Sparkica’s zemlog hello world!

by

I decided to write a log, well, sort-of-a Captain’s log about the things I learned on my way to eternity in beyond. Because I currently work for Zemanta and explore new territories, this log will be called zemlog, what else?! Beware, zemlogs may or may not include all tech and geek nonsense as well as some basic findings about Life, Love and the Universe. If you think you can handle all this, you’re more than welcome to learn as I learn, laugh when I laugh and faceplam when I facepalm. Otherwise, GTFOH. Or not :bumpy:

Remember: If everything else fails, use humor. Usually it doesn’t kill anyone. If it does, it doesn’t matter if you failed. You’ll have bigger problem.

 

Today’s gems

  • Google webfonts: font-a-stic, I already incorporated them into this blog… Cool, right? Well, have to find the best combination so I won’t need the Enigma to decipher widget titles :D

Expeditions

First Expedition into GoogleRefine:

A short trip in the field of regular expressions:

  • I really should obtain and use O’Reilly’s book on regular expressions.
  • I like them.
  • They’re useful.
  • I like patterns.

Thoughts on Life, Love and the Universe

The strangest things happen when you don’t expect them. While waiting for plane to Brussels at Frankfurt I saw John Malkovich. I didn’t make this up. He actually was in Europe! :)

On the same pic you can see the guy in the front resembling Frasier‘s brother Dr. Niles Crane from TV show Frasier.

COD: boredom

by

You may be dead and you don’t even know it.

If you’re not having fun at least 5 minutes a day, you’re dead. You think you’re tired, but you’re just bored – bored with your boss, your gf/bf, life in general.

I’m not dead…. anymore. I said “I quit.” and “So long, suckers!” I draw. I run. I laugh. Now it’s your turn.

Silence creeps on you

by

How many types of silence do you know? I know two. Awkward and non-awkward. Guess which type is in effect on on this blog… The third one, doh!
My English is a bit rusty these days… a lot of humidity in the air, you know. Also… I’m taking some classes in How-to-be-silent-with-a-style. How am I doing so far? :D

Don’t worry, next classes include How-to-write-a-blog-post-and-bore-everyone-to-death lessons! Yeeehaaaw! :mrgreen:

Need a friend? Breed one.

Identity problem

Who’s afraid of spider(s)? I am.

Maybe you’ll notice, maybe you won’t. This thingy was made digitally — ok, background was scanned, everything else was made on computer. I even made a special font today (out of my handwriting), but it sucks. Have to make another one. You wonder why? I wanted to post something, but the scanner is not available at the moment, so … this was the only reasonable solution … or not to publish anything, which would be even more reasonable :lol:
