God should be in the centers of our lives. But is it really so? I can often observe silence. When we communicate with our friends or other people, we usually chat about children, everyday matters, work, weather, politics, sometimes about things like computers or math. And something important is missing. Will our Savior come to […]

Thanks to the Icelandic volcano, I could experience a very special phenomenon yesterday: Clear and quiet sky. One would expect something opposite in relation to volcanic activity, but while there was no visually noticeable dust in the air (sunset was absolutely clear here without any colorful effects), air traffic over most of Europe was closed.

I thought I should stop writing about stupid behavior on this weblog for a while but I can’t resist. I’ve recently read an interesting article What DNS Is Not by Paul Vixie. It’s about misusing the Domain Name System in ways that may look useful at the first glance but are actually harmful because their […]

Two years ago I filed a complaint against one of the worst Czech spammers, “Hotel u Lípy”. Then nothing happened and I didn’t expect too much, reading stories that those spammers exploit a loophole in Czech antispam law. To my surprise I’ve received an answer from The Office for Personal Data Protection today. They notify […]

Enough is enough. Telefónica O2 has lost another customer and I hope this hasn’t been the last one. The company has annoyed me with their marketing practices for several years. Their dealers bother us at our home with offers we didn’t ask for nor are interested in. Moreover those people are often just stupidly assertive […]

I decided to buy some chess books for the first time after many years. I’m going to start playing chess again, after several years long break. I think it might be a good step towards my mental recovery. I’ve been being busy with many dull activities last years and I haven’t got much opportunity to […]
