These are my notes from the talk by Nedine Kachornnamsong – Monitor and Display: an image of the Ghost in the Machine. Copenhagen Airport project, In Place-Spective, 2005-2006 Airports are transitional spaces without special meaning to people – it’s a non-place. So how can we construct a place inside an airport? So what’s a sense […]

I’ve recently started helping out with limesurvey project, more specifically, their rewrite to CakePHP. One of the latest tickets I help with was to add optional table prefix, so you could have separate installations using the same database. This is something you would never see in Django world, where everyone can afford as many databases […]
Hat tip to Wikia who gave it a few moments of thought and renamed captcha to blurry word. It still doesn’t tell you why it’s there, but now you can at least find it. Before that, it was just a nonsense term (for someone not in IT/web field).

It’s going to […]

It always amazed me at how two-faced our society is. On one hand, everyone is talking about exercise and healthy living/eating/etc, while on the other they’re criticizing and discouraging anyone who actually decided to follow the advices everyone is so full of. The first one I always hear is: running is bad for your knees, […]

Seth talked yesterday about Dunbar’s number, that Wikipedia defines as: Dunbar’s number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. These are relationships in which an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.[1] Proponents assert that numbers […]
After a very sad performance of Slovenian quasi Pirate Party last week, where we could see that they have no idea how copyright works, we now have even more evidence that Slovenia is a land of pirates that have no respect for other people’s intellectual work. @skatey and @Zealoth point out to a blunt copyright […]
