Banned Xbox 360 commercial

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

A very unique and funny commercial for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 which was unfortunately banned from being displayed on TV.

American cars

Saturday, November 26th, 2005

Nothing beats a good American car. This summer I bought a Chrysler 300M, and I’m more than satisfied of it. I really couldn’t ask for more from this car.

Caching RSS feed headlines

Friday, November 25th, 2005

It was definitely something wrong about Feedpedia retrieving the headlines over and over again, every time a feed was selected for viewing. Also, there was no way for it to remember which headline was viewed and which was not, and mark accordingly. Or to count the number of viewed headlines vs. unviewed.
So I had to […]
