    Light on a texture

    A ray of light shone through the curtains, and through the greening waters of the aquarium, to land on the paint-textured wall nearby.

  • The Daily Tune – Territory by Sepultura

    In the early 90’s in my early teens, I came across a band called Sepultura. Their latest album at the time, Chaos A.D., was fresh off the press and I fell in love with it. I liked most of the tracks on this album, and I remember I had it on loop (cassette days –…

  • Margin and Markup

    So you have an item which costs 100 and you need to find the selling price which would make the company 20%. Do you use margin, or markup? Margin and Markup are two concepts that measure value added and profit in terms of a percentage, either of the selling price, or the cost price. For…

    Recovery

    daklinara.com has been quiet these past weeks. It was my fault, actually.
