			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zilele astea a trebuit să dau comandă de mai multe echipamente electrocasnice. Cum online prețurile sunt cu aproximativ 10% mai mici ca în magazin, am zis să comand online. Am trecut pe la toate magazinele online &#8220;clasice&#8221;, gen Emag, Electrofun, PCGarage, dar și pe la unele mai obscure. Concluzia a fost că deși au prețuri mai bune overall, la magazinele exclusiv online te omoară transportul (1-2 milioane). M-am orientat așadar spre versiunile online ale marilor rețele de electrocasnice, <a href="http://www.domo.ro" target="_blank">Domo</a> și <a href="http://www.eflamingo.ro" target="_blank">Flanco</a>.</p>
<p>La Domo, livrarea e făcută de magazinul cel mai apropiat și este gratuită pentru comenzi de peste 300 de lei. Nu poți să-ți alegi ziua de livrare, dar poți să o negociezi cu cei din magazin. În cazul meu a fost super OK, au venit sâmbăta, am putut plăti cu cardul. mi-au adus produsele în casă, mi-au dat indicații de folosire&#8230; Din păcate, unul din certificatele de garanție a rămas necompletat, așa că a trebuit să sunt din nou. De la centrală am fost îndrumat spre &#8220;orice magazin Domo&#8221;. Din păcate, facturarea pentru produsele mele fusese făcută într-un magazin Tehnomarket, așa că a trebuit să mă deplasez până pe centură, unde am avut parte de o discuție interesantă cu o blondă (și la propriu și la figurat), însă până la urmă certificatul a fost completat în 5 minute.</p>
<p>La Flanco, situația este mai complexă. În primul rând, magazinul online E-flamingo nu are nicio legătură cu magazinele fizice din oraș, livrarea făcându-se către Fan Courier. Un punct pozitiv este că permite alegerea datei de livrare, nefiind însă clar de pe sit dacă e vorba de livrarea produselor către firma de curierat sau livrarea către client (s-a dovedit că era livrarea către client). La Flanco, livrarea costă și este calculată automat când comanzi, dar luna asta aveau o ofertă prin care toate produsele erau livrate gratuit. Livrarea se face însă &#8220;până în fața clădirii în care locuiți&#8221;. Mai departe te înțelegi cu curierul&#8230;</p>
<p>Am comandat deci, punând ca dată de livrare sâmbăta (aceeași cu cei de la Domo) și o adresă de facturare diferită de adresa de livrare. Am primit mailurile uzuale, însă surpriză! în al doilea mail, la adresa de livrare apărea adresa de facturare.  Din păcate n-am observat asta, așa că i-am așteptat pe cei de la curier sâmbăta toată ziua. M-au sunat pe la 1 că ajung peste 10 minute. După jumătate de oră, primesc un telefon de la ei că au ajuns la adresa de livrare&#8230;unde bineînțeles nu era nimeni. Îmi promit că încearcă să ajungă până la 2 când se termina programul, iar după aceea nu mai dau niciun semn de viață. Când îi sun, îmi spun calmi că n-aveau cum să ajungă și că produsele vor veni luni.</p>
<p>Produsele au ajuns bine mersi până la urmă, ocazie cu care am observat și eu că problema cu adresa li se datora celorde la Flanco, și nu firmei de curierat. Iar magazinul de la care se făcuse livrarea era&#8230; din Sibiu! Nici nu vreau să mă gândesc cât ar fi costat livrarea fără oferta respectivă. De curiozitate, am sunat si la Flanco și am pretins  că am un certificat de garanție necompletat; mi-au zis că ar trebui să mă duc la magazinul de unde am cumpărat produsele. După ce le-am povestit toată tărășenia au zis că pot să mă duc în orice magazin din București, dar că &#8220;nu pot să promită nimic&#8221;.</p>
<p>În concluzie: la Domo serviciile sunt în cea mai mare parte prompte și fără probleme deosebite, pe când la Flanco sunt prea multe părți implicate și șanse mari ca ceva să meargă prost. Deci dacă aveți cum, mai bine evitați Flanco.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Chapters: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly</strong></span></p>
<p>Prima prezentare este din India. Și acolo a durat 5 ani până să fie făcută asociația locală. Explicația principală ține de nivelul de implicare și de numărul de utilizatori Wikipedia. Prezentatorul consideră că existența unei asociații devine din ce în ce mai importantă, deoarece poate încuraja creșterea. Totuși, asociațiile nu apar organic, este nevoie de încurajare pentru a apărea.</p>
<p>Este previzibilă și necesară și o metodă de afiliere în afara asociațiilor (de exemplu per eveniment). Un alt vorbitor a propus metoda Ambasadorilor folosită la Fedora.</p>
<p>Membrii boardului (în special Arne Klempert) țin însă la funcționarea asociațiilor, considerând-o necesară pentru constituirea de colaborări. De asemenea, consideră administrarea mai facilă pentru fundație.</p>
<p>În continuare, membrii publicului încearcă să ofere exemple despre ce este o asociație locală și cum se poate adapta sistemul la cerințele oamenilor care nu pot creea o asociație. Una din soluțiile propuse a fost reprezentată de modelul <a href="http://www.ted.com/tedx/" target="_blank">TEDx</a>, în care licențierea se face per eveniment.</p>
<p>O altă problemă ridicată a fost cea a aprobării asociațiilor, care în unele cazuri durează extrem de mult, cum a fost la Wikimedia Macao (din cauza statutului în special).</p>
<p><a name="i18n"></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Internaționalizare</strong></span></p>
<p>Prezentarea începe cu un scurtă introducere despre meta și a ceea ce se traduce: anunțuri, conținut, interfață etc. Traducerile sunt făcute atât de amatori, cât și profesioniști (30% după un studiu din 2008), toți voluntari. Comunicarea se face prin <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Babylon">Babylon</a>, un noticeboard, prin paginile de discuție, prin lista de discuție <a href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/translators-l" target="_blank">translators-l</a>, Comitetul pentru traduceri (<a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Transcom" target="_blank">Transcom</a>). Din păcate prezentarea a fost greu de urmărit datorită limbii engleza a prezentatoarei, așa că e posibil să fi sărit peste ceva informații relevante <img src='http://www.strainu.ro/site/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Urmează <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Siebrand">Siebrand</a> cu o scurtă prezentare a <a href="http://translatewiki.net/">translatewiki.net</a>. Cea mai importantă parte o reprezintă extensia Translate, care permite traducerea de formate de pagini. El speră ca această extensie să fie activată și pe <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org" target="_blank">meta</a>, pentru a ajuta cu cererile de traducere. Va exista un demo al acestei idei de la ora 14:00 CET.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Legături interwiki</strong></span></p>
<p>Legăturile interwiki reprezintă metadate comune pentru toate Wikipediile, nu numai pentru cea în care sunt puse. De aceea, ele sunt greu de urmărit și de aceea nu beneficiază de atenția editorilor. Ca soluție, se folosesc roboții, dar aceștia eșuează în caz de eroare.</p>
<p>Ca soluție se propune un loc central de păstrare. <a href="http://testwiki.smolenski.rs/" target="_blank">Nikola Smolenski</a> a dezvoltat o extensie care permite existența acestui loc central de depozitare, sub forma unui wiki specializat.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Video on Wikipedia #2</strong></span></p>
<p>Prezentarea aceasta este despre tehnologiile folosite pentru editare. S-a început cu un scurt istoric al videoului deschis și a CreativeCommons.</p>
<p><a href="http://universalsubtitles.org/" target="_blank"><em>Timed Text</em></a> este un format care permite subtitrarea filmelor în formate libere. AdMedia Wizard ușurează adăugarea de fișiere în articole. Se poate opta pentru folosirea sa pe en.wp, inclusiv transcodarea mp4-ogg în timp real.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>P2P Video for Wikipedia</strong></span></p>
<p>Se dorește folosirea surselor de tip P2P pentru descărcarea de video, cu fallback pe HTTP. Se folosește o tehnologie asemănătoare cu BitTorrent, doar că ordinea de descărcare este diferită (se folosesc 3 grade de importanță) și se folosește un algoritm Give-to-Get (trebuie să încarci ceva pentru a putea descărca). Acest lucru afectează performanța pe ASDL&amp;friends.</p>
<p>Ca implementare, există o <a href="http://swarmplayer.p2p-next.org/" target="_blank">extensie</a> de FF+plugin de IE8. Are o funcție de auto-creare torrent, ceea ce pare foarte cool.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Geodata pe Wikipedia și Commons</strong></span></p>
<p>Kolossus a începu prin a prezenta formatul {{coordonate}} cu toate opțiunile sale, inclusiv pagina &#8220;Geohack&#8221; de la toolserver. Există un proiect &#8220;Wikipedia World&#8221; care pune punctele pe hartă, precum și un KLM pentru Google Earth, care permite interacțiunea inversă, de la hartă la articol.</p>
<p>Pe de.wp există un gadget pentru a folosi hărțile OSM în loc de MiniAtlas (vreau asta pe ro.wp!!! ieri <img src='http://www.strainu.ro/site/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> ), precum și multe alte gadgeturi care permit folosirea datelor de pe wikipedia pe telefoane mobile, desktopuri etc.</p>
<p>Mai departe se prezintă cooperarea cu <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">OSM</a> &#8211; se dorește prezentarea unor hărți personalizate, cu layere custom, strict legate de Wikipedia. În prezent serviciul este disponibil pe un server de la Toolserver. În viitor va exista un format cu care se vor putea face cereri către serverul OSM și care va întoarce o hartă.</p>
<p><strong>Extensiile Maps și SemanticMaps</strong></p>
<p>Extensia <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Maps" target="_blank">Maps</a> afișează coordonate în cadrul unui wiki. Poate fi folosit pentru geocoding sau pentru afișarea unei hărți, prin Google, Yahoo! sau Openlayers. Există multe metode de a specifica datele și chiar posibilitatea de a <a href="http://mapping.referata.com/wiki/Mapping_on_MediaWiki" target="_blank">modifica hărțile</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>După cum era de așteptat, cele mai interesante informații le-am aflat la afterparty. Ca o observație, la reuniunea asociațiilor eram printre cei mai tineri, ceea ce dovedește, cel puțin pentru mine, că Wikipedia nu e o joacă de copil.</p>
<p>În zona de mâncare apăruseră în timpul după-amiezei tot felul de afișe și broșuri cu diferite proiecte academice legate direct sau indirect de Wiki. Mie mi-au atras atenția 2:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://intopedia.org">intopedia</a> își propune să ofere liste cu lucruri de făcut celor interesați să ajute Wikipedia, dar care nu știu ce s-ar putea face.</li>
<li><a href="http://toolserver.org/~lvova/">The Connectivity project</a> oferă o metodă de a studia conexiunile între proiectele Wikipedia, oferind o serie de statistici despre bucle de categorii, articole fără legături, articole orfane etc.</li>
</ol>

<p>I did it <img src='http://www.strainu.ro/site/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Last weekend I finished the team contest at the Tuşnad Half Marathon. CompuRats (that is, <a href="http://cathy-cathysnotes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Cati</a>, Claudia and me) finished the race in 2:33:05.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t written anything on the blog in a while, so I thought it&#8217;s time to brag a little about the latest developments <img src='http://www.strainu.ro/site/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been to eLiberatica to meet people from other open-source communities. It&#8217;s been a nice experience, that you can read and see pictures about it <a href="http://www.suseromania.ro/proiecte-ale-comunitatii/eliberatica-2009/" target="_blank">here</a> (in Romanian). Things are actually going pretty well with the openSUSE community. I&#8217;m going to the <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Conf_2009">openSUSE conference</a> in September, and <a href="http://alex.lifplus.com/" target="_blank">Alex</a> will probably come too.</p>
<p>On a more personal note, the last 4 months of running are beginning to show, and I&#8217;m confident that I&#8217;ll be ready to run 8 km at <a href="http://www.tusnadmarathon.ro/ro/" target="_blank">Tusnad Marathon</a>.</p>
<p>The rest of my life isn&#8217;t going that well though. I want to post some <a href="http://www.strainu.ro/category/weekend-trips/" target="_blank">weekend trips</a> to the site, as well as some new (or rather old) <a href="http://www.strainu.ro/code/" target="_blank">code</a>, but between school and work, I just don&#8217;t find the time for it. I&#8217;m also looking for some summer holiday ideas, but it seems my friend group has pretty much split apart.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going through a wiki-phase, characterized by the despair of writing for the 20-30 people who participate on <a href="http://ro.wikipedia.org/" target="_blank">ro.wp</a> actively. Therefore, I&#8217;ve decided to take a break, <a href="http://www.strainu.ro/links/" target="_blank">read their blogs</a> and see what happens.</p>
<p>Anyway, I haven&#8217;t given up on any of these issues yet, so I&#8217;ll eventually write those posts and go back to Wikipedia.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the <a href="http://www.strainu.ro/tag/btam/" target="_blank">bad experiences</a> I had with BTAM, I decided to try my luck with the Asset Management division of the biggest romanian bank, BCR. As with most bank-owned funds, you can buy units from the bank itself.</p>
<p>So I went to one of the big branches, I went in and asked where I could buy some units from their funds. The young lady at the reception pointed me to the manager&#8217;s office (which was on another entrance). It seemed that I could only buy units from the manager&#8230; whatever. I went to the office where I was met by an old, respectable lady which politely asked me if I had an account at the bank. When I said &#8220;no&#8221;, she asked for my ID so she could open one, because &#8220;fund units can only be paid for by bank transfer&#8221;. Considering my past experiences with that bank, I took my ID and left right in that moment.</p>
<p>That could have been the end of it, but based on my experience with BTAM, I decided to write them an email. After about a week, in which the email passed by 4 of their employees (ofcourse, the headers were still there), I received an email from someone apologizing for the problem and inviting me to contact them in order to buy those unit. I suppose that in the banks, an email is not yet considered as a valid mean of contact&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following all the bad news I&#8217;ve heard about RDS in the last years (the quiet doubling of tariffs, the lost invoices, the crappyservice, etc.) I was very annoyed when I found out I had to pay some money for their phone service. The sum was very small, but as I didn&#8217;t remember to have used that phone, I was worried that they maight try to overcharge me.</p>
<p>I called their customer service line and demanded to get a detailed invoice within the months with problems. The person at the other end of the line was very kind and professional. She told me that I could get that data by email, took my data and opened a support ticket for me, than gave me the number. She also told me she could not give me an ETA for the response, but it usually goes pretty quick. In fact, in a couple of hours I had received a response and the situation was cleared.</p>
<p>This might seem as normal to foreigners, but for RDS client, such a happy ending is rather rare.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dobitocimea de la Banca Transilvania a descoperit brusc puterea blogurilor. Vă las să apreciaţi 2 mostre de <a href="http://www.strainu.ro/personal/iar-despre-emailuri/#comment-67964" target="_blank">umor ardelenesc</a> şi <a href="http://www.strainu.ro/personal/inc-o-zi-inc-un-email-legat-de-protectia-datelor/#comment-67957" target="_blank">logică bancară</a>. Restul răgetelor le-am şters din cauza lipsei de logică.</p>
<p>Ce n-au aflat indivizii aceştia (pe lângă cum să ascundă adresele de email) e că degeaba îşi storc creierii să găsească nick-uri inteligente dacă scriu de pe o adresă IP ce <a href="http://www.db.ripe.net/whois?form_type=simple&amp;full_query_string=&amp;searchtext=194.145.238.3&amp;submit.x=0&amp;submit.y=0&amp;submit=Search" target="_blank">le aparţine</a>. Mă ofer să le ţin nişte cursuri gratuite de reţelistică şi bun simţ.</p>
<p>Îi informez pe această cale că mă doare-n $%^&amp; de ce cred ei despre ANSPDCD sau despre mine. Problema e că fiind &#8220;foarte ocupat&#8221; cu trimiterea de sesizări nu mai am timp să mai fac şi selecţia spamurilor, aşa încât reţeaua 194.145.238.0/24 ia o pauză pe termen nedeterminat de pe blogul ăsta.</p>
