The problem with freelancing…

One of the reasons I am beginning to hate email

25 January 2016

I am an organised individual: I like to keep my house, my computer, my tool shed, my yard in order. My inbox has now 12 emails, all read, some of the in progress, some of them not needing answering. I get about 100 emails a day. Half subscriptions or automated ones. The rest human emails. It’s […]

Life has a lot of grey

6 February 2012

I consider Dragoş Novac a guy I can learn a lot from, even though he is stubborn and antisocial, two qualities i hold dear. To my disappointment with the Romanian online industry, he told me life has a lot of grey and wisdom comes with age. Maybe i am too young, but i consider respect […]

when i was young…

When to quit

25 January 2012

I look at some Romanian journalists and TV personalities as they turned clowns because they did not know when to quit (Cristian Tudor Popescu comes to mind). And some others, that knew when the change scenery, because there was nothing left for them there: some took jobs in banks, some opened businesses: Radu Coşarcă, Cosmin […]

Dreaming in detailed lines

22 November 2011

I used to be work as a DTP for a small advertising agency in Bucharest. There I learned to pay attention to details. For instance once i rebuild in Photoshop the hand of a man on a poster. That is why i can’t understand the motivation of people putting online bad pictures of their friends. […]

Companies banning bloggers

5 August 2011

In 2008, I wrote a review of a new phone. I am more of a journalist than a tech expert, so my opinion was from the consumer side, not from the techie who’s impressed by the accelerometer, whatever that is. The review was mixed, with good and bad, again, focusing on what the consumer needs. […]

Easy jobs

2 May 2011

In teh past few days i’ve been approached by people asking or offering me easy jobs. Consulting or seo or other stuff like that. There is no challenge in optimisation. The real challenge is finding something new to write about. And doing it creatively and making people think and interact with your text.

I like people who make their own rules

5 March 2011

The easiest thing a person can do is quote other people. That one said that, this one that, they are experts in their filed and their opinion is the only one that matter. True up to a point. The people who succeed in life beyond “i got a job and a wife and that is […]

The worst part of job hunting

1 March 2011

is the concept that, no matter where you will go, you will have to deal with incompetent people. The type that suck the will to live from you and stop you from doing your job. And they are everywhere, and they are happy with their techniques of life-sucking.
