I’ve been involved in the Romanian Internet for over 6 years and during this time I’ve accumulated a lot of information. The least of my favorite part is the personal gossip. People fail to understand that a blogger writing about business decisions is not interested about who is leaving his wife for the secretary and […]

…i built a small business having only my father’s name as a door opener and a few hundred dollars. I wanted to prove myself, and to him, i could do it. I sold it to him and his partner two years later and moved on to other things i wanted to do. I read all […]

Some time ago i found myself talking with heads of a investment fund looking for opportunities to invest in the Romanian internet. Aside my legendary gloom and discomfort with the way things are going in this industry, we tried to find unconquered niches to exploit (please remember this was a 2010 discussion, some things may […]

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 […]

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 […]

I was on the toilet, reading one of the few magazines i still buy on a regular basis. And realized why people are buying fewer and fewer newspapers. The web did not kill the press.
