So you started as a programmer; that's very interesting. I am a software developer too but I am addicted to everything related to design. Maybe a little bit too addicted. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not but I found that this "passion" or interest really helps me in my development work. Perhaps, because a piece of software is a product too, you can enjoy it's elegance and "aesthetics" (and I don't mean only user interface) as for any other product design.

Anyway, I always enjoyed your (and Brandient's) work and I fell...well...proud that one can find such a quality and professionalism here, in Romania.

Adi, I'm glad our hard, hard work doesn't pass unnoticed. Thank you.

Regarding your passion for design, try visiting a semester exhibition at the Faculty of Design (of the Art University). I switched from Polytechnics to the Academy of Visual Arts (in Cluj) after spending an enlightening night in the Faculty of Design building watching the students preparing their summer exam exhibition.

Kit, your work cannot "pass unnoticed", that's obvious. And, I guess, the most important ingredient for these results are the same as for any other great designers: PASSION. That passion that inspires other, that passion which made you switch from programming to design.

Thanks a lot for you advice! Probably is too late for me to swhitch to a design career (I'm not at twenties anymore) but I'll try to satisfy my passion by looking at every aspect of software development through a "designer" eye (apart from my little design projects - including my wedding stationeries :) ). And some nicely designed software can produce the same "addiction" and "feeling" as any other great designed industrial product.

"I hate trains"- me too, me too. Romanian trains look and smell like cockroaches!

I also hate trains. Lately, I've extended my repugnance to the trams, buses and subways that I have to switch daily. I've even learned how to "surf" in the tram, how to hold my breath when someone sneezes/ coughes near me, and many other tricks that minimize the exposure to germs.

Playing instruments? I had some experiences with a tambourine when I was 4 or 5, but I had to stop quickly under my parents' pressure (they bought me some watercolours afterwards).

As about smoking, of course I've tryed it. Fortunately, I didn't like it.

I don't like eating, it's a waste of time. I envy the astronauts.

Well, as you can see, you're not alone in this.

the image of this post reminds me of the times when I've learned C in school and all the source code began with some serious "#define bla bla bla" lines. For me, the eternal C code profane, they sound like an incantation. It seem slike there's no genuine C code without them.

I gaze at those somehow familiar-looking blocks of code through an annoyingly murky veil of amnesia, wondering what did they mean, what did they do.

the only thing i hate more than "accelerat" trains is carrying huge and/or heavy luggage in the "accelerat" trains. second class, preferably.

Glad to see you love trains! The best luggage — in my opinion — to carry around in those second class cars is a bunch of recycled plastic bags containing food (something with sauce or anything that can produce spillage) that some poor old granny made you deliver at the destination. Oh, and it's overbooked: your seats are taken.

seats have double overbooking, an old peasant who apologizes, although it is not his fault, and philosophizes a bit (wisely) about life, the universe and everything, then humbly shuts up, and a sweating low-key 'businessman' who curses (a bit too) often, until ticket control comes, when he suddenly turns friendly and makes jokes with the "controlor" about it.
i eventually manage to sit down, for a while, rotation system. the seat is broken, gliding towards the middle. leaving room for the heat to hit.
'coz the heat system is stuck. stuck on "hot" in our compartment. suffocating. not working at all two compartments ahead, freezing, with promoroaca at the window. you can't close the window completely, in either compartment. and can't open it more, assuming you would want to.

Haha, "rotation system" is a great touch!

To others this may be literature, to me this sounds unnervingly familiar.
