  • Taking a Repose

    You may have noticed that my blogs seem to get shorter and shorter.  As you can imagine I’m busy wrapping up things for this year.  In addition to all that, I want to spend more time writing my novels and articles.  Plus I need to catch up on my coding projects as well.  You should…

  • First Snow, Last Month

    I got up this morning, and saw light snow cover on the rooftops and ground.  The sun shone and so the snow-that reminder of December and winter-disappeared as quickly as it appeared.  Today marks the first day of the month of December and the second day of the week.  Nothing of particular relevance in the…

  • A Weekend of Fun

    Had a fun weekend.  Lots of partying, some clubbing with my man Przemek too.  Met a lot of new cool people, and I hope we stay in touch.  I want to thank Troy for organizing everything.  And it was good to see old friends again: Barbara & Nick F.,  and Rob K.  Funny how both…

  • As the Year Wraps Up

    Less than 37 days or so remain in this year, and so I almost want to look back at this year in nostalgia.  A lot of personal growth happened, even if my plans only now are starting to get realized.  I discovered the fullness of what it means to be human: love, life, hate, death,…

  • Update – A Week in Review

    This has been quite a busy week in hindsight.  I managed to build up my portfolio and work on my professional image.  I managed to restart my coding and writing projects.  And I’ve finished up on my correspondences.  I look back and I’m quite proud of my achievements.  I just wish I could move such…

Maemo is the Future of the Nokia N-Series Just when you thought Nokia planned on using Maemo only for their experimental line of…

  • Updates – justCheckers Open for Business

    An update from the justCheckers website: Cleaned Up and Open for Business 2009, November 17 – 18:02 — Dorian Pula It took a while. A much needed upgrade, some changes to bring this site back into the larger multi-site effort I’m involved and some re-integration work back into SourceForge… and justCheckers is back! Finally there…

  • Lest We Forget

    Today is Remembrance Day.  Take a moment of silence for all those who have fallen or crippled by that most horrendous of man’s machinations: war.  Thank for those who fought for freedom and end to tyranny.  And promise them and future generation, that we shall fight the good fight, that will remember are veterans and…

  • Building a Portfolio

    Yesterday I started revamping my blog, and building my portfolio. Now I don’t really need a portfolio, since I chose a career of software engineering over graphic design and writing. However just because my current occupation doesn’t need my more artistic talents, that doesn’t mean I don’t have any. And it surely should not imply…

  • Excuse the Dust

    I apologize again for the silence earlier this week.  I meant to post a few posts earlier on, but I did not get around to it. Also you may have noticed that I’m updating this blog.  In fact in general I am updating and cleaning up my “Web” presence in a big way.  Hence I’m…
