LexArrow - it’s in your mind…

Here’s what happened to me in the last 7 months (not ordered chronologically). Me and Cori decided to get married. The religious ceremony will take place on August 21, 2010 (you can’t imagine how hard it is to find an available restaurant for a wedding party in Pitesti). The civil ceremony will happen as soon as we buy a flat (an endeavor which should finish by the end of this month), so we will be probably officially married around October 15 this year. I found out that my CNP – Personal Numeric Code (something like Social Security number in the US), which should be unique it is actually not. Fortunately, after 2 months of wandering around several Romanian State Institutions I found out my number is correct and the other person who had it must change it. This is not over though, as my CNP appears with the other person’s name in a credit database and has to be erased. This will take around one month (they told me 15 days, but coming from a State Institution, I know better). I have been on my best-ever holiday in Turkey this summer. My server project got very complex and is now on hold until we buy the house and get married. I need time, peace and quiet to really think this project through. I passed PMI audit for CAPM exam, which I have to take until the end of May next year. Overall, it has been a good period but very though sometimes. Cheers!

For those of you who were wondering why I didn’t post anything in a loooong time (if there are any ), the answer is simple: the Internet is not free (as in speech). Why? Because every time I find something interesting to write about, I start thinking about the future consequences of my posts could have upon me and I simply give up writing. Why? Because everything I put on the www can be viewed by someone. The search engines suck up every information you put out there. I googled my name and the only thing I didn’t find about me is my foot size. And don’t even get me started with social media! Facebook sells your personal information and your account is not fully deleted even if you’re dead… Who’s fault is it? Definitely mine. I knew these risks since I started fiddling with the Internet and it was the choice I made, a necessary evil to stay connected. Everything can be hacked, cracked, indexed…It’s a matter of “When? not of “If?”. Even your wireless network can be hacked in 10 minutes (yes, even if you put mac access filtering). The things above are just the tip of the iceberg. Stay connected! MuHaHaHa!!!
