In November I was contacted by the Municipal Library in Cheb asking whether I could introduce their readers to the hazards of the internet. Cheb is far away, but the journey is pretty manageable — you can work on the train — so I accepted and started thinking about the content...
A while back I was approached through Czechitas by Gordic, the company behind the Kybez podcast, asking if I'd be a guest.
Since at the time I was employed at DBG I asked my manager for approval. That didn't come through. After changing jobs and another trip to Prague we finally made it h...
What were the highlights of this year?
OS: Got Windows 11 at work — it's starting to become usable… but the waste of system resources is still there.
Technology: The M4 chip — it's a rocket! Intel can go home.

My iPhone lost OS update support a while back... then in November I got a notification from 1Password saying that version 8.12 would be the last update for my version of iOS — decision made. Time for a new phone. I'll try the migration.

An account verified to the high assurance level gives access to all electronic public administration services, including those requiring the strongest security (e.g., opening and managing an asset account for government bonds). With a high assurance level you can also obtain a...
New job, new Windows. Windows 11. It's different. A sort of mix between macOS and Windows. Except it doesn't quite work the way you're used to from macOS. From a user experience standpoint it's fairly pleasant. Things don't pop up at you constantly, it doesn't interrupt you. It's...
Sometime last year I got to taste food from a ceramic grill — the famous egg, Green Egg. The flavour was completely different from a gas grill. The explanation is simple: wood and fire. The Egg is unfortunately hellishly expensive — blink and thousands are gone — so the idea of a...
