I just finished reading a little book by Tim O’Reilly and Sarah Milstei, The Twitter Book. It is aimed at Twitter newbies (such as myself) and it does a nice job explaining the power of Twitter and all its various usages for personal and business needs. It didn’t took me long to finish it as well, as it is written in the spirit of Twitter – short and to the point. It takes you from a Twitter ignorant to a pro in no time 
But why would one want to know about Twitter anyway? Hmmm, tough one. To be honest, i didn’t see much value in Twitter either, when i first created an account. I actually didn’t use it much at all – I wasn’t sure why i needed yet another communication channel to tell the world about what I’m doing, thinking, eating. I have a blog, like everyone else, right? And I’m not posting much on it. I have an account on Facebook like everyone else, right? But i am not using it much apart from playing Texas Hold’em occasionally. So what is different with Twitter that would make me tweet regularly each week, or day, or even more times per day? And who would care about it anyway?
First, the tweets are short messages that must obey the 140 character limit. So you don’t have to engage more than a minute (unlike when you are posting on a blog) to get your thought across. And when you start following smart and witty people, it is actually very amusing reading their tweets. It is like peeking into their minds. And that gives you motivation to tweet back. And in a matter of no time it becomes great fun!
I admit, i am a Twitter newbie but i am starting to be really hooked. And not just thanks to the book

I haven’t posted something meaningful here for ages!
Anyway, i changed the theme of the blog and finally updated a small part of it – the Illustrations section. Hopefully, I am not going to stop here for another year or two

So this is it.
My last stuff has been packed, the apartment has been cleaned and all that is left is to hand out the keys to the owner and wait for Sunday to arrive.
I am going to Denmark and will stay there for the next 5 months and although I have been planning it for a year now, it sure feels like it has arrived too soon. But it also brings that excitement and anticipation of the unknown that somehow spices up my otherwise pretty ordinary days. I haven’t felt like this in a long time, to be honest. Which says a lot of what kind of life I’ve lead since I decided that maybe this whole computer business is something I might like … you know … sex ‘n’ drugs ‘n’ bytecode.

Ok, here’s one for you
You have two badly-woven ropes with fluctuating widths, but which you know take one hour each to burn completely. But because of their fluctuating widths, thicker parts take longer to burn, so half of each rope may take longer or shorter than 30 minutes to burn. Using these two ropes, how can you time 45 minutes?

If you are Slovene happening to read this blog and programming/using/loving/liking/dreaming Python you should know that there is a new Slovene Python user group around – SOUP (Slovene Orthodox Users of Python).
Actually i don’t think there was an “old” python user group in the first place, so that makes it the first Python user group
