Whilst browsing the Internet I recently ran into an interesting (and probably totally unreallistic) idea: universities should be free from charge for all students. Their (i.e. universities') income should be funded exclusively off a tax charged unconditionally from all alumni for the first years after they graduate. This would - …

While surfing the Internet I recently found an interesting (although completely incomprehensible) proof of a conjecture stating that 0, 1, 8 and 144 are the only perfect squares in the famous Fibonacci sequence. For greenhorns: Fibonacci sequence starts with 0 followed by 1, then each subsequent terms is a sum …

A little bird told me that car insurance prices are going up again this year - both in Ireland and in other EU countries.

  As Confucius used to say, shit happens. He was a smart lad so there is no point not to believe him. Shit that happens to happen is usually a bad shit. More or less. Ocasionally you discover that some of the bad shit happens only to unravel a surprisingly …

Few years ago I made a small purchase for my blog: a WordPress menu plug-in called UberMenu. A really nice, fully featured, with all the necessary bells and whistles menu replacing the dull and boring thing you get from WordPress by default.

Actually, this is just a place for my stuff, ya know? That's all; a little place for my stuff. That's all I want, that's all you need in life, is a little place for your stuff, ya know? I can see it on your table, everybody's got a little place …

If you still remember my recent post on moving my hosting onto a brand new, shining VPS server (from an old, equally shining one) then I feel deeply sorry for you.

If you ever wondered why, despite all your efforts and Goole-jistsu, you still couldn't get W3TC to detect your local memcached install, well. You haven't googled enough 😉

So, you think you know what "boring" means? You think you've watched some three hours of Parliament discussions about legal ways of composting farms' waste, and you got bored? Well, you haven't seen anything yet. The site you have just reached is the most dull, boring and useless part of …

If you are reading this post, chances are you are either one of my three returning visitors (although there is a possibility that some - or even all - of those three, died of boredom) or you recently tried to update the Yop Poll WordPress plugin from version 4.9.1 to …

Gmail went down for about half an hour this afternoon. This is a second disruption of the service in the last two weeks. I am starting to wonder whether I should move my email to another provider. Any hints? Thoughts?

Somewhen in June 2010 I got my very first smartphone. It was a Samsung Galaxy S. OK, to be completely honest, I used to use one or two Windows Mobile based phones since around 2006 but let's face the truth: Android is to Windows Mobile as is a Tyranosaurus Rex …

Dostałem dziś rano zautomatyzowanego maila z prośbą o wypełnienie ankiety na temat obecnej sytuacji na rynku pracy IT. Obiecano mi, że ankieta będzie krótka oraz anonimowa - zazwyczaj nie wierzę w tego typu zapewnienia, postanowiłem jednak dać ankiecie szansę.
