Merry ForceIsWithYou

You may have noticed (of course you did) that last week you did not receive an email.

I was very busy with my thesis, a new 3D printer at the office and Star Wars spoilers avoiding techniques. Someone posted Kylo Ren’s face on Facebook and someone studying in UK offered to spoil it. He is still in the hospital. Kidding.. Or am I?!

I always like to say I hate christmas. That’s a lie because it’s cool to hate. The truth is that I can do without the craziness on the streets and in stores but coming together with people I don’t see often and everyone being extra nice is really good!

So merry christmas!

Also you will not get an email next week. It is 1/1/2016. You will not read email and I will not be in the mood to write them.

Moving on…

Here in Greece, we decided that we would miss the global premiere to experience a movie by Christoforos Papakaliatis. So we have the Star Wars premiere right in Christmas Eve. We are doomed… The result is I have not seen it yet.

At least one (and maybe both) of the Js in JJ Abrams now stands for Jedi as the early reviews of the new Star Wars movie are almost universally excellent.

Until you see it (unless you are lucky and you have already seen it), you can read The Force Accounted.

My christmas resolution? If it has not happened by Sunday I am going alone dressed as a Sith lord or Darth Santa (It is the best video ever).

Bye 2015, Hi 2016!

2015 was the best year in history for the average human being but there were people the internet came to hate a lot this year. What happened to them?

You Google shit, right? Here is your Year in Search for 2015. Or the year in Digg. Or what moved us in 2015.

And now that a new year is coming, here is the pessimist’ s guide to the World in 2016.

Broke on Social Media

“Many famous social media stars are too visible to have ‘real’ jobs, but too broke not to.” Get rich or die vlogging: The sad economics of internet fame.

I wanna a fucking driver’ s license!

The government in the Netherlands has clarified that “it is legal for driving instructors to offer lessons in return for sex, as long as the students are over the age of 18. However, it is illegal to offer sex in return for lessons.

I am really bad

Couple of weeks ago I nerded on christmas tree symmetry. I nerded so bad I created a Matlab Script. I know I am the worst, please don’t hate me!

Next time I’ll try to include a guide on GCC Cross Compiling. I learned a lot last week.

If I don’t see you soon, have a nice time this holiday. I will!
