Hastalık ve karıncalar

Eveeet, uzun zamandır hasta olmuyorum diye üzülüyordum (En son temmuz'da hastalanmıştım)... Gözümüz aydın, boğaz enfeksiyonu ile karşınızdayım!


Doktor yazdı iki gün raporu + penisilini, penadürü... Yine acıların çocuunu oyniciiz.



Bütün bunlar yetmiyormuş gibi evi karıncalar bastı yine (geçen Haziran'da canlarına okumuştum)! Son yöntemim omo'yu çamaşır suyu ile karıştırıp bir çeşit alçı haline getirmek ve lanet şeylerin yuvalarını tıkamak. Bir deliği tıkıyorum, başka yerden çıkıyor namussuzlar!

Starcraft fastmap zerg opening

I am a long time fan of the computer game Starcraft. I first started playing it around 1998 but since I became addicted and had to finish my master studies, I left it. Then, two years ago I started again to play it on the internet. I have accumulated some experience, especially with the money maps (aka possi, fast map).
In today's entry I will explain my game opening as a zerg. The full replay is here. You need StarCraft-Broodwar version to play the replay.

A note about the screenshots below: StarCraft saves screen captures as PCX files. I used IrfanView to convert them to jpg's.

Danish cartoons

The internet and blogs are full of stories/debates/comments about the Danish caricatures of Mohammed. I guess it is a good time to re-read Paul Graham's what you can't say.

How to cut an onion

You guys out there cooking... Do you know how to cut an onion properly? And do you ask questions a lot so that you don't waste time with things that are already solved? Yes? Good for you. And by the way, parasites are very wise!

MP3 önerileri

Bu aralar dinlediğim ve herkese tavsiye edeceğim şarkılar:

Pink Martini - Donde Estas, Yolanda

Shirley Bassey - If you go away
...
Then if you go, I'll understand,
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
...
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been, or will be again;
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch,
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much.

Badem - Ala Gözlerini Sevdiğim Dilber

Ala gözlerini sevdiğim dilber
Şay edip aleme bildirme beni
Açıp ak gerdanı durma karşımda

Ecelimden evvel öldürme beni

Badem - Kara degil mi.mp3

Doobie Brothers - Long Train Running

Blondie - Maria

Ozone - Noma Numa Yei

Erdal Erzincan - Aglasam mı

Mevlam gül diyerek iki göz vermiş
Bilmem ağlasam mı ağlamasam mı
Dura dura bir sel oldum erenler
Bilmem çağlasam mı, çağlamasam mı

Engineer vs. Manager

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man below says: "Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude."

"You must be an engineer" says the balloonist.

"I am" replies the man. "How did you know."

"Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."

The man below says "You must be a manager."

"I am" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."
