Switching the blog engine

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

I’ve decided to try another blog engine. Previous engine, BoastMachine, had too many bugs for me to deal with, and it was not being updated for a year now. So, i decided to ditch it. This WordPress is looking very impressive so far. Will see…

The alternative Slovak dictionary…

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

… or the lists of slovak curses :) 

There are plenty of russian “curses-dictionaries” exist all over the web. But i have had problems finding a slovak one. For the longest time i knew of only one place where to find a dictionary of slovak foul language, it was quite popular “The Alternative Dictionary” which contains translations to many nations’ “bad tongue”. However for Slovak, it contains only seven words, and that number has never increased over the years.

But recently i’ve found another, more comprehensive one :) It is located at this site: fmg.sk. Why bother reading and learning profanities? Because people are using them! You’ll read them in chatrooms, you’ll hear them in the audio jokes or even songs downloaded online, and no doubt you’ll hear it from people in the real life…. and when you’ll want to know what they mean you won’t find them in your dictionary.
