Google, happy birthday!
Today Google has it’s 8th birthday! According to search engine logo.
CONGRATS!
These guys have definitely changed my life. Participation in Summer of Code is unforgettable because of the people I’ve met and the experience I’ve got. Just amazing. My adsense account is still in it’s early $thirties but who cares, I’m not doing this because of money.
Google Image Labeler is something that has cause more addiction for me than any other online game available. It is still a game, isn’t it?

Finished Part One of Blog Refactoring
To keep you in loop, I have now:
- reorganized blog categories,
- removed summerofcode 2006 blogroll,
- removed recent comments and trackbacks menuitems,
- added rotating quotes, hand-picked :)
- replaced hard-to-use search form with google search
Site looks a lot cleaner now :)
Let’s see where do we get with this now, I really hope to find more readers as I’m going to put more time into this blog and writing in general.
No Big Silence - time to start up
Dear Reader, there is a reason. Good Reason. For the one month inactivity at my blog.
Even then it was still a pleasure to serve everyone who came to this blog from google searching for eclipse word wrap, netbeans word wrap, junit transactions etc etc :)
A bit less interesting pleasure has been to constantly remove spam comments which have been more than hundred in one month.
Let’s get to the point
After working for one of the most innovative software companies in Estonia - Aqris Software, I’ve decided to pursue my next dream - to start a company, work as an independent contractor and build great software products.
My new baby is called Codehoop. No homepage yet, too busy with other errands.
I planned to have a three-week vacation after quiting from my last job. (Un)fortunately I already managed to get my first superior customer (from Silicon Valley : P) so I didn’t hesitate to wait.
This blog is getting it’s first post 2 weeks earlier than planned.
What’s next?
As a result of this, my AhtiK Ventures blog is going under reconstruction. Refactored categories and hopefully more posts.
The first tutorial idea is to make very quick and compact roadmap tutorial for using together Spring2, Hibernate3 with Annotations, Java5, Maven2 and junit4.
The problem I have noticed is that the first move to these tools has been great.
People quickly grasped the features and started to use spring, hibernate2, java1.4, maven and junit3.
For me it looks that new versions of these libraries are not adobted as fast as they deserve.
It would be great to have a little introduction how to tie together new versions from all these ingredients.
Stay tuned if you are interested :)
