In preparation for a blogpost I’m going to make some time this week I found myself wanting to somehow parametrize vocabulary richness in a piece of text. btw, Code at bottom It’s an interesting problem because when you read something, it’s pretty easy to see when an author is using rich vocabulary, but trying to [...]
For the second time today I noticed someone on twitter berating javascript over this little connundrum: > NaN == NaN false > NaN === NaN false > NaN !== NaN true > Counterintuitively, it would seem that NaN does not equal NaN. But let’s think about this for a second. Is it really that strange or [...]
Just over a month ago I went on an internet diet that would practically cut me off the world as I know it. The deal was no internet except for an hour every evening, or when it was absolutely necessary for reasons of work or school. A week ago that diet ended. It is no [...]
Friday marked the first annual (hopefully) geeks on water event. A whole bunch of geeks and geekettes from Hekovnik got together to go kayaking on the river Krka. Most of us for the first time. We have @refaktor to thank for herding us all together and making it happen. Without him we’d probably still be [...]
Today Spotify finally realized I am not just traveling around Europe, but intend to stay here a while. Their 14 day travel grace period lasted a month and a half and I think that’s awesome! While I was using Spotify I got so used to the service I decided to actually pay for a premium [...]
The idea of a data driven lifestyle has really started gaining ground lately. It seems every month at least one such application comes out.

Upon getting back from the US in late August I noticed that my laptop suddenly doesn’t want to connect to my home wireless network. At the time I didn’t really give it much thought because everything else from the iPad to the iPhone to all the other laptops at home connected just fine and since [...]
Knowing how many readers a blog gets is pretty important for any blog writer. We like to pretend it doesn’t even matter, put on a face of “Oh well, I’m just writing this for myself, you know, to get the word out, I don’t really care if anyone reads it” What a bunch of hipsters! [...]
Today I fell on my arse. Hard. And I have the scrapes and possible bruises to prove it! Apparently going uphill on a longboard is a lot harder than it looks when you’ve been riding one a cumulative of … three or four hours. Somehow my trajectory changed from being perpendicular to the hill or [...]
Coming back from the US I was left completely without means of transport. My rollerblades‘ last allowed wheel died over there so I was left with a cumulative three working wheels for the whole set. You need at least four. Right before I left for the US my driver’s licence expired and I need to [...]
