OK, so this one comes via Bill Gross, but I so couldn’t resist to spread it around — if you know your physics you will find it hilarious! (And if you don’t, you’ll just think I’m an uber-nerd :D) Einstein, Newton, and Pascal are hanging out one afternoon. Einstein is bored, so […]

“Proper” Rugby Ball
As you probably know from my previous posts, I keep a (rather hopeful) eye on the evolution of Romanian Rugby. And after a couple of years of looking around, I got this awesome present (thanks, sis!) — an official Romanian Rugby Federation, matchday ball: All I have to do no is to put my name […]
Perf4J and Object Creation/Destroy
If at any point in your coding life you had to measure some component performance, chances are that you came across Perf4J at some point. To quote from their own website: Perf4J is to System.currentTimeMillis() as log4j is to System.out.println() There are of course other ways to measure timings of components execution, however, I found […]
The Rugby Team Principle
I guess I’m no rugby expert but I am an avid fan — those of you who know me can probably testify for that. My passion for the sport goes to the point of considering rugby the ultimate sport – as I believe it has a bit of every other sport in it – and […]
Playing Around with Buffers

So I started this little exercise partly to demonstrate some of the powerful Buffer-based classes […]

So Me!!! Brilliant Postcard!
Just got this in the post the other day (thank you!!!) — I think it pretty much sums up every one of my days nowadays 🙂
Updates Services / WordPress
OK so for a while I’ve been keeping an eye on who and what and how indexes my blog, trying, like all the other bloggers out there to get a bit more “traction” (I looooove Silicon Valley slang 😉 ) for my blog. Part of this, is not just relying on the standard Google or […]

Just back from a weekend @ Chillits 2012 — hardly had the time to take any photos, but for what it’s worth here they are:
8,000+ Page Views a Month!
Back in February/2012, I’ve hit 3,000+ page views a month — big milestone for a small blog like this, I’m sure you’ll all agree! It appears traffic has been on the way up though, as my latest look at the Wassup stats reveals over 8,000 page views for the last month! And that is, as […]
