There was some some construction work on the blog for the past week or so.

We have made theme improvements and web server speed optimizations which will provide quicker loading times and less load on the web server.

Hopefully your reading pleasure was not disrupted, but if it was we sincerely apologize and hope that you continue to support us¹.

Holidays are coming, … wait – holidays are here!

This post is intended for all the readers who are good at heart. Kind to fellow living beings weather they are animals or pets, friends or foes, relatives or neighbors, humans or aliens. To all of you who are interested …

The “Three Wise Men” team would like to announce that this blog has been up and running for about a year now. If we travel back we can discover that the first post was posted on the November 18th 2008. Well over a year now.

Slowly evolving from cooking, games and movies we have embraced this web site and transformed it into a geek blog trying to cover everything that we think is interesting for you. From a merely 10 daily visits we have grown to a steady 400 visits per day. And this is  the biggest present – you our readers have given us through the year¹. Thank you!

I could go on and on about how rough was this year and what we are going to improve in the next year but instead we would like to wish you all the best in this holiday season. Albert Einstein could not said it better:

“I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day’s work like a happy child at play.”

Be marry and at peace, love and respect one another and keep coming back for more.

Your “Three Wise Men” team.

BarCamp Ljubljana 2, post mortem

Friday, May 15th. It was the Bar Camp Ljubljana day. Bar-what? BarCamp. An ad-hoc user generated conference. You know the place and you know the time. The rest is up to visitors. Upon registration you get to make your own name tag, you stick it onto yourself and then you go and find a session slot. At BarCampLjubljana sessions were 20 minute talks with 10 more minutes for Q&A.

Here’s how I got my BarCamp cherry-popped with second BarCamp in Slovenia. Yes, it was a first time for me. *blushes*

Media or bio engineered

Recently a friend of mine visited a doctor. In the waiting room he found waiting patients willing to  share thoughts to pass the time. By coincidence the talk stumbled upon the latest flu outbreak. Exact course of discussion alludes me. But since he pointed out the problem I was willing to write a thought or two about it and share it with you.

The outbreak of presumed swine influenza virus in Mexico had a lasting effect on the media and on the inhabitants of this beautiful planet. Media somehow sniffed out the news. Started to report about it. People who were not directly affected by it did not react – at first. But the day after – news was still there. Even in bolder and wider font, so that even the visually impaired people knew about it. And what happened the day after?
