Why 99% Of Men Will Never Meet Beautiful Women
Many men are failing miserably when trying dating beautiful women. Many are not even trying because they think beautiful women are “out of their league”. This is a huge misconception. Dating beautiful women and having a great relationship while not feeling inferior is perfectly achievable.

VimMate - TextMate like editor for Linux
I've been looking for ways to speed up Rails development with vim. So, after installing rails.vim, allml.vim and surround.vim things got faster. When coding, I'm using vim's buffer splitting extensively. This way I can see multiple files all at once. What I was missing was tabs.
I have 24" screen but still, sometimes this is not enough. It was not uncommon for me to have 10 or more buffers on the screen. Usually I work with up to four, which is still bearable, but anything more is really painful to work with. So I wanted tabs, like seen in TextMate. And of course, vim has tabs (did you doubt this?).
Just after I've got tabs working I found VimMate. Go figure. VimMate is TextMate clone, works on Linux and has all the power of vim plus some of TextMate. Killer combo. Compared to pure vim, VimMate feels a bit slow, but hey, what'd you expect from GUI app?
Things I'm missing in VimMate (or still have to find it):

Things I'm missing in VimMate (or still have to find it):
- keyboard tab switching
- keyboard shortcuts to file searchfield on the left side
- how to start vimmate with non-default color scheme
- how to get console window to show

Agile Web Development with Rails
I was again blown away by Rails's simplicity and elegance. Of course, I wanted to know more about developing on edge. I've googled "Agile Web Development with Rails pdf" and there it was, plain on the open. Book that says it all.
From what I've seen, I'm buying my copy of this one.

New era of computing is right ahead of us
Did you notice? It's slowly happening. It actually started happening 6 years ago but almost noone noticed it back then. It should be more obvious now...
Computers are at the point of no return. Soon this laptop I'm typing on right now will be thing of a past. A past we'll remember. 30+ years of Von-Neuman technology will soon be looked back at as the era of spectacular achievements, big success stories and amazing evolutionary steps. It is what I think the peak of this computer era. Multicore CPUs are common these days, computer clouds are popping up just about everywhere, everything is connected. How long do you think current technology (which is based on 30 years old foundations) can keep up? Ever increasing CPU clock speed and number of cores, memory hacks to bypass old screwups and similar fun stuff. Where does it all stop?
Let's take your bank for example. You're sleeping sound knowing your bank accounts are safe. Software you're using to manage your bank accounts is brand new addon to few year old system which manuals are long out of date. They just slapped web interface on to it. But under the hood there's still 80x25 style text mode interface which show it's real age. 10+ years old at least. Sure, system is tested, secure and it works. Why change it? Good point, read on.
Remember those 3.5" disketes? Still using them? I don't think so. They were safe bet and they worked. CDs anyone? No, we just have DVDs now. See the pattern? Hardware is changing and is changing very fast. Bet you can't play latest 3D shoot-em-up on your computer without hardware upgrade.
My point is software will change. It has to change to be able to cope with hardware. Your Java or C++ or .NET application is probably using threads already but that's not good enough. You're puting a nice image on your customers eyes and sooner or later they will look trough it and see the real situation, much like what Neo saw in the matrix. Can you imagine having few thousand CPU cores on your desktop computer? No? Few years back noone could imagine computers in every household. "What would ordinary people need computer for?" Rings a bell? Can you truly manage few thousand threads in your current application? How about 20.000 or 50.000 threads?
We, progammers, still have few years to adopt. To make sure we won't be forgotten. To learn. I don't propose we drop all what was done till now. This is good software and we need to stay "backward compatible". But we should look ahead and try to see what's comming. I have hard time imagining programs will run in a single thread on single computer on one location. What it will be like? I don't know. But next 20 years will be fun to watch and participate.
