Are you still in college Paasky? If you like living in the Netherlands I could easily get you to work for my company. We are looking for BI consultants.
Let me know ok.
This internship (ends 23.12) and then about a month of school bureaucracy and I should have the diploma in my hands. If the subject interests me I'll let you know for sure :)

Even if you don't like the subject drop me a line anyway. You do have driver licence don't you?  Company car comes standard.
That goes for everybody has an interest in Technology or Business Consultancy and just finished University or Bachelor. Drop me a PM if you think you interested to work in that line of business.

Sorry if this violates any no recruitment rules.

So I finally got myself to restart my long-dormant hobby, playing the piano. Back at folks I would have a real piano that I would have permission to move into my place, but I have not bothered with it - yet. Instead, I have an old (20+ years) but good Roland KR-500 keyboard (complete with stand and pedals), but even that has been unused for a few years. Alas, some keys do not work unless I use more Force than Darth Vader. So I start googling for the nearest Roland service centre's contact info, wondering whether they still have the spare parts and know how to repair my 'board.

By sheer luck, I run into a DIY article (or a forum post, rather) detailing how to (try to) fix keyboard keys that are mute, play only very loud or very silent, or only intermittently, or somesuch problem. It says that the most common reason for these are simply dust and small pieces of trash that have gotten on the electrical connections. And luckily, the poster tells how he did the trick for an old Roland.

I ponder for a few hours, but then decide that at least, I can tell the service centre if I discover some de-solded connections or visibly broken parts. Screwdriver at hand, aided by a single forum post and a couple of YouTube videos (of a totally different model with completely different key mechanism, as I later find out), I plunge into the deep end.

Three hours later, dust and foreign objects have been removed, the keyboard has been put back together and works at least mechanically.

Ignition.




IT'S WORKING! The problem keys sound now as they should, and I just saved myself a couple of hundred euros. :)

Today i fell asleep on the train, a woman sitting in front of me was listening to my conversation that i was having on my phone at the start of my trip and was kind enough to wake me up at my stop. Always nice to meet a helpful stranger.

Lol! This ^ reminded me of something that happened to me some years ago. I was on a bus and this old lady sitting next to me fell asleep. She woke up later (apparently she had missed her stop during the nap) glaring at me as if saying "Why didn't you wake me up?!"  ::)

happens to me all the time. I live on the end-station of the subway.
after 12 years I've developed an internal clock, i can't sit down on the subway without falling asleep, but i always wake up at the last stop.

Last two weeks i woke up a guy that was really drunk made sure he got off right. And a little 10 year old gangstah kid who missed his stop.
I see were you are trying to reach: "how can a 17 year old kid have such a thinking like this? why doesnt he wants to be like normal teens who whana get rich? and his plan actually makes sense, but is too damn revolutionary and good at the same time than is still doubthfull if it works..." - Damaso

Yesterday I went to my first eye checkup after the surgery and even thought I know it the best myself, it was still very heartwarming to hear the surgeon who performed the operation on me saying that my eyesight is excellent now. Now I just need to get my drivers license renewed because I do not need glasses anymore. :)

Other than that... happy or not I got bunch of games to play and very little time. I've got Tropico 4, Dead Island, Deux Ex, Red Orchestra 2 and so on... christ. So much to play so little time! But weekend is on its way, so maybe I have the time to play some of those. :)

This morning i collided with somebody when i came around the corner..I was a bit dazzled...when became a bit aware again, i was sitting on the ground, with my hand supporting on something round
Soft
Cushy
It felt nice

*looks at what it is
*sees how my hand is supporting on a girls boob wich is a big D cup...The one i collided with...

She starts to laugh when she is still lying on the ground like that...  ;D

Unfortunaly...her BF behind her did not liked that... But she was pissed at him because he dint do anything to help  ;D so my hand did not left that boob for 10 more seconds  ;D

Helped her up, recieved a thank you and her phone number

BEST MORNING EVAR!
