Google Wave

If  you haven't heard yet, Google is planning to launch this new service called Wave later this year or at least that's what they said at Google I/O, few days ago. But first, what exactly is Wave?
Google calls it a new way of communication, or how it would look a communication service if it was invented today (by the way, e-mail was invented even before the internet, in 1965). And starting from this idea, here comes Wave: An AJAX based communication platform that actually changes the way we IM, chat and e-mail.
To make the long story even longer, watch the clip on youtube or go on wave.google.com to check for more details.

 

It didn't happened at University of Essex, but in Paris, France. At first I thought it was one of those Japanese pranks with a French soundtrack, but on a second view it seems that this actually a band, a real song.
What I find really amusing is the face of the people on the street, which almost broke their neck watch the beauties.

It's an interesting marketing concept, main target being male market...

Happy Easter

After a long period of keeping both of the blogs down, I decided that having a blog it's actually a good idea to let other know more about my activities at uni. The posting is intended to reduce the time spent on communicating with lots of people home or everywhere in the world.

Since today a part of Christianity celebrates Easter, Happy Easter and may you have a joyful break.

Getting started

Imi cer scuze pentru intarzierea acestui post, insa prima saptamana a fost prima de evenimente si timpul pentru a-mi verfica adresa de e-mail a fost detul de limitat.
LUNI: am ajuns la aprox. 14 la universitate, am mers la Main Accommodation Office pentru a-mi ridica cheia si m-am cazat. In acelasi etaj mai sunt inca 12 persoane(un american, 2 nigerieni, chinezi, japonezi, si un indian). Am dat peste inca aproape 10 romani care studiaza la Essex(insa niciunul din Timis :( )
MARTI: Workshop: how to improve your study skills. + Accommodation Talk turul bibliotecii
MIERCURI: Inregistrarea, English Language Test(nu era obligatoriu pentru mine deoarece aveam certificat de limba din Ro, insa doar cei care participa la test pot beneficia de cursuri gratuite de imbunatatire a limbii).
JOI: Workshop: taking notes at the letures, apoi intalnirea de departament si pranzul oferit de dept. + turul laboratoarelor pentru studentii din cadrul CES.
VINERI: Inregistrarea la MEdical Center, crearea unui cont bancar la Lloyds TSB.
SAMBATA: plimbare prin Colchester, descoperirea celui mai minunat magazin Poundland(orice produs la 1 pound - nu produse de proasta calitate, dimpotriva calitate superioara). Targul destinat bobocilor(Freshers Fair) in care am avut ocazia sa ma inscriu la cateva cluburi(societies, si anume: Computer Society, Entrepreneurship Society si Model UN.

In acest moment inca nu detin un laptop, insa sper ca in curand sa achizitionez unul, avand astfel posibiltatea sa postez mai multe detalii pe blog.
