Becks. Berea Becks

Va aduceti aminte de reclama de la Becks? Cum care? aia cu Heliul! [YouTube video] : “Am putea sa punem orice in bere, dar preferam sa pastram berea as it is de o suta zece mii de ani ca noi suntem aia care respectam reteta si suntem cei mai cool… (Niciodata nu mi-a placut Becks, si daca toata lumea scrie despre Stejar VS. Bergenbier, eu ma iau de astialalti…)

Anyway, aseara in Le General, vad o sticla e bar, la “display”, galbena… nuuuu sticla era alba, continutul era galben. Un galben din ala urina[Galbenul urina este din aceeasi serie cu Verde brotacel sau visiniu piersicuta…] Prima reactie a fost “Ce-i cu ceaiu’ asta?!” aaah, Becks nou? mda… Becks Green Lemon… Becks cu “un strop de lamuie lămâie…” Sounds like Pepsi doesn’t it? Si daca e GREEN LEMON, de ce e galbena?

Deci unde is ingredientele simple? Apa, hamei, malt si alte cele? Nu au mai ajuns? Va dati si voi dupa Redds? [care by the way, e extra extra weird… Aproape aduce a Salitos, dar mai are mult pana acolo…]

Luat sticla la inspectie, si mic mic mic mic mic mic de tot (din seria: ce-i mai mica si mai mica decat putZa de furnica? ) descoperim cantitatea de alcool: 2.5%… Deci cine vrea un ceai?!

[ Mami! mami! Ce e aia? O rosie puiule. SI de ce e galbena? Pentu ca e verde… ] Sa inteleg ca nu e coapta inca? Dupa ce se coace, ii creste si alcoolemia?

PS: inca nu am avut tupeu sa o incerc, si plec din cluj peste weekend. Daca o incercati voi, spuneti-mi daca merita..

Oua de blogger 2008

Anul trecut Oradeanu’ a initiat un proiect cu ouale bloggerilor. Ouale de pasti, nu va ganditi la prostii!

Am postat si atunci o poza cu ouale facute de sora mea Nicoleta (astea de aici), si acum, pastram traditia, si le punem si pe alea de 2008.

Sunt frumoase, si creditul merge mamei mele.

PS: Scuzati calitatea, dar eu cum sunt un tampit, evident ca mi-am lasat aparatul la Cluj si pozele sunt facute cu camera de la BlackBerry. Va rog sa laudati oule… DA???

xkcd said it better…

I have a good job, not looking for anything else, but about 3 weeks ago I get a nice introductory mail from a Google Inc. HR representative, telling me that they want my CV and they want to contact me. FFS! it’s GOOGLE! of course I brushed up my CV, and sent it to them.

One week later, I had a telephone interview (I was scared like shit) with their HR department, a very sweet lady talked to me, everything was cool, and pinkish and so on. After the interview finished, she told me it went quite well (I asked!!), she will send the results to the next level, and they will contact me in the following two weeks.

Well, if you read the comic above, you will understand they didn’t have an opening for a person with my skills, but they will keep my CV in their database. Standard text, politically correct.

Talking to my boss about it, he was quite shocked that I was willing to leave Romania, and my family just to relocate for a big corporation, but (and I repeat): FFS! It’s GOOGLE! Nevermind now, they don’t need me, and I can stick the proverbial carrot out of my ass.

So that’s about it…

PS: Of course I’m pissed! but it was too good to be true…

Linux Beginners

For those of you who have basic Linux knowledge, and when I say basic, I mean login, create a directory, list the files etc, that kind of basic, I stumbled upon today a nice tutorial which could take you a few steps further if you are willing to read through it (and you should).

It is actually a shell scripting tutorial, with some power tools like awk or sed and taking a quick glance at it, it looked like it would be worth reading.

Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial v1.05r3 – A Beginner’s handbook

Reclame. Reclame bune!

Auzeam zilele trecute pe cineva vorbind despre reclamele romanesti, si cat de penibile pot sa fie comparativ cu cele din afara. Reclama de laromtelecom sau posta romana,(pe care inca nu am vazut-o, dar urmeaza sa dau un search) ar trebui a fie “brici” si ca arata evolutia postei romane, si prin cate a trecut bla bla (dar pana la sfarsitul spotului tot nu stii daca a ajuns scrisoarea sau nu). Drept urmare “Sigur nu a fost facuta la noi…

Apoi am citit la Cabral ca isi pune mainile in cap cand vede ce scot “conationalii nostrii creativi” comparativ cu cei de afara.

Stau si ma uit la dementul de Darius care face o gramada de chestii mai mult sau mai putin geniale, si oricat as vrea sa fiu rau cu el, sa ii raspund cu aceeasi moneda la stilul acru si acid cu care trateaza lumea, din cand in cand ma trezesc ca “ma inclin” in fata la ceea ce face, si evident ca nu ma sfiiesc sa i-o spun in fata. Si cand e bou, si cand scoate chestii GENIALE. Scris cu bold, caps lock, si fara miros de pupincurism ca nu am nimic de castigat.

Ideea e ca sunt convins ca sunt si altii ca el, care au creativitatea necesara, care pot sa faca altceva decat clasicele crapuri numite reclame. Si pentru asta, va recomand panorama romaneasca de la Noaptea Devoratorilor de Publicitate. Stati mai oameni buni, ca avem si noi chestiile noastre bune, avem si noi creativitate, doar ca numarul celor “slabe” e mult mai mare. Pe de alta parte, din afara cele mai multe care intra, sunt cele bune. Cele slabe nu o sa fie promovate foarte mult nici de clientii pentru care au fost facute nici de “mase” prin intermediul YouTube sau Google video sau stiu eu ce alt serviciu de genul.

In incheiere, va invit sa vedeti o scurta reclama la gmail, serviciu al carui utilizator sunt de muuuuulta vreme:

3:3 poarta in casa

Incepem saptamana cu o leapsa de la Ania

Cate 3 chestii:

3 filme care mi-au placut… Man on fire, Les Choristes, Enchanted.

Stiu ca la partea cu Enchanted, o sa radeti bine, dar l-am vazut aseara, am rezistat primele 10 minute sa nu ma ridic de pe scaun si sa ies din cinema, dar pana la urma mi-am dat seama ca m-a binedispus mai tare decat faza cu carligul de la Polus. (O sa adaug link dupa ce scriu despre faza aia)

3 mancaruri preferate…Plescavica din Timisoara din complex, Ciorba de burta (facuta bine!), salata de vinete.

3 carti preferate…(pfua!) aici e destul de greu, cam orice scris de Asimov, Zelazny, Tolkien, F. Herbert etc…

Eu is cu SeFe’urile…

3 locuri in care mi-ar placea sa fiu in momentul asta…in pat, la Vladeasa, in Ohio

3 locuri in care am… locuit…Dej, Cluj-Napoca si cam atat… 🙂

3 emisiuni la care ma uit…No TV for me.

3 site-uri pe care pierd vremea… sf.net, slashdot.org, freshmeat.net

3 oameni care iau leapsa de la mine… Lorand R Minyo, Andrei Crivat, Licurici.

Nudismul, sau dezbracatul in public

Lorand R. Minyo mi-a transmis o leapsa destul de personala, pe care nu prea am cum sa o refuz, ca mi-am cerut-o cu lumanarea. Sa ii spunem exercitiu de curaj.

La fel cum zice si el, mai jos au sa apara chestiuni personale, indecente, x-rated sau oricum altfel vreti voi sa le spuneti. Nu o sa va trimit pe disney.com ca stiu ca nu o sa mergeti, si o sa incepeti sa cititi cu interes ce scrie mai jos.  Dar, aduceti-va aminte: daca cititi, o faceti pe propria raspundere, si nu puteti folosi nimic de mai jos impotriva mea!

Explicatie scurta, ulterior adaugata:

Corina: si dupa ce se face leapsa aia?
Corina: care-i regula?
Corina: scrii 100 si ceva de chestii … jenante more or less despre tine ?
.marius: nu
.marius: se ia lista respectiva,
.marius: si se boldeaza chestiile care le-ai facut.
.marius: si is 200 fix…
