About.me … and failing to pivot
Some context - about.me was one of the first single-page personal websites. All it offered was a simple online presence for people. It was big when it was released in 2010 - a lot of publicity and lots of famous people pushing their personal brands online for the first time. It was one of those sweet ideas where you didn’t need much tech. The mere ownership of the brand “about.me” was enough. I’d…
Loss of focus
Loss of focus, even for a moment, is always detrimental to what we are doing. That is quite obvious at pro-level sports disciplines - the moment you lose focus, your opponent takes advantage and scores. In the end of the day, if you want to be a “pro” in any discipline, you need to learn how to sustain your focus for long periods of time. Always being present and in the now. I came to this…
Steptember
Just a quick update on finishing the Steptember social challenge/cause successfully. The challenge was to score 10,000 steps per day in September. You form teams of four, keep one-another accountable, compete with others and along the way, raise some money for charity.
Time spent programming is often time well spent
Was the time I spent writing my RSS scripts more than the time I would now spend thinking about the “best” RSS aggregator and reader? Doesn’t matter. I enjoyed writing the scripts. I learned new things and got satisfaction out of seeing them run correctly. I get nothing like that out of comparing apps and services. I concur so strongly not only because he writes about RSS, which I’m on record as…
Domain Name Search
Yup, domain names are very important for every business, project or idea you want to spread on the Internet. Many people spend a log of energy on finding the perfect name only to find out that the relevant “.com” domain has been taken. It is not a surprise South Park has an episode on that. There are three major ways to perform a domain name search and see if the domain you are looking for is…

Marcus Aurelius on Pragmatism
I’ve been reading “The Daily Stoic” for the last 2 years. Almost every day. To me, that’s one of the best ways to jump-start my days, and it takes only a few minutes. I can easily say that it’s become a habit already.
Why I don’t do affiliate marketing on SaaSHub
During the last year, I’ve been approached on a regular basis with requests to take part in various affiliate and referral programs. To be honest, some of them seemed decent and applicable to SaaSHub. For example, a VPN service. If we take the “Best VPN Software” page, it is quite suitable for including an affiliate link to a relevant VPN service. SaaSHub could drive a few sales, and I could make…
Running and Reading - the key to life
This has always been one of my favourite Will Smith’s speeches. It’s short and powerful. If you haven’t listened to it, please do. Now. I will transcribe it here, so it stays written down for posterity. Here it is - Will Smith’s wisdom : The key to life is running and reading! Why running? When you are running, there is a little person that talks to you, and that little person says “Oh, I’m tired,…
