I had no idea, that this kind of software is so advanced already. In fact, I'm not touching the keyboard at all while writing this blog entry. We're going out for pizza right now, but I will have to try this again very soon. Man, this thing is awesome.falseFinker2005-04-28T22:59:00+03:002005-04-28T20:36:06Z2005-04-28T20:36:06Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387226.post-111472056606716430Poor catOur Sigvard got neutered today and he's been pretty weak. I sympathize with the little fellow. Just the thought of that happening to me makes me nauseous. Anyway, it had to be done and I think he's already forgiven us.
The snow is finally gone and the temperatures are around 10 C. Makes me happy. The Finnish labour day is coming up, and rumour has it that we'll be attending a party and watchingfalseFinker2005-02-28T20:32:00+02:002005-02-28T18:32:17Z2005-02-28T18:32:17Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387226.post-110961553714862161I'm back, baby!It's been three months since I last wrote here. I could say that I've been too busy to write, but I'm not going to. Because I really haven't.
A lot has happened in the last months. Here's a quick look at the past few months:
I quit working for the Internet marketing company at the beginning of December, and was going to concentrate on getting my final thesis done asap. Well, that hasn'tfalseFinker2004-11-30T14:39:25+02:002004-11-30T12:42:25Z2004-11-30T12:42:25Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387226.post-110181854596871116Maria's blogAlmost forgot. I talked Maria into setting up a blog for herself. Maria's blog also has a picture of our cute little kitty, Sigvard.falseFinker2004-11-30T14:33:13+02:002004-11-30T12:38:13Z2004-11-30T12:38:13Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387226.post-110181829381696568Awstats finally working on 1and1I have been struggling to get awstats to work on 1and1 and today I finally cracked it. A stupid little mistake that I made months ago kept me from getting the correct stats for my websites. Oh well, after hours and hours wasted on this, it is finally working and I have a peace of mind. A big thank you goes to Ravi's Tutorial: Installing AWstats at 1and1.com, couldn't have done it without thatfalseFinker2004-11-17T01:30:17+02:002004-11-16T23:57:17Z2004-11-16T23:56:35Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387226.post-110064939532964352HostingI'm trying to decide what hosting plan I should go for. Currently, I'm only using 1and1, which I've been using for free since January 2004. 1and1 may not be enough for me anymore, because I'm building more sites and the capacity of that hosting plan isn't quite sufficient.
I also need to decide whether to go with shared hosting or have a dedicated IP for each of my sites. HostGator seems tofalseFinker2004-11-02T16:53:38+02:002004-11-02T15:34:38Z2004-11-02T15:34:38Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387226.post-109940967846341782Traveling & US Presidential ElectionI've been roaming around Scandinavia for the last 1, 5 weeks and it's nice to finally sit down and relax. First we visited my sister and her fiance at their new apartment in Helsinki. They had a housewarming party with a lot of booze and food. It was good. I'm not a big fan of the city of Helsinki though, especially in the fall. Everything there looks, feels, smells and tastes somewhat depressingfalseFinker2004-10-20T01:36:36+03:002004-10-19T21:49:36Z2004-10-19T21:49:36Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387226.post-109822257648796201Terrible backpainI woke up this morning at around 9 am and I could barely move. No position seemed to be comfortable. Everytime I moved a muscle it felt like someone was stabbing me in my upperback. After a few minutes of constant pain I tried getting up. Huge mistake. Felt very dizzy and almost threw up.
Maria got my a couple of strong painkillers and after a while I could get up. I still look like afalse
