Blog revamp – spring 2026 edition

The last redesign I did on this blog was sometime in 2020, back when COVID was still a thing and I had plenty of free time. Since then, I haven’t really changed much around here. And even though I really liked that design, I’ve kind of gotten bored of it, and it started to feel...

Your own platform is the safest bet

It seems like lately, people are looking for all sorts of new, “free” platforms, but everyone is running away from building their own. There’s something “unique” about social platforms that makes you feel good: followers. I don’t care about the people who follow me, or more precisely, their numbers. I care about having a place...

Building something practical with Web3

When it first appeared, Web3 was a big thing. Probably this was because it was a bull market too, prices of crypto assets went up and everyone was excited to make quick and easy money. Then a bear market came and everyone started to make fun of web3, saying that the space is toxic and...

Why do I write on this blog

This is entry #6 for the Bloganuary challenge. Today’s prompt is “Why do you write?” I have an older article about this in Romanian here. I also have this article on this blog subject: I consider this blog my long-running project. Over the years, I’ve contributed to a lot of projects, either on a personal...

Next blog theme iteration: 2022 edition

Usually, around this time of year, I want to build a new theme for my blog, but I still like the current one I have so I just decided to make small incremental changes. I’ve had some things on my mind for a while so now I just implemented some of those: Because my theme...

Is it worth it having a blog in 2021?

A few days ago, a major event went unnoticed by me: on the 27th of March, my blog turned 13 years old. Of course, I am talking about my Romanian blog since this one came to life just this year. But my first post ever on what then was filipac.net was written on 27th of...

Solving problem: just one of my WPML site is indexed in Google

Ever since I’ve created my English website and blog, I’ve noticed that whenever I search for my name on Google, I can see only my Romanian website, not the newly created English one. Initially, I thought it is a time problem and eventually it will appear since I’ve set it up on Search Console and...

Changed my domain name after only a day

Just wrote yesterday my first post on the English website and I mentioned that I had the domain filipac.net laying around and I used that. But then I remembered that the cool TLD for developers is .dev though. I also had the domain pacurar.dev in the shopping cart for a few months now in Google...

Hello world, welcome to my english blog.

Hi there! For a long time I’ve wanted to make a personal page and blog in English, but I was too shy to actually do it. Not anymore. On this nice Saturday evening I took an initial step to translate my existing romanian website to English. I use WordPress for this site so I quickly...
