Amaizing, an official page on leetspeek.
Oh.. yes.. finaly.. I understood what “w00t” and “o/” means.
“w00t” or the smiley character \o/: An acronym that means “We Own the Other Team,” used to celebrate victory in a video game.
I was so out in the dark… :blush:

It snowed a lot the day before. The atmosphere seen from the inside of a warm room was amaizing. I remembered I have no digital camera to immortalize what I’ve seen.
Other than this.. it was cold… it was freezing… I over estimated the slowness of everything in the morining (I also had some things planned for before school, but they went amaizingly fast). I arrived at school half an hour earlier (I usually do 12 mins minimum).
Conclusion after 6h of courses: hmm.. it didn’t change much. Outside it’s freezing though… it’s the only big difference. Oh.. and we have some more Electronics to study… but also some programming… but it’s still freezing…
I also had to do some shopping (mostly for 1st of March)… and it was freezing… had some taxes to pay… and it was freezing…
Oh.. almost forgot.. it was freezing…

I just stumbled across http://rss.mioritics.ro/, a site where many of the Romanian RSS feeds are listed.
Surprisingly, I found my weblog listed there too.
It’s a great collection of RSS feeds, especially if you haven’t noticed some sites having RSS feeds or if you didn’t even know some sites push news through RSS.
Get your RSS feed agregators working…

I have finished today an initial version for a Command Line Argument Parser for Psi.
It adds the following possible arguments for Psi.
--datadir=PATH - overrides PSIDATADIR--profile=ProfileName - specifies the profile to be automatically selected from the profiles available in the data dir (not necessarily defined through –datadir=…)--profiledir=PATH - this option confilcts with the first option and overrides the 2nd; it describes the directory of the only Profile going to be loaded; switching profiles is forbiddenThe main reason for starting this implementation is to make Psi as USB-Stick friendly as possible. As Psi Windows Package maintainer I plan adding some customizations to the installer to allow installing to a USB stick, with full functionality.
The patch is submitted to psi-devel-maillist for reviewing.

I think I found myself a new hobby.
Somebody on the ArchLinux forums created a package for Stellarium. Curiosity made me have a look over the project’s homepage. Due to the clean way programs get on and off my ArchLinux installation using pacman, I’ve told myself it can’t hurt.
My first impression: WOW.
I have never seen OpenGL used scientifically so well. I didn’t know much on astronomer terminologies but using that program is so much fun, I quicky understood them. Zooming in and out on stars, watching Jupiter and it’s sattelites move (& spin) in fast forward motion, watching the sun rise, watching eclipses, watching the constelations rolling on the sky… believe me… it’s incredible. This program is done so well… it’s absolutely amaizing. Even if astronomy might sound geekish, this is not true. Stellarium makes it so fun.
You have to try it. Stellarium is freely available for download for all the major platforms: Linux, Windows, MacOS.
Believe me, you’ll enjoy each and every corner of your on-screen night sky-view…
