One of the best views in Slovenia. From Triglav on the left to Škrlatica on the right.
Hazarder - kratka zgodba
Spodaj objavljam kratko zgodbo, ki sem jo napisal za literarni natečaj v okviru konvencije fantastike in znanstvene fantastike “Na meji nevidnega”. Pisanje sicer ni nekaj, kar bi normalno počel, a sem to priložnost izkoristil kot izziv, da se tudi v tem preizkusim. Zadeve sem se lotil resno in kar nekaj ur prostega časa porabil za pisanje in kasneje za izboljševanje. Zelo sem vesel, da je bil trud poplačan in je zgodba na koncu premagala več kot dvajset drugih in osvojila prvo mesto. Zahvaljujem se Kaji, ki me je povabila k sodelovanju, ter Nini in Anji, ki sta prebrali zgodnejše verzije in mi dali zelo koristne nasvete za izboljšavo.
Upam, da bo zgodba všeč še komu.
Arduino laser stopwatch - UPDATE
Since in my previous post I was thinking about making PCBs and a new prototype I did exactly that.
Arduino based laser stopwatch.
Some of you may know that I play curling. Luckily for you this post won’t be about that. It is enough you know that having good control of your slide speed is very important since it enables the player to make consistent shots.
Therefore in training and also during games someone will time the time from when the stone crosses the tee line(some teams use the back line) until it crosses the first hog line. From this time the throwing player will know if he hit the speed he wanted and the sweepers can include this data into their decision about the sweeping.
Timing this with a regular stopwatch has some drawbacks. One is that it introduces some error because it is hard to be completely accurate. It is also a bit impractical during training where one could train slides by themselves but has to have someone to do the timing.
Therefore it is great to have a device that can do this on its own. Such devices do exist [*], but $1500 + whatever a big LED display costs is not something we could justify spending. In Slovenia most of the expenses we have are payed from our own pockets. Therefore I decided to go the DIY way. For a long time now I wanted to play with the Arduino and this was the perfect opportunity.
Clearly made by wizards.
Yesterday, August 28th, 2013, marks the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s famous speech, “I Have a Dream”.
If you live in the US, you’ve…
It seams you can read it if you want to: I have a dream …

Managing live curling scores
So, as nobody reads this Blog (and I also never mentioned it) it may come as a surprise that I am an avid curling player. Currently playing third in the Slovenian national team.
Procrastination and slow simbol loading with ASP.Net MVC in VS 2012
So for some time now when I wanted to debug my projects it took an unreasonable amount of time to load the symbols so I can start using the page. This answer on StackOverflow did wonders. I don’t know why the default settings cause this problem, but Microsoft has to work on this. When you start to not debug and go straight into release after a change then the results are not really exceptional.
Alcatraz in the background
Alcatraz and the Golden Gate bridge are the two biggest icons of San Francisco.These little guys can observe them every day of their lives but I don’t think that they really care. Taken on my trip to San Francisco in 2006.

Schoolgirl on Tokyo subway In 2008 I visited Japan. Most of the time I spent in Tokyo where I tried to find a new place each day. The city is huge so this was not a problem. For getting around, like most people there, I used the subway. It is a huge system and the trains are always on time. This is one of the shots I got to make on there.
So, for a long time now I was somewhat neglecting my Photography. Recently I came across the Stuck in Customs blog, that I somehow managed not to know about. The work of Trey Ratcliff inspired me to make more photos and publish them wherever I can so people get to see them. So here is my first “artistic” photo on this blog from our trip to Australia in 2009. Sydney harbor as seen from the sea.

Tassaraja - Rhapsody in Blue
In the beginning of 2002 I was still in high school and my childhood dream of getting a mountain bike (that didn’t suck) was alive more than ever. 
And for the money I could afford I got a Garry Fisher Tassaraja (2001). It looked a lot like the one on Bikepedia but the components were somewhat different.
