Archaeology of my bookshelf Many people hoard books. And believe me: I went through that phase. There are almost archaeological layers of books in my library, reflecting what was interesting to me at different times: the oldest layer is my children’s books, especially some comics. The next are kids’ encyclopaedias. Oh, some of the…

Roam is deep. Not only I haven’t learnt all of its functions but even those that I have learnt, I forget! Fabrice Gallet asked me recently on Twitter, how I did the following colored blocks that are in my public graph. …

There are many pieces of software that look and feel similar to each other, like thousands of to-do list apps, Candy Crush copies and music players. They rarely have any personality or strong philosophy behind them. And that is nothing bad. …

Quid de me ipso in principio huius symbolae dicam? Nonne inter eos numerari debeam, qui Latine optime emendatissimeque scribere valeant, cum studiis linguae Latinae et in universitate bona fama praedita et in academia illa notissima, prope Romam nunc sita, operam dederim?
