Why I love gmail…

I remember when gmail first showed up and I got an invite, I was a bit overwhelmed by the *new* factor. The simple look, the speed compared to my old free webmail service, the idea of labels instead of folders, stars instead of flags, keyboard navigation between messages, similar to my first console mail client [...]

SysAdmin Day… A bit late

Well, on the 25th of July some of us celebrated the 9th SysAdmin Day, but I forgot!
Thanks to Aghi, I remembered and with a slight delay, I made sure to add it to my calendar, so next year I won’t miss it.
On the front page of the website dedicated to this event it states what [...]

Inceput de saptamana

Si inceput de miscare.
De azi incep sa alerg. Prin parc probabil. Sunt curios cat ma tine…
Concluzii:
Am reusit sa fug cam 2 ture si un pic prin parcul Babeş,  mi-a placut, o sa repetam actiunea, si da, am nevoie de o pereche noua de “running shoes” ca m-am ales cu 2 bataturi interesante in zona aia [...]

O fapta buna si un bug de wordpress

Am facut o fapta buna azi.
M-am trezit dimineata, am pus de-o cafeluta, si printre inghitituri citeam blogu’ lu Gropariu. La postul ala secsy cu udatu’ colegei, de servici, am dat pe afara, si cafeaua evident a urmat gravitatia direct pe tricoul meu. Buna treaba. N-am reusit sa pun comment, si l-am luat la suturi pe [...]

Servere custom, obiceiuri si obisnuiti

Sunt intr-o zi foarte ciudata, si am tendinta ca dupa fiecare chestie care mi se intampla, sa zic “urasc chestia care tocmai s-a intamplat” Si eu de obicei sunt un optimist.
Azi dupa-masa m-a sunat un numar pe care nu il aveam in agenda, dar dormeam. Am sunat inapoi, nimic. Urasc oamenii care te suna, nu [...]

Free DNS checks

A while ago, dnsstuff.org, the site I used to check everything related to DNS got off the freeware market and they started a paid service, which, no doubt is good, please pay for it if you still want to use them, but I want to give you a few alternatives.

Portabilitatea numerelor de mobil

Sunt de mulţi ani client Orange şi nu ştiu dacă aş schimba chestia asta În momentul de faţă, dar pe langă brand loyalty, singura chestie care mă ţine încă la Orange este probabil numărul. Numărul meu, de care m-am ataşat considerabil în ultimii ani, şi pe care îl ştiu toţi prietenii mei, contactele mele şamd.
