Most guys don't get how attraction works! They are trying to be sensitive, caring and nice. Girl is being bored to death at this point. She wants a men, not a pussy! http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/chatting-up-girls-attraction.html Fri, 2 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/chatting-up-girls-dont-be-a-nice-fool.html Being too nice to girls is arguably the very worst mistake unexperienced guys do. "I've met this guy. He's really nice ... but I just don't feel any chemistry there!" Girls say things like that all the time. Have you ever wondered why? http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/chatting-up-girls-dont-be-a-nice-fool.html Mon, 21 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/being-cranky.html Sometimes I feel it's just not my day. I start being cranky and negative which has severe effects on my productivity. I've been trying to do something about it as it occurs rather often, so far not with much luck. Does anyone have any trick how to solve it? http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/being-cranky.html Wed, 24 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/the-3+2-rule.html I had a problem with organising my day for ages. Never ending TODO lists leading to frustration and consequently to procrastination. Exhaustion from context switching. The feeling that I haven't actually done anything today. Finally a few weeks ago I had a breakthrough. I call it the 3 + 2 rule. http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/the-3+2-rule.html Mon, 15 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/new-rss-feeds.html I've done some changes in organisation of RSS feed.

It's about freedom, doing useful things for the people, about making connections and about continuous personal growth. http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/start-ups-as-a-life-philosophy.html Tue, 5 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/starting-a-start-up-deadlines.html No one likes deadlines. But do you remember story of Duke Nukem Forever? Deadlines are useful, if not necessary. Today on how we use deadlines to help us achieve our goals. http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/starting-a-start-up-deadlines.html Sat, 2 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/starting-a-start-up-managing-motivation.html Motivation is a critical factor of success of any start-up. Fortunately managing it is not that hard: I use what I call a motivation sheet to keep my motivation high. http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/starting-a-start-up-managing-motivation.html Wed, 29 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/custom-gems-in-gemfile.html Switching between your custom libraries from your local directory and from RubyGems.org can be a real pain. Fortunately with Bundler it's getting much easier. http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/custom-gems-in-gemfile.html Sun, 5 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/how-i-learnt-to-talk-in-front-of-people.html Until recently I've been really afraid of public talking. Every time I was supposed to present something in front of people, I started blabbering and freaking out. I decided to break it and now finally, I have succeed! http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/how-i-learnt-to-talk-in-front-of-people.html Tue, 24 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/padrino-and-template-inheritance.html Rango was the first framework supporting template inheritance in Ruby.

I talked about freelancing for Prague Ruby group and for TechSpring in Olomouc and about messaging for Masaryk university. http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/my-presentations-freelancing-and-messaging.html Wed, 18 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/how-to-stay-motivated.html One of the key difference between successful and unsuccessful people is in their motivation. I used to lack motivation time to time, but in last months my motivation increased rapidly. And I didn't have to put much of extra effort to it! http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/how-to-stay-motivated.html Sun, 3 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/pending-examples-via-not-implemented-error-in-rspec.html NotImplementedError can be sometimes really helpful. Unfortunately rSpec shows them as a failure, but aren't they just the exact equivalent of a pending message? http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/pending-examples-via-not-implemented-error-in-rspec.html Tue, 29 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/ace-static-site-generator.html Ace is a powerful tool designed to easily generate even complex web sites. I used to use Nanoc, but it doesn't work well for the complex stuff. Neither does Webby. http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/ace-static-site-generator.html Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/the-importance-of-a-flexible-job.html One of the best changes in my life recently is that I finally have a flexible job: I work when I want to on what I want to. I got used to it to this point that I can't even imagine to work in the traditional way anymore. http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/the-importance-of-a-flexible-job.html Mon, 14 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/nothing-is-impossible.html A lot of people seem to waste their time rationalising why they can't do something. Lack of talent, lack of money, lack of time, you name it! But I don't buy it, not anymore. http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/nothing-is-impossible.html Tue, 8 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/blog-reloaded.html There were barely any posts lately, I know. The thing is this blog was originally intended for Ruby, JavaScript or web-related stuff. But I'm not that interesting in blogging about IT anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love to program, I enjoy it, just it's often too trivial to blog about it. IT is an exact thing, get familiar with the API and work, anyone can do that. http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/blog-reloaded.html Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/html-5-review.html For a looong time there hasn't been any development of the HTML standard. HTML 4 was released in December 1997, with few minor updates since then. Finally in recent years a lot of people realised that the current HTML 4 standard isn't enough for needs of the modern web development and since the situation in W3C has been complicated, the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group ( WHATWG) started to work on a new standard ... http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/html-5-review.html Sun, 8 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/dry-your-yaml-files.html It's basically a simple inheritance pattern in YAML: http://blog.101ideas.cz/posts/dry-your-yaml-files.html Tue, 25 May 2010 00:00:00 +0000
