A few months ago, during a visit to the Corvin's Castle (Hunedoara) I had the pleasure of assisting to a wonderful medieval performance. In the spotlight there were two groups, "Hunedoara Knight's Order" and "Media? Knight's Order" which delighted the spectators with medieval fights, dances or various other acts.
Is There Anyone Out There?
The Orphanage
A few months ago I posted some photos taken at Banffy Residence in Nusfalau. It was a wonderful trip and I felt very tangled with the history of the place. When I came back home, I was very delighted about the captured images, yet after a few days I became very much annoyed that most of them did not seem to be worthy enough.
Fiery Dusk
As I wrote in my last post, there comes a time when the need to sort things down becomes impossible to ignore. Everything seems to be flying around, thoughts are messed up, fragments of present seem to be confused with those from past - and the ability to focus on something becomes heavily impaired.

One of the most beautiful things regarding life is the way everything changes. While the prospect of being part of something new does sound very appealing, sometime it also brings a bit of uncertainty, insecurity and why not, confusion. But the result is usually worth all the troubles!
Lost toy
During the same trip to the Banffy Residence in Nusfalau, we found out that one of the old buildings of the residence served as an orphanage during the communism period. Nowadays it seemed more or less abandoned, with no signs of life - but still bearing the marks of its old inhabitants.

Last.fm API - gathering artist tags with Ruby
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
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
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.
