Recently I’ve been increasingly getting contact form messages with “SEO Service” offers that “guarantee to get me on the first page of Google”.

Brands. They are everywhere. Cars, electronics, sportswear… Even food. In every-day life, wherever a product is publicly visible, the manufacturers take care their brand is visible, too. When we drive our car, we showcase their brand. When we carry a newly bought computer home, we showcase their brand on the package. Heck, where I live, [...]

Hackadelic — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:00:16 +0000

Yesterday I’ve posted about the pros and cons of basing WordPress plugin functionality on JavaScript. Now Ted has written a follow up article responding to mine, from which I’ve got the slight impression he might have mistaken my post for a critique of his plugin, which it definitely wasn’t meant to be. Besides, there are [...]

Hackadelic — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:53:32 +0000

MS Windows – is there a more controversial operating system? Everybody seems to “hate” it, but yet, one way or the other, it seems we can’t live without it.

Quality Is Speed

Hackadelic — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:00:09 +0000

Of all attributes a product or service can have, quality is one of the most mistaken ones. From a sales viewpoint, quality seems to be natural. Everybody claims to provide stuff of “premium quality”.
