Desktop Pager for Windows

I always wanted to have a desktop pager with virtual desktops for Windows just like most UNIX systems have. I tried some NVidia tool that came with drivers, but it was slow and not really usable. Finally, about a year ago or so I discovered this utility called VirtualWin. Since that period my windows experience [...]

Ever Wanted to Have a Telescope?

Microsoft made a pretty cool internet telescope that you can use for free. All you need is to download and install the program called Microsoft WorldWide Telescope – somewhat similar to Google Earth and start your astronomical research.

Key West video materials

I just realized that I have never edited and posted a video from the trip to Key West. That’s already on my To-Do list in “Someday/At Computer” category. This means it doesn’t get lost, but I haven’t defined an exact date when I wanna deal with it.

The “Bucket List” Movie

I just watched “The Bucket List” movie. I liked it and definitely recommend watching it.
After watching movies like this one, I usually “slow down” a little bit to see how beautiful this life is and it makes me think that we should appreciate every second of being alive, really.

Hated feeling

You know what I hate most of all? State of mind when I want to do something but don’t know what exactly and when I think about any ideas, I can’t really choose one that I like because everything seems discouraging. And then I think: “So why torture myself, maybe sleep is the best option? [...]

What Goes On

Hey everybody! It’s been a long time since I posted anything… Some of you already started poking me about that
I’ve been overloaded with stuff at work for a long time but finally I managed things up a little bit. The biggest challenge for me was to learn how to distribute my attention between [...]

Never use freecreditreport.com

I wanted to share my experience about using freecreditreport.com with the community of people who read this blog.
I registered at above mentioned site to obtain a “free” (as they claimed) credit report. They required a credit card (stating that it’s required to get a credit score which is a total BS). I really got the [...]
