Watch Fight Club (Widescreen Edition) . It will hit you like a slap on the face. An eye-opening one.

I am a fan of Wordpress. It’s just too cool to have access to all the themes and plugins that a whole community is developing. I can completely change the appearance of my website with just a few clicks.

There has to be a bad part and there really is one in Wordpress’s case. By assembling modules written by various people around the world, you are taking a risk. Many modules are not properly tested, especially for interconnect scenarios. Activating a plugin or a theme can cause another to stop working properly. It happened to me with wp_polls plugin. After I activated the Mollio theme, this plugin was not printing correct anymore.

Lately I have  the feeling that I have to start looking into the code. And learn more about PHP and other web technologies. This is because I care of the usability of this website. I care if some hacker or robot steals or modifies some of my content.

First step that I did - I installed a plugin which can be scheduled to backup the db and email the resulted sql file. Maintaining a copy of the articles is very important, but is not all. I have to backup all my configurations of plugins and other files. This is not saved in any db.

Probably in some time I will learn enough PHP to start developing my own plugins with MY standards of quality. In the meantime, I am very grateful to all the people that worked on developing the plugins that I currently use. Thanks guys!

You could say that I am an open minded man. I respect other people’s decisions, without questioning them. But I also have personal boundaries.

Over time, several gay men showed interest in me. As much as I respect their choice of fucking other men, this really disgusts me. And when they look at me with a sexual look I feel like throwing up.

Couple of days ago a waiter was taking the order of a girl in my group. I went closer to them, wanting to order also. When he saw me, his jaw dropped, with a salivating look on his suddenly enlightened face. He literally ignored the girl that he was taking her order and came to take my order. At first I was happy that he took my order fast, as I was really hungry. Then, over the next few hours I spent in that place, it became disgusting. I was trying to order from other waiters, but everytime he came to me, smiling and with a flirty look. brrr. Everytime I was going to the toilet he was checking me out.

Other guys checking me out. hmm…

There are also good parts( ?!) of this - there is this club where I get free drinks from the bartender. He is also gay.

Fat women wanted me for as long as I can remember. Some grab my ass, others grind on me. This also disgusts me, but it’s much more bearable.

UPDATE: The son of my 80 year old neighbor offered to take me on a trip and show me around( he is a local, while I am not). This happened 3 months ago, when I first met him. I remember being excited at that time, he seemed a very interesting man. In the meantime we both have been busy traveling and working. Today I met him again, we talked for 15 minutes. After couple of minutes I started getting suspicious: he was too friendly. Or maybe he really is just being friendly. HMM. I don’t like this. How can you ask a 45 years old man if he is gay? This is a delicate situation, but I’m not going on his 4×4 until I’m sure he’s straight…

I own this memory card for 3 months now. Didn’t had any problems. I have never experienced delays in writing data to it. I use it on a Canon SD 850, with pretty high resolution and large file sizes.

The only incovenience I had was that when I had a 500 MB video I had to install specific Canon software. The automatic “Windows scanner & camera wizard” was not able do download it. But this may be related more to my canon camera than to the memory card. However, after installing Canon’s software for my camera , I was able to download the file.

I am very satisfied with my card. I saw on other Canon cameras, with other cards, significant delay for writing even a single picture to card. This would be unacceptable for me. That is why I am happy for this quality Kingston product.

The Kingston memory card is constructed with the new SDHC technology. There is no risk that cameras built in the next 5 years will not be compatible to it.

Yesterday I set up my gmail account in Outlook. I desperately needed to arrange emails by size, as I was at 93% of the 2.8 GB allowed. If you’re new to gmail, yes, they don’t have this option - arranging emails by size.

I managed to clean 1 GB of space by deleting about 150 of the largest and currently unuseful emails. Altough this made me happy, I didn’t like the lack of synchronization between Outlook and Gmail - when I read a message in one account it was still showing unread in the other.

No problem, it’s enough for now, let’s just delete the account from Outlook and clear 2 GB of space from my hard drive. Easy task. First thing that I did - I went to “Tools->Email accounts” and I removed my account from the accounts list. Now the list was empty. However, the emails were still there.

After spending 15 frustrating minutes searching on the web for this basic information, I decided to write an article about it, so others won’t have to waste their time. Or will they? Read on.

So, how do you delete an email account from Outlook? The answer I was finding everywhere was: “Go to Tools->E-mail Accounts->Email->View or change existing email accounts->select account-> click Remove“.

Well, it’s not that easy! This only deletes the entry from that list. The email account remains configured in Outlook. This means that all the emails are still on your computer and that Outlook will keep connecting to that email account.

I then tried ”File->Data File Management->select Personal Folders->click Remove” as I saw that this was pointing to the file containing all my email( judging from it’s size). Again, it’s not that easy, Outlook demands to set another email account as the default email account before attemting to clean the previous one.

I turned to Outlook online help. This lead me to where I started, plus some other nonsense results.

Then I went back to “Email accounts” menu and added a new email account, with valid information. After the set up was complete - surprise - I was not able to set it as default.

Then I closed MS Outlook and deleted the “Outlook.pst” file. Bad choice! When I started Outlook again, it complained that it cannot find the Outlook.pst file and exited. I created a bland Outlook.pst. But our friend MS Outlook is not that stupid! It again complained and exited.

In the end I uninstalled Outlook. I just wasted 30 minutes of my life.

Probably the thing was that the gmail account was the only account in my email accounts list. And when I deleted it Outlook went crazy. No matter how many email accounts I added after, the “Set Default” button remained disabled.

Good job!

If you have an “audio in” input then buy a cable and you’re done.

If you don’t, buy an fm transmitter. This is a device that you connect your iPod or regular mp3 player to and it sends the audio signal through radio waves. Meaning wireless. This way you create your own radio station. Then all you need is a fm receiver. Virtually all cars have a radio.

There are many fm transmitters out there. I would suggest one which has a large interval of frequences to choose from. This is because you will find that most of FM bandwidth is already taken by real radio stations. My fm transmitter allows to manually select the frequence, with 0.1 steps.

The signal is satisfactory for me. That is - most of the times the sound is crystal clear, as in a normal audio cd. However, in the evening things change and it’s much more difficult to have a clear sound. I still didn’t find out why at night suddenly radio stations start emitting.

Also I still haven’t find out why when I hold the fm transmitter in my hand the signal( especially in the evening) is much more clear. The human body acts as some kind of amplifier - more info needed on this.

I own a Belkin F8V3080 Tunecast II Mobile FM Transmitter. It was one of the best 25$ spent in my life( now I saw it’s even cheaper). It really improved my life quality, as now I can listen to everything in my car. It used to drive me crazy to listen the same audio cd over and over or to listen to stupid radio commercials.
You can buy it from amazon: Belkin F8V3080 TuneCast II Mobile FM Transmitter

It seems that you can find out on Belkin’s website which frequence is best to use in your area. It works only for US, based on zip code. I haven’t tried it though so I can’t say how accurate it is.

Listening audio in the car is one use of the fm transmitter. However, there are many other potential uses. One other would be that you can use the fm transmitter to connect your Winamp playlist to your stereo. Another would be to scramble your neighbor’s radio signal. There are ethical and probably legal implications here, so I wouldn’t recommend this latter one for an fm transmitter

Learn to prevent gums diseases, gums infection or other gums problems. 

If you reached this page because you already have non minor gum problems, please consult your doctor. Only a live consult can determine for sure the source of your gums problems.

Everybody knows how to brush their teeth. Few people know that you should brush your gums also. When brushing your teeth, you should extend the movement of the hand, to reach the gums also. This is the simplest way of preventing gum diseases, gums infections and other gums problems.

Sometimes, when you brush, your gums will bleed. No worries, that blood is bad blood( according to my dentist) and it’s good to come out. Keep brushing.

Try to brush under the tongue, up above the tongue. Brush as much surface as you can.

Ofcourse, extremes are bad. So don’t brush your teeth/ gums too energically. Or don’t try to brush your throat.
