[PHP] quick start

PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. For this purpose, PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document - but it doesn't mean you can't view .php sites offline.

Back to blogging...and to life?

Looks like a quite long break from blogging, huh? In some part it's my laziness to blame, but the fact is I was quite busy lately because of struggling to end a PHP book (850 pages), breaking up with girlfriend, faling to commit a suicide (ok, not serious ;)), striving to start a new life, leaving everything and going to Posen, working there as a bricklayer (very nerve-healing!) and coming back to gf.

Uff.

Well, that's how my last month looked like more or less.

[quotes] "W leju po bombie" by A.Sapkowski

Będzie wpis w całości po polsku, więc się cieszcie :D

W leju po bombie - IMO najlepsze opowiadanie ze zbioru "Coś się kończy, coś się zaczyna" (obok tytułowego opowiadania). Można podpiąć pod SF, choć jest bardzo realistycznie. Pewien młodzian opisuje drogę do szkoły, podczas której zastają go na ulicy jakieś zbrojne zamieszki. Zajebista narracja, beka co chwilę. 10/10

[food] Eggs are GOOD for cholesterol

Why People Say Eating Lots of Eggs is Unhealthy? Eggs contain high amounts of cholesterol. 1 large egg has about 200mg cholesterol and 5g of fat. Almost half of that fat is saturated fat.

The logic is that since eggs are high in cholesterol, a high egg consumption will increase your blood cholesterol. So by cutting eggs from your diet, your blood cholesterol will decrease. This, however, isn’t how your body works.

[food] Goodbye chewing gums? =(

Conscience from Sweatshop Union raps:
"(...) And our souls will be numb if we take this beating
Harass your brain with aspartame, MacDonald's beef, and acid rain"

Aspartame is the second most widely used artificial sweetener in the world. It is found in more than 6,000 products including carbonated and powdered soft drinks, hot chocolate, chewing gum, candy, desserts, yogurt, and tabletop sweeteners, as well as some pharmaceutical products like vitamins and sugar-free cough drops. More than 200 million people worldwide consume it. The sweetener has been used for more than 30 years, having first been approved by the FDA in 1974. Studies of the carcinogenicity of aspartame performed by its producers have been negative.

If you think that metal genres division is too complicated this post is for you. Take with a grain of salt.

[life] New Age introduction

In 2008 I've became interested in New Age movement because its philosophy turned out to be close to mine.

The New Age is a decentralized Western social and spiritual movement that seeks "Universal Truth" and the attainment of the highest individual human potential. It includes aspects of Occultism, astrology, esotericism, metaphysics, alternative medicine, music, collectivism, sustainability, and nature. New Age spirituality is characterized by an individual approach to spiritual practices and philosophies.

Some of its principles:
> everything in the world is connected with each other, is a unity
> everyone is equal, they have no master or guru
> energy = absolute = god (impersonal)
> eclectism and equality of all cultures, religions, etc.
> but the fall of catholic church is inevitable ;)
> movement doesn't command anything anyone, human's greatest tool is free will
> there was no start and end of the world, whole matter passes through every possibilities and the cycle goes on - which is going to take a looooot more time than our life, here
> life on Earth is only a transitional state
