Some time ago I found an annotation of the talk Kathy Sierra gave at (don’t remember which) conference. I’m republishing it here to spread the good knowledge. Read slowly, it is fantastic! If we want to create passionate users, we need to help them get better. ‘Nobody’s passionate about things they suck at.” Many people [...]
I haven’t made a new post for a long time – sorry for that! In fact I was quite busy and there were more important things in my life – we all have such periods. Recently my girlfriend dropped me a link to a short video explaining what it means to be a leader – [...]
Just found this amazing short movie by Pixar. Brilliant!

Last week I made a special haircut to show my support to Linux and Gentoo in particular. Isn’t it beautiful?
Update: There is a nice replacement for coremoid plasmoid in KDE 4.3.x. It shows kernel and user space usage in different colors, shows swap usage, etc. I find it more useful than coremoid. You may want to try it instead of coremoid plasmoid. I’ve been using Coremoid plasmoid since KDE 4 was available only in [...]

I’ve been picking up a decent PHP & Python IDE for some period and decided to try Aptana Studio. I had Eclipse with PHPEclipse installed for some time but then dropped it because I thought it was too slow. Aptana Studio isn’t faster than Eclipse + PHPEclipse in any way but I liked it. This [...]
As many of you already know the KDE team has released a stable version of KDE 4.2. I’ve been running KDE compiled from trunk (genkdesvn) with the latest features and bugs for a half year but now I feel tired of fighting with the bugs and since I don’t report them to KDE team anyway [...]

Yesterday Daniel Albrecht landed badly just a hundred meters away of the finish gates in Kitzbühel, Austria on a downhill training course. A serious mistake and a crash that will likely take months to recover. Most likely he just didn’t expect a jump from such a steep track. I’m a fond of skiing and giant [...]

I would like to share my experience with JFS – Journaling File System developer by IBM. While searching for a fast and robust file system for the root partition of my Gentoo installation I noticed that most pick either ext3 or ReiserFS. Both are good FS and I have dealed with both of them. However [...]
