So, people .. I greet you with Weird Al Yankovic - White and nerdy - never joke with a nerd! I bite!

Hosting troubles

I wish hosting providers sold services, which were offered in the adverts. The host I currently use, say they provide fast and good service, but today I was left in a WTF?! condition after a 10 minute wait to open the blog. I used to surf with such a speed in the dial-up age, almost 6-7 years ago. Could a hosting provider use a dial-up connection for the servers ?

Wow, even now, while writing this post I stumble upon some serious errors, caused by the slowness of the service. I wonder how long will this last and when will I move to another hosting provider…

Apart of the hosting problems, lately I’ve been very busy coding my latest projects, which for now will remain secret . One of them is almost ready, but still testing for bugs. The other should be ready in a few days and then a week or two more to test it and it will open for the public. I will write, once it is up and running.

I can’t think of anything else to tell you for now. “Me, Over!”

A few days later

It’s been few rough days lately. On Sunday I was at the second test at the NBU (New Bulgarian Universiy) and I hope I did well. I had 66 (sixty six) points out of 100 at the first one and I think that was a good result, as 98.54% of the other people who took the test had a lesser score. The results from the second test should be available very soon (tommorow, I hope).

After the test I got back home and needed a loong relaxing sleep, but instead I took my time and reorganized my noteook’s files. Surely a time eating process. As usual I stood up late and got to bed well after midnight and today I am like a beaten up - my head hurts badly, my eyes are closing, as I feel so sleepy, as I never felt before.

On the other hand the only thing that still keeps me up is that I got my brand new Buffalo WHR-125G wireless router/accesspoint and I am still playing with it. I will write a review of it tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or when I feel like writing about it . Surely it’s a great router, from what I have seen/tested for a few hours, though I couldn’t find any way to play with TTL values, but this is a subject of a little firmware touching .

P.S. School can damage your brain very hard!!

A new begining

Biser Perchinkov — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:03:26 +0000

There it comes - the new begining, which this blog needed for very long time now. Sure enough it has been a while since I last updated this page and this was due to my lack of interest in the subject named ‘blogging’. Now I have gained some interest, or may be I want to explore a new type of communication with the people around the world.

As communication is a two-way process, I want to make the first step and introduce myself to those who don’t know me. I am Biser Perchinkov, 18 years old programmer from the small, Eastern Europe country of Bulgaria. Now you may think if I am Bulgarian, why don’t I write in Bulgarian language as well? The answer is simple - I want to practice my english and I think this is a good way to do that. This will be a dual-language site, of course I cannot keep people from my country who don’t speak/read english away from the site, can I?

About the topics you would see me writing about are mainly related to computing, programming and stuff I personally like, dislike, etc. Don’t expect me to strictly bind myself to programming topics, or to personal stuff. There will be a bit of everything here. If you are interested in given topic, you can browse the categories you like from the sidebar.

I think that’s enough for now. If you want to say something, or share any cool ideas, write me (you will find contact information in the About page).
