Well, as you noticed, this is a blog. It has been created in order to reflect my current work, interests and thoughts and host a modest about page if somebody cares.
Primarily it is here for writing, but sometime I will add a photo stream from my flickr page here as well.
Technical details
This blog/personal site is powered by:
- WordPress, MySQL, PHP and Apache
- jQuery
- jQuery Lightbox Plugin by Leandro Vieira Pinho
- The beautiful Handyicons from Janko Jovanovic
- FlickrAPI from Dave Walker
And on top of all these, I’ve created a simple, custom theme to bind them all together and bear my signature.
Photography
Since I like taking photos, and its become a hobby, the blog serves as a place to promote it. I’ll post a few select pictures I like, and later I’ll decide how I am going to categorize those. In cases that I post edited pictures using Photoshop or other tools, I’ll always include the original (although I try to avoid “touching” pictures). I hope you enjoy them, as much as I enjoyed taking them, and please forgive my amateurism 
.
Categorization
I’ve designed this blog to be as simple as possible, so I tried to reflect that on the blog categories as well. So, I’ve split the blog into 3 categories that fit my life right now. Of course this would change in the future. These three categories are:
-
me
As a part-time human being, sometimes I want to talk about my life. While from previous blog attempts I come to find that I do not like anymore to talk and whine about me and my life, sometimes I have to.
-
us
I’ll use this category to discuss things that might interest more people other than myself. It extends to a circle of friends versus the ‘me’ category.
-
extras
Things that do not fall in the first two categories. Not sure what will fit here yet.
Special thanks
This blog wouldn’t be possible without the feedback of many friends, notably: Maria Zeniou, Iacovos Constantinou, Marios Tziortzis and Dimitris Glezos. Thanks a lot guys (and gals)!
