1024 days

Posted by Ktoso under fun (No Respond)

Some may think that today is only special because of Christmas, for most people that’s right I guess. But 25.12.2009 is even more special to me this time as today is the 1024th day I’ve been together with my girlfriend – now that’s a fun “coincidence‘ (if you believe in such things ;-) Merry X-Mas [...]

Aiming Higher…

Posted by Ktoso under coding (No Respond)

Posted by Ktoso under coding, fun (No Respond)

As any JEE interested developer I’ve heard lots of praise aimed at JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA. And then it became open source… Of course I tried it out right away and was shocked how brilliant it was.

Today another Java User Group Meeting (more info) was held… This time at my university (AGH – University of Science and Technology). :-) I wasn’t there from the beginning as I had some work to do, but I managed to get there after the “pizza-pause” and listen to: Miroslav Kopecky, talking about Matlab in Java [...]

FDM – Not Libre but still a better way of selling music

Posted by Ktoso under freedom (No Respond)

A week ago a friend of mine told me about an interesting idea by FDM (Fabryka Dźwięku z Muz – pl. ‘Factory of Sounds from Muses’ (it’s kinda hard to translate)). FDM is a small music label, supporting new and fresh artists (indie, could be a good word here I guess). As such, it’s not [...]
