I admit to being skeptical before about startup culture in the technology sector, for a few reasons: It smells of a gold-rush, a way to make a quick buck. I was brought up with an ethic to go and do your day’s work, work hard, get paid, and play your part. This is inter-twined with [...]
Communities, The Balkans, Mozilla, Firefox, and Ljubljana

It is probably largely misunderstood, even by it’s fellow Europeans. But I don’t want to talk about that. I live in Slovenia, which is or [...]

Hairy Times

Friday Snippets
Things are heating up for the summer. In no particular order, here is some news from the sunny side of the Alps.
