While I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the writing section, my indie press "Insomnia Publishing" launched this week. I'm excited and nervous about it.

So, if you're interested in publishing a book let me know! We also offer professional services to self-publishing authors like cover design, typesetting, etc. Self-pub authors need help on their projects, and knowing they can have the same level of attention a traditional book receives (in a good way) should hopefully give them peace of mind!

The website is www.insomnia-publishing.com, and we're on Facebook and Twitter (@insomniapublish). Squee!

Yes, I know that not everyone's using WhatsApp, and it's harder to contact people through it this way.

But now I'm talking about efficiency. And I'll go with WhatsApp Messenger. It is very light and fast, and messages are being sent in a second. It also has more options than Facebook Messenger, which makes it even more worth it.

What about you?

I'm mostly into metal, which is a very heavy and "brutal" genre. But I also enjoy listening to some chill music from time to time, such as ambiental or Celtic music.

I really enjoy Adrian von Ziegler's work. I find him a very talented and dedicated man, and he's also very close to his fans. He mostly makes ambiental music, but he's had some metal projects too.

Eluveitie is also one of my favorite bands. They are folk metal, but they also make traditional Celtic songs, which I find very relaxing and peaceful.

I wanted to know if there's anyone listening to ambiental or Celtic music as well. I'd love to share some artists / bands with you!

Fantasy genre has been my favorite for ages. I simply love that celtic kind of feel it gives me when I read it. I also like to think of myself as a part of that world, living among efls, nymphs, ents and dwarves.

This being said, do you also like fantasy? Oh, and could you recommend me some books? It would be really lovely! Thanks in advance!

During high school, my programming teacher only taught us C++, and she always told us that this language is the "foundation" or programming, and that if you know it, you will eventually know any other languages too. But in my opinion they're still a bit different, and also require a lot of practice.

What do you think? Which is the best programming language to learn first?

Well hello there. I'll start with the basics. My name is Alex, I live in Romania, and I love being creative and sharing my projects with people.

During college I experienced many forms of art and electronic art: from coding to hyper-realistic drawing, music, writing and much more. I only mentioned these four because they are my favorite ways of expressing my creativity.

I hope we will all get along very well in this nice community. Cheers.

I currently have my PC dual booted with Fedora, but I haven't really used Fedora all that much. The gnome 3 interface is a bit eh to me. I was looking into Xubuntu, which is a distribution of Ubuntu that uses xfce instead of their unity interface, and it looks pretty interesting.

Anyone here have any experience with xubuntu? Is it something you'd be willing to recommend?

Okay admit it... who here sits down and binges omegle for whole nights at a time.. next next next! I have met some awesome people on omegle.
And if you dont know what it is, its a random chat site where you get linked up with anyone from accross the world and you can even see them through your webcam and chat with a MIC. Its one of my favorite websites.
I mean.. Its probably better than your average night out on the town if you know how to do it right.
In order to avoid sexually explicit crazy people I set my interests to:
Philosophy, literature, chat, chatting, talk, conversation, happy, awesome

And whatever else sort of neutral / interest specific things you can come with

Burning your literature... Many many times I have spent time writing things and then burnt it, usually if I'm ashamed of it, but also because I see a kind of beauty in embracing the inevitable decomposition of everything. By doing this you are also accepting that the reason you write is purely self-indulgent.
I read a story recently about Buddhists who spend hours making murals out of sand only for the wind to eventually blow them away. Its kind of like sandcastles and ice sculptures too...
Altho, people usually have an Iphone to take a sneaky snaptshot!
