MINIparser — parsing mini.co.uk

By sigizmund On March 9, 2013 · Leave a Comment

One day after a MINI which I was so going to buy tomorrow was gone from a dealer just because someone was quicker than me, I decided it has to stop. So next Saturday I made myself a cup of coffee and started thinking: I want to be notified as soon as new MINI pops [...]

Preparing for an interview [at Google]

By sigizmund On December 28, 2012 · Leave a Comment

People’s been asking me questions every now and then – how to prepare to an interview at Google? Obviously, there are tons of documents online with supposed lists of questions (subtle hint: most of them are obsolete). So I finally decided to write this up in a hope that someone will find it useful. This [...]

tmux and C-left/C-right

By sigizmund On February 29, 2012 · Leave a Comment

If you are using tmux (or thinking of switching) you’ve probably realised by now how annoying is that you can’t do Control-Left and Control-Right to move between words in Bash, Emacs, Vim and what not. So was I :)

Luckily, solution was found. Here it is:

Edit your ~/.tmux.conf and add lines:
set-window-option -g [...]

mFlow: music-on-demand start-up

By sigizmund On June 21, 2011 · Leave a Comment

mFlow is a very nice and interesting start-up based in Chiswick. They do music streaming on demand, just like Spotify. You can listen it for free. I don’t claim to understand their business model (OK, fine, you can buy music there as well, but so you can in zillion other places) but they are [...]

On engineers, physicists and mathematicians. Best quote ever.

By sigizmund On June 11, 2011 · Leave a Comment

An engineer thinks that his equations are an approximation to reality. A physicist thinks reality is an approximation to his equations. A mathematician doesn’t care.

Honestly, this could easily be the best and most apt phrase I ever heard. Does anyone know who should I attribute this quote to?

Space Odyssey 2001

By sigizmund On May 20, 2011 · Leave a Comment

To be perfectly honest, I cannot give a definitive answer on how did I miss this particular novel (and even more than that, three following ones!) by Arthur Clarke – when I was a child and a teenager I used to read every possible bit of science fiction I could came across. Yet not this [...]

Google Chrome OS and Cr-48 and 3G connectivity using Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile UK

By sigizmund On March 7, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Despite rather lengthy title, the post itself will be rather short and straight to the point. If you are lucky owner of Cr-48 Chrome OS netbook and very inconsiderably live outside of the United States (like, you know, some of us happen to be), you can still get a joy of wireless 3G connectivity.
