Category: Site News

This website is very old. It’s been with me for many years. There are plenty of articles which are useful both for myself and the rest of the world. Bit by bit, word by word, link by link, image by image, this site was filled and filled over the years. Technologies changed. Some new techniques and concepts came up. Some old ones faded away. Spending as much time as I possible can (after everything else) on this site, sometimes I manage to introduce big changes – like a new bit of functionality or a totally different look. Not to confuse and scare everyone, I try to be open about the changes that were made. When something big is changed I post a description of what it was and why I felt the change was needed. These updates are published in this category.

Back from Pafos

Road to Pafos

If you have noticed a slight slowdown in posts to this blog, that is because I was in Pafos on vacations since Sunday the 15th. All the updates you’ve seen in the period of August 15 – August 24 were there because I prepared them prior to my vacation leave, so that you had something to read and come back to.

I have returned today with a whole bunch of stories, reviews and photographs and I will be posting them here in the nearest future. I have been keeping notes during the vacation, so don’t worry – there will be plenty of stuff. I just need some time to go through it and organize it.

If you are wondering why I haven’t warned you – that is simple. Security. If there are any bad guys around all they need to know are the dates that noone will be home and the home address. And since the home address is already published on this site, I decided to keep the vacation dates a little secret. Now that I am back, that is secret no more…

Fixing comments

I have received a whole bunch of complains that comments are not working properly. There were few problems:

  • Registered users could not post comments, because they were redirected back to blog’s main page.
  • Replies to comments didn’t work for the same reason as above.
  • Replies to comments couldn’t be added in some browsers.

After a few dirty hacks and brilliant fixes by yours truly, I think these probems should be mostly over. If you still cannot comment or reply to comments, let me know via email or, well, comments. :)

P.S.: Stupid ‘Preview comment’ thing is gone. It was causing too much troubles.

Minor downtime

There was an approximately 45 minute downtime today (from 21:45 until 22:30, Cyprus time). For once this had nothing to do with me. There was some network problem with my provider. As far as I understood it, it was not even their fault but someone above. Maybe even that was global…

Anyway, the site is back and it is fully operational. Enjoy your stay.
