I need to write a short essay on a person who is working on the same domain as I am writing my paper on for my Master degree and since the topic of my paper is SEO, I’ve chosen to write about Matt Cutts. Today I googled him while I was working, I was just curious if I have enough sources about him and accidentally bumped into his speech at TED… Continue reading »
30 day challenges – the first one
January 3rd, 2012When the dance ends…
December 15th, 2011I’ve been attending the tanc.ro dance courses since October and sadly yesterday was the last course… I have mixed feelings, I’m unbelievably happy for completing it, but I am going to miss the courses a lot. I’ve had a lot of fun, sometimes only my laughter could be heard in the whole room. Continue reading »

WordPress update error
April 16th, 2011A few days ago one of my previous client has contacted me and complained about not being able to auto-update two of his WordPress-based websites. I thought it was some file permission problem, probably the directory the update script was going to be saved was not writable, so I’ve told him to set the permissions of the upgrade folder to 777 and try updating his WordPress again, but didn’t solve the problem… Continue reading »
The Cat Empire – The Lost Song
March 12th, 2011This song is one of the reasons why Janis is my favorite club in Cluj 
I simply adore it and feel like I could listen to it all day long. Definitely on my all-time TOP 10. Last weekend I kinda got the flu, so my brain is functioning on like half capacity and listening to this song makes me feel like I am stoned… just breathing and staring at the ceiling without thinking of anything. I can still hear the usual noises from outside, street sweepers, cars accelerating, buses honking, people taking too loudly, but they all sound a bit different. I actually like this state, I only wish I didn’t have to get up in every 3 minutes to blow my nose…
“For now I know that things gone past
Are never to be found again”

PHP – load session by a given session ID
March 11th, 2011Last week I have bumped into a small problem that caused me a few hours head ache… I had a desktop application written in Adobe AIR and a server offering web services in PHP. The users of the desktop application could log in and their session variables had to be stored on the server. The only data the desktop application stored was the session ID returned by the web service after logging in.
After logging in, the desktop application made it possible to make some changes on the DB behind the server by using the web services. To identify the user, it passed the session ID to the server… Continue reading »
