Since BG Perl Workshop 2010 I have read about Gearman and a few weeks back I decided to incorporate it in few of my projects.

What they didn’t think was how they will have this surveillance! So what we will have is a big version of Big Brother [...]

Before Christmas I had ordered an Eposn EMP-TW700 projector for home. On 30th it finally came. So we watched one movie with it and my father managed to bring down the screen So after a second installation yesterday, now I finally have my own home theater… It looks good but during the day you [...]

Pfiuuu, today I finally finished my Exam generator. I added generating PDF files from the DB. Until now I was generating only txt support. Now I can generate new variants of a test whenever I want, just with one execution of the script. I also made a web version so I can generate variants of [...]
