The size of the web
One of the thoughts that I had recently, due to a couple of projects that I am involved in:
It is practically impossible to comprehend the size of the web until there is a need to download and parse a large part of it.
Carnival friendly reminder
In you case you forgot, Limassol Grand Carnival is coming to town pretty soon. You can still get prepared though. Jumbo kids’ megashop sells a whole lot of stuff. Even if you don’t need to buy anything, I still recommend that you visit the place and look around. Olga and I were playing for about an hour there today only with the carnival stuff – hats, costumes, make-up, accessories – whatever you need. And it comes pretty cheap too.
We are still thinking what to buy for Maxim though. Pirate and Zorro are currently among the favourites. He’s definetely too young for a cowboy. And he won’t fully appreciate being Formula 1 Champion. Any ideas besides these?
Maxim has recovered, doctor says
Dr.Simos checked Maxim today and confirmed that he has recovered from the illness. No medications are necessary at all. And the casualties weren’t so tough either – his weight loss was within limits. Actually, he didn’t have any weight loss – he weights exactly the same as he did one month ago. He just didn’t have any weight gain. That’s it.
Both Olga and I are glad for the kid. We are recovering pretty fast too. I think we are almost there.
Hold your horses
All sites hosted on my home server will work a bit slower for the next month or so. This because of one of the recent projects o’mine. The Internet link is not a bottleneck here, but rather my server’s CPU, memory, and hard disk resources are. By the end of February, beginning of March, the workload should be moved to a totally different machine and everything will go back to normal.
Unfortunately, I can’t give you any more details at this stage, but you’ll definetely have more information in the future. No, really. I promise.
Until then, please stay with me. If the siite is unbearably slow, you can always try reading it via your favourite RSS reader. But it shouldn’t be that slow anyway.
