When Palm ruled the handheld-computing market, few thought it would ever have to partner with Microsoft. It is all downhill from here — and one should have really seen the writing on the wall. The lousy performance of recent handheld devices (see my notes on T5) with memory leaks and sporadic resets… Then the news … Read more
This is not a food blog, even though cooking/food is one of my hobbies. Neither is it a restaurant review blog. (Nor is it an actively maintained blog — but that’s a whole different story). Yet I felt that sharing some nice restaurant experiences is a good thing to do, hence here it goes. During … Read more
Paul Thurrott has posted an article on Windows IT Pro site on what to expect (or rather not to expect) from an upcoming new release of Redmonmd browsing experence.

I’ve gotten around to playing with Namazu today. Unfortunately, after running mknmz(1) any querying with namazu query I got no results for known-good strings. I’ve then decided to rebuild the whole thing and realized that I’ve slightly oversimplified (and overcomplicated) the patching I applied. This time I have done a bit better job at tracking … Read more
I found this commentary on the Russia vs. Chechnya on Metafliter quite interesting, and very close to what I feel about the situation. Notice that as a Russian I can hardly be objective — it is hard to be objective when a car bomb explodes a few blocks from where one lives. Rage can easily … Read more
