No, I’m not referring to my hotness, that’s a well known fact.

I’m referring to the absurd heat wave that continues to torment Greece for over a week now – we’re talking 40 Celsius degrees (over 100 Fahrenheit degrees for our weird friends) daily (and nightly).

Our house, not having proper air conditioning (just fans), showered by the sun every day (we’re on first floor) does not cool at all during the night. Everything’s hot in it, beds, furnitures and walls. You cannot live without a fan tied on you and even the bottled water you drink gets hot in a few minutes.

As if the heat was not enough, there are numerous power shortages (that, my friends, means no a/c, and no a/c at work = bad) as well as lack of water (means not as many showers as you’d like – hell, no showers at all).

Now beat that!

Even I, a huge fan of summer and heat, am exhausted and pray for lower temperatures. This is too much.

 It seems that Flickr.com at last lived to its name and decided to change its homepage.

The new starting page sports better visual hierarchy, the well-known (and well-loved) minimal layout and colour theme and a more clever way of presenting its uses.

I mean, if you ever need to be told about Flickr uses…

Take a look and drop a comment.

This post is kind of a test, to try out the new (?) Microsoft Live Writer.

I have to admit, it looks really cool and actually useful, eventhough I’ve tried other similar application in the past and I’ve not liked it a bit.

On the positive side of this free app are the fact that you can draftly preview your post, since it auto-detects your theme, you can add maps, tables and formatted images with some clicks and plus, it’s extendable.

Not bad, Microsoft.
