Geeky Humour - Abort, Retry, Ignore

Posted in Various by Nightwind @ Nov 13, 2008

(I do not know who wrote it originally, since it wasn’t me, but must be a crazed genius, giving praise to Edgar Alan Poe’s “Raven”)

Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bed sheets, still I sat there doing spreadsheets.
Having reached the bottom line I took a floppy from the drawer,
I then invoked the SAVE command and waited for the disk to store,
Only this and nothing more.

We won’t get fooled again!!

Posted in Various by Nightwind @ Nov 11, 2008

The TV series CSI has made a theme of using songs of the world-famous band “The Who” as their intro songs. “Las Vegas” has “Who are you” of the same-name album, “New York” has “Baba O’Riley” (only God knows what this song has to do with the subject of the movie) while “Miami” has “We won’t get fooled again” (rather ironic since Horatio Caine never gets fooled, not even when he loses, which is also very rare).

Elections in US have come and gone. Today the people of the US have chosen to repair the damage done by Bush and his cronies.

I’ve threaded this subject quite a few times on my blog and I’m going to do it yet again, but this time not about the US elections (those are already done and done, all we can do now is light a candle so that the Constitutional Court won’t come to play). Instead, I’m going to pick on the Romanian parliamentary elections. (more…)

They are back

Posted in Movies by Nightwind @ Oct 27, 2008

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, they are back!! You wonder who ‘they’ are? Well, can’t blame you since I guess that in my outmost excitement not only have I forgot to write this article on time but also forgot to mention this particular detail. (more…)

Politics, crisis or why McCain lost

Posted in News by Nightwind @ Oct 16, 2008

Yesterday, the last debate between the main candidates for the presidency of the world’s greatest military power took place in the state of New York and the two have confronted each other for the last time before things are turned over the voters for a real decision.

Energy!

Posted in Various by Nightwind @ Oct 14, 2008

Energy drinks have long become a regular part of many people’s lives. I myself enjoy a few in some more demanding workdays or when I have trouble getting up to speed in the morning. However, it’s human nature to question something that seems to have too much of a good effect since we’re all used even to side-effects of regular medicine. As a wise man once said, there is nothing in this world that’s purely good or purely bad, even doctor-prescribed medicine. (more…)

Dire Straits - On Every Street

Posted in Lyrics by Nightwind @ Oct 3, 2008

There’s gotta be a record of you some place
You gotta be on somebody’s books
The lowdown - a picture of your face
