Martin C. Martin » How to Interview A Manager

An awesome article about interviewing a manager. It’s tech focus and subtle notes about what a nice place Martin’s day job is was certainly a nice read. I only wish I could’ve had to chance to read this back in the web.burza days, it would’ve made the hiring process we’ve gone through a lot easier.

Out with the old, in with the new!

Ok, so the year 2008 has begun, and it’s time to start writing publishing the stuff that goes around my head. In the following days I’ll setup the rest of the infrastructure that’ll help me get my stuff out in the open. Those include, but are not limited to :), the following:

  • a slick new wordpress template (designed by the guy “you can’t do without” — emptyhead)
  • some code editing plugins
  • a simple plugin developed by myself to include Croportal.net’s integration API automatically to all the posts etc. (which will be made available for free, of course)
  • integrate my profile and snippet goodies from various online communities that offer such possibilities (Flickr, last.fm, threadless, God knows what else…)
  • finish-up the about, CV, contact etc. pages on the blog, and put some proper content on those

Now, after that’s done, the plan is to publish some of the articles and tutorials that have been laying around in draft formats for quite some time, but I never pushed myself hard enough to get them finished.

Good luck to me, and smooth sailing all the way!

The Croatian Customs office, or why I (sometimes) hate living in Croatia

A few days ago I received a note from the post office. The note says a package is waiting for me and I have to pay some money to pick it up.
Yes, it was my pre-Christmas (December 16th) order from Threadless which finally arrived.
4 t-shirts, $54.60.
