Interesting how much effect the new posts have on my blog’s otherwise quite feeble statistics. Well even though it looks nice, it’s still too low to deduct anything about it, and I consider the increase a statistical error. If this trend continues, I might reach and maybe break my all time top of 54… Read More Trends in my blog views
I really hated having to switch languages, when I switched to writing from Hungarian and English. Many times I was writing mail, or working on an article in English, when a Hangouts message popped up where I had all my words underlined by the English spellchecker. Finally after over a year in progress, guys at Google… Read More Google chrome finally supports multi-lingual spell checking
This is the third article in my 21 day blogging marathon. It is not quite as polished, as it could be. Join the marathon by adding meaningful comments all the way! I got myself a Mercury MW3030R router from China a couple of weeks ago. It’s a dual band router, which can actually reach speeds… Read More Translating Chinese router’s UI
This is the second article in my 21 day blogging marathon. It is not quite as polished, as it could be. Join the marathon by adding meaningful comments all the way! I use a quite old, and battered Acer laptop with an I5 2nd generation processor and a “feeble” 8GB memory, for my personal projects.… Read More Android debug on Ubuntu – emulator and alternatives
It’s been a while, since I last experimented with Chinese tablets. This is mostly on account of having no much use for them lately.

Disclaimer: This is in no way a representative test, I’m only sharing of my… Read More Tablets from China – Teclast X98 Air 3G
This post is the last in my current retrospective series, that sampled the projects I was working on years ago. You can see the previous posts here and here. While the previous posts were about projects that span through years, this will be about a project that took no longer than a couple of months.… Read More 5 year retrospective – Project document management in Alfresco
This is the second part of my retrospective series I started here. When I’m asked about my favorite project in my career I always talk about this one. Every part of this project was solid, well established and justifiable. There were no need to make any compromise on anything. We didn’t have to worry about… Read More 10 year retrospective – SCISy, or “Supply Chain Inventory System” @ IBM
I was looking for the Christmas decorations on my attic, when I came across a set of compact discs. I got rid of most of these, except for some that seemed important enough to keep for posterity. These disks contained an original Window 2000 Professional edition, and one titled Medex Backup 99/05/13. Yesterday I took… Read More 15 year retrospective – InterMed ’99
DB2 Express-C is a fully functional and very powerful database offering from IBM, that can be used for free. Currently it’s limited to two cores and 4GB RAM, that’s enough to be used in small-medium applications. DB2 plays well with LXC, and I had no problem using it for years in a hosted server environment.
Almost a year passed since my experimental “honeypot” post on the spam received on my blog. As I then decided, I let all spam comments through, and observed the pattern.… Read More Followup on my blog-spam experiment
