Day in brief

2 ** 5 = 32

It’s my birthday once again.  And a very special number this time – 32, which is 2 to the power of 5.  Powers of 2 are very special numbers for all the computer people.  Hopefully I’ll make it to the 2 to the power of 6 and that these powers will be more important to me when I was at 2 to the power of 4.  Other than that, everything is as always.  Getting older, but not growing up.  I am ditching the idea of becoming an adult, since it is unachievable or way too hard.  And I am not sure it’s worth it.

Now, for all those people who complained that I don’t have a wishlist handy, and who think that that is a valid excuse to NOT get me a present, I have something to say.  I will gladly accept:

  • any driving, action, adventure, or first-person shooting games for PlayStation 3 (I already have all Call of Duty and Modern Warfare titles, both Assassin Creed games, Fallout 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV, just in case)
  • DVDs and Blu-rays of awesome movies and TV series (region 2 preferred)
  • books on web, programming, technology, team and project management, photography, driving, and pretty much anything else
  • geeky clothing (sized at least XXL)
  • food, beer, hugs, kisses, handshakes, best wishes, emails, tweets, money (in no particular order)
  • anything else

That’s the best I can do in the wishlist department right now, but I guess you got the idea. ;)

  • It's been a few years since I had a look at Picasa. Nice piece of software. Cool functionality at amazing speed. Too bad I am a Flickr fan. #
  • Shotwell photo manager will replace both Gthumb and F-Spot in Fedora 13 (coming out in a month or so). It will be interesting to see. #
  • ♺ @LoveCyprus: Finally,Google have named some streets of #Cyprus on Google maps!
