Last week I was in Rust, Germany at the WorldHostingDays conference & expo. The biggest problem we had, was that there was almost no Internet
The organizers made a very poor design of their network and so, most of the time there was no connection at all.
We were exhibitor there and as such the expo [...]
Today’s event was a real success. We had more then 40 people in the morning and something around 30 after the lunch break.
The talks were really interesting and inspiring. Alexey’s talk about ThinPacker was really inspiring and it captured my attention, so we will work together on that.
We made a really good discussion about the [...]
Next Saturday I’m organizing the annual Bulgarian Perl Workshop. One of the biggest challenges for this event is making people come and talk at the conference. And I’m not talking about international guests. I’m talking about Bulgarian speakers.

You can watch from any angle, the picture is at least 4 times bigger then our 47′ TV. There are some problems now with the quality of the movies that [...]
Finally the books I ordered in the beginning of December have arrived
Advanced Programing in the Unix Environment
Unix Network Programing Volumes 1 and 2
I think that these books are the bibles of network programing and they should be a must read for any C developer.
I have also ordered these two:
Myths of Security
The Art of [...]
Just before Christmas, Bulgarian law makers decided that it is a very good idea to approve the changes in the Law for Electronic messages. What they approve was that they need surveillance. 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 [...]
