Cure For Homerism

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

is there cure for homerism?

I watch and enjoy basketball for a long time

and I always stick for the underdog, especially if he’s my countryman (patriotic) and if he’s maybe right

well I’ve been sticking for Darko Milicic for a long time

but I finally understood that they have a life of their own… yeah, it took me quite a while

but some other people are so blind…

this is the same kind of games as who has better internet connection, who’s dick is the biggest, who had the biggest orgasm, who’s national team beat the crap out of another national team or who’s daddy is the strongest (mine is in case there is any confusion ;) )

well that all is really childish but so are people

and this childish competition makes money

just ask NBA

and other sport associations

and while people measure their ego by watching World Wrestiling Stupidism, dog fights and similar crap some people are counting cash these events bring and selling us “We do care about our community” game

So I ask just one thing… be smart… stop the ego games… do something good for yourself and people around you

even if the people around you don’t appreciate it

you’ll feel better

and be smart!

Exit Festival, Novi Sad 2008

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

oh man… where do I start

pics first


we got some really cheap tickets (read it as FREE passes :) ) for Friday and since we’ve never been to Exit festival in Novi Sad we (my friend and I) decided to try it out

and it was a disappointment

the most notable performers for the night were Rony Size on the Main stage and Laurent Garnier on the Dance stage

Rony had a good sound system, great visual effects and good rhythm but I couldn’t understand a word he or his singer sang.
his singer was a bit more understandable though and the lyrics were not something I’d sing if I knew them
I like Kosheen more :)

Laurent Garnier had a problem with the bass on his sound system, you heard a crack instead of veeery deep bass.
and he ran some boring techno, a bit more dancey but still boring.

the other stages very mostly techno, at least in that part of Petrovaradin fortress where we hanged out

actually, the best part of the night was us hanging out in a small bar with some interesting girls from Bristol

I didn’t know Serbia had that many inhabitants as the number of people that were at the festival ;)
the weather was great, there wasn’t any rain like few years ago, but it was pretty dusty, crowdy and without a decent number of places where to sit and rest

food was overpriced by at least 100% and I thought the Tuborg beer was good while my friend actually didn’t like it (more for me, hehe)

I drove back home completely sober (hehe) with a big hangover and my heart beating at sync with the techno tunes we’ve listened to

Firebug In Firefox 3 Ubuntu

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

with the new Ubuntu came Firefox beta 3, then the Firefox final 3 but Firebug just didn’t work

FYI Firebug is a great web development add on for Firefox

now after like a month or two ;) I found a way to make it working

just remove the Firebug extension if you have it that does not work

and then install Firebug from the packages

I used the command line

aptitude install firebug

have fun :)

I Won Something

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

it’s really hot these days and sometimes I go out and buy an ice cream

well I’ve been buying quite a few ice creams this past few months

here, there are two major ice cream corporations, Delta and Frikom

and actually buying an ice cream can potentially get you a prize

finally I won something

in my coupon it said “Mobile Phone Jewelry”

hmmm

it must be something silly… wtf is “Mobile Phone Jewelry”??

but since I won it and hey, it’s free I called them to arrange delivery

well the lady at the other end insisted to have my personal ID number

and I was not comfortable giving it to her so I passed on the prize

I gave it to a friend that wanted the coupon

the problem these days is that many people want to have your personal details

the more details they have on you the better they will use it to sell you something or maybe worse

that lady didn’t need my personal ID number

she needed just the coupon number

but she insisted to get it ;)

and they like to send their gifts via snail mail

which means they could also have my home address

why am I so hard on my privacy?

well because everyone is violating it

we’re getting biometric passports, biometric personal id cards, biometric drivers licences

that’s too much

I don’t want a biometric anything…
