So our insignificant little planet completed another turn around its insignificant little G-type star in an insignificant spiral arm of an insignificant little galaxy in an insignificant little cluster of galaxies in a humongous universe? Why should we care? Oh, you can get chocolate from people for free just because of it? In that case, I wish you a very chocolatey new year.

Actually, autumn has been around for a while, but it just came to this web exhibit a few minutes ago. You can find it in the menu or by following this link. I hope you'll enjoy looking at it.

Flying Dog Fish gets back to vector format by getting it's lines carefully traced inside Inkscape. This allows FDF to grow and shrink seamlessly, which makes the tiny page icon shown in browsers look much better.

After months of waiting for the right weather to be taken the photos from a Hot Air Balloon ride over Ljubljansko Barje were a bit scared to get posted, but they finally decided to join my little photo exhibit.

Sometimes reality just isn't enough. That's when people turn to digital image manipulation (usually called photoshopping after the most known image manipulation program). You might have noticed "Photoshops" in the site menu. Believe it or not, that's where some of my photoshopping attempts shall end up from now on.

I finally got to adding the photos from my last visit to Rakov Škocjan into a new album. It only took me a month :/
I also added a new menu item for the latest images, which was previously easy to miss as it was only visible inside the main album.

Some weeks ago I got myself a Lensbaby Composer. That's a special lens that gives you great control over your focus area. Let's not waste words on it, just look at the video explanation on the official site of how this thing actually works.
Anyway, I just love playing with this thing. I've still got to a lot to learn on how to use it properly, but the first image worthy of showing has been added to the gallery.

I really, really hate daylight savings time. I mean, what's the bloody point of making everyone wake up an hour early?

The earth has come over halfway to its position in its orbit around the sun when its northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun the most. In other words: spring is here. This means more daylight to take photos in, kinder temperatures to take photos in and most importantly, beautiful scenes of nature coming to life, of beautiful flowers, of trees in full blossom, of green pastures, not to mention much less white and brown and gray and much more green. What are you waiting for? Go out and enjoy. Go take a peek in my gallery if you don't believe me about the benefits of spring.

I changed the title banner of the site a bit. Can you spot the difference? If not, click "read more" below. The watermarks are also in the process of being replaced with something in the same style.

Sometimes a photographer doesn't need to get far from home to make great photos. A couple of days ago a distance of about 2 meters was more than enough to capture some bees from very close. You can see them on the right until I post more photos. After that you'll have to visit the bee section of the photo gallery.

I finally got around to adding some photos (15 if I counted properly) to the gallery. Some took quite a long time to get in the gallery. But most are less than a week old. Enjoy.
There they are.

Duke Nukem Forever (DNF), for which the term "vaporware" was invented, is supposed to be released in May 2011. I'll believe it when I see it. DNF sets the record for longest game development time at 14 years.
I just realised that I'm the author of some vaporware myself, it has been almost 12 years since 2 of my games were announced :

Rejoice! I finally got the time to post some photos from the sunday's trip to Cerknica Lake (Cerkniško jezero). It was incredibly warm for the middle of the winter so the snow was only on the tops of the mountains. It was so beautiful it almost made it look kitschy. Enough said, you can go visit the gallery now.

You might have noticed the lack of "Happy 2011" post this year. Does that mean I forgot about it and even missed it? That's hardly possible, one would have to live in a cave to miss it. Better make that a deep coma. I find it silly how much importance is put on a silly little occasion of changing the last number in the current date. Unlike other hollidays when people actually have something to celebrate (or at least think they do) this one is completely meaningless. It's as silly as saying the world will end in 2012 because the Mayan calendar ends.

The site was down for a couple of days because the PSU of the SheevaPlug on which it's hosted fried. I'm starting to think Marvell really sucks. They got a great product here and they're screwing it with bad components and workmanship, and even worse custumer support.
Fortunately NewIT was able to send me a new PSU very fast. I must say NewIT rocks.

I managed to acquire the .com version of my domain. My precioussssssss! :P
 
I'll take this opportunity to thank some domain name backorder spammers.
