Archive for December, 2006

As you might noticed, I decided to skip all those quotes from presentations because nobody reads them anyway but this process creates so huge backlog of entries that this blogs stops being periodic really.

I’m still watching all presentations and filter out all regular, not so informative ones and I hope that other authors of this blog will do the same.
