today I helped a neighbour get and install wimax at his home
we waited about an hour and a half at verat.net offices since it was Saturday and only one worker was in the office dealing with customers
basically they ask you to sign a contract for up to 12 months of service at about 2300 RSD and about 1500 RSD for the wimax device
when I got to my neighbour with the device I installed Ubuntu Linux and everything worked out of the box
but only the test account has been enabled on the device with the rate limited to 5 kilobytes/second
after reading the manual, I put username/password and everything worked, he got his 2 megabits of downlink
I’m glad wimax has finally come here, we needed it since the government doesn’t want to invest into new wires, they just suck out the profit from existing telephone bills
it’s been long time since I wrote here
I just got my fruit brandy (rakija) certificate from agriculture faculty of Belgrade
it took me a couple months of lectures and then the final exam
I passed the exam with the grade 8 out of 10
now, I’m going to try to make rakija in practice, I had enough of theory
here’s a pic of me and my certificate
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
great speech, go and see it/hear it on the usual channels
do not miss it!
unfortunately Max Keiser was not in Novi Sad today and yesterday
from what I’ve heard he thought about coming bug gave up
there was no info on him not coming on his website or on cinema city website
the only thing I saw that was related to Max Keiser was a pc with a webpage of his project, Hollywood Stock Exchange http://www.hsx.com
I heard from a guy there that this website is about a fiat stock exchange (like the real stock exchange isn’t fiat, right
) related to movies and actors and that he has a lot of employees on the project, like 60
now I don’t know how he can afford that many employees with something that looks to me as a game but that’s what I’ve heard
anyway, I had a great time in Novi Sad with my friends but I wish Max was there… c’est la vie
we might be
if you feel humbled when seeing big name ads
if you feel stupid when reading unknown names which are btw created on purpose and mean really nothing!
if you read a big list of things that sound “cool” but don’t mean anything
business nowadays is done by making you not understand basic things so you feel humbled by the technology companies
from what I have understood, swine flu now transmits person to person
it looks to me as if the virus was manufactured in a lab and is very similar to 1918 virus in that it really affects the people with strong immune systems that die from their own body overreaction (cytokine storm)
I tried researching about how to suppress our own immune system but haven’t found things I can buy at a local drugstore
one sure way is to get sick from something other than swine flu
don’t do this to yourself, these are just my thoughts
it seems that about every 10th person that has the flu dies… I don’t know why USA swine flu is much easier on the people than the Mexican one
this worked for me, don’t try this yourself! don’t blame me for anything! stop reading and leave this website if you don’t agree with this…
I’ve had problems with hiatal hernia for about 2 years
now, it happened again, during Helicobacter Pylori eradication therapy
foolishly, I was drinking Pepsi and eating chocolate and I felt my stomach going into my chest and breathing problems started
hernia was mostly located on the right side, next to the chest bone and below the ribs but rarely it would flip to the left side and cause heart problems with breathing problems, only when it was on the left side breathing would become a bit more bearable
I’ve finished my eradication therapy, then went to the doctor who gave me acid blocator, a gut motility pill and a pill to stop gas formation but none of that helped, I still had problems
then I found a farmer that knows how to manipulate a hernia
the thing is, farmers, when working in the fields frequently have problems with the stomach
in my language it is called “struna” and the english word for that is probably a “string”
anyway, the principle is real simple
the process takes 3 days
first day, he tries to briefly massage the stomach down,
during this massage, stomach starts to tick, that is you can feel the pulse of some blood vessel
that pulse should be felt below the belly button but in my case it was some 4 to 5 centimeters up! something he never saw before
then he puts a warm (almost hot) beer bottle on the belly so that the stomach could slide a bit
next he puts a bread with matches on my stomach (bread is there to keep the matches in place), lights the matches and puts a pot over that
this creates a vacuum that sucks the stomach inside the pot and away from my chest
next he manipulates belly button so that he winds it, as if you would wind a screw (I guess it was right direction, not left) and he puts a small round thing (I’ll post a picture of it) that will hold that in place
next he puts a belt over the stomach to keep it in place and ties it really hard, so hard I’ve had problems with my bones/back
but all of that was bearable more that breathing/heart problems
day two and three differ only in that he puts the pot not on the stomach but on the belly button
during these 3 days, you have to lie down, eat normally (I ate a bit less because it was hard to eat with that thing around my waist) and you can’t raise your hands or it would mess things up
now, after that therapy I feel much, no breathing problems, but my stomach is not completely down and I have some heart problems
in a month I will repeat this again
here are the pictures
