Link love

On the hopelessness of pulling content from the interwebs
In the last couple of weeks I had at least two cases where I saw a (provocative) post come up in my feedreader, click trough to read the entire piece (BTW, partial feeds just suck!), just to find that the owner removed the post. The first was from the DynDNS blog named “Open Dialogue” (apparently…

Music from Hungary
This is slightly off-topic: a collection (in the form of YouTube playlist) of songs by Hungarian bands (mostly older, because I hate new stuff :-)) which I love and find inspiring. I plan to to a similar playlist for Romanian songs/bands, however I’m not that well versed in the topic as to not to miss…
