Recently I have downloaded most recent LyX release. I have some LyX files (e.g. Masther’s Thesis) that are more than 10 years old. To my surprise I was able to open them, compile and produce PDF output out of the box, without any issues! Unfortunately, I had no luck with 10 years old Word documents. […]
Recently, I was searching through some old materials I have produced in past. At some point, I have found my first Java application ever. It was dated back in February 2001 – original indentation preserved.
I have installed TextMate2 as soon as it became available. At first, it didn’t amassed me. It was simply lying around in Applications directory waiting for the better times. For a last few days, however, I started to use it more intensively, and … I am pretty happy with it. In fact, I am starting […]

Summary: Very good overview, but too shallow in details I have seen presentations made by Hilary already (e.g. from Strata) and I think they were very good in terms of being presented as conference materials. During conference, you have limited time and you obviously want to show as much as possible. On the other hand, […]
Summary: I have mixed feelings here … Safe C++ is quite interesting book, however, after reading it I have mixed feelings. At some point it is targeted at begineers. If you don’t know how to avoid memory related mistakes, how to recover from the run-time errors, or how to hunt bugs you don’t know much […]
and here you can find the souvenir. Picture of the store was taken in the late evening. MuteMyMic mascot didn’t make it there as it had no place to stay when the show had been taken.
Summary: Good start to development process I was rather skeptical about this book before I started to read, however, it turned out to be interesting introduction to Game Jams and to game development in general. I don’t plan to take part in Game Jam (at least not yet) but still, the book itself is really […]

Recently I have found MuteMyMic’s review at MacBites (issue No. 0068). You can find it here: http://macbites.co.uk/macbites-episode-0068/. You can listen to it here: itunes. I found it quite inspiring and definitely some features that Elaine and Mike are talking about will find their way to next releases.
I do some podcasting from time to time. Mostly, for the tutorial sessions. What I use for my equipment are ScreenFlow, and gorgeous Rode Podcaster. When it comes to software, I have chosen ScreelFlow because of it’s editing features. As for the microphone, I was struggling between Blue Yeti and Rode Podcaster. The last one […]
Recently I got into troubles when I tried to burn DVD-R in my superdrive. I have checked whether it was capable to do so. It was: DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW The issue was that all I got from my Mac was: “The disk can’t be burned, because the device failed […]

If you are involved in software development and haven’t seen this movie yet, you should have. I generally avoid IT related movies as they simplify things, make them look other way round and teach people that computer is something like this In the movies, if you try to kill the computer virus, you typically play […]

In fact, it’s more an album than a book. Together with information come useful examples that show how to apply concepts […]
Below you can find MuteMyMic relaxing in the wild. It takes a sun bath and relaxes in the shadow at the same time. Usually, it mutes the mic, but today is a Sunday – it’s day off :)
