The ultimate image labeling tool
January 29th, 2007It's been a while since I promised myself I would describe the image labeling tool that my colleagues and I have developed about a month ago. Several people asked, it's better to describe it once rather than repeat myself every time one's curiosity finds… more »
Deja vu
January 28th, 2007I definitely recommend it, you should watch it. It covers some interesting ideas about the (ir)reversibility of our actions, free will, time, cause and effect, etc.
It has something in common with 'Minority Report', it also shares some elements with th… more »
We love UTM
January 28th, 2007UTM, dragostea mea. In curind nu voi mai fi acolo, si deja ma apuca nostalgia. De fapt, am inceput sa observ asta inca anul trecut, c'est la vie. Oamenii se ataseaza nu doar de alti oameni. Oricum, iata ce am gasit in unul din laboratoare :-)

Don't Love So Much
January 28th, 2007Don’t call me every hour,
Don’t buy me every flower.
Don’t turn my whim into your goal
Don’t let me take over your soul!
Don’t get a tattoo of my name.
That I am yours – do not proclaim.
Don’t beg me for a… more »
Who are they?
January 23rd, 2007All of us have been there at one point in time, many of us might not have noticed it though. Have you ever found yourself in the situation in which you had to express an idea about someone doing something, referring to them as 'he' or 'she'? Some write '… more »
Labirint
January 21st, 2007Labirint
Încerc să fiu eu însumi,
În măşti mă rătăcesc
Eu mi-am pierdut esenţa,
Nu pot s-o regăsesc.
O umbră fără formă
Răsare în oglindă...
Ecou fără de sunet...… more »
Res publica
January 20th, 2007Patriotii din Banca de Economii si din Deeplace si-au amintit de vremurile de glorie a Romei antice :-) more »
BlogDesk and b2evolution
January 19th, 2007BlogDesk is my latest greatest discovery. I've tried multiple blog clients, among them - Windows Live Writer, w.bloggar, dotPost, and maybe a couple of others. BlogDesk is definitely the nicest of them all.It didn't work out of the box, for some reas… more »
Getting over a relationship, the mathematical way
January 15th, 2007A friend of mine describes a wicked situation which is very familiar to me. As a man, I must agree that it sucks to be there. Well, the bright side is that a technical background and some basic math-skills enable me to analyze the problem from a differen… more »
An attempt to save physical space
January 13th, 2007I've decided that I've had enough of my 21" CRT Monitor.
It is great, it does everything I need, and I love it. The only drawback is that it takes a tremendous amount of space on my desktop, and it is time to change it to something slimmer. I hate it wh… more »
Reading material
January 13th, 2007At times, the things I write turn into (relatively) larger projects. Each item in the list points to the project's page, where you can read more, and leave your comments.

Ghicitori
January 13th, 2007Ghicitoarea#1
Paraşuta s-a deschis
Sunetul a orbit milioane,
Oameni ca frunzele cad.
Au făcut-o americanii.
Ghicitoarea#2
Paraşuta nu s-a dechis,
Sunetul unui bec stricat.
O lumină s-a stins,
Noaptea… more »
Taci
January 9th, 2007Taci
Atingerea ta
E una divină,
De viaţă mă umplu
Ţinînd a ta mînă
Pământul îmi fuge
De sub picioare,
Prin haine aripi
Încet se strecoară.
Brusc, explodez!
La viteza luminii
Mă îndepărtez… more »
Keyboard vs mouse
January 7th, 2007We’ve done a cool $50 million of R & D on the Apple Human Interface. We discovered, among other things, two pertinent facts:
Test subjects consistently report that keyboarding is faster than mousing.
The stopwatch consistently proves mousing i… more »
Help me help myself
January 5th, 2007Untitled_Text_045 (help me)
În noaptea asta iarăşi
Mă văd în vis zburînd,
Cum vîntul mă ajută
Ancora s-o desprind...
Gustat-am fericirea,
Cu aştrii am vorbit...
Dar am pierdut aripa
Şi jos m-am pră… more »
Happy new year
January 1st, 20072007 is here, and 2006 is 'there'. I'd like to wish everyone a happy and productive year. But guys, keep in mind that my wishing this has no real effect on what actually goes on in your lives. If I chew a bubble gum, the effect is the same ;-) In other w… more »
Finding bottlenecks
January 1st, 2007For the past 2 weeks I've been experiencing a very annoying problem with my computer - it became painfully slow.
Alt+tabbing between windows, or minimizing a window would 'choke' the audio player;
It took ages to go into hibernate, it would take longe… more »
