You think this year will be good, and you sell your car to buy more wii? Is anyone buying that? I’m not a games, but i think a Wii does not cost 5.000€. My guess is that he is running out of money. And that is because of his shady practices and bad tactics, the […]

I updated some of my blogs to wordpress 2.9 and when i was trying to upload any pictures. I tried different solutions, including the one with the .htaccess and SecFilterEngine and nothing. While replacing stuff in .htaccess i noticed i had the php_flag display_errors set to off. I turned on and the error I got […]

More on the debate debacle. People think i mind that my position as a top blogger is questioned. I do not. It’s natural for every 6 year old to try to outrun his father. So is the blogosphere. What? He is on top? I can take him, easily! And after years and years, none of […]

From Fake Steve Jobs. My favorite part is: …what the fuck has gone wrong with our country? Used to be, we were innovators. We were leaders. We were builders. We were engineers. We were the best and brightest. We were the kind of guys who, if they were running the biggest mobile network in the […]

Bogdan Gavrila, well known stain on Romanian internet, had a problem a few months ago. While he was the dark force behind the World Blogging Forum, none of the respected bloggers from his native country gave him and WBF any love.

I don’t know about you, but i get longer and longer emails. People just love to fucking write and write and write. No sense about my time at all. I am writing a long email, look at me! I am using a lot of fucking words just to express a simple thing. I developed a […]

In Romania, we are used to people shouting as hard as they can about their success. They do this, they do that, they just opened a new interactive agency, they’ve just rolled a new amazing campaign… Most of it is PR bullshit. And the people who do stuff do not brag about it too much. […]

After the interview with the president, some weird things happen. One of them was in the shape of a black Ford (B-93-ceva), who followed me after I left the building. The other was that, 20 minutes I entered the building, someone posted on my blog saying i was seen entering. Someone from Amsterdam, judging by […]

He granted me a 30-minute interview (in Romanian). He is not that much into social media, but he won the 2004 elections being very cool and loose, as opposed to an uptight Adrian Năstase, his opponent. I am not the first blogger to interview him, but i am the first that got to him by […]
