Looking for a job in Aarhus

Yeah, yet again, I am looking for a job here. Although I enjoyed working in Danske Supermarket, in the textile department, it seems that temporary job has a completely different meaning here. They say you can say no when you can’t go and there is no problem. Of course there is no problem, FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW. They can call anyone else instead of you. And that’s what they did, they never called me again.

So, here I am, using jobnet.dk and google translate, trying to find a job around here. I am not even thinking about something IT-related cause I don’t know Danish and even if I would know some usual phrases, they require you to know it very good.

So, I have found some cleaning jobs, kitchen jobs and pallet-makings but they all seem to have some problems like: you need to know Danish (WTF? I have friends working in cleaning and they don’t know Danish at all), they need you to work full time (I came here to study, you know..) or they want you to be able to work whenever they require you to (and I can’t really do that because of my school). The only interesting offer I saw was from IKEA and I think I will try to pursue it. I just need to update my CV and write a good intention letter.

Uff so today we had a thing at school called media integation which was like an introduction course for our seond semester. I can’t really say I found any new things cause I have worked with audio and video before. The 3D part seemed very interesting but let’s face it.. what can we learn about 3D (implicitely 3d studio max) in just 1h30m ? I am looking forward to the full course though.

Then again, tomorrow we start working with Flash CS3 so it shall be a nice day.

An ugly way of making money out of a blog

I have been following one Romanian blogger for several months now (maybe even an year), ever since he still had some posts with zero comments. He claimed that he was making money online and he can make a living out of it. I thought my self: “hey, what the hell.. he doesn’t get any feedback from his visitors(if there are any). Why would someone want to advertise on his blog?”. I have to mention that his stats were not public so I am only making an assumption about his traffic.

Then, suddenly, I saw around 4 square banners on his sidebar. As far as I could figure it out, he just took those banners from other monetised blogs and put them on his blog, in order to show people that he already has some clients. That seems to have been a good idea since other real advertisers started contacting him and placing banners on his blog. Meanwhile, some of the fake banners started disappearing. Well, as far as I am concerned, from the business point of view, that seems to be a very good way of monetising your blog. Is it ethical to do that? I would say it is not. What do you think?

Project up-date

So, we are almost finished with our project . It really is a satisfaction to work a lot and finally get to the point where you know that you will finish it on time and that the weekend is coming

So, now is the time when I go to bed, wake up a little later and finish the website and the last part of the report (the Design Analysis). On Monday, after our 9AM presenation in front of the class and our 12PM discussion with our supervisor, I will put that report up for grabs. (Funny, “grabs” is underlined with red in this WYSIWYG editor wordpress has, although it is surely written correct).

Well, then again, take care of yourselves and speak soon

Later update (2:01 AM): World Premiere! The website can be seen here . But you still have to wait for the report until Monday

Cat of The Year

I don’t really add viral videos to my blog but I just can’t stop showing you how genious this cat can be This absolutely rules everything I have ever ever ever ever seen

State of Shock!

Ok, so I can’t believe what I just witnessed while coming out of the bus no. 15 at Skjolhojkollegiet! A couple of gypsies staying in a Dacia Super Nova, filled with raffia bags and with licence plate belonging to the Neamt county! What the hell?!

P.S.: Still working on the project so speak soon

Sorry

I am sorry for not updating this blog. At the beginning I didn’t update it due to laziness and now I am very very occupied with our 3rd project so far. We are going to change the design of http://www.aarhus-tandlaege.dk . Don’t worry, that is the easiest part, the report is a lot more difficult! I will keep you updated anyway and will do my best to write more.

Jimmy’s Concert

Last night, in the Waxies Pub, my classmate, Jimmy, had a concert. Just him and his guitar.

He sang covers of very famous songs belonging to groups like The Beatles, Radiohead, Stereophonics, etc. I could only stay for a third of the concert because it started at 11PM and my last bus to Skjoldhoj was at 12:27 AM.. it was a pretty fun concert though and to be sincere, Jimmy really has talent! Here are some pics and click on Read More in order to see his cover of the Beatles song “Help!”.
