I'm moving this summer, tell me where to
May 2nd 2012, 03:48 CEST by Milan Brezovský I know this is a weak attempt to add a new topic to the front page, but why not. I'm leaving my job at the end of May. Then I want to start working on my own projects. My flatmate is moving out by the end of June, so my boring options are 1. find a new flatmate 2. move to a different apartment within Prague Or, you know, I could just try something new. Let’s say I want to spend up to 800 € per month for everything, incl. the rent. So let’s say 400 € rent, 200 € food, 200 € internet, phone, mass transit and a minimum of fun. My requirements are: - I need to be able to be there without a visa, or with an absolute minimum of paperwork. I don’t mind being there 3 months and then moving elsewhere. - I cannot stand more that 22 degrees Celsius to function. - I prefer politically stable governments, which is to say, nowhere on Earth. My candidates are: - Iceland, I could get a tiny room for like 320 €. I love the nature. I don’t mind the weather. I could hang out with Gaggle. - Scandinavia. I seem to get along well with people from there. - Poland. I haven’t done much research, but again, friendly people + the language (basics) should be relatively easy to learn. - New Zealand - although I don’t want to fly there + care about a visa. I could stay 3 months on a visitor visa. - Balkan - Serbia, Croatia, Romania? Haven’t done any research yet. In general, I would prefer English-speaking countries. UK seems too expensive and I don’t trust the political scene there; I don’t care about USA except for my friends there; Canada also seems to grow more immigrant-unfriendly, and most of other EU states are too expensive or unable to accommodate lazy ass like me who doesn’t speak anything useful but English. I might also just couchsurf around Europe for a few months to see the world and then settle down wherever I like, after experiencing the culture for myself (or just return to Prague). |

I have a spare room at the #skypad. But I'll be moving soon myself. |

I really enjoyed Iceland while I was there and it meets the important temperature requirement. It's also a very beautiful place during the winter, I cannot imagine how splendid it will be during the summer. Gaggle is a fine chap to share a beer with, too. That said I think it can feel real small real fast. Prague is a city of over a million, Iceland is a country of 1/3 that. Reykjavik, while a terrific place, won't feel much like a city to you, but a quaint town. In addition I don't think that you will find that it is cheap. Most things are imported and that adds cost. Where are you moving m0nty? <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Shit, cannot believe this topic made it. Thanks, Gabe. 5am, I need to get packing for the funeral, will be back in 24 hours to explain the situation. I want to pack my life into a suitcase, so moving costs wouldn't be any bigger than a check-in luggage. I found a tiny (19sq m with shared bathroom) apt in Reykjavik for like 320 EUR, which would be acceptable. Or I could just stay there 3 months since I'll be working from home anyway. I'm starting my own shitty webgames soon. Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.

Elsewhere within Melbourne, Poofster. New woman. Need bigger house, namsayin. |
|
Get a dog up ya. |
|
Harsh but fair. |
|
Any of you crappers live in San Francisco? I'll be there for work late next month(June 25th - 30th). |
|
Why do you distrust the political scene in the UK? It's been a pretty stable democracy since, like, the 17th century or something. |
|
Constant cctv surveillance. Intermittent rioting. |

As soon as you step outside of London you will discover a nation of people who do not give a flying fuck about the Olympics. "One part disembowels me while another slowly eats its way through the gas line. As I bleed out on the floor, it reminds me that I need to buy milk." - Jibble

They still will be affected by it, no? Not as much as the ones in & around London, obviously, but still more than they would be in another country. ¤ "Apple hates everyone now." - BJB

Kickstart Republique! $20! <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

No way is that thing going to make it over the hump. They got in too late in the bubble. |
|
Yea, no way it's going to work but I gotta to my part and try to socialize it to re-bubble it. I kicked in $20. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

I'm going to back the project, but the guy is about to find out why there aren't any "real" games on iOS/mobile. Because no one's going to fucking wait until Q32013 to make/play a game. Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.

Well, maybe I was wrong and they just suck at marketing. Republique is up $100k from yesterday, so they might yet make it. Deadlock: "stable" democracy, as in, no bloody revolutions, doesn't mean I like the decisions of your government, or have a gut feeling that I'd feel comfortable in that country, based on random news articles like something about outsourcing some police tasks to private contractors, etc. I'm not doing investigative journalism here, and I'm not saying UK is a bad country to live in, or that your freedom of speech is in immediate danger (unless your name is Assange). So far I'm inclined towards Tallinn / Estonia. The couchsurfing community there is active, the apartment prices range between nice and amazing, 46% of population speaks English, the weather is nice, it's close to Finland and St. Petersburg for trips, so for now it fills my criteria. Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.

#8 by OwenButler Any of you crappers live in San Francisco? I'll be there for work late next month(June 25th - 30th). Email Trunks and get him to take you on a tour of the Lucas Ranch. "I hope you one day decide to smarten the fuck up so I can stand to look at your posts." - gaggle

What's up Shadarr? You feel off the #planetcrap. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

What a surprise, 80% of developer jobs in Tallinn are for Skype. I guess I could try that eventually; I like how their requirements include - User Focused & Humble - Disruptive & Fun - Fast & Decisive - Respectful & Honest I will sure try my best to be disruptive!

... Sounds like job hunting is very different there. "programmers talk from a very deep gnome cavern, full of gold mechanics" - wisdom from the ancients

If you bring up the fact that disruptive and humble are a bit of a mutex, do you get nerd points? REMEMbER DESCENT THE HIGHEST FORM of PATRIOTiC

|
So... Diablo III right? |
|
In a few hours. |
|
I've skipped D2 so I'm in no hurry to play it. Actually, seeing as I'm exchanging my desktop for a notebook with a low-end graphics card next month, I'll be glad if I can run Torchlight 2, which I'm kinda curious about. Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.
|
|
Diablo 3 stress test stressed my PC when playing with 3 or 4 players. Not sure if it's for me. Torchlight 2 beta, by comparison, did not punish my PC with 4 other players (5 total). As much as I'd like to play D3 with crappers (and I might break down eventually), I'm not sure it will be a good experience with my PC's CPU at the minimum end. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

It runs great for me as a single player game. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.
|
|
It even runs on my Mac Mini. |
|
I had a good time duoing with my brother up to about level 12. Got past the beta content. |
|
I buckled and got it. Apparently Blizzard is buckling, too, cause no one can play. What a bunch of shit heads. At least it seems to run better than during the stress test. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Actually it would run great for me as a single player game if that was it was. Instead it's an online game whose servers seem to be down alot. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.
|
|
I've had only one instance of getting booted from the server, for like 5 mins. Otherwise it's been fine. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

of course I had to create a new battlenet account as my old one is either hacked or I totally don't remember it at all. ID is lpmiller#1776. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

Ah yes and I'm gaggle#2494 |

I'm just happy it runs on my 2 year old Macbook Pro so I can play in bed. Haven't tried multiplayer yet though. jjohnsen#1778 |

I'm looking for a TV series (from probably PBS), where they tell you how something/an invention came to be. The one show I watched and do somewhat remember was something like "How Air Condition was invented". All the shows were hosted by the same guy I believe. Started out I think with something about mosquitoes and malaria and blah blah blah blah 30 or 40 minutes later...and that's how AIR CONDITIONING came to be. Anyone know? Thx! Zep-- w0rd up!
|
|
Connections? Don't forget garnishes such as: Fish shaped solid waste.
|
|
It is definitely Connections and I love that series too. |
|
That is it! Thx! On net flix or anywhere by chance? Zep-- w0rd up!
|
|
Are we your google now? Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.
|
|
Hey PlanetCrap, is that rain? "I hope you one day decide to smarten the fuck up so I can stand to look at your posts." - gaggle
|
|
Yes, Zooey. |
|
Thanks, Gabe! Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.
|
|
Hey motherfucking Siri, I need you to remind this motherfucker that he needs to make some risotto tonight. |
|
I would have googled it but there wrer too many snakes on that mother fuckin plane! Zep-- w0rd up!
|
|
Turns out they are all (most) on youtube, jamesburkeweb channel. Zep-- w0rd up!
|
|
There's also "The Day the Universe Changed", an ancillary series by Burke. However, if you watch S1E1 of "Connections", you do get a nice creepy 911 thing going on. REMEMbER DESCENT THE HIGHEST FORM of PATRIOTiC

WTF. Seriously PSN...starting 5 days off, a wallet full of dough to buy entertaining things, and you're down? fufufufu Zep-- w0rd up!
