I used to use tasuki@volny.cz, then got tasuki@seznam.cz for registering to suspicious places that could send me spam, and two years ago or so I switched to vit.brunner@gmail.com. I still forwarded the two previous emails there, as sometimes someone sent me something there, but lately I found out that I am more or less only […]

Do you know sed? It is a program that transforms text (I’ve used it to transfer sgf to my povray format), however, some people thought it’d be funny to make games in sed…
They made classic pong game and sokoban (the old game where you are a man that has to move boxes through a maze). […]

This blog finally got hit by spammers. I recieve about 1 comment spam an hour, which is rather tough. Some get filtered automatically and I have to remove some of them by hand. Here I have to say big thanks to wordpress – editing/removing comments is very easy and the interface is great (it also […]

I’ve been living in this room since I was 4 years old or so (I had been in living parents’ room before I think).
To the north there is my sister’s room, to the east there is the living room, and garden is south. There is terrace above my room, and bathroom and corridor below. But […]

Poker is a bad game because when someone bets more money than you have you have to fold.
I really have no idea where this originated, but it is for sure utter nonsense. Just think about it, if it was so, person with most money would bet everything everytime and always win.

It hurts.
Because we thought that the limit was 12GB for a week when in fact it is 12GB a month, well, we exceeded the bandtwidth and our connection got highly limited. Now I will have to survive with 30 times slower connection than the one I am used to (downloading 1mb in 3 seconds is […]

I’ve read somewhere that average blog lasts slightly less than three months. Now I can see why.
I’ve had the blog for about three and a half month, so I am already above average, but lately I simply do not have enough energy to write posts. It’s not that there is nothing to write about, there […]

There are many various types of betting, most of them have one thing in common - you bet a rather small amount of money and there is a very small chance that you will win a lot of money. Why are there no lottery tickets for $1 where you would have 50% chance for winning […]

A lot of people have LCD displays (the flat ones, as opposed to CRT monitors). The “problem” with LCD is that each pixel (the little dot that can display any colour) is physically fixed in one position. So using LCD with different resolution than the one it was built for is a very bad idea. […]

Aerosmith: Dream on
Every time that I look in the mirror,
All these lines on my face getting clearer.
The past is gone,
It went by like dusk to dawn.
Isn’t that the way?
Everybody’s got their dues in life to pay.
I know nobody knows,
Where it comes and where it goes.
I know it’s everybody’s sin,
You got to lose to know how […]
