Printed Photographs – Are They A Thing From The Past

On 22/08/2010, in Uncategorized, by Nick Vassilev

Have you noticed you don’t go that often to Tesco’s Photo Centre anymore?
I have.
I used to print a ton of pictures after each holiday… Hmm, memories of good old 35mm films bring a smile to my face.
I believe I am not the only one to start enjoying their photos on their computers and portable [...]

Apple iPad Arrived A Day Before Official UK Launch

On 27/05/2010, in Gadgets, by Nick Vassilev

My Apple iPad was delivered today – one day earlier than the official UK launch, which is tomorrow.
I am very busy in the office right now so no time for playing with it. I left it 3 rooms away in order to avoid temptation but tonight I am going to enjoy a few hours with [...]

Gretsch Billy-Bo Jupiter Thunderbird

On 15/05/2010, in Guitars, by Nick Vassilev

I first saw this guitar in the hands of Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. What an awkward shape for a guitar, I thought at the time. But somehow in the hands of the Texas blues maestro, this guitar was a tonal explosion despite its looks.
I understand that Billy Gibbons could play the crappiest Squier out [...]

Pioneer Kuro Plasma TV – Not Anymore

On 10/05/2010, in Gadgets, by Nick Vassilev

To my biggest surprise I recently found out that Pioneer have announced last year (hmm, I must have slipped past this one) they had decided to stop making TVs. I couldn’t believe what I heard (and read)! Pioneer’s TVs have always been occupying the top spot of the quality TV pyramid.
My first flat screen TV [...]

Webmastering, Clearing Junk And Selling It On Ebay

On 03/05/2010, in Property maintenance, by Nick Vassilev

Webmastering…Hey, someone has to do it. Well, I like it, but that’s different. I prefer to update my pages myself. Forget the CMS stuff – this is for amateurs and although it’s convenient and quick, gives you less control to everything.
I also like working on weekends and bank holidays. I love the silence. It gets [...]

Slash And My Guitar Playing Skills

On 02/05/2010, in Uncategorized, by Nick Vassilev

I have reasons to believe that Slash’s playing stands a few galaxies ahead from my guitar skills, as brutally confirmed by the latest assessment of my command of the 6-string instrument.
Rispek, man!

Updated wordpress, installed tweetmeme plugin – no retweets at all …since the last 10 min:^).
For some strange reasons my wordpress blog wouldn’t upgrade automatically hence the manual upgrade. No logical reason behind this inconvenience but I am willing to get to the bottom of it. Hmm, could it be the hosting provider? I don’t have [...]
