Even though I told myself I was done with programming for quite a long time, over the weekend I fixed sunamo.cz, and since I want to build my own website on the MBTI personality typology, I would hardly get by without programming. But here at home it goes nowhere, and when I am out, I …

On October 1, I received an upgrade for my Sony Xperia M2 from Android 4.4 to 5.1. I hesitated for a while, but after a few hours I installed it out of curiosity. I had only skimmed a few pages where people reviewed mostly Sony phones and their upgrades. If anything, the battery life was …

On Tuesday, July 21, I ordered 2 T-shirts for myself from VistaPrint.cz and 1 mug for my brother’s birthday. Payment was possible only in advance, either by bank transfer, by card or via PayPal. That alone gave me pause, because I still have it in my head that a shop like that isn’t trustworthy, but …

Today I picked up a phone for my dad at the post office, and now I’m playing with it before I restore it to factory settings again. It’s something like a Nokia Asha, just from LG 😀 The phone has 6 dedicated buttons; 3 are touch-sensitive and the rest are hardware buttons. The touch buttons …

Introduction iPod Nano in my hands I’m writing this article well after the fact. I’ve had this MP3 player for about 2.5 months now. I chose it despite its very high price, which put it almost out of my reach, though not completely. Given the price, it struck me as poorly made, and you can …

Connecting to an external monitor/TV via HDMI First I tried connecting my Chromebook to a TV from Samsung. Unfortunately, like every PC, it showed only part of the laptop screen and the edges were cut off beyond the TV glass, but Chrome OS has a great feature that Windows 8 lacks: you can shrink and/or …

I had already been without a PC for 2 weeks, during which I could only use Mim’s PC and had to save my stuff mostly on a flash drive. On top of that, Mim’s cheap (CZK 7,000 incl. VAT) Acer couldn’t be connected to an external monitor via HDMI (well, it could, but the monitor …

For quite a while now I have kept playing around with my SIM cards, trying to figure out where calls, texts and mobile data are cheapest. About a month ago I bought a Tesco Mobile SIM card, having been carried away by the hype around virtual operators, and once I got home I ran into …

In the morning at 7:30 I was woken up by a call from the courier driver of PPL on my phone, and before I could get the phone out of my jacket, which was in the next room, it stopped ringing. Including this one, I had 2 missed calls from the driver and one text …
