Prima etapa la ISDC - 1

Salut (asa zic mai nou.. Clujul asta.. ce face din om), din moment ce starea mea curenta de spirit poate fi descrisa printr-o functie cu doi parametri cu ponderi necunoscute, acestia fiind plictiseala si .. comtemplare ..la ce va fi (despre viata mea e vorba nu va speriati:) adica, viata chiar e un joc asa, complex, sa nu te plictisesti. In fine, hai sa trecem la treaba, deci cu .. ISDC-ul. Am fost sambata 4 aprilie 2009 la ora 10:00 dimineata la sediul firmei ISDC (asta inseamna plecat din Observator cu autobuzul 43P (cel care duce la Polus din jumate in jumate de ora) la ora 8:35 pentru ca eu sunt paranoic, impreuna cu colegul meu Marius care trebuia sa mearga si el si probabil ca nu vroia sa mearga singur. Asa.. si ajungi la ..nu mai stiu sigur, pe la 9 oricum in zona Polus-ISDC si intri in Polus ca doar nu o sa stai in fata cladirii firmei cu o ora inainte (cum cred ca au facut alti oameni, nu stiu sigur ..) si te "uiti" la ..magazine, problema este ca la acea oportuna ora niciun magazin nu e deschis si poti sa te delectezi doar privind oamenii care merg din nevoie in polus (sau cei cu probleme:) si care fac curatenie sau deschid magazinele (ps- am vazut femeia care vinde fornetti sau buon giorno sau cum le mai zice si avea multe pungi enorme cu mini-foietaje din alea inghetate asa ca ... nu stiu probabil ca nu ar trebui sa mananc nici eu. Dupa ce a trecut destul timp mai pleci o data la baie inainte sa te aventurezi spre "marea provocare" si asa incepe.. Te apropii de cladire si vazand ca mai sunt cateva persoane afara care par sa fie acolo din aceleasi motive ca si tine si intrebandu-te ei de ce nu intra intri ca doar nu ai nimic de pierdut. Acolo esti intampinat de aproximativ 2 persoane ospitaliere care te poftesc intr-o sala de testare (testul de inteligenta.. nu e unul usor) unde te poftesc sa beneficiezi de toate facilitatile igieno-alimentare pe care ti le ofera parterul. Dupa putina asteptare incepe.. vine o fata mai simpatica (psiholoaga probabil) si iti explica ce ai de facut(sunt 4 teste, nu foarte diferite intre ele, trebuie sa observi siruri de litere si sa zici care urmeaza dupa o anumita logica, cateva desene cu o logica secventiala, iar trebuind sa mentionezi care urmeaza, sau primind 2 cuvinte ce se afla intr-o anumita relatie ex. camasa - imbracaminte, trebuie sa spui cuvantul asociat cuvantului pantof). Aceste teste trebuiesc completate pe rand in timp foarte scurt, primele 2 in 7 minute, urmatorul in 3 minute si ultimul in 5. Toata lumea este sincronizata si face acelasi test deodata. Asa... din pacate s-a cam lungit povestirea asta asa ca o sa continui alta data partea urmatoare. Ciao

Books - the easy way

Hello. Did you know you can read books and travel or do any kind of activity (a non-requiring a lot of brain activity that is). It's easy all you need is :
1. An mp3 player (preferably portable)
2.An audio book (preferably more)
And there you go. You can read books on the way home (that is if you're not driving, although I'm not totally sure that wouldn't work) and spare yourself of minutes, perhaps even hours of boredom.
You can find a good collection of audio books here : audio books , all kinds of books, such as Don Quixote, Moby Dick or The art of war. Check it out.

You can't fool adsense

I'm going to take the time to tell you that (as the title says:) you cannot fool Google Adsense. That is, to be more explicit, i would like to tell you a short story , actually it's not even going to be a story, it's more like a few sentences. I'm sure all of you (by that i mean all of you you ever heard of adsense) thought: "Sure, Adsense. I can make money with advertising on the web. It's simple, all you have to do is create a site and people will visit it and there you go, 1 million dollars." Actually it's not quite that simple even if you have read a few books on how to make money with Google Adsense(i read a bit myself). At this point you might have thought of the idea of copying content(for the more pirately readers) from other sites (Why not? everyone else does it) on you own site, that should keep the cash flowing. The problem is that .. (i speak from experience, i myself have tried this little scheme with a certain website, i won't tell you which one it is for obvious reasons) .. this whole scam thing, well .. it doesn't work. Google has an extremely well built search and indexing algorithm which will make no mistake, not any time soon anyway. The whole principle is that in order to earn something from this ad business you have to provide some service to the internet community. Your site will never get enough clicks for you to earn something unless it is of real use and people will visit it for the right reason. That is the solution to the problem, finding a problem and solving it:)
OK.. back to java..
