Just in case you’re wondering where the hell am I and why I am not writing new stuff, I am on a short vacation. It’s holidays time here in Israel, so I took the liberty to split for a couple of weeks. I am actively sweeming in different sees, traveling around the country and sitting [...]
I ran into this beauty few days ago.
It is 2×2×4cm. It is a 55MHz ARM7, with 8MB of RAM and 2MB of flash memory. It has serial and 100/10 Ethernet port. It runs ucLinux.
The price tag is biting a bit. It’s 100€, plus delivery (which can be pricy too). Yet for device so unique it [...]
I usually have something like 10 different articles, on different subjects in stock. Every day I pick myself an article or a couple and add few paragraphs.
Because this is how I work, I often don’t release new stuff for months and then release several huge articles in just one week.
This way of working may make [...]
Marketing is the driving force behind many things. This includes web-sites of course.
Few weeks ago I decided that creating good content for the web-site is not enough. It is important to promote it as well. So I thought if I put so much time into writing stuff, why not spend couple of minutes making sure [...]

Few days ago I’ve found a blogspot user that consistently copies my articles, without asking my permission and without keeping original copyright notice intact. I asked that user to include original copyright notice, but the person chose to ignore my requests. Therefore, I am in process of filing DMCA complaint to google. Sad
After being so decisive about staying with vpsland I went down and tried to upgrade my VPS to Ubuntu 8.04 (from 7.10). Well… Of course it didn’t work. Obviously, with all respect to Aptitude you cannot tell it to upgrade to Xen enabled kernel. I asked vpsland whether they plan to do anything with Ubuntu [...]
I am contantly checking options to improve my web-site. One of the directions is improving the underlying hardware. This web-site runs on a VPS I purchased at vpsland.com. Today, for the first time I ran into a problem with RAM. It seems that 128MB is just isn’t powerful enough for so many services - I [...]
After trying new Wordpress 2.5.1 for a week I decided to stick to it. It is one solid piece of software despite few problems here and there.
New version of wordpress is here and I am trying it out. I tried wordpress 2.5 and it was quiet a disappointment because of the editor. I started a support ticket at Wordpress’s Trac. They say they fixed the problem. So I will give it a try during next few days. Hope it will went [...]
