Radek Hulan's international breakout!

Radek Hulan (idiot)
It seems that Radek Hulan (author of "the most advanced and most widely used CMS in existence", according to his words) has at last demonstrated his unique communication skills internationally (and became internationally pwned for the first time in history, as far as I know). That means I no longer have to explain the "Hulan experience" to English-speaking readers - it's now sufficient to provide the link above and let everyone experience his "screeming" for himself.

Note that the technical stuff is rather irrelevant in this context (although this one is funny if you know what DIFF is), just read how he expresses himself.

P.S: Please note I have the full moral right to make my opinions about Mr. Hulan public because I wrote better CMS than him, I have higher IQ, more money and bigger penis, which I'll use to make beautiful love to his daughter.

Compulsory obsessive something

Today, I went to visit my mother. She's an artist and she can never throw anything to the trash bin. She keeps everything and her flat looks like it. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of medical condition.

This is one of her many closets:

Night watch

At last, I had time to test the capabilities of our new Canon during night-time shooting (from our terrace). I'm not saying it's something gallery-worthy, but considering it was without the tripod, I'm rather satisfied. (As always, click for Flickr page with large versions. Also see the neighboring photos on Flickr.)

The inspirations of James Horner

James Horner is rather famous film music composer (mainly because of TITANIC, which is not one of his best works). He is also known for "borrowing" material from himself and other composers. And sometimes, I'm afraid, he goes too far. Listen to main titles from the movie Red Heat, supposedly "composed by James Horner". Now, listen to this music, composed by Sergei Prokofiev in 1938 (the interesting part starts around 1:00 mark).

Shame on you, James! If you heard the music from Red Heat closing titles, it's even more similar...

All your base are belong to Google

Something wonderful is happening. Watch base.google.com. I got in there a few minutes ago. Now it says "Forbidden 403". Official unveiling should take place soon (hours, not days).

UPDATE: I guess it will be days rather than hours before anyone will see it live again...

Never Say Never Again

Have a look at this rather well written NY Times article about Major Zeman and the purported remake. I must say I am not very enthusiastic about the idea of milking and destroying Zeman's legacy for a quick buck.

Warning: The article also features opinions of Jan "go fuck yourself, I know Glasgow" Culik. I recommend skipping the last three paragraphs.

Something fishy going on?

Karolina told me that she forgot to take the birth control pill yesterday. But I shouldn't worry because the chances of her getting pregnant are "one in 100". Everyone remember: 1 in 100, October 22.

And I thought she no longer likes me...

And now for something completely different: Autumn is here and the forests above Vysocany station are b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

UPDATE: Also available as 1024x768 wallpaper (Albert, not Karolina).

Thanks, BMG

If I understand this royalty statement correctly, it seems that during Jan-Jun 2005, I earned minus 30 Crowns (about $1.20) from BMG for them selling CDs containing my music. Do I have to pay them for the privilege right now?

I guess this is proof that downloading kills music.
