Too complex

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006
You know, the design of this blog is too complex. It is confusing. It took me a while to figure out how to post a new entry. After that, I can't even distinguish which one is my posting and which one is system message(s). Arrrggghhh. I've got to make it simpler.

Or ... blog elsewhere.

My hotmail is now 25MB

Friday, May 26th, 2006
I have just realized that my hotmail space is now 25 MB! Yay! Originally, since it was created long time ago, it was 2 MB. Nowadays, 2 MB is nothing so I didn't use it. It is always full with junk and spam mails. My account has a simple mail address (a common name in Indonesia). Now, with 25 MB I can use it. I hope.

Reliability of blog services (again!)

Monday, April 10th, 2006
I was going to update my blog at wordpress.com but could not login. It said "408 Request Timeout ...". I had to contact their admin for it. Okay, I will do that later.

Then I wanted to access my multiply.com account. What do you know? They were down for maintanance. Okay. I then started two concurrent sessions to this blog and AOL journals. I will post to whichever faster to respon. Lo and behold, this blog came up faster. So I posted an entry here.

In my other blog(s) I have complained about the reliability of blog services. I understand that they are (mostly) free services, but it does not mean that people do not depend on it. Maybe I am too demanding, but when you have to write ... you gotta write. Otherwise, the mood is not there, the idea is gone, and whose fault is it?

There is a beautiful example of this. I was part of modblog.com addicts. I posted regular at my account there. Then it happened. The server(s) down for more than 2 weeks. The users had it. We all moved to efx2.com. So, now you'll find blog addicts from modblog at their new addresses in efx2.com (which has served me better!). I post regularly at budi.efx2.com.

We will see if this hickup(s) is happening to MSN.

Using IE 7

Friday, March 3rd, 2006
During configuration of this blog I was prompted to download IE7. The message says I could do more with IE7 and this blog. So, I downloaded IE7 (Beta 2). I am still looking for improvement (if any) in this blog.
 
I noticed that there are some improvement in IE7 itself. It has tabbed browsing with the same keystroke shortcut (ctrl-T) as in Firefox. That makes it easier for me to start using IE7. Let me play with it for a while and tell you later on how it goes.

Simpler design

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006
Going through the menus and configuration, I finally found a way to make the design simpler. There's still a snag. I still can't force the layout to use the whole browser width.

Also, I am a fan of "Georgia" font. It's not in the list of available fonts. aw sucks.

We'll find out some more ...

Design is too crowded?

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006
You know, the design of this blog is too crowded. Too many things appear on the front page. They make loading slower and confusing. I just hope that MSN provides other (simpler) templates.
