WP 3.0

Whilst I’m sitting in a train which is driving me to the airport I’d like t mention that recently I’ve upgraded to WP 3.0. It was a straightforward on-click procedure. Can’t speak of any single great advantages which this update has brought to me but presumably the biggest one is that nothing has broken so […]

Living in a rush

Freelancer. Count me in.

I’ve been hatching this idea for a long time but only on the last week I took the final decision and registered on Freelancer.com. It’s hard to tell what was the catalyst to become a part-time freelancer but I think there were several that drove me: Curiosity Social aspect. Yes, you read it correctly and […]

Introduction to algorithms

I highly recommend everyone to view this outstanding MIT course dedicated to algorithms and their efficiency. This course is especially interesting to those who, as myself, want to lift a veil of the education process in the US and how different subjects are being taught.

Abrupt clock change in SC

Today is 828 days after SC on one of ours SF6900 servers was rebooted for the last time, meaning that it’s exactly 828 days of uptime. And it’s one of the contributing factor to be beaten by 6567546 bug. Another one is the SC’s version and if its less than 5.20.7 – you’re affected as […]

Who cares about TCO and ROI?!

As expected people care less about buisness acronyms and high words i.e. TCO, ROI, integrted stack, when real money are involved.

Tender thanks for invitation

As I mentioned in my last post there is going to be a planed Oracle+Sun welcome event on the 20th of May in Moscow Marriott Hotel and, nevertheless, I was a bit skeptical about my chances to be allowed to attend this event I still received the confirmation today.
