Site changes

There were a couple of changes here, so I though I would point it out to you to avoid the surprises. :)

  • ‘Scripts’ category was renamed to ‘Software’. It seems more appropriate and widely used.
  • ‘Tips’ category was renamed to ‘Computers’. It will contain all posts related to computers, be that tips, tricks, stories, useful links, or anything else. I have also moved a huge number of posts from ‘General’ to ‘Computers’.

Short downtime

I am currently working on physical relocation of my home server from one room into another, so there will be a short downtime. I’ll update this node as soon as everything will get back.

Update (14:05): Ok, most of the work has finished. gucho has been moved to the living room and it’s CD-ROM has been changed to DVD-ROM. I will be configuring DVD playback and sound now, but it should not cause any interruptions in the connectivity.

New colors

As you can see, there is yet another new color scheme for this site. Since some of the visitors complained about the previous one being “suicidal”, I decided to change it. Finding few colors that work nicely together is not an easy task. Especially for the guy who never had any color-oriented education (like designers). So, I thought “Why should I reinvent the wheel?”. I did that once already, so I decided to use the same colors I use for the Intranet that I am building at work. Nobody is firing me over a CSS. :)

Next time anyone complains about the colors, he/she would better send me a color scheme as well.

Google ads

I’ve noticed recently an increase in advertizing of Google ads. Lots of sites do have Google ads, so I decided to try it out. As you can see, I’ve added a vertical bar on the right to all blog pages. I’ll see how it will go and if I like it then I’ll add it to other parts of the site. I guess that “Writings” would be the most appropriate place.
