On Saturday I went to see Interstellar. I had heard many opinions about it. Dodo was praising it to heavens. Some colleagues said it was boring and way too long. Other complained about the *spoiler*. Other said it was very good. First let me describe the Swiss

I have already been to three Code Retreats in Cluj and I have always enjoyed them. Now I had the chance to go to one in Zurich. This one was just as much fun as the previous ones, maybe even a bit more. One of the biggest differences
politics
On the 2nd of November, in Romania there were the presidential elections. It was the first time for me that I could vote for this, because last time I wasn't 18 years old yet. Maybe I simply didn't pay attention to this before,

Yesterday, in Richterswill, there was a turnip festival (or something like that), called Räbechilbi. At the festival there was a parade going around the village center with various figurines lighted up with carved up turnips lanterns. It was pretty cool. One thing that I found interesting
voting
The first round of presidential elections was on Sunday and, because my parents were here, visiting me, we decided to rent a car through Mobility (which is a quite nice service) and go voting. Because the Romanian government decided for various reasons (such as the fact that

Also, I just discovered a new very useful feature of my laptop. It doubles as a substitute for a second person to hold up the sides of the bed while I'm attaching them in their right place. That is money well spent. And now I have one table,

Two weeks ago was the Knabenschiessen, a Zurich holiday that lasts for three days and when you get half a day off from work. The main attraction is a shooting competition for teenagers (I'm so old :( ), but there is also a big fair,

Acrylamid by default doesn't have image galleries. As I occasionally like to post the images that I take, especially now that I'm visiting nice places in Zurich and the surrounding area, this is quite annoying, as I don't

This month I have made a big change in my life, I switched jobs and I moved to Zürich. The Swiss are way more rigurous and strict then the Romanian people. Within 14 days of arriving in Switzerland you have to register yourself at Kreisburo (if you live in

I have just moved my blog to Acrylamid. I have been planning this move for a long time, because Wordpress is way too large, slow and has too many features I don't need. I wanted to be able to blog using just Markdown, use Git for versioning and
