Not sure what are you talking about. The best moment to speak about anything is ASAP. I am not going to wait until next 1-on-1 meeting day because that's the procedure. I am not going to track the bullets of interesting topic throughou

What strikes me thought is the story about a dad who catches the son on eating sugar and lying to him and the outcome is happiness and whole family dancing. What is simply cheating others is promoted as wit and smartness.

Agree to that - my experience exactly. Very recent example. My father's using Skype to talk with family. They refreshed UI, he got new version installed and that was it. I've had to answer multiple questions what does this and tha

I remember, as it was yesterday, my birth as level one Night Elf. I was a veteran PC player already but this... This was catharsis. I remember beautiful and kind of sad island of Teldrassil, wandering around the dark forests at twilight, bo

There are no rules in my office. No one would use "blues", though. Plenty of people, including me, have mechanical keyboards around - just not audible ones. Of course they would give you the "classical" caps hitting the

The biggest problem, and biggest fail of IRC. It is too low level and requires people to write scripts when they need anything else beyond simple text message. I am torn apart here, because I really do like hacking things. The issue is - mo

I think people are overestimating the quality of products they used to call "fresh." Do you know the source of all the products you use? Preparing your own meal doesn't change much, unless you really trust the source.
