My old Olpran Discovery has been with me since I was ten. The frame is small, the wheels too. The saddle sits too high. No front suspension fork. It was simply impossible to ride comfortably, not to mention its weight. Time to find a replacement.
I didn't specifically want a mountain bik...
Looks don't affect driving dynamics… but I still have to mention them. The Rapid Spaceback is a great-looking car. Wide in just the right way, a large boot (closer to a liftback than an estate).
In carsharing the only available engine is the 1.0 TSI, 81kW....
In a week when several accidents happened one after another on Czech railways I decided to try carsharing. Since I often use RegioJet, I went with CAR4WAY. With a voucher from the carrier you don't pay the sign-up fee (1,000 CZK). Fill in the required details and once confirmed you c...
Elastic offers a lot of training, some of it free. A while back I completed Fundamentals of Securing Elasticsearch, a useful course on securing communication between Elasticsearch hosts. I was curious how far Kibana had come and wha...

Due to an order from the Chief Medical Officer of the Ministry of Defence, I had to take a PCR test for COVID-19 before starting my military exercise. All my important personal details are stored in ISIN (Infectious Disease Information System) — I just had to register by phone.

After moving in, we wanted to get settled, which meant drilling a few holes for wall plugs. Drilling in an unfamiliar flat is always a lottery — you never know what's under the plaster. I have a Bosch impact cordless drill that comes supplied with what look like masonry bits. Or...
Online learning is nothing new for me — I take courses from time to time. But during the crisis there was no alternative to online teaching, whether for school or continuing education. I got to experience it from both sides — as an inst...
Like all applications (Webex, Skype, etc.) Zoom also has bugs, which it's now scrambling to fix as fast as possible — see the plan published on their blog.
This issue has already been resolved and only affected...
