### Leaving the country

- Quote

Post by Username17 » Tue Sep 01, 2009 11:19 am

I'm getting on a plane. Then a train. I'm getting back to Prague Wednesday night. The company I was renting my place from decided not to hold me a flat after all, and chose to tell me at the last minute. So I don't know where I will sleep. But I'm back in school mode starting right quick.

Maybe you can work out something with the porno company, if they aren't using their flat most of the time...

that may not be that great either... they may reserve the right to barge in and make porn any time they feel like it.
On the other hand they may not kick you out to do that...

I hesitate to think of a pornstar name for Frank.

I hesitate to think of Frank as a pornstar.
Or in any profession that requires taking clothes off for that matter...

Should I now mention there's a series of Flash games called "Frank's Adventure" where you play as a man called Frank who has to go around getting naked photos of women to keep a porn company afloat, then help some aliens, then get crowned king?
Just saying.

The lost luggage sucks. From what I heard (my siblings just got back from Italy and flew through Philly), there was some sort of conveyor problem and a whole bunch of luggage just didn't go anywhere.
I hope it's found, and when you do get it, I hope it's not stuck in bureaucracy.
Good luck with classes.

Indeed. I hope that whatever trials you face in the near future are both minor and amusing in retrospect.

I have a flat again. It looks like this:
There are disadvantages of course, but I'm back in a country where they have proper advertisements in metro stations:
Also, being homeless let me work on some projects without the distraction of actually being able to use the internet or search for clip art:
No idea why it displays with black squares around it - the real version doesn't do that.

Because transparency is at best in afterthought in 99% of all programs and some piece of software in between the one you design in and your webspace thought it didn't need transparency or implemented it differently. Gods I hate that ever since I struggled with keeping transparency while converting image formats.
Anyways, good to see you have found a place to live again.

PNG and JPG2 have transparency as a pre-thought standard instead of as an add-on (like GIF).
However, many programs still break those...

What is that ad for, Frank? I'm a little confused...

They've got a website listed, and half of it is in English.
http://www.sapho.cz/
Also: "kompletní vybavení koupelen"
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vybavení
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/koupelna
I'm guessing it translates roughly as "Complete Bathroom Equipment."
So, Sapho wants to sell you sinks, faucets, bathtubs, etc. This seems to be supported by the website.
