Hosting
I get some web hosting from GoDaddy a few days ago. It is really great. I install Drupal and is grate. I am really thinking to move my blog to there. But for now I don't have a suitable domain. But that is not really a problem. The only think is that I really don't want to lose this blog. I really blogger. So probably I will just start another there and I will make a link from here or something like that.

Labels
I anted to write about something else but first I wanted to find a older post regarding what I wanted to write about and ... I realize that is a complete mess. In my blog. So I decided to label the posts, and at the time I was done, I forgot about what I wanted to write so I have decided to write about my labels. Blogger really did a god job with the labels. It make life more easy. Now I can find my post a lot easier and also put some order in the blog. So from now on I will label my posts, and I recommend you do the same.

Bloglogin about blogger.
I had a different name in the URL because I started this blog when I was intending to quit smoking. So that's why I had a different name in the URL. Initially I didn't want to become a blogger addicted but, it happened regardless of my intention. So even I didn't quit smoking, unfortunately, I kept my blog. And because it was my first blog I am not intending change it. For some reasons. One of the is that Google index it already.
Anyway I was thinking to buy a separate hosting for my blog, but I don't know if is such a god idea, because I really like blogger interface a lot, is a lot more nice that the Word Press. Also I remember that you complained that there's no way to export the data from blogger. Yes there is some ways to do it, at least for the new blogger.
The clean way to do it is to go to "Chang the publisher". For this you go to Settings->Publishing and check what is displayed.
If is saying something about classic template then you have to revert to the Classic Template, for this you go to Template-> Edit HTML -> Revert to Classic Template. After that should look like this:
You complete your Blog URL with the address of your new domain. This don't really need to be the same as ftp server. For example if you intend your new blog to has the adders www.myblog.com (assuming that you already have the domain) you put that address.
The rest you complete like this:
FTP Path: /oldblog/
Blog Filename: mainpage.html
Feed Filename: oldblog.xml
FTP Username: YourUsername
FTP Password: YourPassword
Chick on publish and on the FTP you will have a directory named "oldblog" in which is all your old blog , and the the main page is called mainpage.html
BTW: For the people that want to try and don't have a hosting yet, they can setup a FTP server at home and give instead of the FTP server adders your IP address after you started the FTP server software (I recommend Fillezilla for this. Also you have to create an account for blogger and set a password. The Blog URL means where the blog will be hosted, and if is wrong the links will be broken.( Evey link from your blog that point to you blog, e.g: the ones in blog archive, will point to that URL plus the name of the post and )
This way blogger will export your blog to your computer.

Blog title changed
I get a comment from somebody that it really likes my blog title because is really geek alike. And I finally realize that this was the problem, the title. That's nobody like my blog, not nobody but just a few that really know what's about i have to change it.
So for the people that wondering, my old title was
In Unix/Linux operating systems the devices are sown in the file system like a files. For example the first disk of the computer is /dev/hda, the second is /dev/hdb and so on, even simpler the mouse device is a file named "mouse" in the directory "dev". Second thing is that the "cat" command is reading from a file and is printing on the standard output ( the console on the monitor by default) but the output can be redirecting in to another file by putting the ">" character after it and specifying the file. So the title mean something like "read from my mind device and print everything to my blog device" i had considered that will be really funny. But seems that nobody understood it. So I have to change my title to something more readable.
Thanks LDF for the comment and for making realize.

The Chinese story
So when I looked at my stats and see that I have so many visitors from China that are really messing out my stats ( They enter for just 2 seconds and see that is in English and leave) So they really messing out my statistics and I am unable to know if my visitors are liking my blog because of them. So I decided to make a blog especially for them and tell about my friend that is so happy that join their community. (I have waited it in English and after that translated ). And I have put the links on top of all my blogs.
By the way: Sorry for my bad English but I am from a non English spiking country. And all my English teachers ware extremely horrible teachers. So all my English I have learn is just from Cartoon Network. So please don't forgive me. I am doing the best I can.
And if I opened the subject about Cartoon Network: What the hell is the thing with all the European country that are translating(doubling) all the TV channels. I really don't understand the idea. Even the music is translated. Just stupid. Have you been lately to Germany ? Seems that even BBC (Yes British Broadcasting Corporation/Channel ) is translated in German. And you wandering why nobody there understand English. I had been recently in Russia and seems that they know more English and are spiking more clearly in English that any of the European country's. (On the main land I mean).
I hope they will put an stop to this. Just subtitle(Write under) but pleas don't change the sound channels I any ways. If the sound is in a certain language... just leave it like that. It sound a lot better in the original language. Also the actors look like fishes due to the synchronizations of the sound with image.

I can't belive !!!!
I had a look at my statistics and I can't believe it seems that about 80 percent of my visitors are still using Microsoft Internet Explorer. I can't understand why. So look at this movie below but please do not try it for yourself if you are using Internet Explorer. I have test it with Firefox and I didn't had any kind of problems , I guess that also with Safari browser should be OK.
If you want to know more about it just go to Avira Virus Descriptions and look how many viruses are targeting Internet Explore
Even more ... MS Internet Exploder has a lot of missing features like no plug in support. No tabbed browsing. No RSS reader. No XML support. No password manager to store the passwords. No quick search. Nothing !!!!!

New toy
My friend get an account at VPSLinks so I had to have one.
VPS stand for Virtual Private Server and it mens that you get a "slice" of a computer from somewhere in internet. The advantage over the normal web hosting is that you have full access to install whatever software you wish but you have to configure yourself.
So I had a look and I found something interesting
- HDD: 2GB
- Bandwidth: 100GB
- Ram: 64MB
- Price: $7.95/month
The first thing I had tried was to make a swap file....surprise.... seem that is not possible. So I had to limit to the 64 MB of ram.
So let's heck the memory
myhost:~# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3756488 3716804 39684 0 130120 1945208
-/+ buffers/cache: 1641476 2115012
Swap: 8193108 437732 7755376
But this is not the real memory avail so I made a little script to show my memory:
#!/bin/bash
bean=`cat /proc/user_beancounters`
guar=`echo "$bean" | grep vmguar | awk '{ print $4;}'`
priv=`echo "$bean" | grep privvm | awk '{ print $2;}'`
let totl=guar/256
let used=priv/256
let free=$totl-$used
echo "VPS Memory:"
echo " total: $totl mb used: $used mb free: $free mb"
So it looks like this now.
myhost:~# /bin/Free
VPS Memory:
total: 58 mb used: 35 mb free: 23 mb
But for this I had to:
- Replace the OpenSSH daemon with dropbear because OpenSSH use about 20 MB of RAM.
- Use lighttpd instead of apache
- Limit mysql memory to 1MB instead of 16M for buffer.
myhost:~# apt-get install apache
...[snip]...
Setting up apache (1.3.34-4) ...
open2: fork failed: Cannot allocate memory at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm line 58
So I started wondering if this is normal on a computer with 64 MB of RAM. So I fire up VMWare on my computer and I installed the same Debian in a virtual machine exactly as the one from VPSLink... and surprise,surprise it worked just fine with the same software running in the same conditions and same configurations. (also no swap space) So seems that the software the use is not so smart and have some serious problems.
Also something ugly that I had notice is that if I disconnect from the server and I leave the web server running after a few hours the first attempt to connect to the web server to check my page is fails and seems and i have to try at least 3-4 times before it starting working. And also seems that is comporting like is under heavy load but as soon as I start pushing it a bit is getting back to normal. So I guess it go to some kind of standby (lo priority)
So I am really not happy with it and now seems that my friend that mad fun of me that I am a cheap bastard because I get the cheapest one for only one month. But now he is regretting because he get the one with $14.95/mo for six month (total $82.26 because of the discount). So I have deciding to also get an account to SliceHost next month and see how it is. (I can use swap there )
I am back.
Yap. I am back after a long absence (I think about a month) . But I had my reasons to not write on my blog. Seems that is a guy that had funny idea to start the work in January. And because of him a lot of peoples had to work extra hours, including me (Don't ask !) Yap I had a lot of work and and I was to tired to open my computer at home. But that stuff is over and I am going post from now one.
Oh. By the way for the peoples that wonder what was with the test post I have to explain. Right now I want to make a RSS reader or something like that I don't know exactly what will be at the end but for now I will be happy if it will be able to read RSS feds and maybe in the future I will make something that will be able to post on blogger.com.
I understood that the plug in to post from Word is no longer supported with the new blogger so maybe if I will have time....

I whant a portia spider.
This is not a joke. If someone is willing to send me one I will be very happy. If someone is willing to help me, pleas leave me a message and I will tell you where to send it and also the money for the transport and packaging, and a fee for your trouble.
Also I promise to take god care of it and feed him well so it will live an long an happy life. It will be even better if you can send me a pair of them it will be even better, because the life alone is not very happy. I know it from my own experience.
Spaming.
Seems that in the last time the internet is only about money and page rank. Nobody what's to put god content. Look at all the blogs that has only one post and full of advertising. If we continue like that the internet will become just advertising and no content. I really hate it, some time ago when I was searching for some interesting stuff, I would find it without evicting all kind of tricky popup and banners. Now the interesting stuff is in a tiny coroner of the page and the rest is filled with lots of *****.
I checked my email this morning. I had 237 email, just 3 email have been useful. 17 of them come from discussion list and 21 ware automatically generated rapports. So in the last 5 days I get 196 spam emails. I don't know from where they get my email, I didn't register to dubious site with it. The only place where is publish is on a PGP server, but how dumb a seamer can be, he didn't understand that someone that know what is a PGP key is , it is also able to make the difference between a spam email and a useful one.
I get a lot of Viagra advertising emails, but the funniest of all are the phishing email with the
"Your paypal account has been disabled ... please submit us your password" kind of stuff.
Is not really like that but is almost like that. The idea behind it is that they send a bunch of emails that try to fool the persons that something happened with their accounts and they have to log in to fix the problem. They always put a false to the login form but if you are look closer you will notice that it really redirect you tho a false site that just look like the original and prompt you for your user name and password. So take care. No serious site will send you that kind of emails. So if you don't really know what if that is a phishing emails instead of hurry up to give your password or bank account just think a bit. And if you still think that is the smallest chance to be true call the support or send them an email and ask them about it. Don't use the email address, phone or link from that email, look it up in the phone book on a older email that you see that is genuine. Usually all the sites that request you to sign up will send you a welcome message with all the details you need including the support email address, and sometimes the phone number, use teat one. In case this is not possible open a new browser windows manually and type the correct address and login from there.

Misconceptions.
So here in
To wait until the next morning didn’t sound very appealing to me, I really wanted a room. So I look at the reservation and I find a phone number. I call the number and voice with Hungarian accent answer me. I explain the situation and she tell me to don’t worry it will com in a few minutes to bring me the key. In a few minutes a nice women show up and give me the key for the room and fill up the necessary papers. She didn’t seem to upset that she had to come from the home at 23 hundred hour for me.
I turn on the TV and notice that most of the channels are in Hungarian, and just a few are in Romanian. Discovery channel was doubled in Hungarian so the TV was no use to me. I prefer the English version. I really hate the thing with translating stuff. I had grown with Cartoon Network in English and I learn English from there. (That why I have Scooby-Doo accent) Now unfortunately is translated and I really hate it. You can’t imagine how terrifying sounds Scooby-Doo in Romanian. It really scares the children’s.)
So I finally realize that they are not so thick skins like I thought and there demands are extremely reasonable.
Do you remember the two girls I spoken about; there was tourist like but they ware much worse than any of the Hungarian I meat there. One of them was manager of a big textile company and extremely bumptious, like was the Queen of England. She even refuses to dance with me at the New Year Eve party. (Nobody invite her except
Also the waiters ware extremely nice compared with the ones from
ATV ride.
And now some advice how to ride the quad. First I have to explain the controls. The handle bar for searing must be hold really tight. The throttle is not like a motorcycle. The motorcycle throttle is contained in the right-hand grip on the handlebars and twisting the grip towards you increases the speed.The ATV has a thumb throttle that you have to push it forward to accelerate. There are two brakes in the right and left of the handlebar for the front wheels. On low speeds it can help searing pushing only one brake. At high speeds pushing only one brake and will help you make circles. (Spin around in place) The third foot brake is for the rear wheels. I recommend using that one for slowing down. Be very gentile with the brakes because otherwise you will drift. Always keep some distance to the one in front of you, otherwise you will not see anything because of the dust or snow. Also sometimes the rear wheels can trow rocks and dried wood. Don't try to be brave, heroes die young. Always use the safety equipment and the gloves are mandatory even in summer, otherwise your hand will freeze in the matter of minutes.
Happy new year.
I had some fun this vacation. I was riding an ATV (quad) and is was so cool. I will tell you more about this latter.
@Lizze: I add you a direct link in the link list. And when after I finish posting to my blogs I will take a look at how you spend NYE.

Thank you
Thank you guys for commenting on by blog. I starting to loss hope that is somebody out there reading my blog. I feeling much better now, that I have some comments. My work colleague told me that it has a lot of comments and visitors and I had none.
After Lizze give me a comment seems that I had a lot of visitors,the comment seems that bring me luck. Also I fallowed the profile and I found a really nice blog. Unfortunately today U really hadn't have any time to read it all but is very nice.
By the why: It was a joke with the thing that I am going to sue Blogger. Thank you Blogger that you exit. And don't worry ... I am not going to sue you. :)
I can't take it anymore.
I am relay wandering if should I sue Blogger because they give ma a new addiction ? I read the term of service and is no where mentioned the blogging create addiction. So I need a god lawyer for this.
Blogger take care !! I am going after you.
P.S: Sue Blogger for creating addictions is a patented idea so nobody is allowed to do that except me. Kid's don't do this at home.

Just brilliant.
I will marry the first girl that understand the following presentation:(very technical stuff only for geeks)
Long time ago when I owned a 286 computer I had a lot of study about computer architectures. When I have seen this video old memory's was binged back to life. Is just brilliant. I dreamed that some day my hours of study and my technical knowledge about computer architecture will become useful. I was so proud watching this video that I am one of the few people's that rely know what he is talking about. It knows how a PC boots up and about the memory warp around.
So I am serious about marrying the first girl that understand this presentation and has the same filings as me. I don't care how she looks, I don't care how old she is , I don't care anything except that she is able to understand this presentation.
Updated: Seems that nobody want to be my wife... probably this year I am not going to update anything because I will be in vacation. So take your time and watch the movie. If somebody has questions, feel free to ask me. I will explain everything you wish.
Santa didn't come.
Seem that Santa completely forgot about me. Maybe I was a bad boy this year , even I don't think so. I had expected to meet the girl of my dream in the last few days but nothing had happened. Like the usually I am a disappointed. The only girl that called me in the last few days was a old friend of mine, that is nice girl but she has a boyfriend o I assumed is not my gift from Santa. Unfortunately seems that I don't have any friends left. I intend to go out to pick up some girl in a bar but I can't do it alone, and the only friend I had left is engaged and will not want to go with me in a bar for that purpose. So the only alternative I have is to find somebody HERE !.
There is no any lonely girl around here that is searching for a grate guy, like me, to love her ?
Am I the only person around here searching for love ?
P.S: I know this post seems more desperate that is relay is. But sincerely I don't really care about that. Is just what is in my mind for now and I think is just what blogs are all about. Tell the world how you feel and what are you opinions.

For Santa
Dear Santa,
I was a god guy this year and I think I deserve my presents. So I wish for a nice girl that love me and worth loving her. I don't want the a beautifully girl, but I want her
smart and funny.
Spooky. A girl just contacted me on ICQ. I don't know her, and seems spooky. I know that the ICQ is so stupid that is displaying the profiles on the net. But I can't imagine anybody searching on profile list. And that number I give-it only to some serious business partners, and nobody els know it.
Oh. Se told me that she is only 14 year old. I have to say that is true that I like relay young girls. But not that young. @Santa: It is to illegal, try something older please, a 16 year old girl will be better.
Lazy
I am still to lazy to explain what happened. Maybe I will explain latter. Or maybe not. anyway is just before the Xmas and nobody is in the mood to work. I blogged all day long searching for something interesting.
Merry Christmas
Today in the office was the Christmas spirit , so no one was working. I will try to quit smoking again tomorrow.
My firend
One of my friends get upset on me for now reasons and now runs away every time I enter the room. What the hell did I do? I will try to convince him to help me with some technical stuff , this will make him happy for sure.It relay likes to help. And be asked complicated questions.It make him think I need this help.

No friends
All my friends abandoned me and I am filling so lonely. I am extremely disappointed of everything in my life and of everybody. I am in the verge of collapse. So today I will gonna go to sleep extremely early. Also I am a little depress because I didn't manage to fix my car but this is not a big issue now.
I am so tierd.
In the last few days I was feeling so tired. This is probably from the unhealthy diet, to much Coca-Cola and smoking. Anyway the idea is that I am filling horrible and I am not able to post more then a few lines per day. In the last time I didn't manage to do anything useful. Probably I have to take a break and rest.

Standards
I been to a service and they told me that they can't order the v-belt I need because is to cheep.So i decided to change it myself in the parking lot.
I manage to convince my mother to go and buy a v-belt because when I will finish work all the stores will be closed.The spooky thing is that i find the belt in the part catalog and has the specification 9.5X643MM but the one from the reseller that has the same part number but a different size 9.5X650MM. How the hell the same part can has different specifications ? I was thinking that the part number is created specially to avoid this.
I will tell you tomorrow how was working.

What a fine day for science
Today when i enter the office one college of mine told me "What a fine day for science", you know, the line from Dexter Laboratory cartoons. Is not relay a fine day for science for me. My car broke down. The belt between the engine and the water pump broke. Good that this was happened a few meters from the parking lot.
I had notice something wrong because the light the alternator turn on. But I was suspecting that maybe some wire burn out, or some other electrical problem. But when I was looking under the hood I had notice the belt thorn apart. I guess that I don't had to mention that the engine was hot and vapors come out of all the pipes. Doe's anyone know how to change a water pump belt ?
I will go to order a new belt a little latter and I will like to change it myself but unfortunately I cold outside and I also have to refill the cooling system. This require a ramp for allowing air bubbles to come out, so I can't do it in the parking lot. But it is a service near by. I hope is not to expensive. I really don't to spend money now.

Video cables for connecting my laptop to TV
The cables that I have are the following:
- SCART converter (my TV only a SCART connection , this is usually fund in Europe). This is plugging directly in to the SCART connector on the TV (Big bulky plug). The converter has a switch used to select if the signal is to be inputted or outputted form the TV. The input/output for audio is to RCA (to RCA connections one red and one white for left and right audio signals). The video input/output has two options. One is a RCA (a yellow RCA connection) . And a S-Video connection like the one described in the prevision post.
- RCA to audio Jack. This cable has to RCA connections (White and red) and on the other end a audio connector (identical with the one fund in headphone)
- S-Video to S-Video cable.
- S-Video to RCA cable.
I didn't try with a movie because I don't have any at this moment but probably on the smaller resolution (like the one used for movies is much better then on my small display).
Doe's anybody can tell me some good movie ?

Hi.
Today I had some fun flaming. You know, Friday is the flame day. Evrybody makes fun of everybody on mail.And debate unimportant problems like "Linux Vs. Windows", "Sex Vs. Love" and so on.
It worked
Even if is completely contradictory , if you say it serious everybody will agree.
Funny isn't it ?
Stop talking.
I have decided that I talk to much. So was thinking to shut up and watch more what happening around me. This is one of the key components of NLP: Observation.
Sad
I don't know but today I am very sad. I am still for a miracle to make me happy. But because I don't thing will gonna happen I am intending to find a way to buy an angel. Does anyone know an Angel store. Maybe I can order one online. If not I will find a way to make myself one.
What I want to say is that I relay wish to find a girl to to hug her. I relay want somebody to love. Is so funny i know at leas a a hundred girls. That are desperate trying to find a god guy to love them. Even better, they are asking me for my about jerk friend's. I asked myself way I don't scream at them "Hey stupid !!!! I am here, I am what are you looking for !!! I am the guy !!!" ? And the answer is that I can't love a girl that is not able to see something that is in front of her nose.

Augh! My head
My head is hearting like hell. Probably because I smoked half of pack of cigarettes in the last 4 hour. I was writing a program and usually when I working I can't stop smoking. Anyway I think I will make another blog about girls and another about programing and computer science. I am sure that I will have more success with that.
Girls
I don't understand why always god guys never have part of a nice girl. It is a misery for me. All the girls like bad guys. I sometime heard that girls flirt with the bad guy but is taking home the god guy. Is not true.
And again
Next week I intend to start all over again. I am decided that this year I will quit smoking. But this week i have other problems. Like finding a girl to love. Seems that nobody wants to be loved by me. Is so much think I can offer to her.
Monday, December 4, 2006
Reloaded
I think i will try again , after I finish this pack i will gonna try again. I already get used with the stress.
Sunday, December 3, 2006
I quit quiting
Seems that I start smoking again. Grate attempt, isn't it ? I will try again next week :)
Saturday, December 2, 2006
2 days
Tow day has past and I am still going strong. But i don't know how much time I can resit anymore. I am still thinking of it. I told all my friends I quited and nobody think I will succeed. They even offer me to by cigarettes for me. Great friend's, isn't it ?
Friday, December 1, 2006
22 hours after.
I past almost a day and is horrible. I have the felling that i don't have air. I thnk about every breath i make.
I had i extremely bad day. In the morning my mother bother me with extremely stupid things. But i manage to survive until now. Half o the day I slept.
I relay hating it.

The big moment
I just finish the second one. The third one I tear it apart. So this is it. The big moment. Is almost 1 December here. Probably the timestamps seems wrong, this is because i am on a completely different timezone. Here is almost midnight.
Maybe you wonder why i made a so big fuzz out of it. The idea behind is that psychological point of view it fouls my brain to think that I made a grate thing so it help me motivating.
Also if you think that instead of smoking less I smoke a lot more before the big day is not a such a god idea. Is not so true because the nicotine helps memory. That means it lock in my brain the idea that I QUIT SMOKING. Sometime you can fight fire with fire, using the addiction against itself.
3 cigarets in 30 min
I still have 3 cigarettes and in 30 minute I will stop smoking for good. I will smoke 2 of them and one I will intend to trow away.
I need support.
I personally hoped that I have a few visitors that's support me. I am a little disappointed. Seems kind of funny I not even started and I already ask for support. I know that it seems kind of lame I really want at least one person that encourage my initiative.
Motivation
Anyway some methods that I intend to use self suggestion and NLP. I will tell you about that some other time. They are very powerful methods that can be used for self improvement and motivation.
Also i hope that this blog will help me if i have enough people to encourage me. I don't have any some far. Not very promising, isn't it ? So i have the feeling that I am all alone, but i am already used with looniest.
Finishing all the tabaco i have.
I am already yo my second pack today, and i still have a half of it. I am intending to finish it until the end of the day so tomorrow i will don't have any cigar. But seem that I forget to get rid of the one from my dashboard and hope it will not cause trouble when I will get in to the car.
Wednesday, November 29, 2006
Just thinking of it.
I waked up in the morning and I didn’t have any cigarettes in the hous It was so terrifying. But I am still intending to keep my decision. I buy a pack of cigarettes for today, this is the last one. I also noticed that I still have one cigarette in my car on the dashboard; I will get rid of that so it doesn’t tempt me.
I am scared. I can imagine my life without smoking. What I am gone ‘do?
My decision to quit smoking.
I have decided to quit smoking starting from 1 December. This time I intend to quit for good. I am smoking for more than 5 years and now I am smoking more then 2 packets per day, up to 5 packets.
The reasons that made me take this decision are the following:
- It is bad for my health.
- Starting from next year the prices of the tobacco will ingress with 300% in my region.
- No nonsmoking girl likes to kiss a smoker.
- I will be more independent of time send in close spaces.
- I will demonstrate my will.
I intend to follow my process on this blog and maybe it can help others quit smoking and also motivate me.
