Another Version of Proposal

Yes, and finally - I've managed to fix a few issues, noted by my supervisor and re-submitted it again. Please, can I go to the panel now? :)
Anyways, yesterday, I was reading some very serious government regulations about electricity saving, and was quite unipressed with the mistakes and typos in them. How can it be, that we, students, are demanded to write perfectly, not only in grammar, but in style, whereas the government can't bother less?

On a side note: accordding to internet (ha!) technical writer is one of the most highly paid professions. I wonder why? Do people really like to read that much? But I guess I'm not going that way again. It really sells your brains...

Relativity of time

Most of the work is done in a tiny percentage of time. The rest of it we do nothing. Probably don't even think.

Journeys and Destinations

I was thinking today (yeah, I still do sometimes, for practice) of the futility of human life. Probably, the result of hearing on the radio that NASA managed to take photographs of back side of the Sun. I mean, cool, why do we need to see it? As the radio DJ said, if we will actually see it, it will mean that the things went really wrong! But we can see it on the photographs when the things are still ok.

But it's very inspiring: somebody came up with the idea that we need to see it, spend LOTS OF money on it, and I'm sure all the participants severely enjoyed the project. And now the whole world can see our greatest Star in its full glory:

Obviously, we are all excited and happy about it.
And I am...ahh - soo envious!!! How do people come up with these ideas! I mean all these big dreams... Imagine how fantastically interesting the life can be when it is filled with all this journeys to fantastic destinations???

Myths are back

I did not manage to finish "The Hero With A Thousand Faces" (it has scary pictures starting from the second half). But now I'm developing using Vaadin framework, and - voila - Vaadin is a mythological goddess (how did she find me?). Well, the good thing: she is supposed to help the hero acquire the knowledge required to reach his/her life goals. So far Vaadin helps :)

Brain Blockage

Judging by the fact that last time I was here more than a month ago and nothing(I mean NOTHING) has happened since then... I guess I need rest

Computers are useless. They can only give you answers

This is Pablo Picasso's quote. I wonder why he said this?
I prefer questions

Make me think that you're the one that I adore...

"Comedy as satire is acceptable, as fun it is a pleasant haven of escape, but the fairy tale of happiness ever after cannot be taken seriously; it belongs to the never-never land of childhood, which is protected from the realities that will become terribly known soon enough..."[1] Our lives are in general hopeless - we will anyway die some day - that's the tragedy of a human being. But we do enjoy our lives, don't we? That happinness of being alive, being able to do things that give sense to live... Making yourself the hero of your own adventure. Let's rephrase: - Life, LET me think that you're the one that I adore! :-) 1) J. Campbell. The Hero With A Thousand Faces.

Declaration

"You may charge me with murder — or want of sense -
(we are all of us weak at times):
But the slightest approach to a false pretence
was never among my crimes!" (Lewis Carrol. The Hunting of the Snark (1874))
