Well, i couldn't figure out a better title ( or couldn't be bothered to).
I must say i got a little bit frustrated, cause blogger refused to publish my post about a Chinese restaurant. I retried 3 times before it worked.
Sometimes technology just doesn't work (or so it seems).
I sprained my ankle a couple of days ago when i was jumping down the stairs. I guess i will try to be more careful from now on....
I also managed to get this Prešeren prize, which made me quite happy. It's for the research assignment I submitted about two months ago.
We got this stupid law in Slovenia.
The argument goes. If you buy blank CDs for example, you might use them to make 3 legal copies of the software / music you bought. Therefore you are going to buy less music. So we are paying a replacement for all the damage our precious musicians are going to suffer.
I responded by buying 50 CDs , 50 DVDs a DVD burner and an additional hard drive. Now i should be set for some time ;)
Also with buying a new hard drive, i decided to try some alternative OSes.
I tried Kubuntu - it worked OK, but at a random boot suddenly the screen resolution got to 800X600 and i haven't managed to resolve it withing an hour, so i decided it's not worth it.
Another OS i tried was Mandriva.
It worked OK, unfortunately i couldn't use any of the great 3D effects, since i own an ATI card.
Nevertheless it seemed quite ok, but in the end it refused to install..
In the middle time i decided to try Zeta 1.2. It has problems even on the life CD.
So am going to try Ubuntu now.( notice : no K )
Off i go, to watch some Futurama.

Hmmm... Do you know they'll put up the prices of printers as well. Supposedly so that people wouldn't copy books! :D
