highway raid

Yesterday i was travelling from Croatia to Czech republic (over night) and somewhere in Austria I experienced something I have never seen. The whole highway was closed and diverted to a petrol station / rest station, where were tens of policemen with guns and were checking each car and truck. Well we were able to continue but I was really wondering what was going on there. It was done really profesionally and what felt really crazy was the horizont of the highway how each lane was blicking with yellow light "move right arrow" and suddenly there was no lane at all only the rest station with hordes of policemen :-).

Connecting Witcher Wild Hunt to GOG Galaxy

I spent quite a time to find a solution on how to connect my Witcher 3 Wild Hunt game to the GOG galaxy... sooo. The code is written on back of the manual. Jeez, been quite a blind person I suppose. Without a tip on GOG forum I would be lost :-).

Goodbye Winamp

I used Winamp since the beginning but lately when i was browsing online on Google Chrome music was stuttering and computer so slow it felt like forever. Even mouse cursor was moving like i had 486 processor with Win8 and not the i7.

First I blamed Chrome, because Winamp was with me all the time. Then i blamed antivirus. In the end I even reinstalled audio drivers... then it came to my mind - how about trying to play the music in a different player?

Well... the result is so obvious that I feel ashamed it took me so long to find the culprit.

Because Winamp is now deader than dead (yeah "coming soon" like for several years already) I decided to switch to a different music player.

maybe will come back later with what I have chosen instead of Winamp.

UPDATE 26.5. I switched to MusicBee and have to say I am quite satisfied.

Locks & Other protections

I recently read a wonderful sentence about home security:

"All these locks and alarms you have installed at your doorstep are here to protect you from decent people. For the villains this is no obstacle at all."

In the Czech language we have a proverb: "Opportunity makes the thief."
