I believe that this is the first singer in the history of mankind that her fans sing more beautifully than her that she is entirely astonished and her eyes are asking them all,”Who came to listen to whom here?”
Just notice how much she is in love with this crowd that she made and now she is listening to.

I am a senseless way.
Do not try to follow me, you worry me and I will hurt you.
Do not try to speculate … you will remain deeply disappointed by my circular aim.
Do not try in any way to love me. It would be the biggest mistake of your life!
Do not try to lie. Even if you succeed, you will believe you…
Try to accept, criticism, see, feel!
Then you could tell me what you want from me …

Actually, I haven’t listened to all that much new music of late, and that — combined with my busy days — are the cause of the missing posts. But I’m through with all that… for last week anyway. 
Galaxies — Owl City
Stars — Switchfoot
Can’t Shut Up — Anthem Lights
Terminals — Relient K
Hello Hurricane — Switchfoot

Hmm… I really don’t have anything cool to say about my collection of favorite songs this week. I guess they’re just what I listened to and enjoyed. Hope you do too!
The Redeemer — Sanctus Real
In Christ Alone — Owl City
Umbrella Beach — Owl City
Those Nights — Skillet
Small Rebellions — Jars of Clay

As many of you know I live in Denmark now, Horsens to be precise. And while I was thinking of what my next hub would be about and how they, whoever “they” are…always tell you to write what you know…I thought I would start write about my new projects and the “news” from my brand new life .
So let me start with a BIG Thanks You to my friends back home Tomiță Militaru Anca Dobrotă and Gabriela Radu for their support in Romania(and not only there) and for being such a good friends(Love You All). And BIG Thank You to my new friends and teammates Alex Țene and Darius Moravcik for everything they do for me and for the fact that they accepted me in the Revolve Magazine Team(I’m so proud of that).
So now let me present to you the awesomess that will be the new Revolve Magazine and how we will change the Horsens Campus of VIA University so below you’ll see as we start a revolution(in the good way )
Garage Sale – at times it can be really difficult to find affordable furniture, bikes or books on this campus and that is exactly why we will start “auction/second-hand shop” for this campus where students can sell and buy practically any items online.
Catch-a-Ride – is a service that allows students to share a car ride with other people traveling the same direction or to the same destination. You will be able to find people that are driving the same way so you can get a ride (possibly sharing the cost of fuel if required) or post that you are driving and are willing to take on some extra passengers (once again sharing the cost of fuel).
Android/iPhone app – these apps will allow students to use most of the new upcoming features when away from computer as long as you have a smart phone. The best thing is that these services and products will be free for VIA students at Campus Horsens. More news will be announced in August and the full package including at least 6 features will be ready to use by the beginning of new semester. We expect to launch everything by the beginning of new semester.

Ladies and gentlemen Google+ is here, or somewhere here, in the presentations, on YouTube, but not in front of me.
After today’s loud announcement all over the net I ended at Google+. Or Google Wave? I’m not sure because everything’s the same. It’s like a Déjà vu to me.
When Wave was launched it was presented like something that would revolutionize the way people communicate. After such an uproar and the longest presentation video I had ever watched, trying to test this service ended on the initial wave page, where beside the video was info that the service was in the test phase and access was given to only a limited number of users. When I finally got access I had nothing to try, my contacts weren’t there. Today I logged in with my Google account on this new service just to find similar message. You get the point here. I wonder how my social life on Google+ would look like? Probably all alone and waiting for my friends to come to the party, one on every 3 hours. I’m sure my friends will come and go. I see that the Google guys somewhat realized the point of social life creating these “circles” (which is not something new, Facebook has this). Realized that not everyone is like them and not everyone wants to index the entire world. However, if you’re interested to get yourself on the invitation waiting list this is the place.
The search giant’s new social project will be omnipresent on its products, thanks to a complete redesign of the navigation bar. The familiar gray strip at the top of every Google page will turn black, and come with several new options for accessing your Google+ profile, viewing notifications and instantly sharing content. The notification system is similar to how Facebook handles notifications, complete with a red number that increases with each additional notice.

With the launch of Cloud Drive and Cloud Player , Amazon has jumped the gun and pulled attention away from its rivals Google and Apple.
The details of the Cloud Drive service are a dream come true to a lot of geeks: 5GB of storage for free, a great starting point and sufficient for a handful of albums worth of music.
If you want another 20GB, all you have to do is buy an album in MP3 format from Amazon (the sad part is that this feature is only for US). The album itself won’t eat up any of your storage allocation, but simply purchasing it gets you the 20GB upgrade for a year.
Want more space? Sure, just buy it. Prices are reasonable, and very easy to remember. Want 20GB? That’s 20 bucks per year, 50GB is $50/year 100GB is $100/year.
What’s clever about Amazon’s solution is its likely appeal to a wide variety of customers. It’s great if you like to own your music, because you still do. It’s great if you prefer to stream music, because you still can.
Nothing’s really changed, except the place where the music files are kept. They used to be on your computer’s hard disk. Now they’re in the cloud. As long as you can still listen to them, who cares where they are?
Amazon has reached this point by cleverly investing in its online storage technologies in recent years. It began by innovating with services like S3, a cloud-based storage system for web developers. Now that S3 is successful (and dependable), Amazon’s taken the next obvious step: open the same network up to consumers, and make it very easy to use.
What’s more, Cloud Drive is aptly named. It’s not just for music. You can put any files you like up there. It’s a drive, in the cloud. For me is the ugly “brother” of Dropbox..ugly just because Amazon Cloud Drive don’t have Yet a API or a sync client, but I still use it and like it 
Amazon’s launch means we’ll see Apple and Google unveiling their rival services as soon as they can complete them. Other companies will follow. In a year from now, we’ll be swimming in cloud drive services.
The result? The ever-hastening death of the hard disk. You just won’t need one any more. New computers will come with solid state drives – still with many gigabytes of storage space, and each generation cheaper than the one before – but most people will store most stuff in cloud services. Even backup drives will fade away, because it will be just as effective to copy your data between clouds, and be sure there are multiple copies of it.
Another obvious step is yet to come: a multi-purpose Amazon tablet that combines the sleek stylings of the Kindle with the huge storage capacity of Cloud Drive.
The table below shows prices per month for 2 storage level, 50 GB and 100 GB, which are what Dropbox offers.
You will see that Amazon prices Cloud Drive storage at lower prices than Amazon S3. Dropbox use Amazon S3 with standard redundancy as the storage back-end. So, unless they get special prices from Amazon, they will never be able to complete on price with Cloud Drive. This is exactly what Amazon is aiming for with their pricing, I believe.
Note that Amazon S3 also offers Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS), which interestingly is priced very similarly to Cloud Drive. Does that mean Cloud Drive uses RRS? (99.99% durability, instead of 99.999999999% durability) We don’t know yet. But it would be a bad surprise if it does.
Currently, Cloud Drive is only accessible via web, and thus is not yet as widely accessible as Dropbox. However, this could change very quickly if Cloud Drive API is made available or if Amazon releases their own client for PC/Mac/Linux/Mobiles.

When the original Kindle released, I didn’t bite. I decided to wait until version 3. That wait ended this past week. My new Kindle 3 arrived on Thursday. It was worth the wait.
To catch some of you up to speed, the Kindle is a wireless reading device. It holds books like an iPod holds music. And, just like an iPod, it does a lot more.
At some point in the future, I may share a more comprehensive review of the Kindle. But, for now, let me give my first impressions of the new device.
After I purchased my first iPod it was only a matter of months before I stopped buying CDs. I can easily see how having the Kindle will likely mean I’ll only purchase and read electronic versions of books going forward. Books are cheaper that way. And, honestly, it’s a lot easier for me to have several books available on my Kindle than trying to carry books around in my book bag when I travel.
Just in case you’re curious, Kamelot?s Poetry For The Poisoned was the first album I downloaded to my iPod. And Sun Tzu’s Art Of War was the first book I downloaded to my Kindle 3.
Any other Kindle owners out there? What do you have to add to this initial review?

In the last 2 days I often heard the question: „Can you ping a specific port of a machine, and if so, can you provide an example?” and now I will answer to this question here.
The answer is:
You can’t ping ports, as Ping is using ICMP which doesn’t have the concept of ports itself. Ports belong to the IP family of protocols (with TCP and UDP being its famous transport layer protocols). However, you could use nmap to see whether ports are open or not by nmap using this command:
nmap -p 80 example.com or IP adress
Nmap is more than just a ping-for-ports-thingy. It’s the security auditers and hackers best friend and comes with tons of cool options. Check the man for all possible flags.
