Combo

Azi am descoperit o combinate buna de tot.
Pizza cu cascaval sau sunca, cu mai putin ketchup decat de obicei combinata cu (separat nu pe ea) andive. Dar nu simple ci salata. Iar sosul este obligatoriu sa aiba boabe de mustar!

Yummy,

Airbus vs Boeing

OK. Poate nu am calatorit eu cu top-of-the-line models de la cele doua companii insa le-am folosit suficient de mult cat sa imi permit sa dau cu parerea.

Daca compania aeriana mi-ar permite sa fac aceasta alegere, aceea ar fi Airbus.
De ce?
Dintru-un simplu motiv. A fost construita pentru a oferi confort, iar asta inseamna pe langa scaune si materiale bune si distanta corespunzatoare. De fiecare data cand am mers in Boeing nu aveam loc de scaunul din fata care avea spatarul in pozitie verticala. In schimb, in Airbus m-am simtit excelent, iar daca eram fizic capabil, puteam sa stau si picior peste picior fara probleme.

Pe de alta parte, Boeing-ul are viteza de deplasare mai mare si permite astfel realizarea unui zbor intr-un timp usor mai redus decat cel al adversarului. Oricum nu se zboara cu vitezele maxime deci probabil ca au aceeasi viteze pe parcusul unui zbor normal.

Cat despre companiile aeriene...aici povestea este mult mai lunga, mai complicata iar eu nu am folosit decat vreo 4-5 pana acum.

Sennheiser MX75

Another thing I bought from Germany. These stereo headphones.

There are better than the original headphones from apple.
There are moisture resistant.
They have a twist-and-go system which makes them harder to fall, thus great for running.
They are green.

Running has changed my life. And I am sure that the Nike+ shoes, Nike+ Sportband, Belkin Armband and Sennheiser MX-75 will help me getting faster, stronger...better.

ps. They sound really good with: Scorpions - Rock you like a hurricane.

Nike+ Sportband and Belkin Armband

Yet another thing I bought from Germany is this Sportband.

It is a wristband, which has a detachable, let's call it stick, which interacts with the Nike+ sensor inserted in the Nike+ shoes. It calculates your speed, your burned calories, distance of running. When not using it for running you can use it as a watch.


When you get home, you take this stick and plug it in a usb. It then connects to a server and uploads your run. It shows you a graph, it tells you many pieces of information and gives a training plans, lets you set goals or even compete with other.
Practically, I am now part of a worldwide running community. And I am proud of it.

The second thing I got for running is the Belkin Armband for the iPod touch. It's not much to say about it, it's the same armband like it was for the ipod nano but only bigger. I can now run without having to keep my ipod in my hand or in a pocket letting me invent excuses for why I can't run so much :P . It is annoying nevertheless.

SanDisk Cruzer micro 8GB

Another thing I bought from Germany is this USB stick.

I previously owned, and still will, a SanDisk Cruzer Titanium. Unfortunately this one has only 1gb but I will keep it because of it's virtually unbreakable case and use it to store any important files, documents I want.

This one, has the same retractable cap which is great because you don't have to worry about losing anything. It has 8gb, good speed as with all Cruzers and it also has U3 Software. This is co-designed by SanDisk and it offers Skype, OpenOffice, antivirus(McAfee) and other programs and games on-the-go. It really is a knock-out feature from where I stand. Right now I selected a file and transfered it with 7mb/s. And it can sure go faster. About two times faster.

Previously owning a flash memory from the same producer and from the same line, I can only say that it meets my expectations.
Also, I'm happy that I got it at a 'back-to-school' offer with a 30%+ discount ;).

WD MyBook Essential Edition

One of the things I bought from Germany is an external hdd.

Now that I arrived home, I got to get it out of the box and use it.

First of all, I already had in head the plan. I plugged it in, drivers were installed automatically, formated it to NTFS, had it organized (this meaning lots of folders, sub-folders, a whole familly of folders) and filed it up.
This thing has 500GB. And I believe it is enough for now. In the future I will probably buy another one and put them next to each other to look very nice. Speaking of looking, the box is very dust and fingerprint magnet. Much like the WD Passport. But it's not crucial because it's for storage not mobility.
Anyway, performance wise it is great. It does not get too hot, the hdd is silent and I sometimes even get 60MB/s writing speeds. Mostly I get around 40.

For me is great. I have on it every movie, tv-show, some music, many photos on it. And it performs very nice. Yes, it does not have, firewire 800, e-sata or ethernet or all of them, but I don't need them. Every now and then when I will remember I'll plug it in and upload some new things. Otherwise, you will find it on my bookshelf.

Game Over

Desi titlul coincide cu ultima mea zi plina petrecut in Germania, nu are legatura cu asta. Ci cu altceva.
Toata ziua am fost trist. Dar in modul urat. Era un sentiment de tristete combinat cu nervi si cu dezamagire. Cu sentimentul de lipsa de putere, de deznadejde si de scarba. Un ghiveci intreg ce sa mai vorbim.

Totul s-a declansat de la o singura idee. De fapt intrebare. De fapt raspunsul de la intrebare :

Ea fumeaza. Da, ea. Acea fata.
(usor sa nu credeti ca sunt nebun, ca).
Dar acest lucru inseamna ca acel mail care l-am trimis, scris la nervi, in care i-am spus cat de mult s-a schimbat in rau si ca ii zic toate alea pt binele ei nu al meu e adevarat. Inseamna ca acel mail e adevarat. Preferam sa stric orice sansa cu ea, sa ma urasca pana la moarte, sa angajeze oameni sa ma snopeasca in bataie decat sa fie adevarat acel mail.
In conditiile astea, insa, nu mai are rost. Nu mai merita!

Cu toate astea, as vrea sa inteleaga ca sunt aici pentru ea, si daca are vreodata nevoie de ajutor sa nu ezita sa mi-l ceara. Din pacate nici macar atat nu vrea sa inteleaga.

Si ma mai enervez din cauza prietenelor ei. Sau mai bine zis, 'prietenelor'. Nu doresc nimanui oameni care se dau drept prieteni doar pentru ca se inteleg bine la o petrecere sau au aceleasi gusturi la genti sau mai stiu eu ce. Sa ai prieteni care sa te lase sa te strici asa...e un blestem.

Gravitatea acestui lucru e foarte greu de inteles pentru cineva. Multa lume o sa zica, si ce domne, las-o in pace e viata ei etc etc. Poate lucrurile vor fi mai clare dintr-un post care va fi scris mai tarziu. Nu stiu exact cand, nu asta e important.


S-a terminat. Si s-a terminat prost.
Viata merge mai departe.
