The castle

After cutting down a lime tree last week (actually after my dad done that), I've noticed a beautiful castle-like shape in the middle of the tree.

Cover better than the original

A cover of Britney Spears's song Criminal done by Kawehi  that sounds way better than the original.
Way to go Kawehi! The song is done only with one mic and one pedal.

 

A venit primavara si in gradina mea

Desi 1 martie a trecut de ceva timp, abia dupa usoara incalzire, dupa topirea zapezii, simt ca e primavara (mai ales ca azi, 22 martie - da, abia acum- , am vazut ghiocei prima oara anul asta).
Totusi, in gradina mea am cateva branduse plantate din toamna, care au ceva curaj si s-au gandit sa iasa la suprafata. Abia s-au trezit ele, dar abia astept sa le vad inflorite :)

UPDATE [26.martie.2012]
Intr-o saptamana brandusele mele deja au inflorit :D
Urmatorul update va fi cand vor inflori si cele albe si albastre :)

Si ultimul update: dupa inca o saptamana, au inflorit si brandusele mele albe si albastre :)

The New Epson Stylus SX235W - A Smart Printer For Home

The new Epson Stylus SX235W is a simple, everyday all-in-one printer that is ideal for small home installations, for students or others with limited budgets. It targets clients with low volumes of monthly printing, without any great expectations in terms of speed or printing quality.

The key features are:
- neat design, particulary when closed
- wireless connection as standard
- print wirelessly from range devices
- it is supported by CISS Ink System for Epson

Consumables
You can print up to 95% cheaper if you use the CISS Ink Sysytem for Epson Stylus S22 / SX125 / SX130 / SX230 / SX235W that is available on CISSmarket.com

Design
This printer is decked out completely in black plastic and it certainly has a smaller footprint when closed than many others (it's a bit bigger all round than a landscape A4 sheet, but it is still discreet). Flick forward the dust flap at the back of the machine and raise the telescopic paper support and you have a feed tray where you can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper, or a stack of photo blanks. The control panel itself is conspicuous by having no LCD display. It gets by quite well with five LED indicators, including two for the wireless link, and six buttons, for power, Wi-Fi, a network status print, black and colour copies, and job cancel.
