Obama is so very much in touch with reality. It will be such a good change if he becomes the president of USA.

Old people have a duty toward youngsters to tell them about life - to tell them what made them happy and what sad, what mistakes they did and how to avoid them, why being wealthy is futile and that happiness comes when you expected less, how life sucks but it is worth living.

Do we really have to make the same mistakes over and over again? Are the humans more inclined to try something even if they know the chance of failure is 99%?

It’s been quiet in here for the last week or so but there is a very good reason for that. For those of you who don’t know yet, I’m back at the Lodge (worked here until January last year). 

This week was the first full week in the lodge and it’s been a very busy one: lots of projects and an entire new website almost out of the door.

I must admit being back feels a bit weird and it might look like, somehow, I’m negating myself. It’s not the case.

But it feels like a new beginning. Did you ever wished you went back to school with the intelligence and experience you have now? Well, that’s exactly how I feel.

God pressed Ctrl+Z Command+Z.

Thank you!

… it’s been interesting and better that I’ve expected; ok, maybe apart from the terrible cold I had this week.

And it has been challenging: I’ve had to pick up a lot of new techniques and technologies and had to scratch my head quite often when reading some of the code - the guys that are working on the project are pretty clever.

But it’s been all good and, most of all, I’m enjoying what I’m doing. I didn’t feel so good since I’ve started using Labview back in the Uni days. Ruby feels very natural to me and the more I learn the more I like it.  I’ve got to get my hand dirty with Rails services, Rails testing, Ferret and Capistrano libraries and Selenium, which by the way is f***ing awesome.

Also, my personal project Rubynia.ro is going well. I didn’t manage to do much on it this month but I will have lots of stuff to write about. BTW, Rubynia.ro is a initiative to make available Ruby resources in Romanian.
