Keep Blogs Secret?

Well, one of those things I thought about before starting blogging was, wether I should keep my blog secret.

As you might have seen on the links on the left and where I am listed, etc, you might have figured out, that I decided not to keep it secret.

However, I didn’t reveal all things about me on first spot.

also this blog is more about general stuff and nothig which is connected to my private life. (If I have any, LOL!).

But for those who want to keep their blog secret as e.g. your magical secret diary, here is a nice post describing a “howto”.

Trackback and the problems with my blog

Well, while browsing through all kinds of blogs, I have seen “Trackback” often and wondered what it is.

The best explaination about what it is (at least for me the best one), I found here.

Now the problem is, that blogger.com does not support trackbacks yet and the only free trackback system I could find was HaloScan.

Problem for me: It is linked together with their comment system.

I have installed both hoping that it would take over existing comments from blogger but it did not. Also the amount of comments is limited, for unlimmited amount of comments, you need to be a premium (paid) member.

So I wanted to stick with the blogger comment system but also wanted Haloscan’s Trackback system.

I have found in their forum a post here on how to use the trackback system in blogger only.

Unfortunately, after I have performed the changes, the font displaying in Opera changed from Verdana to Times New Roman.

I have experimented with it quite a bit and figured out a way, which doesn’t cause to mess up the blog layout, and now it works in any browser! 🙂

So if you want to trackback to my blog’s articles, now you can 😀 ! 🙂

The Advantages Of Not Being on ICQ (IMing)

I miss my fast internet connection, but I have noticed just today, that

being not on ICQ at the moment (since it would be too expensive!), has one advantage; No more weird people, at least at the moment. I seem to be a magnet for Chinese and Egypts on ICQ 🙁 .

It wasn’t be that bad, if it wouldn’t always be the same schematic;

“Hi! Can we be friends?”

and:

“Can you teach me English?”

Plus Egypts mostly end up this way:

– “What’s your name?”

me: “Joerg”

– “Oh, I love girls!”

me: “Ahem! Joerg is a male name and if you were looking up my ICQ User Details you would have noticed that.

Then those nice questions like:

“Do you speak Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, Romanian, French, Portuguese?” And I say NOOOOOOOOOOO, god damn!

I really don’t miss those weird people from ICQ 😛 But I miss my normal nice people and friends. 🙁

(includes real life friends who use ICQ and ex-classmates).

I hope next week, cable internet rockz my PC! Wish me luck!

Anybody who wants to express his sincere condolences about my lost internet connection (read here for more info about that sad event 🙁 ) may please send them to my email address!
