As of late, I have been trying to figure out my home computer situation. Simply put, I have too many computers. Right now I have my desktop computer, my laptop (which has become my main computer), my server, and an extra computer in the laundry room in need of a motherboard. There is no practical [...]

And, by complete coincidence, this is also my 300th post. It has been a great year, and I’m very happy that I decided to create [...]

I know my site is fairly modest and doesn’t get the most traffic in town but things seem to have been picking up a bit around here and Google is starting to realize it :). It has been at least a few months since I implemented Google Adsense (the google ads on the right of [...]

The recent upgrades to my site have allowed me to play around with a lot of new features. To take advantage of some of these, I decided to change the theme of my gallery. The layout is still pretty much the same, but the way content is displayed is more interactive than it used to [...]

Well, I finally took the plunge and made an attempt at updating Wordpress (my blogging platform), Gallery2 (my gallery platform) as well as the WPG2 plugin (which integrates the two). I don’t have a very good track record when it comes to doing these types of upgrades individually let alone all at once. However, I [...]

This weekend London is holding their 25th annual balloon festival in Harris Park. I decided to head down yesterday afternoon and get some shots of the event. As it turns out, the sun was blaring and didn’t really allow for great pictures. The bright, bleaching sun along with the dust flying around meant that this [...]

I’ve gotten a few complaints that my gallery is too hard to navigate. I take part of the blame for this since I love to organize things in numerous sub-folders. Although this system works well for me, it seems to be hard to navigate for others. To make things a little easier for those browsing [...]

This evening (well, it would technically be yesterday evening) I headed out to the backyard for a macro photo shoot. Basically, macro shots are ones where your subject is magnified. I’m pleased with the results of this set much more than my previous attempt because the depth of field and colours came out much nicer. [...]

I have added a new album to the gallery called Miscellaneous. Here I will post pictures of people, places, and things that don’t belong in their own dedicated album. The purpose is to get some pictures in the gallery that otherwise wouldn’t go up and also to track my improvement as I learn more about [...]

Well, I arrived in Toronto last night at 11:35pm and got to London around 3:00am this morning. It was a long day, but I’m glad to be settled now. The trip was amazing in all regards and was very educational, emotional, and has definitely furthered my personal development. So much happened over the 18 days [...]

Today is May 1, May Day. This is big day for Salvadoreans as many take to the streets to express their grievances caused by the right-winged government. As mentioned in my last post, the neoliberal policies of the ARENA government have increased inequalities and many people wish to see a change toward a more socially-focused [...]

In another attempt to increase traffic, comments, and rankings, bloggers have started to implement “Do Follow” on their blogs. By enabling DoFollow, whenever someone posts on your blog, they will get a direct link to their site from yours. The same goes for you. When you comment on a blog that allows following, you will [...]
