500px right-click workaround

26 October 2011

WOW! There are still sites that forbid right click. WOW! I thought that practice was gone in 2007 or so. 500px.com is one of them. But I do want to save some of the photos and look at them again and again. There is a simple fix. Go to options » Personal Data » Content […]

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.

Dragoş Roua’s personal brand

6 December 2010

So, there is this Romanian guy, Dragos Roua, who talks a lot about success and entrepreneurship and leading a better life. You know the kind, he is not an expert in any field, but he is riding the “write bullshit about being better” blog train that gullible people read and find useful. Dragos Roua used […]

Over exposure

19 November 2010

Since I left Bucharest (I’ve moved to Berlin, Oradea and now Brasov)  I’ve developed a personal brand strategy. I show up for a few conferences and gigs and people tend to cherish that. I don’t bore people with my presence every time there is an event remotely connected to online, even thought I get invited […]

Searchin’ for me

9 November 2010

I was looking for how people got to this blog. It doesn’t have many links, so people get here mostly by searching for topics related to me. There are a few guys (Bogdan Gavrila, or Mihai Moruzov as he likes to call himself, among them) who search for all king of stuff. I mention on […]

what what?

1 May 2010

I think a lot of people got life wrong. Life is not about gathering stuff (cars, money, houses, gadgets), but rather about living a full life. What is the point of having a lot of money if you work 16 hours a day? When will you enjoy life and your money? Or how? Buying an […]

“smoke’em out”

15 March 2010

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. […]
