The exhibit is back online now. The design still requires some attention though. The gallery shall return in a day or two too, but it unfortunately won't be embedded with the rest of the site as the otherwise awesome new version of Gallery (3) can't be embedded yet. The author apologizes for the inconvenience.

A friend of mine just released his awesome snake game on Google Play (ex Android Market). It's got huge playing fields and nice retro graphics. The snake moves around with incredible smoothness. This is a must for all snake lovers out there and something great to pass your time by when you're waiting for something and only got your phone with you. And I should know it's great, I've been the lead Quality Assurance and a Consultant on this one, at least according to the credits.

I've been really lazy posting last year's photos from the Plitvice lakes, but they finally got an album in the gallery. There are 10 for now, but I might add some more some day.

Here is a little photo story about a little bear climbing a tree. I hope you'll enjoy it.

In the last 10 days I tried adding a new photo from my extensive collection to the photo exhibit every single day. And, surprise, surprise, I did accomplish that on all of those 10 days.
And from now on, at least one new photo shall be added to the exhibit every single day, except, of course, on the days when I won't be able to get to a computer, but I might compensate for that.
I hope you'll enjoy seeing them all.

A new version of Mine Explorer is in the making. This time the platform is Android so the entire game is being redesigned from scratch, including the graphics. I might not end up calling it Mine Explorer.

Stay tuned for more info as the development continues.

So our insignificant little planet completed another turn around its insignificant little G-type star in an insignificant spiral arm of an insignificant little galaxy in an insignificant little cluster of galaxies in a humongous universe? Why should we care? Oh, you can get chocolate from people for free just because of it? In that case, I wish you a very chocolatey new year.

Actually, autumn has been around for a while, but it just came to this web exhibit a few minutes ago. You can find it in the menu or by following this link. I hope you'll enjoy looking at it.

Flying Dog Fish gets back to vector format by getting it's lines carefully traced inside Inkscape. This allows FDF to grow and shrink seamlessly, which makes the tiny page icon shown in browsers look much better.

After months of waiting for the right weather to be taken the photos from a Hot Air Balloon ride over Ljubljansko Barje were a bit scared to get posted, but they finally decided to join my little photo exhibit.

Sometimes reality just isn't enough. That's when people turn to digital image manipulation (usually called photoshopping after the most known image manipulation program). You might have noticed "Photoshops" in the site menu. Believe it or not, that's where some of my photoshopping attempts shall end up from now on.

I finally got to adding the photos from my last visit to Rakov Škocjan into a new album. It only took me a month :/
I also added a new menu item for the latest images, which was previously easy to miss as it was only visible inside the main album.

Some weeks ago I got myself a Lensbaby Composer. That's a special lens that gives you great control over your focus area. Let's not waste words on it, just look at the video explanation on the official site of how this thing actually works.
Anyway, I just love playing with this thing. I've still got to a lot to learn on how to use it properly, but the first image worthy of showing has been added to the gallery.

I really, really hate daylight savings time. I mean, what's the bloody point of making everyone wake up an hour early?

The earth has come over halfway to its position in its orbit around the sun when its northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun the most. In other words: spring is here. This means more daylight to take photos in, kinder temperatures to take photos in and most importantly, beautiful scenes of nature coming to life, of beautiful flowers, of trees in full blossom, of green pastures, not to mention much less white and brown and gray and much more green. What are you waiting for? Go out and enjoy. Go take a peek in my gallery if you don't believe me about the benefits of spring.

I changed the title banner of the site a bit. Can you spot the difference? If not, click "read more" below. The watermarks are also in the process of being replaced with something in the same style.

Sometimes a photographer doesn't need to get far from home to make great photos. A couple of days ago a distance of about 2 meters was more than enough to capture some bees from very close. You can see them on the right until I post more photos. After that you'll have to visit the bee section of the photo gallery.

I finally got around to adding some photos (15 if I counted properly) to the gallery. Some took quite a long time to get in the gallery. But most are less than a week old. Enjoy.
There they are.

Duke Nukem Forever (DNF), for which the term "vaporware" was invented, is supposed to be released in May 2011. I'll believe it when I see it. DNF sets the record for longest game development time at 14 years.
I just realised that I'm the author of some vaporware myself, it has been almost 12 years since 2 of my games were announced :
