    Learning A Language With The Bible started by tadej

    A while ago, when I was beginning my struggle with Finnish, I found it quite difficult to find translations online, since Finnish is a highly inflected language and word roots are not easy to identify for a beginner.

    After having googled enough Finnish words, I was starting to see a possibility - almost every [...]

    I want to go out and buy one of these:
    Don’t get me wrong, I like some of the ideas mentioned in the book (like value curve innovation), as well as the examples, but the way the material is presented worries me …

    Kindergarden Teachers Know started by tadej
    Clifford Stoll is an astronomer who helped capture a notorious KGB hacker and who spends his afternoons making zero-volume (Klein) bottles.
    In this really fun and entertainingly unfocused talk, he wanders from techno-skepticism, futurism to education and even manages to empirically determine the speed of sound in the process.

    His most notable point? If you want [...]
    Ballooning Over Sevnica started by tadej
    I spent the weekend at a permaculture farm near Sevnica, owned by my friend and colleague Borut.

    On Sunday, we had a picnic party with some interesting guests, including Borut’s friend Srečo and his son, who own a hot air balloon.

    They were kind enough to give us a lift - unfortunately the bad weather didn’t allow [...]

    Amazon S3 and Flash widgets started by tadej
    Today, I wanted to load a Flash widget of mine and its corresponding XML configuration file to Amazon S3.

    I did the 3D engine part with math calculations and evolutionary programming, while Miha worked on the scripting engine.

    A Man Of Good Elastic started by tadej
    The philosopher appeared in front of the Hotel Imperial and attracted a crowd by his actions. He removed his coat, folded it, laid it on the sidewalk, placed his hat upon it; then he drew a small rubber band from his pocket. He broke the circle with his fingers, and, stretching the elastic to its [...]
