OMG, huge protest!! We are in the middle of a massive government protest!! Military is deployed. Streets are shut down. This is crazy. SO MANY PEOPLE!
I got stuck in the middle of a protest against Macedonia once, I recorded some of it, mostly people setting the Macedonian flag on fire and saying "F*ck Macedonia" in Albanian. Actually the latter part became a chant that tons of people got involved with, must have been thousands, and I thought "I'm stuck here, aren't I?"

50 min gym session over lunch, then shower and wolfing down food...and I'm back at my desk...more xerox printer issues.
Did I ever mention I hate Xerox..?
We all do. I had them order Canon's and have finally convinced them of their value. Thank god.
I despise Fuji-Xerox (cheap crap), bad experiences with Canons, never heard anything nice about Konica-Minolta, Ricoh are good (Brilliant service), Kyocera are super expensive for toner (for the model that we had), Brother are good for low volume, HP are good for low to mid volume (but good grief, their drivers are bloated. I bet if you poked one with a pin it'd explode) and anything inkjet needs to be Office Spaced.
See Ricoh has been horrendous. Maybe it's the tech's in our areas. My Canon techs are absolutely fantastic.

This is my third in two days, but this one is huge compared to the others.

The picture doesn't really show the scale of it, those people have been passing for twenty minutes and just keep coming.

The one I got stuck in was a couple of years ago, turned into a riot, some cars on fire, things like that, and I couldn't find my car, and they kept moving forward so I sort of went along with it. I'll do anything to impress Albanian women, I guess. "That's right baby, I care, even though I'm a Slav.. what are you doing later?" How I met two exwives.

Do we know what the protests are about?

Either persecution of Albanians or Albanians wanting to protest for Greater Albania, and those are slightly connected.

They were carrying the Macedonian flag, not the Albanian one, though.

I'm asking Macedonians on Twitter that are down the street to see if they know.

If they don't set them on fire, we have an answer.

Ah, I found it. It's a huge ongoing protest over the president pardoning a bunch of high level cronies that were wiretapping and should have gone to jail. The people want the president removed. EU is about to freeze Macendonia's EU applicable due to the corruption levels!

I can't even imagine what kind of things it's going to break when we finally QA all of the software. If anything doesn't use an "approved" algorithm, it just won't work. And we obviously won't be able to change whatever our software does.
The freaking government doesn't even use it. What a joke.

It was 6,000 people marching here tonight!

Apparently @mlnews is in Macedonia with @scottalanmiller !

he might be over the border. Kosovo is just 20 minutes away.

If I knew people would be partying in Macedonia and/or Kosovo, I would've gone to visit my kids earlier.
