Wordpress 2.6 introduces revisions to each post.
That actually caused my series plugin to break down, but that was fixed by me with two edits.
But the main part is that.. weirdly.. the Wordpress team didn’t put an option to disable these, as they can create useless data records. I, for one, like the feature, but I [...]

This was my forth and my last year of Bachelor studies at the Romanian-American University in Bucharest. I think I’ll start sometime to recap the good and the bad parts, but for now let’s just let it slide ,)
It’s been quite a busy spring and summer..
Thank goodness I took a one month holiday in spring [...]

I’m publishing online my Bachelor Degree paper (thesis; ro. Lucrare de Licență).
Why? Several reasons. One of them is because I think it’s normal to publish your works. The others are all on a need-to-know basis
I’d say it’s not great, ’cause it’s not what I wanted in the first place (things needed prioritization), [...]

One year (and 11 days ago, to be exact) I filed a petition to the National Audiovisual Council of Romania, concerning TV channels doing one-question yes-or-no surveys during talk-shows and presented just the percentages in the end, but not the very low number of voters. And I got reply. Now I’m not saying I changed [...]

A couple of days ago, my Pidgin wouldn’t connect to ICQ any longer.
It seems that the “lovely” ICQ team pushes people to upgrade their ICQ messenger, or else.. to switch to ICQ.
pidgin.im seems to be down, and there’s no solution anywhere, except for a patch 1. But most of us don’t do ICQ builds every [...]

I personally hate it!

Repagination is a little Firefox addon that enables you to load paginated entries on the same web page.
For instance, Google Search results. Or a forum’s topic. Or even better: FlickR streams!
You just right-click on a “Next” link, or on a numbered link, you will see Re-Pagination and choose an action from the submenu. As easy [...]

In today’s (n.r. June 23, 2008) Svenska Dagblade (Dagens Nyheter too), an article was published stating that this autumn a bill introducing tuition fees for higher studies in Sweden will be under vote. If it will get the necessary votes, then starting January 1st, 2010, at the latest, Swedish universities will ask for a tuition [...]

Today, I bumped into a Romanian article entitled “Praise to real women”1:
Femeile celor mai buni prieteni. Prietenele celor mai bune femei. Femeile-cele-mai-bune-prietene.
Femeile care se gândesc la futut la fel de mult ca şi noi, dar au decenţa să nu vorbească la fel de des şi de urât despre asta. Femeile care ne trimit cadouri, care [...]

I have switched to Firefox3 from Flock1!
I liked the social-browsing catchy title, but the reality is that Flock1, along with my plugins, turned into a “social-slowing”. One of the plugins, mine or Flock’s, managed to increase the memory usage by each page I visited reaching even 600 MB.
I managed to have almost all my old [...]
