Raz Doing His Thing

From the front lines of Iraq. Raz makes Lynndie England look like a peacenik sissy. The insurgents don’t stand a chance, when even their monkeys are unsafe. I challenge you to find an image that better illustrates current US foreign policy.

This one made my day!

Just a coincidence?

Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

Here is the screenshot showing how someone designed the walking paths around one church in Gdańsk-Żabianka (that’s a district of a city I live in). Is it just a coincidence or was it intentional?

Hapland 2

Friday, July 8th, 2005

Hapland 2 finished! Damn, it was hard. It took me countless efforts to figure out all of the quirks. And no, I did not cheat. I have spent countless hours on this game and it was well worth it! I said in my previous Hapland post, that it would probably take me about a month to finish Hapland 2. Actually it took me two and a half weeks, which is quite an accomplishment, I think, as the game is really hard (I know, I’m saying this all over again and again…). If you haven’t played it yet, you should definitely give it a try!

And now for the thing that came here for:

Although I still think that walkthroughs spoil all the fun! And believe me when I say that I had lots of it!

Rails 0.13 released

Wednesday, July 6th, 2005

Quoting David Heinemeier Hansson: with so much new stuff in there it’s not even funny. I suppose I just need to bang my head against the wall a few more times, first, to receive a little bit of motivation to finally finish the fourth day of Four Days on Rails and second, to receive a little bit of inspiration to develop a useful (at least for me, for a start) Rails application that has a little bit more of code apart from scaffold

Here’s the official announcement.

The shocking truth

Saturday, July 2nd, 2005

First, it was Daniel Auteuil in 36 Quai des Orfèvres. I’ve heard him cry and that alone was sufficient to be sure it was him. Then, after three or four words, I knew it was Morgan Freeman narrating the story in Million Dollar Baby. And that’s when I realized the shocking truth… I’m a movie addict! I watch way too many movies. I know way too many directors and actors. I spent way too much time on this. But what can I do? I simply love it.

Are there special clinics for people like me?

PS: I like watching movies not knowing much about them, apart from their IMDb rating, so I don’t watch trailers, nor read movie reviews, nor watch tv shows about movies. Putting it in another words – I don’t cheat. I just guess.
