Two months ago i was thrilled. I discovered that Alfred Brendel was coming to Greece, in Athens, for one of his recitals (btw the announced that he will be retired after his scheduled performances in 2008).
I went with my friend Dimitris and bought our tickets and then waited for the big day. Alfred Brendel was scheduled to play Haydn, Schubert, Mozart and Beethoven. The detailed program follows (played in that order):
- Haydn: Piano sonata in c minor, Hob. XVI:20
- Beethoven: Piano sonata No. 31
- Schubert: Improptu 1 & 3
- Mozart: Piano sonata K457
At last the time had arrived, i went to Athens Concert Hall, sat patiently at the designated seat and waited to enjoy the recital.
The first 10 seconds was extremely wonderfull, then the audience decided to transform the piano recital to a piano concerto, and the orchestra (orchestra of coughing i’d say) was the audience and their coughs. When Mr. Brendel ended playing the first sonata, he actually noted that “there is a constant noise from the audience”. He continued to perform (he seemed irritated), but no-one seemed to bother, since the coughing continued.
After the break, the audience creativity really reached the sky. I heard people sneezing, modile phones, doors closing, personal items dropping, people chatting, and some others just playing with their bags producing a variety of noises. One lady (very old) fell asleep during the performance and she dropped her walking stick.
The disrespect for Mr. Brendel continued and after the end of performance. When the recital ended, and the audience applauded (in excitement, maybe because Mr. Brendel passed the test of patience, performing in front of uncivilized baboons), some of them left the hall. The problem with that was that the performer was still thanking the audience. This situation continued (people left all the time) for a few times, and since the applaud continued, Mr. Brendel played a bonus piano piece. Then the recital ended.
I really have to congratulate Mr. Brendel for his performance and patience and i must really say a very HUGE “SORRY” for the disrespect that the audience showed him (when he commented the noise fact, i was really ashamed). His performance was divine, and i cannot imagine what he really could offer, if he played in more friendly environment.
Browsing some source code (actually my own) and I noticed that long is used. The range for this type is from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to +9,223,372,036,854,775,808.
Wow, thats a LOT of expected errors. On the other hand, better safe than sorry

According to a naive facebook test I am Chaotic Neutral.
“You are Chaotic Neutral. You are a Free Spirit.
“Chaos” implies freedom, adaptability, and flexibility. On the downside, chaos can include recklessness, resentment toward legitimate authority, arbitrary actions, and irresponsibility. Those who promote chaotic behavior say that only unfettered personal freedom allows people to express themselves fully and lets society benefit from the potential that its individuals have within them.
People who are neutral with respect to good and evil have compunctions against killing the innocent but lack the commitment to make sacrifices to protect or help others. Neutral people are committed to others by personal relationships.
A chaotic neutral person or roleplaying character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn’t strive to protect others’ freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions.
A chaotic neutral person does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer).
A chaotic neutral person may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it.
Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom from both society’s restrictions and a do-gooder’s zeal.”
Always thought I was Chaotic Good …
