Optimized…

Blogged on March 7, 2008 at 00:07

I spent the last few minutes optimizing my blog’s code! Should be a *lot* faster now! When I updated to WP 2.3.3 a few weeks ago, I took the chance to remove some plugins that weren’t relevant and optimize my code a little to integrate better with WP’s “new” code.

Yesterday I dumped Google Analytics, switching (at last) to Mint! I ran them both during the day today, finally removing GA tonight! I can already tell you that Mint is substantially faster, not to mention that it gives the ability to view my stats, LIVE, on my iPhone anytime! (major advantage point from Google’s solution which resorts to Flash a lot). Thanks Shaun!

On a side note, I’ve been working on a design update… But I think I’ll make the mockups I created into a WP theme and freely distribute it instead! I’ve struck by some awesome, clean designs lately and have been gathering some inspiration for my next design. On the other hand, the current design is growing on me… :/ lol

Anyway, thought I’d share so you can give some thoughts on your user experience on this blog! Thanks in advance.

14-year old podcaster, geek and apple fan boy???

Ok… This is it: the world is coming to an end! How is it possible to have a kid be fluent in tech stuff, know economics, working IT, managing Sharepoint, manage a company’s computer park AND… be 14 years old??
Robert does it well to show the world a kid who podcasts on Apple stuff, has it’s own blog, uses Facebook and loves Twitter and is still able to keep a logical conversation with some interest over the tech world and it’s economics and dynamics.

The best thing is that he’s a “no budget podcaster”, like he says himself, uses Audacity for the podcast (which is open source) and thinks that what he does is perfectly normal for a kid his age, growing up in techAmerica. And if you think that’s all, it’s not! He even predicts about the future of technology, saying that with Microsoft launching it’s Control Surface, technology will be at it’s peak of user interaction and attractiveness, along with ease-of-use.

The weird part is that, being a Apple Fan is not enough to help him get a new Mac. He’s using PCs because he’s old Mac can’t really do the job anymore… Do you want to donate this kid some bucks and help him get a Macbook??

Airport Security ?

Terminal-screen at Kiruna (Sweden) airport.

Como fez o Carlos nota no blog dele, nem sempre as coisas correm como devem… Isto da informática… tem destas surpresas!

PS: Não que qualquer uma das duas tenha directamente a ver com “segurança” (ou falta dela!), mas engraçado é o facto de nem os “outros” OS (neste caso um *nix, que eu tanto defendo e fomento :)) estarem a salvo de preciosidades destas… Como diria um colega meu: “… os erros são quase sempre causados pelo utilizador/administrador, e não pelo software em si!”.

Nem sempre…
