About
Hi there! My name’s Vera and I’m a 20-something know-it-all-wannabe, who thinks she’s also funny on top of it all. I live in Romania and spend my (working) days developing web applications.
I obviously aim to conquer the Intertube one visitor at a time using this little site, here.1 That is to say, I have this odd impression, that some people might find my otherwise inane ramblings funny.
Behind The Site Name
Lianko = lee-un-co is the phonetisation of a mispronounced Hungarian word meaning little girl or young lady.
Wishing to sound funny, my dad used to distort the pronunciation of the word léányka2 . To any native speaker this would sound like a foreigner’s horribly botched up attempt at pronouncing the word. As it seems though, it eventually grew on me enough to use it as a site name.
About the Webmistress
The short version would describe me as an incredibly snobbish computer programmer, who likes to indulge in web design. The slightly longer version, formulates the previous statement in a way that makes yours truly seem a perfectionist rather than a snob.
My days start either with me cursing at myself for having yet again stayed up late doing nothing3, or making some Earth shattering resolution. Fortunately for my chronic procrastination skills4, extremely few of these resolutions actually survive till midday. I’d never have time to accomplish anything, otherwise. Granted, most of these resolutions are ridiculous, but once in a blue moon a good idea manages to somehow get lost in my scattered brain.
In my free time, when I have miraculously managed to put some distance between the computer monitor and myself, I’m generally out shopping. You’re likely to either find me sniffing along the perfume shelves, gawking at the newest cosmetics shop’s products, or examining various clothes. The downside of all this, is that I tend to buy stuff much too thoughtlessly, and my life long resolution of being anything but girly has dwindled away, two measly months after I started working full time.

What’s this site about? I don’t understand.
My thoughts on the most random things… yes my thought process does jump around this crazily. :B
You really need a Twitter/Facebook account.
I’m not a Twitter fan, and since updates are not happening that often, a Facebook account also seems rather superfluous.
You can subscribe to my RSS Feed if you want to be notified by updates.

- Yes, this question shocked me too, though only very briefly. After that, I proceeded to spend the better part of an hour high-fiving myself.
