Several times now we keep going to JJ Dinasty in Oakdale to have some dinner. The place is pretty quiet and offers chinese and japanese food. I, almost always, get japanese ( sushi, sashimi or roll ) and I think they are pretty good. They also have a very good green tea for free. If you like this type of food you should try the Oakdale Roll from the special rolls. So far everybody that have tried it, says it is good. Even the people that don’t eat this kind of food in general. Also Yakitori is a nice chicken appetizer that reminds me of bulgarian shishche :) The place is not expencive and I would suggest it to everybody.

Today, I ran across an interesting article about the “surprises inside Mirosoft Vista’s EULA”. The guys from Microsoft don’t play games. From now on, if you want to use Vista trough a virtual machine ( like vmware, parallels or virtualpc ), you will have to own one of the top two most expensive editions of the OS. Also even then you will not be able to play any DRMed WMA or use in general any protected media… That’s ok. I’ll keep NOT using Windows.

In support of Kaladan I switched to full rss feeds. Also, thanks to that, I figured that my short rss feeds were not even working…

This year, we did pretty bad. There were around 60 teams and almost all of them solved at least 2 problems. We were on 43rd place. Shame, shame… I don’t care.

I just came back from work. We are waiting for Rado to show up and wa are going to Belport to see Koceto because he is going back for Bulgaria. To stay there. At least we are changing the clocks tonight so we have one extra hour for sleep for tomorrows ACM contest.

  • "The highest good is not to seek to do good,
    but to allow yourself to become it.
    The ordinary person seeks to do good things,
    and finds that they can not do them continually.

    The Master does not force virtue on others,
    thus she is able to accomplish her task.
    The ordinary person who uses force,
    will find that they accomplish nothing.

    The kind person acts from the heart,
    and accomplishes a multitude of things.
    The righteous person acts out of pity,
    yet leaves many things undone.
    The moral person will act out of duty,
    and when no one will respond
    will roll up his sleeves and uses force.

    When the Tao is forgotten, there is righteousness.
    When righteousness is forgotten, there is morality.
    When morality is forgotten, there is the law.
    The law is the husk of faith,
    and trust is the beginning of chaos.

    Our basic understandings are not from the Tao
    because they come from the depths of our misunderstanding.
    The master abides in the fruit and not in the husk.
    She dwells in the Tao,
    and not with the things that hide it.
    This is how she increases in wisdom." - Lao Tzu (老子)
