Be my fraking Valentine - Libre Software way

Again i will speak openly about this celebration like in many others is transformed in a comercial rush for goods and
the love part is always forgotten but only the frak part is celebrated these day like in pagan rituals for copulation.


Read about the saint  and forget to do shopping today and to buy flowers , there are other gifts more important
like a kiss or a simple soul and smile.All i need these days is a hand full of love , nothing else can help.


People wake up , life is not about mating and eating but about free spirit and Jesus Christ Superstar

So this is why i celebrate the love my way using Libre/Free Software and sharing the good things and beliefs with the others




Time to party ppl and celebrate the freedom


I love Free Software!

But the truth is that we can always go further. Love more, live more, risk more.

This is the story of my life , i had a big shock in past and i stopped my evolution
truth is i can go further with love , life and everything.

Immobility is never the best solution. Because everything around us changes (including love) and we must accompany that rhythm.

OpenOffice 3.2 quick install on Ubuntu / Debian

The old office crashes a lot so i needed to test if the new one it works
another alternative is to install koffice
apt-get install koffice-kde4

axel http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/extended/3.2.0rc5/OOo_3.2.0rc5_20100203_LinuxX86-64_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
tar -zxv OOo_3.2.0rc5_20100203_LinuxX86-64_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
cd OOO320_m12_native_packed-1_en-US.9483/DEBS
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/swriter

if you want to apear in menu you need to remove the old office
sudo su 
apt-get remove openoffice.org-bundled openoffice.org-common
dpkg -i desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.2-debian-menus_3.2-9472_all.deb

When Our darkest fears attacks us

I have a fear for holes in the earth like the graves
In my childhood i played with some kids in a ground hole made for a house
and for fun they had the idee of let me there without stairs.
I panicked and had great fear that something terrible will happen.
They let me cry there inside the "grave" it was not a good feeling at all.
Another fear is fear of death but i will talk about it later.
One strange fear is loosing someone you love , you think you can do anything to not happen but sometimes it does.
And when you have that fear somtimes you might try act to avoid situations that put your love in danger but in the end fear is the worst enemy and makes thinking weak and reactions not rational: that is why  panic attack and jealousy exists, and the feeling is the same : a great pain in the chest
hard rate of heart and blood pressure and feeling that you explode and can't breath
It can kill the rational self or the love we carry.

There are good deaths ?

My sister just announced me that Maria (A lui Petrica) died
she was one of the neighbors from grandmother's house.
Sometimes not the people who expect they die but the ones unexpected,
she was stranded in the house for more that 10 years and only vitamins and meds kept her alive,
I always expected to die first from the list neighbors or when my father told me that someone around died
and yes i did my little prayers so he should be lifted from this misery life but seems that my grand mother was first
that stepped on the other side.
Who knows what sins she had or what are she's rewards after this life for so much pain.and linger.
God rest her in peace i will always miss her strawberry pancakes and cookies. She was the grandmother of my best friend (Daniel) from the childhood. I should call him.

Teddy Bear Without Heart Storyline

I want to write a song and do the 3d grapics for it (yes is 5 AM in the morning , sleepless and with ideas) and music with the help of lmms.
It's about a teddy bear that loses his heart
He has a kitty as friend and one day  teddy takes his heart and gives it to the little kitten
And kitty plays and plays around witth his heart.
And the kitty enters in a virtual world with his heart and the bear can't find them both
and becames some kind of zombie.

And he enters the virtual world and he searches his little kitten and speaks to various animals.

:- Have you seen my heart and little kitten ?

In the end he finds her and they will be very happy i guess , but is only a story



Here are the first versions of the verses

http://gist.github.com/289835

work will be under CC license http://creativecommons.org/
and i might reuse the world and animals from bigbuckbunny.org
the evil stays the evil , and the rest are good as they are for the moment
I 'm imagining that you will know who will steal the heart of the teddy from the kitten

A part of me died in 2008

Once with my grandmother's funerals , It was like a second mother to me
I growed there at the country side with real cows and real chickens and when i was a child
she took care of me before i went to school, parents had jobs and it was hard for them with 2 childrens and work.
I want to start some of the stories about what i remember from that time.
I have big pain in the chest when i think about my grandmother , when i go now to that house
i still wait to apear and to ask me how do i feel or anything and i cry rivers
I kept my pain inside too long and i should cry more and more to free my chest.
Maybe that is the reason that i'm not the same like before , i had so much to carry with me
When i saw it that they put her in the grave something died inside me . I can't describe the pain and
the feeling that world ends at that time . and when i saw my sister's eyes i think i understood
never again in this life we will see her.
Now i put candels to the grave , but is a part of me there too .
On the bright side in the day she died there was an beatifull rainbow after all day was rainy and cold and ugly .Maybe a sign that she is ok on the brighter side of death.

Andy's death part two

Andy died of cirrhosis and he entered in servraje because he didn't drinked for about two days , anyway he wanted to die because he was lonly and forgotten
This is what his son Anduta told to my sister.
After his death he gave her his last unfinished sculpture...
Maybe if he was treated 2 years ago he was alive today

And now comes the WTF part:
The orthdox ? priests , the most hated clique in Romania
he asked for 9 Millions (old LEI) for the ceremony (and this is for a poor man)
and yes just because he was burned in Bucharest they have asked more
you know only because it's shouldn't go like a dog on the road to Bucharest.
I hate them , Let them burn in Hell , I will not kiss their dirty hands.

Ahh and they asked to buy candles only from the church ~1 Mil

Crappy new year

I think this year began with sorrow and not with happyness
First our family friend Andy died alone in his apartment in Burdujeni (Suceava)
He died alone like dog , with no friends or relatives around (my grandmother always said that we die alone with only the maker in front of us , and no relatives are just dust compared with the full dark and freedom)
I don't know more about his death , what happened but i know his son tried to convince the elders that Andy's last wish was to burn in fire and not to be eaten by worms and the ugly humus.
I have to ask my sisters more about it .
He always told us stories about his family and how they went on OLT river by boat with the full crew (family)
and how they saw bears i think in Harghita moving around his boat in the dark throwing tree roots arund, he went to a store and he asked for bread and it was  Ceausescu time when bread was scarce and only you could get only one per person so the people around gave him their pieces and for the all family
and how they went down the river and somwehere where only romanians exists in the south
they throwed stones to them just for fun
Another beautiful story he told us was about his trip with the bycicle (Pegas) from Suceava to Sighisoara
over the mountains to the Medieval Festival .How they had some strong drinks with them (Afinata) and once Anduta felt with the bycicle so strong that he was bleeding but with his father help and strong drinks they continued.In Sihisoara they stayed with some high school teenagers around and they asked for some grass/pot so Andy created the master pot with simple Carpati + Pepper + other things to put in the soup not in your nose and the funny thing people liked it and they wanted more.
only after a few days Andy told them that it was only the power of Carpati and nothing else :P
Rest him in heavens , we don't know that power of Chirst is with weak people and not in the stronger ones .

Second death was by Calin's father , i don't know reea is cursed or something? because we have so many deaths in such a short time inside our company.I can't take it anymore.
I can't cry anymore just to be shoked and i can't react anymore.At the funerals i couldn't cry but only now , the shock is to heavy and too soon and sometimes the brains can't react to so many
wrong happenings.
And the big shock of today i'm almost single or more single than less single, and i swear i had a dream about it , Don't ask it's very complicated.
Between xmass and new year i had very strong flu , so strong that a few days i had only dreams , you know the shamanic ones , on the brick of life and death theritory, and death is so cold.
At the Calin's father funerals i had a revelation: with each one we loose we die ourselves piece by piece and in the end nothing is left and we fly high into one thousands suns.
There is no sense in this world if you look with mortal eyes , but maybe there is something interesting where the saints are resting and playing/singing.
ps: I can haz catz , so you know that always there someone to surpress our pain in the back (yes we do have a cat in the house)
Dear god gravitation and worms sux, we need heaven on earth soon

sudo kate /etc/sysctl.conf
add this line
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

sudo su

I have tested spawn-fcgi and php fast cgi under heavy load

and sometimes nginx reports that is dead "Connection refused while connecting to upstream"
ab -c 200 -n 5000 http://localhost:8080/posts/

PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=10
PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS=1000
/usr/bin/spawn-fcgi  -C 10 -F 10 -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -u www-data -f /usr/bin/php5-cgi

about #mplayer #vdpau #ubuntu #pulseaudio

I found a way to disable mplayer warning about pulseaudio that is erased from my computer
sudo vi /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
search for the line with pulse and remove it
it should look like this

ao=alsa,sdl:aalib

I found that vdpau video output option works
mplayer -vo vdpau http://fd.fabiensanglard.net/dEngine/doomRotated.mov

but i didn't notice any lower cpu usage

maybe i need to install vdpau packages for nvidia from ubuntu repository ?

ps: I have founded that link on reddit related to Doom classic code review

tar -x -f quakesw-1.0.6.tar.gz

I had an error when i ran make after ./configure

add `AM_PROG_AS' Makefile.am: to `configure.in'

i modified the configure.in this way added AM_PROG_AS
also removed gcc flag -mpentiumpro

touch INSTALL NEWS README AUTHORS ChangeLog
automake --add-missing

autoreconf
and then
./configure
make

you will get an linking error related to d_copy.S
grep d_copy *
search for it and remove all references from Makefile and Makefile.in , Makefile.linuxi386, Makefile.am

then do again ./configure
make
./sdlquake



or full screen

./sdlquake -fullscreen

or without sound

./sdlquake -nosound




for a better engine try something based on ioquake
