Merry Christmas to all of us!
Most of us associate Christmas with snow and Winter while some of us associate it with sun and Summer. I associate it with snow. It did actually snow here but it was a few days ago and I didn't get the chance to take any pictures. Instead, I've had some time to digitize and upload 3 Beach Volleyball videos of this past summer.

3500 Linuxes... or maybe Linii? Yes, Linii!
A nation-wide election took place in Greece this past Sunday (2007 November 11). Its purpose was to elect PASOK's new leader. For the politically inclined, details can be found here.
What's interesting from a technology perspective is that Linux (Xubuntu 7.10) was chosen as the OS for the computers used for the election.
Computron is proud for having prepared, distributed and having installed Linux on 3500 computers, of which 100 laptops, to facilitate the election process throughout Greece. More details here.

Victims of Peace
In my pre-blog era I had read a book ('Victims of Peace' by Vassilis Vassilikos) and wrote an admittedly tiny review of it that was then emailed to several friends. Recently seeing the book on the shelve reminded me of the review and thought it fits well in this blog especially under recent circumstances of non-updatedness.
In a blatant attempt at Self-Plagiarism:
I've read a (greek) book whose title loosely translates into "Victims of Peace".
Overall it's pretty good. Me loves the writing style. Kind of cryptic. It's one of those almost self-referencing things (see "This statement is false") but in a completely story-telling novel way. Doesn't make sense? Sorry, can't express it...
Maybe this will help: In the story, one of the characters is an author who writes the book "Victims of Peace" about his friends. Half the book is mainly an introduction of the characters and the other half puts them together with a common goal. So the question is, which book was i talking about??? The real or the book in the plot. Both.... Along the same lines there's more stuff, on how the book is written: The author of the "real" book dictates the fate of the heroes (cause he writes it). But at the same time, the heroes in the book talk about how the hero author dictates their lives with his book story... weird... but fun.
Also, it so happens that the hero author's girlfriend is named Eirini which means "Peace". Was he a victim of his Love? Is that why he chose the title. no. doesn't seem so. but still a twist. funny.
Overall a good read.

All about us
The TATU girls have done it again. It so happens that their songs are extremely catchy: They will get stuck in your head and just stay there, refusing to go away until you are completely fed up with them.
You doubt me??? Wrong move...
All the things she said
Not gonna get us
There... now have them stay in your head for a while!
I recently heard a relatively new song of theirs, All about us.
I can now claim, with a fair amount of confidence, to know why their songs are so catchy. I've found exactly what they have in common. Being the cryptic that some of you want me to be, I won't give the answer right out. I will instead let you watch a clip of the new song and then give out some more clues.

Go back and face your deepest fear
We have been naughty lately...
A couple of us are attempting to relieve the thrills of life, the kind one gets by experiencing intense emotions from the past. We opted to begin with fear.
The plan went like so:
We must do something that we used to do in the past. Something that "didn't kill us and so made us stronger." We will visit a deserted house, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, at 3 am. We will explore the place, ignoring the presence of wild, barking dogs. We won't hesitate to go inside the house, even if it's dark and creepy. We will avoid using flashlights. We will be prepared for anything, even though we most probably should be prepared for 'nothing at all'.
And so it was... Mission accomplished! Is there a next, and if so what?

Mini-trip to England
I met up with a few ex-UWaterloo students in England a few days ago. Jennifer and Kevin actually work there. John flew over from Sweden and I from Greece.
We visited Stonehenge for 2 days and the remaining 2 we stayed in London.
Jennifer and Kevin were very good hosts, taking us to all must-see places and giving us very good historical information for each. We had our private guides to all museums. Kevin had tons of info on the Egyptian culture as well as the English dynasties. The stories were very entertaining.
London was rather expensive, but overall the trip was totally worth it!
Below Kevin is taking a picture of the rest of us.

Island Hopping 2007
Francis visited Greece this summer and we together embarked on an island hopping trip to several Greek isles. Our trip lasted close to 10 days and included stays on non-islands.
We first visited Possidi, a rather large camping in Halkidiki occupied mainly by University students. Thousands of them. Our main activities included swimming, sun-tanning, beach volleyball and some partying. Francis and I took part in a beach volleyball tournament, but actually lost in the first game. We had rather good opponents and didn't play our best either. The game was close but we both think we could have actually won... Me losing a serve near the end didn't help either, and would under other circumstances have invoked an at-least-a-troisième dumb bitch cheer.
Following our devastating defeat, we left for Athens via train. The plan was to take a ferry from there to Mykonos early in the morning, but luck would have other plans for us, as we lost the ferry. We had to wait till the afternoon to eventually arrive to the island. I liked the island and its windy weather. It was quite crowded, with Italians holding the majority in the population pie. We visited beaches, but overall our trip was not very eventful, perhaps cause we only stayed there for a day and a half.
Naxos was our next stop. A pleasant surprise awaited us: A beach volleyball court at the beach next to our hotel. A chance for redemption! We ceased the moment and immediately challenged any player in the vicinity. The challenge was a success. We effectively decimated every team willing to stand in our way. Go G-Unit Mini!
The second day in the island involved climbing a mountain to eventually reach the Cave of Zeus. The cave was rather large, dark and kind of scary, especially when the bats living there felled threatened by our presence and started making noises, presumably to scare us of.
Santorini was next. I will make the bold statement of saying that it is the most beautiful place I've seen in the world. The natural beauty coupled with breath-taking cliff views are simply phenomenal. I doubt any picture can actually convey the reality. Do visit this island if you ever have the chance!
Our stay in the island ended with some mad dancing. Go G-Unit Mini, once more!
Francis continued his trip to Crete and I returned to my hometown, Thessaloniki.
Overall a very enjoyable summer excursion!

That summer song
Here's the tune that will be considered my summer song this year.
As most good things in life, it's a mix. Kind of rock, kind of pop, kind of its own genre.
Prove me wrong, listen to it and judge.
The song is in Greek, but here's the translated chorus.
Hide, lest I find you and love you
lest I touch the things you feel
lest I bend your confidence
and erase the things we've lived
I'll erase them
Ράλλια Χριστίδου - Κρύψου (Rallia Hristidou - Hide)

On Farewell
We are social creatures. We most of the time enjoy the company of others, and when not enjoying others' company we still remain social, in engaging with ourselves.
I understand the argument is kind of circular and as such the phrase a tautology, but I believe it to be true based on my experience, so to me it's closer to an axiom.
So what happens when we are forced to walk against our nature? It's time for a farewell.
It could be to a family member, a dear friend, a favorite team, an unrequited love or even crush, a person we exchanged lots of smiles in a small amount of time, a perfect stranger at the airport with whom we shared one too many gazes, or ourselves when it's time to leave our-world. The farewell is almost always bitter-sweet, and sometimes addictive.
The recent trip to Paris lent itself to most kinds of farewell to me.
In my search for a video clip able to convey the complicated parting emotions, I settled with an amalgamation of scenes from Jean Grey's Phoenix Saga (X-Men Animated Series). In the video, one can find two spoken farewells, as well as an implied one, which I will leave as an exercise to the astute viewer to discover. If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, then the following video should be worth close to 12,905,000 words.
Farewell!
Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell. [Emily Dickinson]

Paris, the highlights
For this once, I am not referring to miss Hilton's hair.
Instead, I'm referring to the Paris vacation which is now nearing its completion....
Our team managed to finish 8th out of 10 in the tournament's A league.
We could have done better, but our performance on Saturday was way below what it should have been. Sunday however, was a different story! A feisty G-Unit put forward a recital performance against the then 2nd team (who would eventually finish 4th), and we scored an important victory with two winning sets, 20-13 and 20-09. You can see the happiness reflected in our faces below.

The Big Three
The videotape searching spree has been fairly fruitful.
Below I present the Big Three. I am most certainly not referring to C++'s law concerning the copy constructor, assignment operator and destructor. Instead, the Big Three represent three spoof video clips we created a couple of years ago. Without further ado...
Spoof 1: Oops I did it again [Britney Spears]
Spoof 2: Killing in the name of [Rage against the machine]
Spoof 3: Freedom [Rage against the machine]

Chocorello
Every now and then comes an amaZING commercial.
Sometimes it's funny.
Sometimes it's witty.
Sometimes it's sophisticated.
And sometimes it's something else, but always amaZING!
That's the case for the Chocorello ad by Dodoni.
The ad is of the "then" (~ 8 years ago) and "funny" varieties.
I immediately loved it, and a couple of years ago was able to find a video file of it. However when recently trying to view the file it either appeared corrupted or I was lacking the proper codec. Heck, even the amazing VLC wasn't able to play it. Uploading it to Google Video a couple of months ago didn't help either. Its status was 'Failed'. Finding the video online was now impossible. Too many years had passed, it seemed.
To my great surprise, after accidentally updating its meta data on Google Video two days ago (because i was playing with other recently uploaded video files), the file went 'Live'. I can only guess that Google augmented its list of supported formats and my modifications of its meta data triggered a re-evaluation.
Enjoy the video and by all means make your opinion heard: Please, rate Chocorello!!!

300's Historical Elements
'Η ταν ή επί τας. [I tan i epi tas]. (Either with this or on it).
The words a Spartan woman would utter to her child when it left for battle. The words refer to the child's shield and a good translation would be "Either come back with the shield, or (dead) on it".
Μολών Λαβέ! [Molon labe]. (Come and take them).
A very elaborate explanation exists in the linked wikipedia article. I can only add that this is a phrase that carries lots of pride.
Οι Αθάνατοι. [I Athanatoi]. (The Immortals).
A bunch of Xerxes' soldiers, that were truly immortal, no joke. They were immortal in a collective sense, not individually.
Each time an "Immortal" soldier died in battle, another one was immediately sent in it, keeping their total number constant.
Ἐφιάλτης. [Ephialtis]. (Ephialtis).
The traitor who showed the Persians a way around the Greek's defenses (effectively surrounding and decimating them).
The treachery was so deeply engraved as a wound in our spirit that the word "Ephialtes", once simply a name, since then literally means "nightmare".
Ω ξείν, αγγέλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις, ότι τήδε κείμεθα, τοις κείνων ρήμασι πειθόμενοι. [O ksein aggelein Lakedemoniois, oti tide keimetha, tois keinon rimasi peithomenoi]. (Stranger, go tell the Spartans that here we lie, obedient to their laws.)
The Simonidean epigram. Very moving.
I believe the "laws" refer to protection of freedom and no retreat, but I am not certain.

Obligatory...
- I've acquired a TV-Tuner card...
- "Yeah, but does it run Linux?"
- Well, it doesn't run linux, but testing so far indicates it works fine under Linux.
- "But what does that meeeeaaan?"
- In itself, admittedly not much... However, we've also unearthed one of the promised videotapes (the ones containing movies we created during highschool).
The videotape was inspired by The Blair Witch Project.
My plan is to digitize the videotape, add English subtitles and make it available on YouTube/Google video.
You 'll know more details about the movie when it's publicly available...

The Carnival and The Capoeiras
A bunch of us visited Ξάνθη (Ksanthi) for the carnival.
The carnival took place during this past long weekend. It was a cool excursion. An event attended mainly by youths. Lots of craziness going on.
The highlights of the trip?
Witnessing stoned Patricks...
...befuddled Happy Hippos,
and something more... The Capoeiras.
A wonderfully sober bunch performing something bordering martial arts and dancing.

manamanah: Original vs Spoof
Most of us are probably familiar with the Muppet Show.
Some of us grew up watching it.
Few of us actually know the significance of the manamanah song.
A handful of us have had the privilege to watch both the original clip of the song as well as a very funny spoof of it... up until now!
A little bird has informed me that the spoof is now available on Google Video. I'm proud to present both the original and the spoof for your enjoyment. Please vote as to which is the funniest.
As always, patience is well rewarded... Wait till the end of both videos!
The Original:
The Spoof:
P.S. The availability of this video on the net has triggered my desire to find movies that we've filmed with friends back in the old days. Some of the video-tapes have been lost, others await to be found. Hopefully by Easter some of the long-lost videos will have been unearthed and subsequently posted online.

Panathlitikos News
We won 3-0 against Bergina.
The game was relatively easy.
I understand that my blog is becoming kind of monotonous, being dominated by Panathlitikos posts. As such I've decided to create a blog dedicated to Panathlitikos.
That way the goose that understands will remain more personal and less collective.
From now on, expect to find team news at the Panathlitikos Blog.

It was a solid 3-0 without any big surprises. This time the match was not a derby although we were playing against Eukarpia, a team that up until yesterday held first place in our league.
The win bumped us into first place and we will definitely fight to stay there.
