People born today age four times slower.

In other completely random news:

• School’s out for a week!
• Konvert2Ogg, the KDE project I’m working on, has a new mission statement and code and GUI design. I am especially satisfied with the way the singleton / object factory (as taught by Alexandrescu) has turned out. With the factory and the base classes in place, adding support for Oggenc took only a few minutes.
  
  Wait for version 0.2 sometime in the next few weeks.

7 Things I Didn’t Know Last Month… (September)

… about myself:

1. My two favorite scents are that of rain and that of melons.
2. I find it a lot easier to talk with people behind a wall of electronics than face-to-face. (bad bad bad!)
3. I feel a certain amount of sadistic pleasure when saying ‘Bună ziua’ to neighbors of mine who speak Russian only.
4. I like how British English sounds, but I never use it in written.

…and about the world:

1. Telepathy _does_ work, but it only gives glimpses of someone else’s emotions. Full thoughts are impossible to discern with an untrained mind’s eye.
2. Your teeth will go bad no matter how often you brush them or how often you visit the dentist.
3. School bureaucracy is easy to fool.
