.

Pasta sauce and the move

While being on the move to new lovely flat let me post awesome advert of Japan pasta souce from the greatest mayo producer in the world . For the greatest fans of my blog only. Thanks for the movie bro!

Pandora’s dead

I used to listen to it a *lot*. Really a LOT. Now because of some silly things I can’t do it anymore. It’s about money I guess. Again and again. Damn it.

We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for most listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative. Check it on your own www.pandora.com. And if you don’t know what’s Pandora there’s always wikipedia.
