Photo per day
I hope that some of you still remembers my small project that took in place between April 2008 and April 2009 - the small project when I posted one photo everyday. Well, for some reason I really liked this project and have been feeling a little bit empty not having it around all the time so I am going to do it again next year, but with small modifications. First, this time it is going to start right from the January 1st and not in the April and second, last time I posted mostly photos that I took in the last weekend, this time I am trying really hard to post only photos that I have taken in the very same day.
I hope that you are going to enjoy my photos during this project, the project is going to take it's place in http://www.mikian.com/365photos.
100
I was just looking administration interface of Wordpress and checking tags of old posts when I suddenly noticed one small thing, last post was my 100s post on this blog. It seems somehow amazing that I have already posted 100 posts here, I have been so lazy to post anything for most of the time but still I have clearly managed to post enough. It is not so much, only hundred posts since January 2006. A lot has happened during this time this blog has been alive and, sometimes I feel that I am different person that I was when I started to write to this blog. When I started to blog, for example, I had no dreams at all to go to study abroad and during this summer I did that. I was working in a small company at that time, and a lot has happened with my career since that. It is interesting to read old posts and remembering what all happened during those times when I was writing everything.
I have no idea how many persons actually reads this blog, some statistics says that I have not so many readers. I hope that reading my hundred posts so far has been interesting enough - let's wait and see what next 100 posts will bring and when I have wrote next hundred posts...
Private Server
Yesterday my website got a little upgrade, I was after a long wait transferred to Dreamhost PS, which is a dedicated virtual server just for me.
My site has not been under heavy traffic but still my gallery has been feeling slow sometimes. Not anymore, at least it seems to be faster.
Of course as downside I have to pay a little more for this server now, but at this time I really think that it is worth.
One of the nicest thing in Dreamhost PS is ability to change allocated resources in real-time. If I think or see that I need more memory to my server, I just login to panel and assign more and after a while it has been updated to my server. For example I tried to install and run GlassFish application server and it needed a lot more memory than I was originally allocated (and paying for). But with Dreamhost this was no problem, I just increased memory in control panel, waited for change to become active and then installed GlassFish and tested it. After testing I just went back to original memory setting and I only paid for few hours for more resources. This is exactly how things should work. Just pay for what you are using, not about what you might sometimes need to use.
Site redesign
As you might seen, I have a little site redesign under construction. This means a few changes in this site. The most visible change is now the new address of my blog. I moved this blog to its own sub-folder and its new address is http://www.mikian.com/blog. This change allows me to add different content to main page. Earlier my blog was my website but from now on this blog is just a one part of site. Although site doesn't have anything else yet, I promise that someday there will be. I try to add something in few weeks but I cannot promise anything.
For newsreader users, this redesign means that you might need to update feed address on your reader. I try to keep old feed address working but I cannot guarantee that.
