I’ve tried to install IE7 …many times on my laptop. It doesn’t like me. I couldn’t find any of these errors they told you to search from log file. It didn’t install in safe mode either. You can find the log of my last attempt at the end of this post in case you’re smart and think you could help me after seeing it. I’d really like to check webpages I’ve coded with 7th version, after all you never know how weird IE can possibly render standard code.

Secondly I tried to install Media Player 11. Guess what? It stopped at 87% and told me that it wasn’t installed. It also gave me link to web help: now that helps a LOT, really.

Note: my problems were solved after repair install.

As I already said on my main homepage: I’m not sure whether I’ll redo Estonian pages. For arguments:

• I’ve got some content only in Estonian, like crosswords and an article
• I wouldn’t want to abandon my mother tongue easily
• I have a hunch that there may be readers who can’t understand English
• It sometimes seems silly to write in English
• Some topics are only interest to people from Estonia

Against:

• English has wider audience
• It gives me language practice
• There is only one version of page to keep
• Some topics on English webpages wouldn’t make sense so much anymore

It might have a point to redo only materials that doesn’t have point in English and have all else in English.

Also in new layout you don’t have blogroll, category and archives pages links. I think they’re accessible if you know a link but I might not add them back, since it gets complicated without a sidebar I don’t want to have.

If you have your view on the dilemma or missing blog functions, feel free to comment.

I was spending my spare time at Loodusemees. You can find some wonderful photos there!
Like this or like this.

So I’m doing my homework. What I have after first equation mark should look the same on Karnaugh’s map as what I have after the last one. But it doesn’t . I either made a mistake with maps or in transduction. It’s late so I can’t really notice it. If you can then let me know, please.
If not then I have to look it through again tomorrow morning :S.
See it here

Edit: nevermind, I did Karnaugh’s maps wrong .

If only all surprises were pleasant. As you might have guessed next paragraphs are going to be a rant.
So since 8th July national television (ETV) started to show Smallville’s third season. I missed first three or four times until I accidentally discovered that. I had not seen any advertising before.
They showed it Saturdays at 7:45. Fourth episode was shown at 7:50 and fifth at 7:45 again. But then for some reason the sixth was aired at 7:15. Had I not viewed TV schedule that day I would have missed it. 7th, 8th were shown at 7:45. 9th episode that was supposed to be showed on 2nd September was aired… well I have no clue as it is not in the schedule. However after reading short description from WB’s site, I realised that I have seen it, don’t ask me how. Anyway, 10th was showed on 9th and 11th on 23rd September at 7:50.
But today when I sat in front of TV I discovered that they had aired 12th episode at 2:30. Grr, they don’t repeat episodes either. And next week it is at 2 pm.
Now I could understand if there were few changes in schedule but this is not few! It wouldn’t be so hard to say before or after episode that next is shown at different time. ETV shows quite many great films and I’m really grateful for that but this is not the way to treat viewers.
If one of my favourite shows is shown at different time I want to know. And no I don’t read through TV schedule just for fun each week to see if they’ve made changes. I expect them to respect viewers enough to let us know. But what I’ve learned is that I cant count on that.
Yes Cranberries’, R.E.M.’s and U2′s concerts that they have showed have been really great but it is still unpleasant surprise in the evening that is supposed to be the best of all weekdays.
