Ages ago, when this blog was still hosted on WordPress.com, I had written a post, comparing several project hosting solutions. Well, things have changed since then, and I have found a couple more that I want to share. At the time I was working on a student project and all I needed was some source [...]

Who’s the Outdated One?
Mozilla obviously assume everyone else is using Internet Explorer:
CHM Bookmarking
I read a lot of eBooks. They come in many formats each with its own specifics. It’s usually hard to get used to all of them for different reasons (that’s why I’m buying a Kindle, but that’s for another post), but one feature that I think is a must-have to read eBooks is bookmarking. Since [...]
Bottom Limits, Top Limits
Treating all customers the same and treating every customer well is putting a bottom limit on frustration – you can’t go too bad if you do it. Treating customers differently gives you the opportunity to make your best ones love you. In college I only studied Intro to Marketing for one semester, and it was [...]
Why do I blog?
Blogging entered my world about two or three years ago. I remember looking through a book in the student library at AUBG, titled Essential Blogging. I had no idea what the book was about, but looked at what the authors had to say and developed an interest in the topic. I started reading blogs sporadically, [...]
Mobile Charging Station
Found a picture in Guy Kawasaki’s blog from the QlikView conference. I wish we had more stations like this in public places. Could this be a viable business model, or is it worthless, having in mind the efforts put into standardizing mobile phone chargers?

I’m a bit of a control freak when it comes to how my computer is configured. I like to be aware of how things happen and why they do. Currently on a Windows system, the thing that irritates me the most is the Windows Registry. A nasty, unknown shared resource used by almost all applications [...]
Chrome Experiments
Are you using Google Chrome? A while ago I talked about how this browser’s introduction into the market would affect the other players. I don’t know what’s the situation today, I only know they released a final 1.0 version and are out of beta. For me, the speed and user experience that I have in [...]
Google Marking Their Own Messages as Spam
You’ve probably already heard about the new interest-based advertising Google is launching. If you haven’t, here’s a link to the ReadWriteWeb article. The funny thing is, as an AdSense subscriber, I got a message from them today, and they marked it as Spam in Gmail. See for yourself: Now the question is, are Google really [...]
You Are Reading Blogs, Right?
A stupid question, I know. Especially after you are already reading this. But I’m fascinated about the fact that so many people I know still don’t read blogs on a regular basis or don’t use RSS or Atom or some other publishing protocol reader. For me, blogs are the primary way to stay informed about [...]
