Update: I took Amber from mydaysof.com. The old theme was too dark.

A few minutes ago I felt the urge to create another blog on Typepad. I don’t know why, but I felt that. After creating the user name and all the rest I said: “Hey, what am I doing? I already have a blog and I don’t even post on that one too often. Why would I need another one?”

That’s why I decided to stop making blogs (I have a few others besides this one, on which I haven’t posted in ages!) and concentrate on {function:geekesque}. So, here I am once more, ranting and hopefully writing something interesting pretty soon.

P.S: I think I’m gonna steal Mihai Dragan’s theme, Amber, pretty soon.

Astazi, in drum spre casa, mai exact la statia de metrou Unirii, am vazut pe “minunatele televizoare” o stire care s-a derulat destul de rapid: angajatii Metrorex si nu mai stiu ce firma vor dona sange. Sa inceapa sa prinda chestia cu CSR-ul si asta sa fie o manevra de a arata ce baieti de treaba sunt sau chiar vor sa faca ceva okay pt oameni?

Partea care mi s-a parut interesanta a fost cea in care au aratat cateva imagini cu donatori. Desigur, acei donatori erau tot din angajatii de rand, nu am vazut pe nimeni care sa para a lucra intr-o pozitie de conducere in Metrorex.

In orice caz, ramane de vazut daca au intentii bune si cei din conducerea Metrorex si nu doar ii arunca la inaintare pe conductori si pe vanzatoarele de la casa de bilete pentru a arata ca-s responsabili din punct de vedere social.

I was looking for some nice GTK2 themes on gnome-look.org, and during a couple of weeks I noticed the fact that originality is starting to make place to plagiarism and building upon others’ work. I admit the fact that I made a theme in June or July, using some elements from other themes, but at this moment the number of low quality wallpapers/GTK themes/icon themes is drastically increasing.

From my point of view, Kim Kahns is one of the best theme designers. I was always waiting for him to bring some new theme, with all the great details he put into his work. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have too much time anymore for this kind of thing. So, my dear Linuxists… where’s the art and where’s the creativity? I would like to see more persons like Kim, persons who can inspire and can create beautiful works. Things that are original. Things that don’t copy Vista or Mac (although I like its style:D) and can bring a new meaning to the looks of Linux distributions and especially to Ubuntu.

I am going to start creating a new theme pretty soon, hopefully something from scratch. Will you do the same thing?

In online-ul romanesc sunt foarte multi tineri, cu o medie de varsta de 22 de ani, sa zicem. Totusi, stau si ma gandesc daca vom fi la fel de entuziasmati la vreo 30 de ani, si daca vom continua sa fim la fel de “jucausi” si creativi la varsta aceea. Cat randament poate da o persoana care se considera deja plictisita de ceea ce face? Care ar fi modalitatile de mentinere a creativitatii, veseliei si visarii tipice varstei noastre? Chiar sunt curios sa aflu raspunsurile la intrebarile acestea. Ce credeti?
