Photography is the second thing I love in my life (I assume you know what is the first ). But I haven’t had the chance to setup a photoblog or online gallery. In fact I have no time to maintain such thing.
After discovering Buzznet I decided to create a free account and upload some photos. It is as easy as emailing photos as an attachement to an email address, and it will be on your photo gallery in a second! The only limitation (the only I know in fact) is 10 photos per day limit which won’t cause any problem for me.
Anyway, you can find almost everything on my photo gallery. Including a fat cat, a yummy strawberry, my desk and photos from myself!

I wish you enjoy the photos.

Here is why:

I noticed that today is the first birthday of this blog.
I don’t know why did I start this blog, may be just to test MovableType. And it was not a serious blog at the beginning, but now, it makes me feel bad if I do not write for a couple of days.

By the way, did you see that “Resume” ( read: Hire me! ) self-advertisement on the right pane of this blog?

Bad news for FreeBSD community is that Greg Lehey has resigned from core team. I am not going to mention that what important thing he has done for the project. The main concern is that unfortunately more and more smart guys are leaving the project which is a bad sign.

If you know Slashdot, then you already know what is Slashdot effect.

The Slashdot Effect is the sudden, relatively temporary surge in traffic to a Web site that occurs when a high-traffic Web site or other source posts a story that refers visitors to another Web site.

Almost the same thing happened to my popular article on Optimizing Mozilla Firebird. It has been featured in many weblogs including “dive into mark” and “Jeremy Zawodny’s blog“.
The spikes in my traffic graphs shows the effect.

I wish I had some banners in my blog

… It was because of some major changes in my work.
I was too busy with work. But good news is that I am coming up with something new and very interesting. Stay tuned…

I am not writing on a daily basis, but I update my linkfest (right side of the screen) more frequently. Like other contents of this weblog, linkfest has links about UNIX System and Network administration.
A RSS feed is available, as well as links archive.

First, please take a look at following shot from my MovableType activity log. This shows an error messages returned by weblogs.com when my MT pinged to inform them that this weblog is updated:

Well, I am really pissed off. What is it? A joke or what?
I would like to give them a piece of advice:

Dear Weblogs.com,

Don’t be (or pretend to be) funny, because it is not funny at all. I guess you are suffering from serious capacity problems. If it is so, make your service commercial, or sell out. A good service is a service that always works. If you cannot provide such service to your non-paying customers, you better stop this free service.

Thank you

phewwww. Now I feel much better.
