7 Years Of Working Out

It’s a little bit strange to write about the 7th anniversary of my first day at the gym after not actually doing any physical activity in the past 2 weeks due to what turned out to be just an infection (which I’m finally treating with some antibiotics.) That’s why it’s also not surprising that I [...]

Taking The Week Off From Running Due To Pain

I’ve been doing the same running routine for quite a while now – 3 times a week, 11.5km. Lately I’ve been experiencing some pelvic pain that refuses to go away. In 2 days I’m going to see an orthopedic doctor but for now, after reading online about some of the possible ailments (like Osteitis Pubis), [...]

First Upgrade For My Computer After Nearly 4 Years

After nearly 4 years since I bought my desktop computer and after complaining about constant thrashing I finally decided it’s time to give it a little upgrade.

Forgotten Experiences

Yesterday I called a friend of mine who is visiting from the US and is staying at her parents’ place. My mind struggled for 2 seconds before I remembered how to say “may I speak with…” It’s been years since I’ve uttered this request. And today my father called to tell me about an interesting [...]

Google Probably Knows Everything About Me…

… but then why do I get Venus women’s razor ads on YouTube? Maybe it’s a “knowing the future” kind of thing. EDIT: OK, this is not funny. Now I got an Always pads ad. What the hell, Google?

Goodbye Unity, Welcome Back Gnome (Classic)

I gave Unity a good chance, but it was simply torture. Maybe it’s the over 3 years old hardware I’m running Ubuntu on, or maybe it’s the servers I’m running on my machine for the project I’m working on, but the hard drive kept thrashing to a point where it was unbearable. Sometimes just clicking [...]
