SWTOR?
You might remember that sometime ago i was really enthusiastic about Star Wars: The Old Republic game, but now, after having played for 5 months, i believe that i have a number of complaints about the game: Population The game is losing subscribers, fast. Bioware manager to lose approximately 400.000 subscribers in 4 months (going from 1.6 million to 1.2 million). It’s not like i worry about Bioware’s financials, but Star Wars is supposed to [...]

Why pirating is the only option
I will start with a small disclaimer. This discussion is hypothetical and under no means i am suggesting that you SHOULD be dealing with copyrighted material Now, let’s see. This post is about the recent developments: Megaupload is taken down, Filesonic is turning legit, etc. And to be honest, i am not crazy about piracy, but i am all for convenience. And nobody can deny that downloading (especially when it comes to movies and TV shows) [...]

Lessons learned
So, sometimes, too much automation is not a good thing Today i decided to try a WordPress plugin, which pulls tweets out of the official Twitter site, and presents them on your WordPress blog. It’s not a bad idea, but somehow the implementation went kaboom, for a number of reasons: When the plugin got the twits from Twitter, it inserted them in the blog, as a new post. And this was the first side effect, [...]

Is this good or?
Apparently my Windows boxes at home decided that IPv4 is too lame, and they should work on IPv6 mode After rebooting the media box, i tried to ping it to see if it was up. Windows shows: Not that i am not impressed, but i would love my network to show less independence!

Let SWTOR begin
After being not impred with Rift, and ultimately bored with World of Warcraft, I decided to give SWTOR (Star Wars: The Old Republic) a chance I finally have the game running, and will (as usual) play a melee dual-wielding character Here she is, looking mean and all:

Similarities and differences
Disclaimer: If you find the post below offensive, check your humor sense! Recently i got to hang out with some new colleagues, coming from Ukraine. Here is a summary: Ukrainian people love their tea. They drink tea at breakfast, at lunch, at dinner, in between and all over. Highlight moment: Ukrainian colleague combining a steak with tea From what i understood, Kiev seems to be a “smaller” Athens. Traffic, pollution, unemployment, non-existent infrastructure. If i could speak [...]

Two and a half book suggestions
If you are a fan of Dan Brown and his work (Angels and Demons, The Davinci Code, The Lost Symbol, etc) then i have some suggestions for you. I have recently started reading 3 authors whose work is quite close to Dan Brown’s. In a nutshell, a mix of archaeology, modern technology, conspiracies, secret societies, 3 letter initials and such. So, if you are into this genre, here are some suggestions Nina Wilde The “Nina Wilde” series [...]

Stupid, incompetent, or both
Before i move to Sweden (back in Greece), i used to own a bike, a Yamaha R1 Background: In Greece we have to pay an annual tax for any vehicle we own. There is a formula to calculate the amount, but to keep things simple let’s just focus on the tax for the Yamaha R1. It is about 120 Euro (per year). Back to our story The bike was stolen in November 2007. I have [...]

ISC2 Exam
I have been a member of ISC2 for a number of years, but only today i was asked to participate in the examination process as a proctor. Here are some observations for the day: It still seems a bit “funny” that the CISSP and the CISSP Concentration exams are paper based. In case you don’t know how this works: You get a booklet with the questions and an answer sheet (that resembles a huge Lotto [...]
