New blog and new ideas

Few days ago I decided to start my new blog. It’s in Polish and I’ll be writing there mainly about Warsaw Stock Exchange, investing and economic issues. The address is www.stocktrader.pl, but despite I’m not a stock trader yet, I’m going to start my experience with stock exchange soon. The main purpose of my blog is to monitor my own learning progress and learn on mistakes, but I hope the others would also somehow benefit from it.

I bought my domain in Polish domain registering company nazwa.pl for approx. 3€ I use free web hosting on orgfree.com – they provide very good hosting service with 500MB disk space, 5GB daily or 100TB (!) monthly traffic limit, php, MySQL5 database, FTP support and phpMyAdmin (whatever it means) – it’s much more than my WordPress installation requires, and that’s all for free! Moreover, we can install WordPress, phpBB or joomla with just one click. I think it’s the best free hosting I could find.

I also have another (commercial) website idea, but it’s still in its infancy so I think it’s too early for sharing. I can only tell it’s something connected with social blogging. I’ve installed joomla! on my other orgfree.com account and now I’m testing my idea.

So if you understand Polish, you’re welcome to visit www.stocktrader.pl!

After Christmas

I didn’t write anything last time due to lack of free time. During Christmas I was back to Poland and I made terrible mistake… I moved all my pictures from the “Eurotrip” (Tallinn, Vilnius, Riga) to my home PC and totally forgot about it, so I can’t post it now on my blog :/ But I will do it as soon as possible, that is in June, I promise!

I’ve visited some interesting places last time, eg. Tampere and Turku. I’ll try to post some pictures as soon as I find some free time.

Ubuntu 8.10

Last time I’ve neglected my blog due to lack of time. I think I haven’t mentioned I already have Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex on my laptop – I installed it one day after it was released. I’m quite satisfied of how it works, although it still doesn’t recognize my righ card-reader (the left one works OOTB). It’s also worth to mention that if you think of installing Ibex on your Aspire One, wifi doesn’t work out of the box and you have to download and install http://ubuntu.gnu.gen.tr/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic_2.6.27.7.11_i386.deb package to make it working.
I’ve been traveling a little around Eastern Europe last time, I’ll try to find some time and post the pictures soon.
And finally I saw “Die Welle”.  I liked it because the story sounds familiar for me and is told very well. I would rate it 7,5/10.
