Building sophisticated web sites on top of WordPress platform

April 27th, 2009 by Martin

I am working with web for a quite a few years. I am a bit scared to count it. ;) And from time to time I am still making webs :) Heh… Yep, I made dozens of webs during all these years, even that I am not classic web developer last a few years. These days I am working only for about 20%  of my time on web sites. Basics for me is LAMP stack and WordPress (and of course my love Erlang in latest months) for a lot of sites. It is really powerful web platform and it is also an open source project with big user community and tons of plugins and templates.  This is due to a simplicity approach to everything. Code is a poetry. ;)

Oracle buys Sun Microsystems

April 22nd, 2009 by Martin

Well who else after IBM puts its hand away. ;) No to be serious for now it is a big news. I can not say great, but it is really big news. Oracle as number one  in enterprise database world did some acquisitions before (as other big companies do).  I am just afraid that they will buy  Cisco and rule the word. :) They will have a great platform build on top of all people knowledge and software/hardware they gain by acquisitions (e.g. BEA, PeopleSoft or Siebel). Now Sun Microsystems as both hardware and software vendor with their own OS and many more (like Java or MySQL for example) . They are building a big thing :) Cloud thing maybe ;)

Moving from FeedDemon to Google Reader

April 4th, 2009 by Martin

After two years of using FeedDemon as my primary feed reader application I moved to Google Reader. I know Google Reader for quite a long time, but did not use it because… well I was happy user of FeedDemon, because of it is desktop client with interesting features as well as web interface (that was a bit disappointing in comparison to desktop version).  But after more than a year of using FeedDemon I felt little bit confused about reason why I am using exactly this application.
