Mein bestellter WLAN-USB-Stick lag heute im Briefkasten. Da mein alter #Stick eine zu geringe #Datenübertragungsrate hatte, habe ich mir gestern extra einen schnelleren, linuxfähigen Stick bestellt. Die 'Installation', wenn man es überhaupt so nennen kann, war denkbar einfach: Stick einstecken, fertig. Einfacher geht es wirklich nicht! Dabei hatte ich mich innerlich schon auf eine regelrechte Installations-Odyssee eingestellt. #Linux überrascht mich immer wieder aufs Neue.

اسْـتِـئْـسـاد / اسْـتِـسْـبـاع (bullying);

This is my 3rd shot in the series of matches, which is supposed to be a "side project" (but honestly, it's like it is the main project at the moment). In this shot, I depict the concept of bullying and what it would do to the person, mentally and on the level of self-esteem; well, at least how I imagine it. As with the other two before this shot, and for the rest to come, it stems from personal experiences. Maybe the common image of bullies are focused on certain age range, but of course who experience or witnessed such acts can well identify the expansion of such age range outside the typical early age of adolescence. As I grew up, I've been bullied in school (of course), on all levels, and then in college I was also bullied, but somehow in a different way, as I was a subject of mockery for girls (for various reasons, one of them was that I had better grades than them in one of the classes, no kidding). Bullying, also, is not limited to the outside world, but it includes (and even started) with my "interior" world, till this very day.
Anyway, putting history behind and moving to the technical and aesthetic stuff. I had to think of a way to bend the matchstick here, so I soaked it in water for a day or so (actually I was planning for few hours only but totally forgot about it with the mess I have at home!). Luckily the match burned well (after drying it in front of a fan!).
