If you’re a busy professional, perhaps not even that?
I’ve always found reading to be an essential part of personal development. Not blogs - I mean the normal, in-depth, catch every word - not just the headlines - reading ;).
Over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed how my shelves started getting full of books I had no idea when I’d come around to read. Business books, fiction, language books, you name it …
Looming over me like a very pronounced shadow of outdated aspirations.
But why do I read less?
I suppose partly due to the standard reasons that we all face - apart from the apparent busyness, it’s ever-shifting interests and professional pressures that are making it increasingly hard to sit down and dive into one of the classics that you’ve always felt bad about not having read.

I just finished setting up Wordpress 2.5.1 for a friend and as it took me 1 hour to figure out a weird file upload issue, I thought I’d make it easier for you.
Like last year, the two main themes were technology and business.
Although I only attended the biz part (day two), there was a lot of opportunity to meet interesting techies, entrepreneurs and VC’s active in this region - and of course to catch up with old friends.
This provided for a good balance of entrepreneurs and VC’s talking about what it takes to get a successful startup running in Europe (and especially Eastern Europe and the Balkans).
Is building a highway to London really the only way?
I think not - but I do think starting to focus more on business than technology per se and getting some local biz traction are a prerequisite if one wants to get something globally notable off the ground over here.
Overall, a good and well organized conference - congrats to Berislav, Ivan& co.!
This region is definitely hungry for web conferences - it’s time we organize a good one in Slovenia, too!
