I just found PostSecret blog. All I can say is wow… You need to check it for yourself. Some of the postcards are funny, some are sad, some are romantic, and some are downright disturbing. But all are true. This … Continue reading →

Someone posted a cartoon parody alternate ending to a New Hope on slashdot. I just spent like 20 minutes downloading this crap! Yes, I’m still on dialup – but that’s a topic for a whole other rant. I finally got … Continue reading →

I was wondering why did Davhal decide to use SourceJammer instead of just plain old cvs. I figured, more mature project probably would be more stable. Well, now I know why. Have you ever tried moving directories around in a … Continue reading →

Yesterday, my grandma told me that she heard on the news that some Polish guy discovered a new planet. It’s hardly newsworthy topic, but it’s always good news when one of our own accomplishes something important. I was wondering if … Continue reading →

The first thing that popped into my mind when I read about the Junxion Box on BoingBoing was – Kurt’s ParasiteNet wifi boxes in Someone Comes to Town… The concept is a little different and EVDO is expensive, but this … Continue reading →

This is the kind of news I like to read – stories about ambitious, intriguing and interesting projects. Nice change from the barrage of stupidity that I have been posting about lately :P Bunch of researches from NEW-TIES (New and … Continue reading →

I just can’t figure out what is going on with this world. The overwhelming stupidity of the people in power scares me. The courts in Australia just ruled that linking to infringing work is in itself an infringement. Now I … Continue reading →

I know this is old and kindoff lame, but I’m bored, and I just found this old bookmark. So here is an attempt to create a South Park version of me. Hmm… Does it even look like me? Spiky hair … Continue reading →

There is an article on Flexbeta titled The End of a Floppy Era. Now maybe I’m wrong, but I was under impression that the Floppy Era ended quite a few years ago. I think that Mr. Joseph McCollum was sleeping … Continue reading →

I just accidentally found Mandy Moore’s flickr account. This is interesting, as it seems to be official – not some fan posting thing. I checked it out and it is linked from her official page. Now I don’t really care … Continue reading →

It seems that Yahoo started cracking down on DMCA violations real hard lately, and in effect opened itself up for really nasty SEO (Search Engine Optimization) exploits. Brian Turner posts about this in his blog: Simply by stating a claim … Continue reading →

I’m very comfortable with the blogger platform and I’m not looking to switch to anything else, anytime soon. But I can’t say it’s not lacking in certain areas. One thing that I always missed here is support for Technorati tags. … Continue reading →

I used to think that no other country in the world can come up with more ridiculous lawsuits than the litigiously minded citizens and residents of the good old US of A. I mean, it’s nothing to be proud of … Continue reading →

Heh… I just waybacked all the way to the orange version ultimatefarscape.com. Check out the whole archive here. Sigh… I have so many fond memories of that place. The archive even allows you to drill down and read some posts … Continue reading →

I stumbled upon this guys page because it got linked at boingboing. His name is Dylan Sisson and he displays his work on his webpage here. I’m not sure but these weird critters somehow speak to me. That is not … Continue reading →

This is an update to my previous post about this. Microsoft openly denied these claims saying: All software is reviewed under the same objective criteria, detection policies, and analysis process. Absolutely no exceptions were made for Claria. in their official … Continue reading →

Yesterday I was bored so digged out Scummvm and decided to play some classics :) So after realizing that I never finished it I digged out Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck’s Revenge. I think I grabbed it around the same … Continue reading →

I just pulled out a brand spanking new Dell Inspiron 600m laptop out of the box and to my surprise, I did not find a WinXP CD inside. Instead I found a piece of paper directing me to go to … Continue reading →

Microsoft just downgraded Claria spyware detection! This kind of stuff really pisses me off. It seems that Microsoft has decided that Claria is their new best buddy (now that they are planning to buy it) so products like Gain are … Continue reading →

Here is my end review of Cory Doctorow’s strange, yet very intriguing book Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town. I must say that this is possibly one of the strangest books I have read lately. Cory Doctorow manages to … Continue reading →

Yay! EU has dropped the patent directive! From that article: The European Parliament on Wednesday rejected a proposed law to create a single way of patenting software across the European Union, a blow to big companies who had pushed hard … Continue reading →

It is very, very irritating when people can’t use the software they like. I mentioned it before, but I’ll say it again – learn the keyboard shortcuts and use them. There is nothing more infuriating than watching someone to right … Continue reading →

Well… It seems that as of June 23 it is illegal to distribute pr0n without creating a crazy amount of paperwork thanks to the 18 USC 2257: The U.S. Government has passed “18 U.S.C. § 2257”, which effectively shuts down … Continue reading →

Here is a picture I took near the place I work. Note the way the sprinkler system is set up. If you look closely you can see that the jet of watter overshoots the sidewalk, the little strip of grass … Continue reading →

I decided to contribute to this campaign and show my support here (even though hardly anyone reads me anyway). If you live in europe, please do not let this patent crap happen in your country. I got the idea from … Continue reading →
