Dreaming in detailed lines

I used to be work as a DTP for a small advertising agency in Bucharest. There I learned to pay attention to details. For instance once i rebuild in Photoshop the hand of a man on a poster. That is why i can’t understand the motivation of people putting online bad pictures of their friends. […]

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.

Ditching W3 Total Cache in favor of WP Super Cache

17 February 2011

I was using W3TC up until a couple of days ago. The plugin has many great features, but does a poor job halding post pages with comments and the users get annoyed when they post a comment and the page goes blank. WP-SC is a much better alternative. Much easier to set up and does […]

Healthcare for everyone?

31 January 2010

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 […]

What are you reading about Romanian internet?

17 November 2009

When you disrupt dishonest businesses, you expect to read a lot of dirt about yourself. That includes that your traffic is not what you say it is, that you blackmail people, that you lie for a living. I am used to this, because i hear it every day, from different people. Bogdan Gavrila is such […]
