What are you reading about Romanian internet?

17 November 2009

When you disrupt dishonest businesses, you expect to read a lot of dirt about yourself. That includes that your traffic is not what you say it is, that you blackmail people, that you lie for a living. I am used to this, because i hear it every day, from different people. Bogdan Gavrila is such […]

ZenPhoto sucks!

11 October 2009

In case anyone asks, zenphoto is a piece of sh*t script! It keeps giving me blank pages for no reason. Just like that. I did not do anything to it and it crashed. So I spent a few hours moving a lot of my pics to photobucket. I was paying for 25Gb of space and […]

can’t be proud

14 July 2009

50 years of communism had impregnated deep in the conscience of Romanians. For example, bragging is not something we like. I cannot say on my blog I am doing well, because people will take that as an insult. What do you mean you are doing well? That is outrageous! I am not doing well! You […]

back home

1 June 2009

Sort of. After a short vacation in Venice, i am in Oradea, preparing for TIFF (Transylvania International Film Festival). Romania hasn’t change much, but i like Transylvania better than Muntenia, people are more relaxed and a few hundred years of Austrian occupation shows.

Vado HD is a really great camera

4 April 2009

So, i bought a Creative Vado HD camcorder a few days ago. I wasn’t expecting much, because I paid for it under 200€. But the thing is great. Very light, shoots 2 hours of 720p video footage, charges from USB. Yes, the Sony TG3 i initially wanted had more features (stabilizer, 1080p, changeable storage, face […]

Becoming a consultant

1 April 2009

I am thinking about becoming a consultant. You know, someone who tells people what they should do. You get up, you analyze something for somebody, you give them an input and then you go home. You don’t care what they do with what you said. You are just a consultant. You get paid. You don’t […]

Google’s dumbass copyright letters

28 January 2009

So, in order for me to fill a DMCA complaint, i must send an actual letter to Google. Of course, 99% of the people do not do that. And Google bets on it. So, blogger.com and youtube.com and picasa is filled with copyrighted material. And Google makes money on it.

responsibility for our kids

9 January 2009

I think the American higher education system is well-thought. With college taxes, i mean. You have two choices to achieve higher learning: either you are good and receive a scholarship, either your parents save some money. We are not equal. Some are born with chances, others have to fight for them. And, if your parents […]

About the embargo and the news

23 December 2008

There are 2 major problems with what Mr. Arrington is saying here. It sucks when the news gets out at the same time. 20 major blogs, the same news, nothing news. I like techcrunch for the news they bring, the news nobody else has. I don’t like the papers that are reporting the same news, […]
