I am realizing an interesting thing. When I work solely on my Macbook just with a mouse I get done much - and I mean it - much more work as opposed to when I work behind my desktop with a big 24″ screen.
It’s like with the big screen I focus too much on details - especially when designing and doing front end/GUI stuff. On the 15″ Macbook screen everything is more compact. Less information to process, more focus possible.
Interesting.
If you are looking to start a website or blog, then WordPress hosting may be what you need. WordPress is an incredibly popular Content Management System (CMS) which automatically manages site content like blog updates, but also has features form maintaining statics pages. Let’s look at some of the features of WordPress, and then see how to choose a WordPress host.
WordPress makes managing your blog simple by automatically taking care of all the technical details. You don’t have to know anything about computers, servers, or the technicalities of web hosting to run and maintain a WordPress setup. It has a full-featured text editor, and great software for allowing you to manage your content. WordPress is the most popular blogging platform, and is used by thousands of bloggers every day.
There are two ways to run a WordPress blog. You can sign up at WordPress.com for a free account, and let them host your blog for you. This is free and easy, but the free account has a lot of restrictions, and you don’t have very much control over your blog. For much more control, you can use the free download of WordPress from WordPress.org to custom install WordPress on your own server. This gives you a lot of power and control over your blog.
If you are new to blogging and you don’t know much about web hosting or running a server, then this can sound very complicated. Fortunately, many web hosting providers offer packages where you can have WordPress installed and maintained for you, so you don’t have to worry about the technical details. These web hosts usually use software like the cPanel hosting software or a similar package to make it easy to control your server using an easy to understand graphical user interface.
WordPress hosting is a great choice for anyone looking to start a blog. It makes the process of maintaining a blog simple, and there are a wide variety of free themes and widgets that you can use to customize your blog and make it unique. There is also lots of support available for it because so many people use it. WordPress is free, and open-source, so its options for growth, development, and extensions are nearly endless. WordPress hosting makes maintaining a WordPress blog even easier than it already is, so you can have a completely worry-free WordPress experience. Check out what WordPress today to see what it can do for you.

…really enjoying it. I have been doing unit testing sparingly for a long time, but just now I am really starting to take it serious. Every new functionality I add to a project/application I am working on I seal with sufficient unit tests. Also it’s much faster to develop and test business logic using tests than testing it trough GUI. I’ve been missing a lot!
I am amazed with Hardy Herdon. It’s the best OS I’ve ever used. The only thing that was bugging me is that I was not able to install x64 version of Zend PDT. In my opinion it’s the best free PHP IDE around. The solution is very easy trough.
This guide assumes you have 64bit Java working on your system. On Ubuntu it’s just a matter of installing a package in Synaptic.
When you leave your blog not-so-very-updated for some time you’ll start to notice some bad things. Traffic slowly declines and the more you don’t post the lazier you are to write something new. But I don’t want to talk about that.
I made quite a big decision lately – I left the college (willingly). My main reason was that I was, with time, more and more interested and occupied by my freelance career. It escalated to such a point that I had to make a decision. Stay in the school or left and fully concentrate on my business. I chose the later. There was no reason for me to stay – I was simply bored in school. There was very little useful knowledge that I was gaining there. Our programming classes, the only ones that I enjoyed at least a bit, became a joke in the 3rd semester. But I don’t regret my time spent there. I met a lot of great people and learned something too.
I am quite excited. Finally I can concentrate on things that I really enjoy doing. I am confident that this is the right way for me to go, but, well, time will tell.
