I feel really sleepy, and it's not even 11 p.m. How sick is that, ha ?
It's been a really long day. Firstly off, the site which i am working on has been suspended for excessive CPU usage. Ain't that just fantastic. According to my hosting company a certain script named "modules.php" is to blame. The thing is that really i don't see any problems with the code, nor do the people where i posted it on the forum. ( you see, if the code was written improperly then under certain conditions the script would crash or go into infinite loop or something and CPU usage would spike ).
So there is no problem with the script itself. I think it's some other script, but i don't know which. Which means i can't fix it even if i knew exactly how to do it ( my coding skills are limited ).
Other problem is this script is one of the essential for the whole page, so i cannot simply ignore it. Now i need to either delete the script or switch to semi-dedicated hosting, which is over my budget. Note that i am not going to mention the hosting company, cause i don't really think they are to be blamed and don't want to make bad publicity (even though not many people will actually read this, but a principle is a principle).
So basically now i am sort of a screwed. I guess i will figure something out.
In the happy news section i have only one more exam left and i am done ! :). This is absolutely fantastic !
Also i broke my working record today - 13 hours and 12 minutes it was - thank God i work behind a computer and my eyes don't complain :)
You guys sure, nobody wants to go to Algeria. Cause if not i will be "forced" to go backpacking with a friend of mine, Tomaž, who cannot afford the plane ticket to Algeria right now.
Other than that i invest in mutual funds a bit, and they jumped for a bit more than 1 % in average. So that's good. Keep it coming :)

Passport - Algeria ?
I have managed to find my passport ( by pure coincidence, that is ). I realized it expired about a month ago, so now i need to get a new one. I will be forced to get a biometric password. Another great achievement for total control.
I want to travell somewhere out of Europe this year. I've been looking into Algeria. I would just like to have someone traveling with me, but nobody has the time and/or money.
It costs 460 € to get to Algiers, the capital of Algeria ( from Slovenia, i guess it's cheaper elsewhere) . Then i plan to wonder around through the mountains and the Sahara desert - adventurous style. Probably rent a car ( or a camel ? - just kidding :) )Is anyone up to it ? Date of departure - about 7th of August. I expect it to last for 3 weeks.
I expect it to cost about 1000 € in total.
So to summarize : mail me, bitches ( or comment, at least ) ;)

Cherry tree war
I have this cherry tree growing in front of my window. It's very nice cause it offers me shade in the summer, so it doesn't get too hot in the room.
In the winter the leaves fall down, so i get the sunshine it. Very nice!
Another benefit is that I am able to open the window and eat cherries. As every year, however there are masses of birds who attempt to do the same ( eat my cherries ).
I need to think of a clever idea how to get them away. My brother suggested shooting them. Of course i rejected the idea instantly. I realized that hitting the window,or creating other unusual sounds scares them off, but they start coming back in less than 1 minute and in theory i am trying to study, so hearing this sound every minute would be disturbing and impractical.
Anyone has any ideas ?

Qucikly it goes....
Today a friend of mine, practically my neighbor has been killed in a traffic accident. She was 18 years old. Apparently the road was slippery, so they were thrown out of the turn on the opposite lane, right under the heavy truck driving on the other side of the road. One other 19 old girl is dead as well, 3 boys who were lucky enough to seat at the back are going to be OK, it seems.
That sux.
Big time.
Some people are there and then in a split second they are just gone. How fast can life change....

Well
I decided i will try to post to this blog somehow more often. ( like maybe once per week ). I am just wondering for how long will i manage to keep up with this ? A week or maybe even two ? :p Oh, i realised this new firefox extension does improve my spelling over the time, cause it constantly reminds me of my mistakes. That's good.
So what up ?
Well, last week i have lived pretty much inspired by an issue of United World I received in my mailbox. Lots of people are doing very exciting things ! Nice. I felt a bit bad not contributing remotely as much as some people mentioned out there. But i guess the same goes for majority % of the UWC graduates of my age.
And compulsory nostalgia of the good old RCNUWC times was in my mind as well, of course. But it didn't last very long, cause i was too busy to just sit and think / daydream / whatever.
Today we had this event called Veter v laseh - s športom proti drogi - which means "wind in the hair - sport against drugs ( obviously such as alcohol, tobacco, etc.. and not medicines).
I participated in volleyball ( i can actually play volleyball acceptably - sounds shocking, ha ? ;) ). Our team managed to secure spot number 4 (out of 5 participants that is). It was fun, yelling on the other players or cheering together with them, when we finally managed to get a good move together ( or score, that is.. )
It sort of reminded me of the times when we used to play Age of Empires II - The Conquerors expansion in FH102. We had a couple of games with Herman, Javlon, Patrick and me vs. 4 hardest computers. We played this scenario with water in the center and Javlon and Herman were supposed to take out their navy, while Patrick and I were bleeding on the borders ( of course we also got some help from our comrades ). The computer logic is made so it attacks the player with most points. That happened to be me. I had a castle and during fierce fighting it was destroyed so my base lost basic protection and i had no place to lure the enemy units to. Finally i managed to build another castle , with proper defense, only to be taken out by enemy canon galleons. I remember i was quite nervous ( and so were the others ) so there was quite a bit of yelling. I managed to rebuild yet again ( got some decisive help from Herman's Viking elite units (berserker) and Patrick's paladins, don't remember what Javlon's unit of choice was, though.) (The good thing was i outsourced my food and lumber production in the early stage of the game ). Finally we managed to push them back step by step and we turned out to be victorious after 3 hours of playing or so.
And now ?
Well, age of empires doesn't work on linux -that sux. Well it kinda does under wine, but it's incredibly slow. (it does seem to improve slowly, though). Some people have managed to fix that a bit, but for now i stick with Tremulous. It's a first person shooter with some elements of real time strategy. It's aliens vs. humans. Aliens can evolve and humans can buy better weapons. Whoever destroys enemies base, wins. Try it out if you want to. It's free and open source. I usually play on Planeta Moscow server- but i play maybe 2 hours per week, so you don't really stand much chance finding be, but it's a possibility nevertheless..
Frag ya ;)
