Ladies and gentlemen, stop thinking I&#8217;m an idiot, you&#8217;re only annoying me and in some cases &#8211; turning me away from your services. If I&#8217;m asking for stats for your downtime this means that 1) I know enough about that so it would be hard for you to lie to me and 2) where the hell in my signature in the email is written that I&#8217;m retarded and you&#8217;ll be able to wave it away with some explanations about new lines? Give me the data and if I have any questions, I&#8217;ll call &#8230;<br \/>\nThe same way some marketroids were annoying the hell out of me trying to paper out around something and then brought me into a datacenter which smelled moist too much. FFS&#8230;<br \/>\nBut, it&#8217;s really satisfying to talk to them about their competition. They get foam around the mouth, a lot of dirty details can be learnt and at some points when I tell them prices I got offered, I can see them hurting in their heart. What else should they expect, when they&#8217;re fucking with me?:)<br \/>\n(one colleague that talks a lot more with such persons is far more evil. We all love listening to him talk with them, especially with BTC)<\/p>\n<p>I discovered the paying with distortion. When you play something like it should be, for example Forty Six &#038; 2 by Tool with flanger, it&#8217;s nice and makes you play it a bit more. When you add distortion, it gives you power and willingness to tear the strings. I don&#8217;t even want to mention how it also amplifies a lot and tries to blow the speakers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Choke&#8221; by Palahniuk is, as usual, great book in his typical style, maybe one of his more rude ones gross ones (a bit like Guts). If at some point I finally make a list of really favourite authors, Palahniuk will be somewhere in the beginning.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve started reading &#8220;The gone-away world&#8221; by Nick Harkaway &#8211; I&#8217;m at the middle and the book is pretty good, it has some of the descriptional style of Neal Stephenson, something I definitely like.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue coalition have published <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sds.bg\/public\/files\/publications\/822\/126.pdf\">their program<\/a>, from which the Greens can learn a lot. Clear, precise, logical &#8211; as it should be. It&#8217;s pretty obvious it was written by people that know their job and don&#8217;t just think up strange things like <a href=\"http:\/\/bogomep.eu\/2009\/?p=305\">Bogomil<\/a> &#8211; that if the Greens come to power (which, honestly, is impossible), will just be working for maximal citizen involvement in everything. This is a clear stupidity &#8211; like fighting to have everyone to be able to be a surgeon and cut left and right. As the users don&#8217;t support their own server, that way for a lot of things you need experts that do their job (with the needed degree of control and feedback, which is the thing missing here). To use &#8220;extending the citizen&#8217;s involvement in the government&#8221; as an excuse for the lack of program is retarded &#8211; not naive, just stupid. Seriously, if the people that did this aren&#8217;t clinical cases, I want to know where do they buy their drugs&#8230;<br \/>\n(heh, it&#8217;s also written there directly, &#8220;don&#8217;t expect for the green party to take the government in a country&#8221; &#8211; thank you, oh god of the atheists)<\/p>\n<p>I thought about voting for the Greens for some of the elections but I think I&#8217;ve decided not to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sometimes really feel like all marketroids have some brain damage.
