Money Money Money

The upper banknote is 500 Euros, the lower is 5000 Tolars. What do you think, how many of the lower banknotes do I need to get one upper?


Well, plenty. 24 and some small change.
And this much I need for two months of rent:

Babies Named Unknown

I've been playing a bit with the Baby Name Wizard to see what odd names those crazy Americans are having. And yes, according to that thing there are a few babies named Unknown.

Moving My Old Bones

Yay! I'm moving! I won't have to endure the lack of intelligence in one of my flatmates any longer! The other flatmate is moving out, too. Gee, I wonder why... My gf and I have found a neat flat, 32 m2. I mean, wow! I'll have my gf as the only flatmate. Bingo, I say! And there already is cable internet, I just move over and won't even know the difference. Oh, pardon me, I will see the difference. My flatmate won't saturate the line any longer! Damn he and his edonkey or whatever. Once I told him I noticed he's downloading all the time. "Yeah," he said, "but the upload speed is shitty." Hmmmm.... "Wait a minute," I say, "why do you need good upload, if all you need is download?" "Beats me." I mean. COME ON! A guy that's soon to finish undergraduate study at the faculty of computer engineering. I'm SO going away and letting him live in his own tiny world of utter ignorance. He doesn't even know what's that computer in the hall for. Yes, a firewall of some kind, so he can't get infected by those nasty viruses. He has no clue about masquerading, routing, traffic shaping; hell, he hasn't even touched linux in his life!
But damn, living in the capital is expensive, from a tenant's point of view. My soon-to-be-ex flatmate got a bigger flat in his home town for 210 EUR per month and we got this smallish flat for 280 EUR per month. Expenses not included. And they even say this price is fair!

Me a Doodyhead?

But seriously now. Since when is suggesting to find three differences in two pictures a cause to flame me? I was even called a doodyhead. Just like Bush in an essay. But I'm nowhere near as odd as Bush. Seriously. I can pronounce the word "nuclear" correctly!
