We live as long as we fly
Leonid Kaganov is going off about genetically modified foods and obscurantism.
I'm generally "For" it too. Because, to the best of my knowledge, I believe that traditional store-bought foods, stuffed with all sorts of crap, are 100% harmful, while you can't definitively say the same about GMOs. Although I am far from lleo's optimism.
I’ve read the "Witcher" series by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. They’re quite well-known books among fans of science fiction and fantasy, I should note. Andrzej is the Polish equivalent of Andrei, in case anyone hadn’t guessed.
I liked the books quite a lot, despite them being fantasy.
Secret agents have set up a new server in Latvia, where I've got my own little spot. Now we'll be living twice as cool.
Too bad it's Linux and not Windows, otherwise I'd really go to town. I wonder, does Windows XP run alright under a virtual machine in Linux?
I wrote a beautiful and inspired post yesterday. It was about how I discovered my passport had expired a month ago, and how the US State Department equates the entire population of Latvia with terrorists. But the post vanished somewhere, and the girls at the embassy on the phone today were extremely sweet and polite. So I won't write anything bad. Everything is fine, except for the fact that it takes a month to make a passport. Or 4 days for $50, but I'm very greedy. Especially when there is basically no rush anyway.
