I thought it would be fun to try to find polish words that have funny meaning for czechs. I started with writing it by hand, asking people and it took me at least an hour to find out that lists like this one already do exist and that such words are called “false friends“. Nevertheless, […]

It all started the previous night. I thought I should go to sleep early so I had a shower before midnight. Then I thought I’d read just a few pages of Small Gods by Terry Pratchett (thanks Merlijn ) and suddenly it was one o’clock. Well, time to sleep. But somehow my body didn’t agree, […]

Set is a wonderful game. Read the official rules, then download TatSet (it’s Dutch, but you’ll get used to it).
I got only 1800 so far (just a very few games, didn’t have much time yet), I am sure you can beat it (feel free to brag in the commentaries :licknose:).

After one day break there was ESGC (European Students’ Go Championship), a six round tournament where I started […]

Yep, they are all gone.
3, 3, 3, 11, 15, 15, 7, 6, 8, 8, 1, 1
That’s (approximately) the number of people staying at my place at a given day from 28.8. to 9.9.
We had no major problems and nothing too bad happened, which is definitely very nice.
