After several years of teaching the (online) security course at Czechitas, last year we decided to create a follow-up course — one that extends the basic security awareness. As it happened, a few of my former colleagues and friends who work in security joined Czechitas...
COVID-19 threw a spanner in the works of training — after cutting our reception period short it went on to limit exercises for active reserves. Last year, unfortunately, none of the dates worked for me due to personal reasons, so I was all the more excite...
After years, we finally decided to visit our most famous museum, drawn mainly by the Wonders of Evolution exhibition. Since we were already there, we didn't skip Czech Press Photo 2021 or the other exhibitions either. As on our previous visit when we went to see the mummies, ele...
During my next blood donation I decided to sign up for the bone marrow donor registry. It's not complicated — the questionnaire is quite similar to the one for blood donation. You need a blood sample taken, which is no problem during a blood donation — just one extra vial. It's worth...
The year came and went, time to give myself a little gift. The choice was obvious this year — the Space Shuttle! The box isn't as massive as the Saturn V, but it's definitely not small either. Open it up and you'll find 17 bags inside, and the manual is far from thin. And I shouldn't f...
I wanted to try shooting with LED lights and the opportunity came up quickly. Tomáš uses them and offered to show me the ropes.

Property tax returns have to be filed by the end of January. So I started filling mine in via the much-promoted Moje daně portal. Disappointment came quickly — it launched the ePO module. I followed the wizard and filled in the individual details. Eve...
We inherited a flat — but what to do with it when we don't want to live in our home town? Sell it! That would give us a foundation for our own place, assuming the market doesn't go mad. We knew our neighbour had once been interested in a bigger flat, so we approached her first....
I had to decide whether to wait for the iPhone 13 or swap my iPhone 8 for a 12 straight away. Since the 13 was quite hard to come by, I went ahead with the swap. Thanks to iCloud backup it's fairly painless — but there's a catch with apps that manage the second factor, especially...
What were the highlights of this year?
OS: Windows 10 — unfortunately I don't get a choice at work, so I suffer through Windows.
HW: watch, Garmin Instinct Tactical — GPS/GALILEO and GLONASS, supports MGRS — what more could you ask for.
Podcast: Kecy a politika, the comm...
