Some Updates
This post is nothing of research value, just some updates on this place and its owner that I thought you might find interesting.
Sleepless
Of the 58 hours that make my weekend (10 Friday hours included), I’ve been awake for about 40 hours, give or take. Busy friends, writing and interesting stuff online (WoW included) took the best of me this weekend, so no beach, no real relaxation. I don’t complain though - I had fun, and my eyes now look like I’ve been sniffing glue all week long.
Photos
My zenphoto gallery is officially dead. Some bug after the upgrade to wordpress 2.0 doesn’t let me upload photos successfully, and I’m too bored to check further the zenphoto forums for an answer. So all my graduation photos are going to flickr, all my future photos as well. It was about time I started really using this thing. Keep posted, summer & beach photos coming soon!
Writing
Don’t forget to grab the greek edition of PC magazine this week! Featuring my usual web 2.0 news & sites pages, as well as my first article on… well, you’ll see. Go buy it!
Earthquake
A rather strong earthquake hit Crete (again) this morning, at about 04:00. I was awake at that hour, felt the trembling, thought, ok, earthquake, it’ll pass. But then this bad mofo managed to scare even me: a huge shake, very strong, but very short too. All in all, it lasted about 5-10 seconds. Just for history, the earthquake was a 4.4 on Richter scale. Not that strong, but scary altogether! (Nightly earthquakes are the worst, I tell you)
Lebanon
What can I possibly comment on that issue? Only that I’m glad the one Lebanese person I know is well and moderately safe. Other than that, I’m deeply sorry and very angry due to the situation there.
Summer
I need a vacation, badly. Not that work tires me that much, just that I need some time on myself, doing nothing that I don’t want to. I’m aiming for a 15-day vacation in August, but I don’t know how much of it I’ll get. Oh well, I can hope… I’m not heading to anywhere, though, I’ll stay home. Macbook fundraising, remember?
Visitors
This month, my blog visitors showed an un-remarkable but nice progress. I’m not sharing numbers with you, but this fact made me really happy, let’s hope it lasts. Thanks for your kindness in visiting, people!
Feel free to share your plans with me, I’d love to know what your summer life is like.

Tell us about the article!!! Some people (like me) live too far to buy it, so please tell us a quick summary!!!

Ok, John.
The article is about blogging, how to start it, where to find sources and inspiration, what to do to make it worthwhile and rewarding.
I’m excited, since it’s the first true article I write, and I’m more excited for the fact that it’s about a magazine as popular and serious as PC Magazine.
