I’ve read two articles in the last weeks asking the question if blogs are on their way out. They are not. But it’s getting harder for the new blog reader to find good blogs to read. The blogosphere got crowded in the last two years with a lot of so-called experts, people with unclear expertise […]

A few years ago, when i got my job at MPI, a few people outside the company found out very quickly what i did. I am against this type of things, i like to build now and brag about it later, not brag about it before doing it, how it’s customary in the Romanian internet. […]

The problem is not how fast is the search, but rather how relevant is. But Google started it and everybody follows. Uuu, let’s index twitter. Why? Who cares about twitter? That is right, nobody. Is twitter relevant? No, not really. So, Google chooses one more time the easy road. Rather than fixing his search results […]

Last week a had a lovely job offer. Twice the money i make now, plus benefits. I had to move back to Bucharest and work in a big company. I had to say no, but the man asked me to think about it. On the drive back home i started thinking. The money are never […]

Last night i’ve met Marcin Grodzicki, a polish antrepreneur who has an automated banner selling solution, adtaily, that would be very helpful to bloggers. Talking to him made me realize that i lack practice of speaking english. That must be fixed.

America is debating the healthcare reform just about now. To the best of my knowledge, they do not have any healthcare coverage at all, and they must look into the private sector if the want to be assured. Of course, this is extra. That is not good. At the opposite side is Romania. We have […]

He single-handed exposed the weak tech journalism. Using his twitter account, Mr.. Calacanis started posting fake and easy guess-able Apple iPad specs, ours ago before the official announcement. Some journalists believe him and posted “the news” on their sites. Of course, now they feel dumb, and I agree with Loren they should be, if they […]

W3 Total Cache is a good plugin. My main blog has quite a bit of traffic, so a cache solution is required. I’ve used HyperCache for a while, because it had better results than Wp-SuperCache. A few days ago I stumbled on to W3TC. I didn’t give it much chance at first, but after a […]
