It’s been known for a while now that I have taken on the role of CTO of The Linus Group. It has been said at the time about this that I am changing my area of expertise, since I left Magnetic / Cognitive Match who were clearly focused on online advertising to join a company […]
This one is another good find from the maven “gotchas” archives. Good enough at least to make it onto my blog 🙂 I brief, I’ve been pulling my hair for the best part of yesterday trying to figure out what’s going wrong with my maven-based project, which used to work otherwise fine until recently. It […]
I finally got myself one of those smart watches, and since I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and quite pleased with the Samsung products and the way they integrate, I went for the Samsung Galaxy Gear Watch. I’m not going to go on about where can you buy and how much, a simple search […]
OK, I’m arriving a bit late to the discussion about browsers beginning to block 3rd party cookies by default, however, I was on the fence of this initially. And more to the point, I thought this would be just a trend that will come and go — but it seems that I was rather wrong […]

I just had this thought just now and I thought I have to start writing down these “product ideas” — which are just random ideas of small improvements for various products that come to my mind every now and then — as otherwise nothing will happen. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect that simply […]
The title would no doubt puzzle quite a few of you — after all I’m putting in the same sentence a low-level, processor-specific language (for no better term for “assembler” — I know, I know, I know, “it’s not really a language”, right?) with a rather high-level, even platform-independent language like Java.
