Damn, I just read this story about a gambling site that managed to not only suppress an DDOS attack but also find and help to the arrest of the attackers. This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside 🙂
It also makes me motivated to learn more stuff about networking. I mean, here I am, 24.6 years old and I have almost no knowledge on computers even though I tend to be the most knowledgable of my friends.
I don’t understand however why I get so bored when I get back home, I just can’t seem to be able to lift a finger to learn new stuff
Fluxin'
Finally set Fluxbox up and running, learned about slits, dockapps, and some other stuff. Now the thing is starting to look cool!
I also set up my Smoothwall and I can finally feel secure enough. I can see a whole lot of portscanning going on but hopefully it doesn’t get past my smoothie. I was afraid its setup was going to be hard but it was a breeze.
Yesterday I also went with my sister to my cousin’s village to “celebrate” easter. It wasn’t as boring as I thought but it wasn’t very great either. Greek Ethnic tends to annoy me.
The last few days have seen a great deal of late night drinking and dancing/headbanging. I spend too much money and I don’t get any hot nekkid chickz…*sigh*
Now I’ve also heard who’s coming for this Summer. Megadeth, Dio, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden and a whole lot of others. I’m going to turn into a ping-pong ball to manage to see all those and I also will need to save a lot of money as well. The Rockwave prices are preposterous as well, I mean WTF 60€ for black sabbath and 45€ for the rest? What do they think we are? We should go to Bulgaria with 15 euros…
I also need to go out today and must still find some company to do it…grr
Almost Sick
Bah, I hate being on the verge os sickness.
Right now I’m weak, irritated, my throat almost hurts, my eyes almost hurt and I feel very heavy. bleh!
Yesterday I played some warlord again (yay!).Raziel owned 🙂
Farewell and thanks for all da fish
Well, that’s it then. I said goodbye to all my friends, left my guild and cancelled my [tag]WoW[/tag] account. I just couldn’t find the will to play. Perhaps in the future I will reactivate it to play but for now, I want to check on Guild Wars.
Gentooing
Yay! Started installing Gentoo on my home system and everything seems to be going well for the time being. I left it happily compiling kde-meta at home. I hope it is done when I get home.
I also visited the Thessaloniki Games Fair this weekend, got into a Hot-shots live session and managed to kill two people with some John-Woo action. In the end my crappy weapons jammed and I got a bullet in the guts. Twas fun!
The rest of the fair wasn’t anything great. Not so much atendees and not too many events all around.
I’m seriously thinking of quitting [tag]WoW[/tag]. I just don’t play anymore and I don’t think I will. Perhaps I will play by this Wednesday although I doubt it.
And hey! The weekend was pretty sweet in any case.
Eh…
Your an electric Dragon! Well, Well, Well, Speedy!
Electic dragons are just do darn quick, which
means you must be quick at something. Whether
its running, swimming, or answering questions,
you are super speed. But of course, you have a
craze for video games or computers. You can
play amazingly at any game or at least try to.
Go you!
What elemental dragon are you?

Back to the routine
Aaah, four days of rest passed. Now back to work.
Situation with family seems to be on an uneasy rest, things haven’t changed. Friends liked the scar though 🙂
[tag]WoW[/tag] interest is waning again, and I don’t know if it will resurge once more. I feel bad for letting the guild down. However I like getting out once more and my grief seems all but gone (still have occasional relapses now and then).
I haven’t seen my gaming buddies for a while but I just don’t feel like playing games now, taking a break so to speak. Maybe in due time…
Downloading songs like crazy as well, exploring new bands I’ve never really taken an interest before.
Family Fight
Just got into a fist [tag]fight[/tag] with my aunt. They seem to believe that because I so not say anything that they are free to do as they like in the house. Well It’s war then!
Meeting over
Yesterday I met with Michael Kalopoulos. He is more wise than I expected, although he did have some Ethnic positions that bordered on racism. He is a pretty nice guy and he didn’t even seem to mind that I talked to him in singular.
I spent most of the time listening (although I managed to steal a few minutes to rant about the situation with the European patents). I’ll try to visit that place again, the people in it seem very friendly.
Right now I’m sitting in my room listening to new music while reading The Great Lie
Interesting connections
Well, the last few days have been interesting. First of all I met a very nice girl and we went together to the theater (That’s a first time for me). It was actually a pretty good show. We has a very good time altogether this Saturday and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My interest is once again waning on [tag]WoW[/tag], I don’t want to abandon my guild but if my excitement doesn’t pick up soon…
Now for the interesting stuff. As I was searching for the Greek Scandals of the Church that happened lately, I stumbled onto a site of a [tag]book[/tag] on the bible, The Great Lie. The examples where quite an interesting read and I mailed the writer to congratulate him on his work. After some mail exchange I decided to call him at home (he lives in Thessaloniki as well) and after some talk we decided to meet in person today. Some friends might be coming with me and I’m pretty excited about this.
Also I stumbled into a great site on [tag]atheism[/tag] that makes for a great read while at work.
Work has also been full these days which is good since I don’t like to sit around doing nothing all day.
It’s goot to feel good. I think I’m going to watch some Babylon 5 while I wait for the time to come.
PS: Oh, I also discovered Sonata Arctica yesterday. These guys are pretty good.
