Do they care enough?

A hosting company's front page says:
"Hosting solutions starting at JUST $9.95 / month. If your looking to establish a presence on the web for the first time or if your an experienced developer we have a solution for you. We pride ourselves in offering advanced features for just a fraction of what other providers charge."
But we do not care enough to know the very basics of English grammar and do not care enough about our image to spellcheck at least the sales pitch on our front page.
Wonderful. Not.

I have my VISA!

Iit's finally official: i will be living and working in Canada for 4 months starting in July, i got my VISA today. I have been wanting to go abroad to work or study for about a decade now, so i'm very very very very happy and looking forward to it!

I haven't been writing or posting photos here that much lately because i was going back and forth between the Canadian embassy in Vienna and my home in Budapest for 3 weeks now to get this VISA, and i didn't have time to sit down and blog. I have about 20 new lomo photos to post, but they are in Budapest, and i am in Vienna until Sunday so that's when i can post them. They are great though, so worth the wait. :)

I am also working on a new site design, i want to make the photos a separate section, but still integrated into the blog itself. I really like the current design (although i have to fix the error some people get of the left panel overlapping into the middle panel) , but it doesn't highlight the photos enough.

Svenska mania

So my Sweden-obsession now got scientifically (not) validated:

Ah, I vudd suggester SWEDISH as jor langvedge to
spiek.


What language are you supposed to speak?

PS: Yes, i still hate blog quizzes, but this is actually relevant, and i decided it's cool enough. ;)

Yes to the future

Today Hungary voted a firm YES on joining the European Union. Finally, there're no more question marks left: we will officially be full members of the EU on May 1st, 2004.

The turnout was very disappointingly low: 45.56% of eligible voters cared enough about the cause to go and cast a vote: 84% said Yes, and 16% said no. It's an overwhelming majority, that is very good and reassuring to see, but i still can't understand how people can stay at home when the issue is such an important one, that will affect your future, even if you don't go to vote. People say that people were sure of the positive decision, so they didn't bother going. But what kind of a screwed up argument is that?

Anyway, cheers for our future in the EU! :)

Lomo nights

In Millenaris park, Budapest at night:

This is a tower that is lit up in wonderful colors at night. I went inside and snapped this photo:

Then Bence took one of me standing on top of one of the lights. :)

And this is next to the koi pond in the park. 100% peace and tranquility.

Beauty

Windows of a florist in Vienna (lomo photos, of course).

(More to come tomorrow. Good night for now.)

Vienna weekend

Useless pieces of trivia, because i can't post pics from here, and i am bored right now.

I am in Vienna for the weekend and the weather is just Crazy, with a capital C. It changes every 5 minutes, from a snow storm to becautiful sunshine, and it's freezing cold. It's April, but it certainly doesn't look like it.

The notebook broke this week, which means that i could only watch half of the Osbournes DVD i rented, which is exactly the excuse i needed to order it from amazon. So i did. I can't wait for it to arrive.

There are now free public internet terminals throughout the city, which is very cool. It's run by the city of Vienna, so no mindless browsing allowed, just the city services, many many useful infos, like current cinema schedules, restaurants in the vicinity of the terminal (very cool), transportation schedules, etc, and email + sms. And internet shopping at ebay, amazon and a few more. So i could have ordered the above DVD standing on a street in Vienna. :) It's a very cool service anyway.
