Blog update

Some changes happened here:
  • English language - first of all from now on I will I think I will write in English, and as nobody reads it anyway I will give no reasons why. And I think I will skip on long stories, just essential information that might be useful to somebody, but mostly will be useful to me.
  • New home - domain cigaras.tk got disabled as a result fraud that I know nothing about, I tried contacting freenom.com for more details but they could not give me the exact reasons, so as I was forced to change the domain, I decided to change the blog location also, and here I am at blogspot.com, also reachable by valdas.ml valdas.ax.lt.
And that is all, If anyone stumbles across this page do not hope to get regular post here, it might look deserted, it might even be deserted, I still did not figured out why I even started this blog :) You can find more silly stuff shared by me on my Google+ profile, but again do not hope for regular post there either.
