One week in the USA or between San Francisco and LA.

It’s really unbelievable that sometimes even the wildest dreams come true and I had a chance to visit the USA and spent a whole week from the 10th till the 17th of November. After quite a long flight, roughly 13 hours, we landed in LA airport safe and sound, took a quick connection flight to […]

Is technical support worth its money? Not so sure.

I can’t stop wondering why the absolute majority of all support requests I or my colleagues have dealt with in the past were treated, let’s say, in a strange way. The vendor would fight, yes fight, very hard in attempt to defend itself and redirect the blame on the customer or another vendor if that […]

Work hard and it would pay off.

Surprisingly, how a long and productive day could turn all upside down and make me fill contended and refreshed even when the previous day brought a body of disappointment.

Even after 30 you could be a good student

A week ago I received a Statement of Accomplishment of Cryptography course that proves that there is always a chance for a challenge and to learn something new. Don’t give up, strive to broad your vision and extend your personal knowledge base. Pluck and join the class of your choice at www.coursera.org

Just boring

The title says it all. Nothing is happening at all and I feel stuck in the dead calm. Below are the most noticeable events that have taken part recently: The first part of Crypto class is over with the next portion expected to be offered somewhere during the autumn.

Back to school

Registered for the free online classes presented by Stanford University: CS101 Cryptography Computer security I do really hope I would have enough time to keep pace with the lectures, wouldn’t brake the timings and eventually finish all the classes I’ve subscribed to.

Bye-bye google reader

After Google had introduced an updated version of the Reader and deliberately turned it into a clunky, shitty and hard on the eyes application, I decided to pack my bag and move all my feeds to www.newsblur.com.

WordPress from iPhone

Gosh! Almost two months have passed from my last post and I didn’t have time to write a single word after that. I even had to install a wordpress application on my iPhone in hope it would help to me to update the blog more frequently. I’m not complaining and to tell the truth that […]
