When I set out to write Why programmers work at night I knew it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park, but hey, I’ve got plenty of writing experience. How hard can it be? So far I’ve written 895 posts on this blog, written morning words on 561 consecutive days amounting to just [...]
Six years ago I bought my first Apple product – a MBP, the last version before unibody designs. The unboxing alone was enough to make me a fan. Apple was to other devices as Aston Martin is to other cars – classy, polished, perfect. Sure, it’s not the most powerful car out there – Veyron [...]
PreBear 2012 from Bros Before Pros on Vimeo. The guys in that video are setting up the tracks for KnK longboard camp starting in four days. 2000 bales of hay, a bunch of turns, tarmac smooth as a baby’s behind and just over two kilometers of curves so beautiful they make your head spin. Yesterday [...]
This is a story of three guys writing a business plan for a class at college. A business that rakes in 500,000 euro in sales after three years, with 30k of pure profits to boot. It’s not a swing for the fences kind of story, but taking three years to set up three 20-somethings and [...]
You’ve heard of Lake Bled right? The only lake in Slovenia containing the only island in Slovenia? Right!? Oh it’s just one of the most beautifulest places in Slovenia. Yesterday I walked all over the bad boy! The really amazing thing about Lake Bled is that every couple of years it completely freezes over. To [...]
Today has been such an epically clumsy day – knocking over everything I touch, nearly killing random people in the street and myself in the process – that I just had to share with everyone. Reading this might give you a good chuckle at my expense Let’s start at the beginning then, shall we? The [...]
A couple hours ago @donalddesantis posted an awesome post about What being hopelessly single taught him about pitching tech Celebs on Geekwire. It’s really useful if you need that kick in the arse to just go meet people. Seriously, what are you doing standing around at a tech/entrepreneur conference not having epic chats with cool people? [...]
Today I learned that jet lag is a much uglier beast than I ever anticipated. I don’t remember having this much trouble last time I came back from the US; perhaps because I wasn’t there for as long and the different timezone didn’t seep into my sleep cycle as much? All week I’ve been getting [...]
Yesterday I finally managed to take that hiking trip I’ve been meaning to for months. And it was fucking awesome! We went to something called Vodotocno jezero – a small mountain puddle really. But it was beautiful anyway. The trip started off with a long and bloody awesome drive. I like driving around tight gravel [...]
For the past <all of my life> years I’ve been forced to go hiking now and anon by my nature nutter mum. Then last year I started contracting the bug and sort of wanted to go a few times. This year I totally want to go for a good hike at least once a month. [...]
