One of our sightseeing trips took us to Nusfalau, in Salaj county. I found some references to a Banffy castle here, though quite vague, it definitively seemed like a trip we didn't want to miss.

Ever wondered what kind of music you listen to? Last.fm (and Audioscrobbler underneath) allows users to track their listening habits and find some other bands/songs that they might like.
Mysterious Javascript Bug
By Cristi - posted on August 16th, 2007 and tagged under
Near the end of the day, as I was getting ready to wrap everything up and prepare the project for the next step, I just noticed that Internet Explorer and Opera were both ignoring my Javascript file. Gecko browsers seem to be doing fine, with no reported errors - what could it be? Maybe I forgot a console.log or something.
Drupal - the Way to Go
By Cristi - posted on August 13th, 2007
Despite the propagandistic title, I must admit that I'm very impressed by Drupal. I knew it was a wonderful content management platform before, but I wasn't very sure how good it will perform as a blog.
Not All Antivirus Tools Are Equal
By Cristi - posted on August 10th, 2007
A recent test at untangle presented some concerning results regarding antivirus solutions. After testing some of the most popular tools on the market, with a sample of 18 viruses (not sure how relevant this sample is), only three candidates managed to detect all the viruses: Kaspersky, Norton and ClamAV. Even more surprising is the fact that one of the contestants detected less than 10% of the viruses.
My Own Stranger

I always liked those kinds of photos where there is a human subject, yet no identity; this can be done by photographing the subject from the back, from the side or even photographing them from the front with a lot of light coming from their back (note to self: I'll have to try this as well). Maybe it's just me, but an anonymous subject brings mystery - and mystery is always nice to have.
Crossing the Bridge - Drupal?
By Cristi - posted on August 9th, 2007
It's been some time my last post, but I won't complain about the lack of time or anything like that. I'm thinking about making a couple of changes to the blog; this might also include moving away from Mephisto.
Javascript: Prototype.js and Setting Attributes
By Cristi - posted on August 1st, 2007 and tagged under
This certainly looks very trivial, but after reading (I admit, it was more like skimming) the prototype.js documentation, I couldn't find a way of doing this. Of course it can be done just by using plain Javascript, but I really wanted to take advantage of the Prototype "abstraction" layer and avoid any possible cross-browser issues.
