the school is held at the Institute Of Physics, Belgrade for the month of July, two times a week
today, Uros Nedic, the guy doing the lecture, arrived a bit late but I managed to find a beautiful park behind the institute with a great view of the Danube river
I had a nice time today
we were learning about Sun OS processes, threads, LWM, kthreads, DTrace, Zones and ZFS
Uros was great while teaching us/giving a lecture, answered all of our questions
I learned a lot
now, here are some pictures I took with my mobile phone, sorry for the bad quality
people more than 700 kilometers apart report seeing this meteor hit Canada
check out this video shot from the police vehicle
or in Serbian, “Beogradski festival piva”
yet another beer fest
and I’m as always regular at beer fests…
this year was so like other years
Guinness beer is once again served warm (ewww smiley here)
best beer is Paulaner weisbier (white beer)
beer prices are really high, much higher than at the stores which is kind of strange since this is a beer fest, prices should be lower
music is rather booring but I guess people don’t really listen to the music when they’re high on alcohol or other
Kiril Dzajkovski was here tonight and he was great (look him up at youtube.com)
he really has 3 big hits (drum and bass music) and the other tunes are high energy and very listenable but not something you’ll remember in a few years time
actually his hits are songs I used to listen a couple of years ago
I see he’s been combining etno music from the Balcans with high energy tunes and it sounds cool
the best part was a little black girl that did some rap music and then combined with Kiril in one of his songs…
I couldn’t really understand the lyrics she was singing but she was great
Cedric Gervais was booring as was Timo Maas
you’ll find clips at youtube, I couldn’t be bothered to make my own
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

Soon, we’ll be greeted with 11 ton of ex spy satellite material on our heads… potentially.
That thing is going to land somewhere.
The satellite is as large as a school bus, has been powered off and is going to fall.
Some people think about shooting the falling satellite with a missile, but some argue that.
Read more about it here.
