I have a quote in my mind

As I was taking a bath, a quote started to materialize in my mind.

“Saying that creationism is valid because evolution has some gaps, is like saying that a circle is truly a square because you cannot define all the digits of Pi.”

Does it make sense to anyone? Too geeky perhaps? Ideas to improve it?

Αυτόματη αναβάθμιση

Είναι επιτέλους καιρός να κάνω μία αναβάθμιση του WordPress και αποφάσισα να το κάνω με την βοήθεια ενός πολύ καλού plugin που ανακάλυψα μέσω του WordPress GR.

Το δοκίμασα ήδη στην δοκιμαστική εγκατάσταση μου και δούλεψε μια χαρούλα, αλλά το πρόβλημα είναι οτι η αυτή η εγκατάσταση είναι λίγο παλαιώτερη καθώς και πολύ πιο γεματούλα. Γενικά τρέμει το φυλλοκάρδι μου διότι ακόμα θυμάμαι τι τράβηξα την προηγούμενη φορά και τελικά αναγκάστηκα να εγκαταστήσω καινούργιο theme (Όχι οτι το μετανοιώνω ή κάτι τέτοιο)

Ήδη έχω φτάσει στο 3ο βήμα. Τώρα βαθιά ανάσα και…

Update: ΟΚ, τα κατίφερα! έκλασα μπανάνες όταν η MySQL απο πίσω άρχισε να κλαίει και οι σελίδες να μην φορτώνουν αλλά σύντομα ανακάλυψα πως ήταν μια ατυχής σύμπτωση. Ο σέρβερας που με χοστάρει για κάποιο λόγο τα ψιλοέπαιξε και ούτε την σελίδα της Dreamhost δεν μπορούσα να ανοίξω. Ευτυχώς τα πράγματα φαίνεται να επανέρχονται σιγά σιγά στο κανονικό, και η αναβαθμισμένη σελίδα μου δουλέβει κανονικά 🙂

Επίσης βρήκα και την ευκαιρία να γραπώσω μερικά ακόμα plugin που μου φάνηκαν χρήσιμα. Είδομεν

Wacken's 300

A member of our Wacken trip, seems to have a quite a good skill at making videos, he has mixed up his takes from Wacken and created a little trailer, as a taste of what happened. It was created with a little 300 theme in mind.

You can see it below, or if you’d rather have a more lite version (it is 40MB), you can head over to Youtube where he has uploaded it as well.

W:O:A 2007 Gallery filled

Faces to loveSo, I’m back as you probably figured out. No big post yet but the gallery for the festival is filled with stuff. Until I can get around to writing the damn blogpost check it out and feel free to comment on stuff.

Unfortunately, two of my better and bigger vids where corrupted after I took them (no idea why. Size I guess?). But if you think you might be able to restore them, by all means attempt it! I’d be grateful if you did.

As for the post, I’ll try to split it into two parts. The first will be about my experience in the festival and will be hosted here, while I’m planning on writing the second over at my last.fm journal just for the heck of it.

Write to you soon.

WoA ready

  • Pile of camping stuff: Ready
  • Shit Kickers (To hold against the rain): Ready
  • Pozer outfit: Ready!
  • A crapload of torrents downloading: Done!
  • Rsyncing my whole music collection to ftp since I have the time: Why not.

Alls good. I probably forgot a shitload of stuff which will mean that I will end up in a very bad situation but what the hell. Lets screw up.

Wacken 2007, here I come!

Bicycle protection

I had to investigate after having my own bike stolen when I really should have done it before but at least I’ll know better next time right?

In any case, here’s some quite good information on how to protect your bicycle. Next time I’m certainly buying two types of locks and leaving the bike in the ECB parking spot.

With the number of [tag]bicycle[/tag]s around, I really wish Frankfurt had a bait program like the one the Victoria police department implements.

Bad luck comes in threes

And it seems I might be getting the treatment…

  • Yesterday morning, I discover that my internet connection has b0rked
  • After leaving work, I find out that my brand new used recently-repaired bicycle was stolen just outside the office
  • This morning, I forgot my security badge and I am afraid I might have lost it

Now among these, the third one is the least, the first one can be fixed (I hope without too much hassle) but the second one really brought me down. Especially since I had very recently spent €70 on repairs and I had grown quite accustomed to it :'(

I’m going to report it to the police but I’m afraid it is not going to do a bit of difference. Especially seeing as the bike was used and I do not even remember the brand.

Damnit! At least I hope that this string of bad luck is at an end.
