Cane Corso / Rottweiler Mix Puppies

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008people more than 700 kilometers apart report seeing this meteor hit Canada
check out this video shot from the police vehicle
Belgrade Beer Fest 2008
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008or 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
Are you rich?
Friday, August 8th, 2008some people want the others to know that they are rich
really rich
they want it so much that they’ve spent 999.9 USD for a program that sits on IPhone home screen showing text “I am rich” and when activated it shows a picture of a glowing, large gem
and that’s all it does
eight people managed to buy this thing for 999.9 bucks before Apple took it down from their store
999.9 is the highest price anyone can ask for their software on Apple IPhone store
why did Apple take it down? I have no idea
hey, if there are “smart” people out there willing to pay 1000 bucks for this then let them
and Apple has its cut since it takes 30% from each purchase
would you pay this much to show to the other people that ur rich?
here’s the story
I Won Something
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008it’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…
Cat And The Tree
Monday, June 16th, 2008every hour or two my or my dad’s job is to help Mina (the cat) get off the tree, the house or similar
this is how it looks like
Some Old Pictures
Saturday, June 14th, 2008It’s been more than a year since I’ve transferred any of the files from my mobile phone to my computer and I finally did it
the reason is that my Toshiba laptop P200-14O has poor Bluetooth support under Linux
to enable it, I had to install the omnibook module and start it with something like modprobe omnibook ectype=12
now for the fun part, lets start with an old photo of myself that my friend made a looong time ago
here it is
and this is my cell phone Sony Ericsson K-700i (guess which one)
this is a game I used to play A LOT
it’s called Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
I used to panzer the sh*t out of people
ah, the good days 
here are some cool pictures of the hills of Soko Banja where I spent some good time last year
I was fascinated with this small object in the middle of the forest and I didn’t know at the time what it was
later I found out it was a small orthodox church people built probably on the site where the Turks killed some local people
then I saw a larger group of objects below it and I knew they were a restaurant/kind of hotel that I knew from before
here’s a view of Soko Banja from those hills
and then there is Soko Grad, an ex Turkish fortress, now a tourist site
and a look at the hills around the fortress
and finally something I laughed a lot about 
this guy made a bull bar for his yugo car
Novi Sad Meeting
Friday, June 6th, 2008I met with some Linux friends at Novi Sad
there were people from all over Serbia there.
we had a chat about OpenOffice (that was rather boooring for me) and then we went to have some lunch.
after that we relaxed in a cafe
I traveled with two guys in an old Volvo from Belgrade
Here are the pics
Mina, The Cat
Thursday, May 29th, 2008I got today a female cat that I named Mina (note the similarity, Mire & Mina)
in English it’s probably written as Meena (pronounced Mi:na)
I got the cat from a girl that placed a post on a forum website about someone who put a basket with 4 kittens in her back yard
Mina is great, good personality, quiet, she doesn’t make too much sounds, likes to enjoy herself
I gave her some fish, some milk and some cat food
she doesn’t eat much
I placed some old newspapers so she can do her thing there but I guess I should find some sand and put it in a box
I plan to keep her outside (since I have a back yard) and let her in my root from time to time
she likes Tony (my dog)
actually Tony grew up with a cat sleeping on his belly all the time
oh yeah, here’s Mina
C++ Hibernate Daemon
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008I use Fluxbox window manager on Ubuntu Linux where I don’t have all the bells and whistles of GNOME or KDE.
so I thought I’d make myself a daemon program that will automatically put my computer to hibernate when my laptop battery is almost empty
usually I take care that my battery doesn’t get to the red zone but this is for those few cases I forget
I wrote this small programm in C++
why c++
well because I don’t programm in c++ and I found it interesting to do so
main.cpp looks like this
so, you see the locations of the info and state file for the laptop battery, the percent at which we go to hibernation (I’ve set it to 12%), and the sleep interval before checking the battery state again (10 seconds)
I use my own hibernate script but you could use something like /usr/sbin/hibernate
you can change all of these
in the main function you can se that:
- we work only as a root user
- we daemonize (detach from the terminal and run in background)
- instantiate a worker class object
- and do our work
and what is our work? check out this picture
well we get the battery total capacity and current capacity and then we calculate the percent
if the percent is less that what I want (12%) then I want my laptop to go to hibernaton
but I also made a security check (that you can remove if you like)
that makes sure my laptop doesn’t go twice into hibernation in succession
why did I do that?
well because I parse data from some files I have no influence over
and those files can change their format anytime
so this is just a precaution
I have a simple makefile that compiles this code, copies it to /usr/local/bin/medved (medved in my language means a bear and bears hibernate ) and adds an entry to /etc/rc.local so that it starts next time you reboot your box automatically
you can also start it by hand and see how it works before the reboot
and that’s it, now I have a daemon that puts my laptop to hibernation before my battery runs dry
I’ve published the source code under GPL licence version 3
you can get source code here
