After using rakit/console for years, I finally decided to fork it (it hasn’t been updated for 8 years) and create my own version of this simple PHP console library.

My open source package codeigniter-ai-translation now supports OpenAI provider, in addition to Anthropic.

The Claude Code CLI has a status bar built into the bottom of the terminal.

We all have the type of colleague who is not afraid to create a branch, make a change, and then forget about it for months.

I have created a simple pseudo-3D game demo in MonoGame (C#) to demonstrate how the early FPS games (Wolfenstein 3D) worked.

Bagatelle!

A few months later, I tried to start up my Prusa Mini printer to print something for my daughter.

This is my eleventh report on my reading and gaming activities.

I am pleased to announce my latest contribution to the open source community: PowerDocker.

EDIT 2025-11-19 It is not true!

I am excited to announce my latest project, Pohádkovna.cz, a platform that leverages AI to create and share stories.

My new project is called LEDmech - a merge between LED strips and “mech” which is czech for Moss.

I recently published a new version of my game called Nazdar!

I suddenly felt the urge to buy a new 3D printer when I saw the Prusa Mini in action.

This is the tenth anniversary report of my reading and gaming experiences over the past year.

My latest contribution to the free software community is a web extension for Firefox and Chrome called GitHub Avatars.

You want to translate your CodeIgniter project into multiple languages?

I have a rainwater tank in my garden and I’m a tinkerer, so I decided to do some water level monitoring.

I’ve been using Docker for nearly three years now, primarily for development purposes.

What I Read Well, not much.

After nine months, I have released a new version of my open-source game, Nazdar!

This is an updated FINAL ranking (as of 2023-11-26) of Formula 1 teams, ranked by their IT sponsors or the products whose logos are displayed on their car wraps.

Loop Clipchamp Outlook Why should we, poor developers, use native Microsoft desktop technologies (even if they are multiplatform) like MAUI or WinUI3, when even Microsoft itself is not capable of it and uses web technologies for new applications?

This is a very fine-tuned procedure to restore MariaDB backups.

Call me an early adopter, but it’s only 2023 and I just bought a new Xbox Series X.

After more than a year of work, in March I “published” my more or less first real game, which I programmed in C# in the Monogame framework.

Who could resist building their own gaming console?

What I Read In 2022, I hardly read anything, I mostly played games.

Half a year ago, I famously migrated my websites and experiments to Azure, specifically to Static Web Apps (which are free), App Service (Flask website, also basically free with limited CPU time), and Cosmos DB (a NoSQL database with a SQL-like API…sounds…

I have a problem with issues at work being spread across several BitBucket repositories.

I made a mini project just for fun - diesel - it shows the current fuel prices at my two favorite gas stations.

I decided to move all my small websites from the company server to the cloud and get rid of Wordpress at the same time, because I’m a Wordpress hater.

I created an Internet of Things smart box for ExitShop to display the current number of orders and, most importantly, play a melody (like Super Mario) when a new order arrives.

In our house, we have underfloor heating controlled by a Tecomat box, which opens and closes valves based on the temperature in each room and the set target temperature, allowing hot water to flow into each room separately.

Not all games are available on Xbox, so every gamer surely has Steam.

This year, we moved and now we are three.

I don’t know when or why, but Firefox started caching forms, probably as a protection against accidental deletion, for example by refreshing the page.

I built my weather station a few years ago, but only now do I dare to write an article about it.

I’m so old that I remember the time of bloggers and RSS readers.

This microwave is about 20 years old.

Motivation Whenever we onboard a new developer to ExitShop, the biggest challenge is setting up the system locally, typically on some WAMP (Xampp, Neard…).

Here it is!

Here is a chronological list of games I played in 2020!

Nintendo 2DS is a “stripped-down” version of the famous 3DS and does not have a flip design + does not have 3D display (which was a hit in 2013).

Planting a tree, building a house, having a son…currently I’m at the second point.

A great feature in Windows 10 is the native support for Clipboard History.

I have already written about how to create a gaming console from a Raspberry Pi.

OttoDIY is an open source project with a wide community.

This year I slowed down a bit.

Another use for the Raspberry Pi microcomputer can be a retro gaming console.
