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.

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 […]

For some reason, the plugin does not run when a new post is published. I guess some cron problems. So, the option is to run it manually or don’t upgrade. I still haven’t found a replace plugin for it.
