In many cases you don't want " http://foo.bar?q=Spaces should be encoded" to pass. If for example you want to turn URLs in comments to links, then space should just end the URL right there. Otherwise you end up mak

The markets say that you are wrong. Pretty close to all who edit photos professionally use Photoshop. And as the presentation told us, WhatsApp is eating the whole text messaging markets. I don't use it and I don't like this trend

There is always a small market for a slow lumberjack, but there is zero reason to use anything else than the best software. Best lumberjacks might live in different corner of the world and they are most likely busy. So you hire the slow one

Internet needs more home pages like this. Fast to load, fast to read. There's contact information and couple links to get some more information. EDIT: at least I prefer pages like this over say LinkedIn profile.
