Daugavpils 05.06.2010 – Drifting
Today is Daugavpils city celebration day and some kind of sport car was drifting near my student hostel. So I and my friend thought we could capture it on camera – and we did 
Few close calls
Few close calls (not mine) riding motorcycles and some suggestions to you my friends.
1) When you are stopped at the lights – check your mirrors and be in 1st gear. If you see that someone is closing to you very fast blink with the break lights, but be ready to use your first gear and get out of the way. In this situation my friend Jill from US was on other line, but still – that was close call: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlOVipqWAiM#t=0m55s
2) When you are riding behind the car, be very focused on situation (if you see that car are slowing down) and don’t show turn lights, that can mean anything (as you can see in video, there was no turn’s to the right too). In this case close call was to my other Internet friend Matt from UK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAo84Ob-6gg#t=1m33s
3) When you are using other line to make your turn, don’t be so sure that someone can’t drive across NOT dotted line to do the same: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNflKjD8pKI#t=1m50s The same depends riding on highways and roads with multiple riding lines in one direction. Watch every car who drives near you and don’t stay too long in blind stop. Here is the video where car want to change line and don’t notice rider:
Problems with Becker Z 100 Crocodile and solutions
Hey!
These few days I have been playing around with Z 100 Crocodile GPS system. I had few problems with it, so I’m writing this post to help others who could have the same problems!
1) After I unpacked navigator from box and wanted to install Content Manager software from CD – CD just didn’t wanted to load on my PC.
Don’t be scared if this happen to you too, just go to http://mybecker.com and download newest Content Manager software. If on CD I had Content Manager v1.0, then from web site I downloaded Content Manager 2.0. Just fallow the link and search under “SERVICE RELEASE 2″. By the way, I later tested this CD on my Macbook and it worked – strange things going on here… Anyway, it’s better to download newest version from WEB
2) After I installed software, registered and connected navigator it automatically showed up, that I can update firmware on GPS. I updated and then I wanted to update navigator maps, because there were only 2008 year’s. So if you: registered, signed in, connected your GPS and if it’s new or haven’t been used software will show up that you have one new update. Update is called something like “Free update for 45 days”. At the beginning I thought that these maps will end after 45 days of using, but no – this is free 45 day update where you get map updates for free. So I downloaded 1,7gb and clicked to install – and boom, error, and software closed. ( Runtime Error C + + Library for …./CM2.exe ). Programs written on MS and for MS rox, huh? Ok, I restarted program, and again – as soon as navigator is connected or button to install update clicked error pops out and program closes. Then I started to search online and find answer on one German forum: http://forum.pocketnavigation.de. Unfortunately I don’t know German language, I used Google Translate – but anyway, it was pain in the a**. So that’s why I’m writing this post
Sesija un citas lietas
Posted by Tvinky on Jan 26, 2010 in From life
Sesija ir beigusies – atzīmes laikam šoreiz nerakstīšu un priekšmetus neaprakstīšu. Nav jau tā, ka sliktas vai nav ko pateikt – vienkārši nezinu vai kādam tas interesē un grāmatiņa jau nodota…
Dators joprojām nav taisīts, jo laika nebija gatavojoties eksāmeniem – pārbaudīju RAM un GPU pie drauga, RAM biosā uzrādās, GPU tompēr iekarās tāpat kā man – nelādējot pat BIOS. Tagad tik atliek atstiept strādājošu GPU pie manis un pārbaudīt vai ar manu GPU līdzi arī video kartes sokets nav nodedzis vai vēl kas.
Anyway – šeit kojās ir kādi 6-8 grādi istabā, sildīt nesilda, CCCP logi laiž cauri (kaut arī aizlīmēti pamatīgi). Salstam, un sildītājus lietot nedrīkst – sit korķis, pazūd elektrība un tos ņem nost. Jautri – šeit laikam uz nedēļu vai divām šajā aukstumā bez civilizācijas vien būšu iesprūdis. Pat ceļos no 6 rītā, no tā aukstuma un nevaru aizmigt. Btw, guļu džemperī un biksēs – pat vēl kapuci uzvelku 
Gribētos jau palasīt, papētīt kaut ko bakalaura darbam – kāmēr brīvs, bet увы salst roku un kāju pirkst.
Šeit vēl dažas pārdomas par sesiju un studentiem no mana kursabiedra: http://tintix.xlab.lv/2010/01/25/sesija/
