Ever since I started using computers, I’ve been trying to improve the programs I’ve been using. The main reason for me to start programming Java, C# and PHP is the very same, and after me blogging with WordPress it has not changed a bit. I got tired of the regular tinyMCE-editor which is built in to the blogging software, and

At least, according to my supervisor(s) and co-workers here at Ordina. To underline this, they’ve tried to make my thesis better by handing me some more theoretical frameworks

The Xylometazolinehydrochloride puts an end to all this; at least for a while. This by the way would be a perfect moment for you all to say After which I would reply, in true

I met with the supervisors from both Ordina and the university to discuss the matter and came up

Right now, he is on his plane somewhere over the Gobi Desert trying to attack his boredom by placing blogposts on his website.
