Sky Cry

News

2009-03-04T23:09:16Z

While I have been reading my friends list (mostly news and comics, to be honest), I haven't been updating my LJ for a long time now.

A lot of things have happened since... since I don't know when. So here are some news for those, who care:

Hey, I'm 23 already! Thanks to all, who still remembers me, some have pleasantly surprised me. Personally, I'm not the person to care about traditions and rituals, I'm the kind of guy that would rather give no present, than give a present that would be kept on a shelf and hated (since it's horrible and you can't throw a way a present, right?) - and I expect the same from others. But I know society loves this kind of stuff, so I have to play by these rules.

I'm Czech now! I have finally received Czech citizenship and given up the Russian one. I guess I officially belong here now, there really is no turning back. Not that I ever wanted to go back, the decision was an extremely easy one, indeed.

I'm almost finished with my studies! After acquiring Bachelor degree and proceeding for Master's, I have completed all the subjects, passed my minor specialization state exam (which is Psychology and sociology in management, by the way - awesome stuff!!) and all that's left is to write and defend my diploma thesis plus major's state exam. I'm almost there, but...

I found a job! Well, I had a job already, but that job didn't pay much and had zero perspective for me. This one gives me a lot of potential. I'm going to sign the contract tomorrow, but there shouldn't be any complications. One never knows, though, can't relax now. The problem is full time job will leave little time for writing the mentioned thesis, so this will be tough.

Anyway, a lot of things have happened, and a lot more are going to happen. So many things left undone in this life of mine, so, as usual, I regret I'm just a human with such a short average lifespan. I don't think I'll have time to update this journal in the future, but thanks for remembering me, it does mean a lot to me! (Though I'm used to not letting anyone know ;)

Update: Oh who am I kidding. Noone will read this without a pic, so here it goes (pardon the quality, webcam is the best I have at the moment):

(Yes, the smile is fake, of course.)

Handwriting Analysis

2008-10-31T16:25:46Z

Tried handwriting (self-)analysis from handwritingwizard.com... (hope they don't mind me linking the images too :)

I think it's rather impressive. I didn't want to know some of that. >_>

Sky Cry is moderately outgoing. His emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, he can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. He has the ability to put himself into the other person's shoes.

Sky Cry will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes he will be happy, the next day he might be sad. He has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because he is in between. Psychology calls Sky Cry an ambivert. He understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, he will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." He doesn't sway too far one way or the other.

When convincing him to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to him. He puts himself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet he will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Sky Cry is an expressive person. He outwardly shows his emotions. He may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.

Sky Cry is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. He weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when he finally has to. He basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Sky Cry doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Sky Cry will demand respect and will expect others to treat him with honor and dignity. Sky Cry believes in his ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. He has a lot of pride.

Sky Cry is secretive. He has secrets which he does not wish to share with others. He intentionally conceals things about himself. He has a private side that he intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in his past.

In reference to Sky Cry's mental abilities, he has a very investigating and creating mind. He investigates projects rapidly because he is curious about many things. He gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but he soon must slow down and look at all the angles. He probably gets too many things going at once. When Sky Cry slows down, then he becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, he must slow down to do it. He then decides what projects he has time to finish. Thus he finishes at a slower pace than when he started the project.

He has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. His mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. He can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Sky Cry can then switch into his low gear. When he is in the slower mode, he can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. He is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Sky Cry's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told Sky Cry that he wasn't a great and beautiful person, and he believed them. Sky Cry also has a fear that he might fail if he takes large risks. Therefore he resists setting his goals too high, risking failure. He doesn't have the internal confidence that frees him to take risks and chance failure. Sky Cry is capable of accomplishing much more than he is presently achieving. All this relates to his self-esteem. Sky Cry's self-concept is artificially low. Sky Cry will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because he is afraid that if he makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for Sky Cry to plan too far into the future. He kind of takes things on a day to day basis. He may tell you his dreams but he is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud he speaks, look at his actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. Sky Cry is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.

Sky Cry has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. He lets new people into his circle of friends. He uses his imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.

Motivation...

2008-07-28T18:59:33Z

... is a lie.

What motivates you?

It seems pride is one of the better motivators - you set up a certain level for yourself and tell yourself you can't fall below it. If you were to fall below it, you'll be like those "lower level" people - you don't want to be like them, you take pride in being better than them. Hence you do what you have to do, even if you actually don't want to.

Question Mark?

2008-02-14T10:34:56Z

You Are a Question Mark

You seek knowledge and insight in every form possible. You love learning.
And while you know a lot, you don't act like a know it all. You're open to learning you're wrong.

You ask a lot of questions, collect a lot of data, and always dig deep to find out more.
You're naturally curious and inquisitive. You jump to ask a question when the opportunity arises.

Your friends see you as interesting, insightful, and thought provoking.
(But they're not always up for the intense inquisitions that you love!)

You excel in: Higher education

You get along best with: The Comma

Leader vs Manager

2008-01-17T13:28:40Z

A good manager is someone who knows which person to hire, what work to give him, etc.

A good leader is someone who can pull the best out of that person, making him more productive and happier at the same time.

But what about oneself? Managing oneself is rather easy with just some analytical thinking - you already know your best and worst sides, even those you haven't told anyone else. And then it's just a matter of assigning the work that suits you best. But what about leading oneself? How can you pull the best out of yourself, making yourself more productive, yet happier at the same time?

That's the tricky part...

Vampires! Spooky!

You Could Be a Vampire... If You Had To

Like most people, the thought of being a vampire has crossed your mind. But you're not sure if you'd do it, even if you could.

Living forever doesn't sound half bad, if you could live forever with the people you love the most.

But do vampires even love? And would the vampire version of you even be you?

It's all too much to contemplate. Luckily, the chances of you ever becoming a vampire are astronomically low.

What you would like best about being a vampire: Living forever

What you would like least about being a vampire: Blood stained teeth

Could You Be a Vampire?

Some photos of the suit I bought a week ago for the state exam and whatever formal stuff that will follow.

Although not clearly visible because of the photo quality, the suit is actually striped:

(The shirt on the photos isn't ironed yet and I had a different tie anyway, but this was my spare one.)

I've got it!

2007-09-14T09:03:19Z

Woo hoo!!!

I've got it! I'm a bachelor now!

Now to just let it sink in... I'm a bachelor... bachelor... OMG!!

Good vs Evil or Taking that chance

2007-06-24T06:43:59Z

Why does Evil win?
Say you have 10 good guys and 5 evil guys. Both good and evil a equally strong, so the power is balanced towards good ones. Good guys just want to live their lives, but the evil guys want domination. So the evil guys take a chance - for example something that could quadruple their strength, but only one in five will get away with it and others will die/get caught/whatever.

Now you have 10 good guys and one extra strong evil guy. Good guys just want to be left alone, so when faced with a choice to unite and kick evil guy's ass they decide to live in submission instead. After all, if they try to overthrow the evil guy, he might take several of them with him - and good guys don't want to take that chance (the chance that he, the one thinking, will be the one to die/whatever).

And that's the power of "taking that chance". People wonder how that certain someone got up there, but they don't realize how many others tried the same thing and failed. And that's not even taking effort into account.

A gun without ammunition

2007-04-19T12:35:15Z

I completely lack any enthusiasm lately. Work isn't as fun, since I don't learn much anymore and I mostly support instead of developing. Feels like it's time to move on.

But I can't just yet, since there's school. Supposed to be my last semester. Hopefully it will be my last semester. But I don't have any desire to do any of the school stuff either. There was the operating systems subject and we had a test where we had to do some tasks in linux. It was the most fun thing during the whole semester. Now the theory part of the subject starts, so it's becoming extremely boring yet again.

I need another source of, well, enthusiasm. Some kind of inspiration. And the sooner the better...

Unpaid taxes

2007-04-04T17:21:50Z

The more I do to get rid of russian citizenship and acquire czech citizenship, the more I understand why the heck I am doing it...

Today I got a letter from tax service (or whatever is it called) dated 27.02.2007 (yes, it took over a month to receive it). It goes like - very rough translation - [me] as of 22.02.2007 doesn't have any unpaid taxes, dues, fines and tax sanctions that need to be paid in accordance with current laws. Well, except it just says *does* have unpaid taxes, etc. No explanations of why, how or anything at all. And that's considering I left the country when I was twelve, hence it's hard to imagine how can I possibly owe any taxes at all.

Now I have to find out what exactly it is that I owe - how much and what for. Then pay it. Then ask for another letter like that. And preferably without leaving the country. I wonder if I'll manage in the 18 month time limit I was given along with czech promise of citizenship. I thought 18 months is plenty of time, now I've changed my mind.

Memory

2006-10-10T17:55:42Z

I just realized I had completely forgotten to register a subject I really wanted to have this semester. It's kinda scary. I wanted it the most, yet it was the only one not auto-registered. But I'm already at 7th term, so if I just realized in time, I'd get it for sure. Well, instead it took me about a month to just recall about it. How could I want something so much and yet completely fail to remember? It's kind of depressing.

The thought, that I might miss something really important just like that, is what I'm afraid of.

Notebook keyboard cleaning

2006-09-02T14:13:29Z

A while ago I spilled a drink on my keyboard... I forgot I had it opened. Guess it can happen to me as well. :)

So while I cleaned most of it right away, some got into the keyboard - under the keys, etc. It has dried and didn't interfere in anyway, but I could still spot some of it, so now I decided to put it to an end.

Trying to unscrew different stuff didn't let me get to the keyboard. Whenever it felt like I'm beginning to take the whole thing apart, I stopped and went to look for another way. I was sure the must be one.

After a while it became frustrating, so I had to turn to the internet. I've read a lot of stuff about cleaning keyboards, especially laptop ones, and finally found a way to open only the part of the notebook that I needed. You've got to know which screws to unscrew! ;)

Now, exploring how the notebook is fixed together is rather interesting, but I'd rather not know something, than have it broken, so I tried to be careful.

The thing is, although I managed to take the keyboard out, the keyboard itself doesn't have screws, so taking it apart is a problem. Later I found an advice not to take the keys off. Heh, guess they just weren't inventive enough. ;)

Experimenting with one of the keys for almost an hour, I found how the whole thing works and how to take them off and back on. The price was the broken key... well it still works, but it became a bit more fragile. Good thing I've choosen a key I don't use, so I don't care.

Now the whole thing is put back together and it... it works! Wow! Now I wonder what are these seven screws lying around for... guess they put extra in just in case!

Ummm, religion, tastey

Humanism

Your ideals mostly resemble that of a Humanist. Although you do not have a lot of faith, you are devoted to making this world better, in the short time that you have to live. Humanists do not generally believe in an afterlife, and therefore, are committed to making the world a better place for themselves and future generations.

Ah, emotions... who needs them anyway?

Your EQ is 147

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!

51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.

71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.

91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.

111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.

131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.

150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

One smallish moderately big whoop-ass update

So everyone left in my department at work. My ex-boss will still be comming once in a while, since he'll be contracted out. It'll probably be hard keeping stuff working, especially when semester starts. There are a lot of things I still don't know how to handle and I'm inheriting most of the stuff we were doing. Once in a while might not be enough.

Good news are I've finished semester (several weeks ago, actually). This time I had to use conditional registration (or whatever you call it). Basically I haven't fulfilled all of my obligations and the university let me stay on a condition. So the good news is I fulfilled that condition as well, hence there'll be less problems. :)

So the summer is here. Main plans so far are to apply for citizenship and to get driving licence. Getting citizenship hopefully won't be that hard, since I've almost finished university, been working there for the last two years and I'm in Czech Republic for about 9 years without leaving for longer than a week or two a few times. Yeah, I'm part czech already, perhaps. And driving licence isn't something I need right now, but it'll always come handy, including when looking for work.

After the summer there's a semester worth of subjects. Possibly most subjects I've ever taken, but I don't need them all. Then again I want a few more and I'm already out of credits. I've wanted to take unix and operation systems, but the teacher was also in the head of computer centre, so I thought I'd wait a bit. And now that he was taken down, both subjects are no longer available. Feels like a lot has happened these last two years since I've been working here. It's a really strange feeling, especially since everyone left in my department. It's not really sad, just the begginning/ending of something kind of feeling.

Besides the next semester's subjects, I also have to take three exams, write a large work, defend it and then take the state exam. That's about it. It's all there before me, I can see it clearly, no more confusion. Ah, three years have passed already. It's just three years and yet it's so much. The life is just beginning.
