100 post is here :)

Looking around Dashboard of my blog I noticed that I have 99 posts and have decided to make a 100 one to memorize this occasion :)

Before I used to play around my blogs and most of the time I was loosing the posts, and it seems like this is the first time I am getting so far without any thoughts of changing something :) Updates are the only thing I am planning to do, the rest should stay.

Hope to get to the 200 :), but quality is always better than quantity. The other this is comments :) they are 144 now and I hope this number to increase bringing some nice ideas and feedback to me :)

What you do if you don\’t want to?

It happen to me few times that people whom I helped in the past start calling me after long time passed and asking to do some work for them. They do it the way that I start feeling like I have no choice and that it is a kind of my duty to help them again. On the other hand, there are many reasons why sometimes I do not want to come back to some people and do any kind of job for them.

So the question is what you do in such cases, because if I reject to help, I will feel somehow a bit uncomfortable and by my nature I hate rejecting to help, on the other hand, I am totally not in the mood doing any kind of job with some people even again :(

It\’s like to help or not to help :)

P.S.: please do not the case above to be global. It rarely happens that I am not willing to help someone ;-) Otherwise I would just right here something like \”Do not even bother to ask me\” ;)

New HDD

I have experienced problems with my 40 GB Maxtor HDD for the past months. Although it was working it was making lots of strange noise, some times it failed to initialize and other stuff so I decided to replace it. This time I went with 200GB Samsung SATA drive. New harddrive is almost twice faster (all my old ones are PATA) and provides me with some more additional space :)

Blog update

I have updated some parts of the blog as promised but I haven\’t finished all I wanted yet. From the changes made:

– update of WP to 1.5.2
– AdSense-Deluxe plugin installed
– AutoBanReferrer plugin installed
– Gallery2 installed (you should be able to see the link at the top menu)
– Some minor changes to the theme

I would also like to notice that pictures in the gallery are far from the best quality due to the facts that:
– I suck as a photographer
– I use a camera built in my PE910 which is 1.28 megapixels and it is not capable of doing pictures of a very high quiality.
– I do not yet get what settings should I use on my camera to make pictures look better

Anyhow, I believe that these pictures are still having some value so I\’d better have them than nothing :)

WordPress Updates

I am planning to update the WordPress, as well as put some more plugins and functionality to the site so it may be possible for the site to misbehave for some time.

Planned:
– update WP 1.5.1.1 to 1.5.2
– install pluggin to manage Google AdSense
– install Gallery2 and try to integrate it in WP with the existing plugins (now I have a small digital cam in my phone and sometime I even do pictures, so I why shouldn\’t I post them here)
– install some antispam plugins (I noticed that the site receives more and more spam nowadays)
– check some other possible/interesting stuff to add :)
