The past two weeks were extremely busy in the [HCF] household and we are still looking forward a lot more to come. Maybe some of you noticed that I was AFK since Good Friday. Living in a country like Serbia while belonging to the largest minority group has its advantages and disadvantages. I was experiencing the former lately in the form of unexpected holidays. The vast majority of citizens are Eastern Orthodox Christians (~85%), and the second one are Catholics…
Welcome back geeky FIRE seekers. This week I brought you geeky insights about another one of our fellow coder-bloggers, all the way from the Twin Cities. He goes with the alias Mr. BoaS and blogs over at www.budgetonastick.com. I love to read his insightful posts on… well, pretty much everything. He is more of a “man of numbers” than me, but we share a lot of interests besides coding. He also likes cooking, getting lost in his own mind and tinkering…
If you follow my blog you may have noticed that I have “slight” productivity problems. So with or without intention, I try to pick up positive habits which help me get better at it. The following three is from the ones which I definitely didn’t establish by will. I get to them by observation. When noticed that a specific event/thought made a positive change in my behavior to the extent which surprised me I tried to engrave it in my mind. Then…
Welcome back geeky FIRE seekers, as I promised in the kickoff episode this time my interviewee will be a more popular blogger (who am I fooling, all of them will be more popular than me :)). His blog was one of the first ones which I started following and stuck with it ever since then. It turned out that as fellow fathers & bloggers we share a set of values, the importance of our families, the need for a fulfilling…
To be totally honest I wasn’t sure if this day will come. But it did, so I can peacefully write it down: I am six months into blogging. Maybe it seems like not a big deal to you, but it is huge for me. I am a recovering procrastinator and a serial quitter. Back in last September when I published my first post with trembling hands I was a total noob. Wrote a mini CMS before, just for fun (and for…
Prologue In the last post of the previous year, I stated that in 2018 this blog should get a little bit geekier. As part of that path and to establish connections (and hopefully friendships) with more like-minded folks I decided to start an interview series. It was a pleasant surprise that how many techies are amongst our ranks, so it seems there will be no shortage of interviewees. In every post, the main goals will be to get some insights…
Ahoy, matey! You probably came here for some funny stories about Jack Sparrow and his homies. I have to tell ya, that you will have no luck this time as the title is just a (shark)clickbait. Unfortunately, this situation depicts the actual crypto world more accurately than you would think. Most of the people who venture into this strange land of uncertainty are daydreaming about the romantic, entertaining, happy ending stories. But I have to tell ya, there lies more…
First of all, I want to wish a success packed very Happy New Year. I wasn’t too active in the recent holiday season and spent the last month getting back on track. As I stated in earlier I want to turn 2018 into a more techie year, thus I spent the last couple of days with geeking around with WordPress. The goal was to give memes a new way of appearance as I sent the Funny Friday series into early…
This day came earlier than I thought. Today I will finish the Funny Friday series. But don’t be afraid, memes will not disappear from my blog, just they will be published in a different way. My intent with this change is to maximize fun while minimizing time wastage. So, memes will return to the blog in a new way in January, but to give a proper closing to this series I collected the best of them. Enjoy and come back…
Last week I was talking(whining) about my blogging struggles, so there come the solutions. Also, thank you for the encouragement I received, good to know that I am not alone with schedule problems. 😉 Posting schedule My posting frequency so far was two posts per week, one content-based and one meme based. I like to work on both, but the way I was doing it is very inefficient. Living from post to post and write and publish in last minute…
