Choose your masters carefully
This is a clip banned from Romanian televisions because of some bull shit reasons. It suggests that red communism is bad. But if you think about it there is no major difference no matter what the system is. In any system the wolves seems to rule over the sheep !
My Black Killer
My black cat I just took home from the streets



First day it was so weak and with fever. It just slept in a corner for allot of hours.
Yahoo Messenger Online Status
For a project of mine I needed a free script to show the visitors if I am online or not on yahoo messenger.
Hardly I found a decent script for this and I said maybe others will need to know about it.

Linux Mint 7.0 – Configure XChat IRC
This application is installed by default under Menu > Network
When opening application it automatically connects to #linuxmint channel.
To change your nickname go to xChat > Network List

I have to connect to UnderNet network. For this I select it, press Edit and add more servers (servers that are near you. Anyway the ideea is more servers to try to connect to, more chances to connect quicker when the network is busy !)

Add also some
Here you can also add the channels that you want to connect to automatically.
Why I need this to be always ready to connect to is that there are many situations where other means of communications are down. Remember September the 11th 2001 ? IRC channels where the only one that managed to stay up when everybody was trying to connect by phone or messengers with other peoples.
Some months ago there was a little earthquake (4-5′). Tried to contact my family by phone … not a chance. All mobile networks were down in the area. That time it was eassy to get news about family via Yahoo Messenger. But that was a small event. Imagine on more important events … is always good to have all communication means ready to be used !
