Yesterday I found a DrawIt (really good vector graphics tool for Mac) page updated to a new layout. What brought my attention was a comparison between full and lite version of DrawIt:
It is really well done. Stripped down to minimum. Like it!
I was inspired & pointed out to write this post by my friend from Sabre, Hubert Gajewski. Hubert is an extraordinary person: works as QA in Sabre, in his spare time is a leader of Aviary – a company which localizes software to Polish language (the whole Mozilla suite most notably), and has a knowledge of technical stuff often embarrassing to many developers.
What Hubert did is he wrote an article about 7 things people may not know about him. I was surprised by many of them and I hope you will be surprised by some of mine too. So here goes the list:
Now be honest – who knew all of these? Probably nobody 
As the tradition suggest I should name others to do the same:
WOW. I am also a big fan of comic books specially Thorgal. When I was young I also had a all books for Tytus Romek and A’Tomek series.
A few months back I wrote an article about GoldenLine.pl social networking site, where I pointed out a bad approach they have taken while implementing the login procedure. Since then I have written 3 or 4 emails to their contact box reporting this issue and suggesting I could even help fixing it. I was expecting at least a “thank you” letter, but received completely nothing. If I had received an email saying “you are a UX freak and we hate such people”, I would have understood.
I’m certainly disappointed by their behavior, but I hope some day the change their minds. I will wait. I have plenty of time.
In the past years I were posting a list of my new year resolutions here. But not this year. I had a plenty of time before christmas to think about it and actually did some resolutions way back in December. There will be some in January, May, June, August, and later on. Simply because this is the only way resolutions works.
If you need to make a resolution, don’t wait till new year. Do it now, write it down and keep to it. This is how it works.
Happy New Year pals!!
Jakub, great and honest post My way is to make a plan instead of a resolution. New Year (or any other kind of) resolution is like a point in time. You can miss it, just like you can miss a meeting, becuase you bus was late. Plan is something for a longer period of time, something repeatable, which gives you long term results, not instant miracles. I happy I stick with my plan so far, I hope will will realize your wishes too.

I remember good old times when my parents were buying comic books, “Kajko i Kokosz”, “Kajtek i Koko”, “Asteriks i Obelix”, “Tytus, Romek i Atomek”. I’ve also had small collection of “Thorgal” comic books. But it was long time ago and I’ve lost interest in it. Although, recently I’ve bought Sin City 1st episode and 300 by Frank Miller.
