All of my domains have the same NameServers: ns1.bule.org, ns2.bule.org… Bule.org is a domain name I registered in 2006, along bule.ro just because i liked how it sounds. I sold bule.ro to Orlando some time later, but kept the .org. And moving from one hosting to another (dreamhost, imountain, mediatemple, synco and others), i found […]

I really hope the great blogging tool Windows Live Writer will get better over time. Here’s my wish list, in case anybody from Microsoft is listening: fixing the jpg-png transformation bug an option for a cropped thumbnail. an option for choosing my own thumbnail name. wordpress has the -100×100.jpg naming system, wlw has -150×150.jpg system.

This is the cry of the Romanian blogger. For years he’s been begging for attention from the companies, and now that he has it, he does not know how to cope with it and how to deliver. Now he has made up his mind he does not want attention (press releases, party invites, product testing […]

I don’t bore people with my presence every time there is an event remotely connected to online, even thought I get invited […]

Loren Feldman, a master of video blogging and social media, has recently put a pay wall on his site. I have bought a subscription, because the man is really pragmatic and knows what he is talking about. The idea behind it is great: produce content people want to pay for. You don’t have to be […]

I’ve read two articles in the last weeks asking the question if blogs are on their way out. They are not. But it’s getting harder for the new blog reader to find good blogs to read. The blogosphere got crowded in the last two years with a lot of so-called experts, people with unclear expertise […]

W3 Total Cache is a good plugin. My main blog has quite a bit of traffic, so a cache solution is required. I’ve used HyperCache for a while, because it had better results than Wp-SuperCache. A few days ago I stumbled on to W3TC. I didn’t give it much chance at first, but after a […]

I updated some of my blogs to wordpress 2.9 and when i was trying to upload any pictures. I tried different solutions, including the one with the .htaccess and SecFilterEngine and nothing.
