se intampla... dar nu prea des

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:35:00 +0000

Se intampla si intelegem . Nu suntem absurzi. Dar in acelasi timp este si amuzant :) nu ? Sa vezi masina politiei tractata :)) iti vin tot felul de scenari in minte, poate nu a platit parcarea, poate a stationat neregulamentar, sau poate pur si simplu sa stricat :)

the Romanian man who went to Malta

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 21:16:00 +0000

One day imma gona to Malta to bigga hotell In the morning i go down to eat a breakfast I tell the waitress i wanna 2 pisses of toast...

No, this is not a post on the Italian man who went to Malta :) ... Actually it's about the Romanian guy who went to Malta. I'm really happy that Malta didn't turn out to be as the Italian man described it, although it would have been extremely funny!
Malta is a breath taking place, really different from the rest of the countries that I've seen!

Anyway, I wanted to make this post a little bit funny but something in my head was continually screaming: you numnut, you're not a funny man!

So actually this post isn't about being funny or visiting Malta, it's about my sister... Pretty funny huh !? :)

my sister - the model :)

My dear younger sister, Silvia, wanted me to take some shots of her a fer weeks ago. This is the only one that she lets me to publish it on my blog... sad. I did get some quite nice shots of her.
Anyway you can check out her blog if you like, BrightOne.

avion cu motor, ia-ma si pe mine-n zbor

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:36:00 +0000

Bineinteles ca avionul nu mai functioneaza, dar ca estetic este foarte bun.. La o varsta de aproximativ 50 sau mai mult de ani, putem zice ca se mentine bine :) (ma refer la avion hahaha)
Fotografia e ceva mai veche (cateva luni) si de curand am trecut peste ea si am retusato un pic in ps pentru efectul alb-negru.
Comentariile sau alte impresii sunt foarte bine venite.

I've got 2 sweet pictures this week... I totally love them :) Kids are incredible in front of a photo camera. They can really act stuff out without holding back.
Check this out ;)

school is O.U.T. !

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Wed, 07 May 2008 19:32:00 +0000

Today, I had my last exam to take. I wasn't too bad, but still it was an important final. I hope I did good on it.
Just 2 days and I have to check out of the dorms. It's going to be sad, since I don't know if I'm going to be back and also I don't know if I'm going to see all of my friends back next year. Zach is most probably going down to BJU, so not much hope on seeing him again too soon. I'm gonna miss these guys very much during the summer time.. Oh well, I do have a bunch of awesome super mega friend that I love.
It's gonna be a sweet hot summer :)

the facebook song

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Sun, 04 May 2008 16:15:00 +0000

This video is about... yes you guessed it! Facebook.com
I am sure many on you are using facebook or myspace, hi5 etc. They are all the same to me. The song is pretty funny and has a lot of truth to it. Just give it a listen and let me know what you think.

Ubuntu 8.04

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Fri, 02 May 2008 06:17:00 +0000

Am avut multe tentative de a trece pe Linux, unele au tinut mai mult, altele mai putin. Am incercat cu ceva ani in urma, Red Hat si Suse. Mi-au placut dar am avut tot probleme cu driveri de sunet, video samd. Am incercat si Ubuntu cu ceva timp in urma, dar din nou, probleme si probleme, iar incompetenta mea in materie de operare linux nu m-a ajutat catusi de putin.
Dar, versiunea 8.04 vine cu ceva care m-a atras foarte mult, si anume instalarea si dezinstalarea sistemului de operare din windows. Deoarece nu prevad sa incetez sa operez sistemul windows prea curand, ma incantat optiunea de a lucra cu amandoua sisteme in paralel si mai ales pe aceleasi partitii NTFS !
Linuxul nu mai seamana cu nimic din ce imi aduceam aminte de acum cativa ani. Am descarcat versiunea, am dat drumul la instal, si a pornit cu driverele generic instalate. Sa nu mai spun de efectele grafice oferite de compiz si resursele foarte putine de care sunt nevoie pentru a rula. Acestea fiind spuse, Vista primeste bataie la fundulet din partea linuxului.

Un mic filmulet facut de mine in stil amator cu Ubuntu 8.04 si compiz in functiune.

inca doua saptamani de scoala...

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:24:00 +0000

Inca doua saptamani de scoala.. Cu siguranta este cel mai intens timp petrecut aici; o carca de lucrari si examene ma asteapta. Eh, dar este frumos. A fost un an de neuitat, prietenii de exceptie, intamplari cu adevarat inedite, si o invatatura de viata fara asemanare..
Inca o luna si ajung acasa... Cel mai bine este acasa; in vizita :) Imi este dor de familie si prieteni, oare cui ii este dor de mine !? haha :) nu conteaza, mie i-mi este dor de voi toti :)
Va pup !

shame on us...

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:00:00 +0000

While I was surfing the net, I came across this wonderful quote. It is so true and so moving when you come to think about it. I mean.. we are talking about God who created us, created the whole earth and not just that, the whole cosmos. He was here from forever and will be forever (Alpha and Omega). He is something that our mind can't even grasp the tip of His being.... and still, in our foolishness we speak so lightly of Him, and not to mention cursing Him.

Bishop B.F. Westcott once said, "Every year makes me tremble at the daring with which people speak of spiritual things." Westcott should hear what is said today! A worldly actress calls God "the Man upstairs." A baseball player calls Him "the great Yankee in the sky." An Old Testament Jew so feared God that he would not even pronounce His Holy name, yet we today speak of God with carelessness and irreverence.

when you got nothing else to do, or too much to do :)

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:06:00 +0000

When you have nothing else to do, or you actually have to much to do, like I do now :P take a look at this flash game. It will make your day :) It made mine for sure !

Warning by playing this game you are actually waisting time and your work will suffer from this, as mine is suffering at this very moment :)

Proud to be a Romanian !

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 02:32:00 +0000

I don't know about you, but when I let my friends see this I get rely proud about being a Romanian :)

Enjoy :) I know I do !

College and the importance of coffee

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:05:00 +0000

College is wonderful ! Great experience to go through. You make so many new friends, you learn so much new information andyou have a lot of all nighters. These nights are probably the most rememberable times during this period. It's that time that you are stressed because of a time line that you have to meet and you haven't even started working yet on it :) So you have an all nighter and you know your not going to be able to stay up till next morning to finish up. Well, don't be afraid, there is something that can be your best friend during these crucial times... Coffee !

Coffee will turn you from this ->

to this...
It will get you through your most needed times for caffeine.

This is my 'stock' of coffee... 3 different types of coffee, one big coffee creamer, splenda instead of sugar, it don't really matter, and a thermos cup, so it will stay nice and warm during the day :)

A big thanks to Dan (top right picture) and Billy (he's sleepy) witch by the way, he has a 1 liter coffee mug... (Way 2 go dude !) ... for letting me post they're pics.

Enjoy ;)

*note: i have no idea how i got to talk about coffee.. it's kinda stupid.. oh well, all this coffee talk is making me thirsty :)

10 000 BC - bad english movie

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 01:42:00 +0000

So, me and my friends went to see a movie today and we got to see 10 000 BC. Of course I forgot my student ID card and had to pay extra then my friends.. But that is not the problem, the movie it self is the problem. I had seen the trailer to it today and I was hoping for a lot more from it. It just didn't happened.. The funny thing about the movie was the bad English that they spoke in it.. It's like they tried to implement English in that time frame, witch is ridiculous from my point of view.
Never the less the company of my friends was priceless so it was not as bad as I make it sound to be :)

idee pentru o noua afacere, RSS feed si e-mail subscription pentru pompe funebre

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 13:28:00 +0000

Este o idee benevola se pare dupa intrebuintariile care le-a primit internetul in ziua de astazi. Ca orice produs bun trebuie exploatat la maxim, de ce nu si internetul ? Un exemplu bun este o fata care si-a pus o fotografie cu bunicul ei mort pe hi5. Dupa categoriile de fotografi gasite pe situri de genul acela cu fel si fel poze, ultimul trend este sa iti afisezi partea sinsibila a ta, partea din tine alaturi de cei mai dragi, fie vi sau morti. Deci dragi copii, uitati de acele poze tip emo, sau sexy pentru ca nu mai aduc nimic nou pe masa...

Programele de tip instant messaging sunt foarte populare si foarte utile. O discutie cu cei dragi live vs email este mai atragator. Poti discuta cu prietenii, si de ce nu sa iti conduci afacerea dupa cum gasiti pe diferite situri de firme in care gasiti sub pagina de contact si o adresa de instant messaging (vezi postul de mai jos 'profesionalism hazliu'). Acest tip de programe au de obicei o optiune sub denumirea de 'status' care te lasa sa scri cateva cuvinte ce vor aparea in dreptul numelui tau. In acel spatiu poti sa iti explrimi starea ta tuturora care au userul tau cu diferite mentiuni ca 'sugeti p#!a toti' sau 'ma doare'n p#!a de toti' (banuiesc ca durerea este direct proportionala cu numarul userilor din lista lui) sau tipicul 'dnfd' care tradus transmite un mesaj nu ma deranjati ca viata mea patetica are probleme mari in comparatie cu a voastra si vreau cu totii sa stiti asta. Dar mai nou se poate observa un tip nou de mesaje, unul care le intrece pe toate in atentie. Imaginea din dreapta am capturato cu un print screen pe data de 23 Martie 2008.

Se observa clar ca atributiile internetului se diversifica cu zi ce trece, bineinteles intr-un mod degradant.

Ca atare propun ca firmele de pompe funebre sa includa in oferta lor si un sistem RSS feed si e-mail subscription. Succesul va fi garantat si un adevarat k.o. pentru concurenta. Tanara generatie din ziua de astazi va imbratisa cu multa caldura aceasta oferta si va fi foarte utila mai ales pentru cei care traiesc viata printr-un display.

Domnii tigani canta si dau dedicatii (de sute de euro) la o inmormantare,

altii aduc fete sa faca strip-tease la inmormantare.

De ce sa nu oferim si live view via unui site..
Lista ar putea sa continuea on and on... Este clar, traim intr-o lume murdara si urata, totul este denaturat de la sensul in care a fost menit.

Doamnelor si Domnilor, va urez mult succes in viata.

Cu respect
Silviu

work -> make money

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 01:54:00 +0000

I made $50 today, just by getting down the old windows from the 3rd floor of the back of the school and bringing in the new ones in.

Now that I have money, I'm gonna order the photoshop CS3 book that I spoke about a few posts ago.

Cand nu ai chef de scris lucrari

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 01:48:00 +0000

Ce faci cand nu ai chef de scri teme ?? Foarte simplu, te apuci si citesti cate un banc sau rasfoiesti cate un site care zici ca poate te-ar interesa.. sau te duci pe afara.. sau te plangi ca nu ai materiale destule pentru lucrare.. in cazul meu trebuie sa am 7 surse, in prezent am 3.. si tot asa mai departe..

un banc bun care l-am citit astazi:

Ion si Pizsti pescuiau. Prin ei pestisorul de aur care le promite ca le indeplineste cate o darinta fiecaruia daca ii dau drumu inapoi in apa. Zis si facut. Fericit pestisorul le spune: - Acum ca mi-ati dat drumul hai sa va indeplinesc cate o doarinta. Spune tu primul mah Pizsti!
Pizsti:- Fa un zid inalt si gros in jurul Ungariei sa nu mai intre nici un roman, ca toti sunt niste hoti.
Pestisorul:- Gata am indeplinit dorinta. Ioane acum tu!
Romanul se gandeste el ce se gandeste: - Ma pestisorule zidul are ferestre?
Pestisorl:-Nu
Ion: Are usi?
Pestisorul: Nu
Ion: Atunci umple-l cu apa.

The Moment it Clicks by Joe McNally - Review

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 18:40:00 +0000

Just came back from spring break, and what a wonderful and peaceful break this was :) In the mean time The Moment it Clicks was back in stock and I got a copy of it. Read it in one setting, not a very long book but well worth the reading.

The book contains some pictures that you can view on McNally's website, but you can't find the explanation that you can read in the book on how he managed to take the shot and what pushed him to get to were he is now.

I don't know if the book was meant to have this form of feelings that the reading implies. It's like you are on a roller coaster and you start up slow with ups and downs but the more you go into the book the ups and downs get to increase. Really facinating feeling.

I did manage to find some little mistakes in his photographs, and I got to think about it. Did he intended for them to be published like that ? Was there no major photoshop editing to them ?
For instance, the Munchkins guys on page 151, in the left and right lower corner you can see were the dirt ends and the backdrop falls. Page 140 I think that you can see his shoulder in the mirror. And there are more that Joe makes notice of in the book. I wish I could get his email address to ask him about it :)

I was hoping the get a little more technical stuff out of it, but that's all right there are plenty of other stuff to get from it.

One thing I really enjoyed in his writing was his honesty relating events and stuff that happened to his family, how photography impacted his marriage and his relation with his daughters. Anybody that goes in this busyness should think of effects for the long run. Mr. McNally clearly showed this in his book.

So per total I loved the book, good book to get your brain spinning and aspiring to be a better photographer.

noreply@blogger.com (Silviu) — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 21:54:00 +0000

This is a yummy book :) I checked it out today over at Books-a-Million and through those 704 pages it has REAL professional information. The price in the store was about 45$ but I did manage to find it on amazon.com for 35$. So I do want to get this book really soon, but as a college student you can't afford too many luxuries :) I just have to wait a little bit for it.
