Not so Yummy Pie

I follow the Akismet spam statistic of Time Recursion and empty the spam bin quite regularly (about twice a week), mostly because I hate being welcomed to my Dashboard by the message: “You have 79 new spam comments” and because I secretly hope that Akismet made a mistake and I did receive a comment with some content. Sadly I’m mostly wrong, and this plug-in really does a wonderful job. (continue reading…)
A new Wave
by Primož on May.31, 2009, under On the Net, Wonders
[SinglePic not found]The time is ticking again, and surprisingly enough, the Internet has prepared a handful of new surprises in the meantime. Probably one of the most anticipated and revolutionary that is sure to reshape and realign the development on the Big web and might as well be called the innovation of the decade, is Wolfram’s WolframAlpha web search engine.
Some of you, mostly those that are in Computer Science, Mathematics or Physics related studies have already met Wolfram Mathematica, a great piece of software that’s become quite indispensable in my every day’s life. And now, we can finally enjoy all of the beauties, functionality and computational power of its algorithms on the Internet, for free. But the awesomeness doesn’t stop here, it continues with the search engine’s capability to serve you some cold facts about countries, finances, cities, important personalities and even more, all enriched with additional charts and data to help you get what you want. The usefulness of WolframAlpha is so enormous, that there’s been already released a Firefox plugin, that let’s you integrate Wolfram’s search in your Google home page. Now what do you want more for a perfect browsing experience?
In the wake of uncertainty
by Primož on Mar.31, 2009, under On the Net
[SinglePic not found]As I write this, we’re nearing midnight here, and with this the 1st of April, when the Conficker worm is believed to strike. You probably already know about this, or have heard about this imminent threat, because of all the hype the mass media have created around it. And how they couldn’t! It’s one of the smartest worms ever designed, and has already infected more than 3,000,000 computers worldwide.
But why are people so afraid of it, and why there’s no good way to get rid of it (Well, that’s not completely true, you can disable it without much problems, the hard part is finding out whether you are infected with it, and preventing from getting infected again)? (continue reading…)
Online image-editing… why not?
by Primož on Feb.12, 2009, under On the Net
With the advent of cheap digital cameras and various image editing programs, the possibilities a casual photographer has, to give a final touch or to simply play around with his photographic masterpieces have exponentially increased. Nowadays you don’t need an expert with a secret underground laboratory, or some expensive software that makes you glad the burglar stole your car, instead of that ugly piece of code, for which you were putting your money aside those last ten years. Today you can correct red eyes, adjust the lighting or draw a moustache on the photo of your neighbor yourself, and what’s more, without spending a cent!
But of course, for someone that exhibits his extraordinary image editing skills only on special occasions, even that free software doesn’t look too appealing, and those 10 minutes of installing usually take a whole lifetime to finish. That’s why we’re glad there’s Mr Flash.
Haven't laughed yet today? Then you have work to do!

Life is very dynamic. If you take into account your emotions, you can easily find out that just in your past week, you’ve been through a couple of different moods and had your ups and downs. Some of the days are full of all kinds of feelings, while for others you can hardly say you felt anything at all. There are some days when you are bored, don’t know what to do, or simply have enough of everything. At such times, there’s nothing better than to read or watch something funny, and having a good and healthy laugh.
If you haven’t laughed yet today, and feel that this makes your day incomplete, then I think I have something to fill that void.
