Trick #77 is something like a plan B, an ingenious trick, a clever (but usually simple) approach to solve a problem. Its origins are unclear but it seems that the term is used only in the German speaking part of Switzerland. It’s most likely a derivation from the more popular German term Trick 17 which is a special game situation in the classic card game of Whist, which was played widely in the 18th and 19th centuries.

My name is Jan, welcome to my blog project. Once upon a time, I was looking for a simple and easy way to publish techno-geekical information on the Web. So, this blog ain’t gonna be a blog in the common sense. After trying a few CMS and Wiki tools I ended up with WordPress mainly because it’s very flexible and has a very large template database. 

If you find lots of spelling and grammar errors that’s simply because I’m not a native English speaker. Deför chan ech Mondart, ätsch :)
