Is it good? Is it bad? Time will decide until I’ll found my kingdom (if you know of something available just drop me a line)…

A few minutes ago I’ve tried, for the first time, light painting. And it worked! After searching for a suitable flashlight, in the lunch break (finally I’ve found one but not small enough for my taste) I expected the night and… you can see the results. They are dedicated to a very special person for me… URS!
All I need now is imagination and time…
Last weekend 10 persons started from Sibiu for a 2 days trip near Avrig, at Zenove camping. In the afternoon 2 more persons joined us and we become 12 (apostles). Saturday we went to Barcaciu (at 1550m altitude) to have the dinner there, after a 2 hours climb. Not long after that we descend back with fear of rain (it was forecast to start after noon but we were lucky, this time the forecast was wrong - only a few dark clouds on the top of the mountains).
In the afternoon we had a small party (with music not too loud, because of the neighbors 
) and waited for the rain which arrived in the night, finally.
The second day was rainy… and I was wet in less than 5 (five) seconds (but this is another story, not for the blog).
Below you can see some of the pictures; for more you can browse the trip album here http://www.staicu.com/zenove.
I’ve made some movies as well but I need time to transfer and prepare them. They’ll be publish here, eventually.
PS. The dog you see in one of the photos cleaned the last traces of food remaining after the night party… lesson learned - put away the remaining food or the “bears” will eat it!.
PPS. Due to some problems (lack of time, mainly) the blog is not updated as often as I would like and the problems won’t be fixed in the next month…
A cat is playing on a laptop (or with a laptop?). Worth looking :D.
A new photo slide show with pictures from various Greek places in 2007 is uploaded on YouTube.
I’m waiting for a never coming feedback, as usually.
The WordPress team has released new versions with security updates, 2.2.2 and 2.0.11. This blog has been upgraded without issues (as far as I’ve test it). If you have any issues please contact me 
A new video is available from my mixing cauldron :D. This time is a photo poem from the Masca Theater street show in June, Fiore D’amor in Bucuresci. The music is by Cristian Vasile and was part of the show sound track.
Even if there are some sections I would liked to work more (on some transitions / music sync but the time dedicated to the new hobby is still too short) overall I like it. I hope you too…
At the Blackhat conference in Las Vegas, Mozilla lays down the gauntlet and claims that with responsible disclosure they can patch and deploy any critical severity holes within “Ten Fucking Days”.

Yesterday we had a unique chance for Sibiu, the concert of Goran Bregovic and Wedding and Funeral Orchestra. The concert was part of the Sibiu 2007 European Capital of Culture program and the entry was free. As we were there early we got very good places near the stage, in the middle. And this made the difference - you can see the artists, you can hear them directly. It was wonderful! The music, the show, the artist, the public (I did expect to be crowded but so much). I just hope we’ll have another chance to see him on the stage in Sibiu.
Below you can see some of the pictures taken there. For the full album please go to the main site (http://www.staicu.com/bregovic).
Today I had a nasty issue with the Yahoo Messenger client on Windows XP. Due to some internal upgrades the network gateway configuration had change and requires all the traffic to go through a web proxy (squid). I knew about it and updated the YM settings (use proxy). But no connection was possible, the only result was the sign-in problem dialog. I’ve change the connection settings but I got the same dialog no matter which alternatives I’ve tried.
After a few minutes of tests and frustration I’ve found the source of the issue and the solution.
