I’m pleased to announce that I’m starting to work for WaveStorm. I’ve been developing stuff for Alexander (CEO of WaveStorm) for a while, and now I’m joining his company as a PHP/AJAX developer.
Next week - a trip to Paris to meet the rest of the team :-) And since I’ve never been to Paris this makes it even more exciting.

Woohoo!

I’ve just read a story about rubber ducks that ended up loose in water in 1992. Now after 15 years of journey across the globe, rubber ducks, turtles and frogs drifted to South-West England shores.

It seems that these rubber toys have some value for an US company which offers £50 bounty for finding one.

For any web page visibility on search engines is a vital.

So how does my blog is doing?

search phrase: yazzgoth
place: 3
(when I’ve chosen this nickname I didn’t know that “yazzgoth” is a name of heavy metal band - polish band btw :) )

search phrase: bartosz ptaszynski
place: 5
(small note here: the 1st place takes my LinkedIn profile :D)

search phrase: coder’s life
place: unknown (I didn’t find it on the first 10pages)
So I guess there’s a reason to change the blog’s name to something more informative… hmm but what?

My blog has moved to this page.

Well I was tempted to give the WordPress a ride for some time now. The thing that pushed me over the edge was the code syntax highlighting that I had some problems with on blogger.

I’m using SyntHihol with geishi and it’s working perfectly.

I’ve just stumbled upon Microsoft’s Photosynth. This astonishing technology takes hundreds pictures of the same place taken from a different angles and creates a 3D image…
I can imagine that if someone would take this technology, used the images from Google Images or Flickr and assigned them to a location and plugged that into Google Earth … the result would be just jaw dropping.

I have a feeling that in some time that someone will be Google :)

Heh I still can’t get myself from the floor after reading this

It seems that Microsoft has some weird way of checking if the Windows is genuine or not… I wonder what this will lead to as it may open doors for quite some interesting possibilities.
