WordPress 2.5 upgrade

Mar 31st, 2008

I upgraded today to new WordPress 2.5 from my old version 2.3.3. The update went painless although I use a lot of plugins and took just around half an hour to complete. I recommend using the Automatic Upgrade plugin which should save you a lot of trouble. I have also updated my plugins, SEO Friendly Images, Theme Test Drive and Smart YouTube to new WP 2.5 design. Frankly I do not fancy it a lot, somehow I got used to the old one, specially the dashboard but time will tell.

What’s hot in tech right now

Mar 29th, 2008

Past few weeks I have discovered some very cool things to play with. I don't have so much time on my hands right now so I thought I'd share them and hear some opinions. Asus EEE PC 900 This very cool device is an ultra-portable laptop with 9" screen, Intel Pentium M 900MHz processor and a 12GB sold state drive. It's very small size makes it ideal to carry around almost all the time, and it comes equipped with wireless connection.

A Tribute to Commodore

Mar 18th, 2008

Recently I found some interesting videos on youtube from the Amiga time, and the memories just kept coming. I am a member of a generation that started out on a Commodore 64 in 1985, moved to Amiga in 1990 and only bought a PC when I had to, in 1996. The time spent with Commodore computers marked my childhood but also me as a person. Those were some wonderful times and this is a tribute to them. Elite on C-64 This is the game that got me sucked into the computer world.

My First Parachactue Jump Video

Mar 16th, 2008

When they find out I've jumped from 4,000 meters a lot of people asks me how was it. I always tell them it is something that can not be described. I have entire video footage of the event and I decided to put it online. The happening took place in Austria, courtesy of mr. Kapl who is an experienced jumper. I was there on a trip with three friends and eventually he convinced us it's something we should not miss. We opted for tandem jump in which you jump attached to an instructor.
