As of yesterday, I have now a (temporary) Californian driving license — need to still go through the actual driving test it seems (though the irony is that I will drive my car to the testing centre — on my British license! — then take the test, and even if I fail it — can’t […]

WP-Syntax Gotcha for Dealing with Less Than and Greater Than Signs
I’ve been digging for a while now into how to fix this annoying issue that I’m having with WP-Syntax plugin when writing code which contains less than (<) or greater than (>) — which, let’s face it, if you have an if / while / for in the code is bound to happen! The trouble […]
Exhibition artisticlab.org in Bucharest
On Tuesday, 22nd of May 2012, artisticlab had an exhibition in Bucharest. Unfortunately, being in California and all that, I wasn’t there for the live event, but I am lucky enough to be the receiver of some of the photos taken at launch. As to be expected, this was very well received by the public, […]
Spelling Lesson a la California :-)
Time to review my English writing skills it seems — either that or do some research on this new type of berry out there, probably only specific to Northern California I guess : STAWBERRY!!! (Related by any chance to STRAWBERRY I wonder, or just a simple coincidence? 😀 hmmmmm)
Nice One, LinkedIn!
Just logging into LinkedIn today I saw they announced their Q1 2012 revenue — now the numbers themselves are impressive, but what caught my attention was the brilliant starting slide of their presentation: the very people who made LinkedIn get to this stage: Absolutely brilliant!

So if you’re a Carbonite user and you find this feature I’m asking for is worth anything, would love some feedback on this […]
RMISockFactory — New Open Source Project Started on SourceForge
I thought I’d post this on my blog as well since this seems to get a lot of attention nowadays (it certainly seems to get a lot of visitors!). I just started a new open-source project on SourceForge.net — I know you github fans will jump at my throat for using sf.net and not github, […]
WTF … Google?
Today I have been one of the dumbasses who end up typing the URL of a web page in the Google search box and hitting ENTER without thinking. I was trying to open up Cognitive Match‘s web page @ www.cognitivematch.com — and through the above mistake I got Google to search instead for www.cognitivematch.com. Oh […]
Batch Source Formatting in Eclipse Indigo
This has been bugging me lately — how to do a batch formatting using Eclipse! If you plug things like Checkstyle (and PMD to a certain extent) in your project build, you get bugged every now and then when someone else makes a change with stuff about tabs/spaces, brackets being on the same line or […]
More Photos of Constanta in Winter, Feb 2012
These are actually pretty awesome — taken by my parents, after the sea has trashed the coast it seems, in Constanta, Romania:
