I haven’t posted in a while, I haven’t had anything interesting to write about lately. I do have some interesting subjects I’m going to write about sooner or later, I also have some unpublished content that I’m not completely satisfied with, but I might publish it sometime. I want to encourage everyone to use a feed reader, since you don’t have to visit my site all the time to see if I’ve updated or not using that. It saves you a lot of time!

Lately I’ve been trying out some new image hosting websites. I’ve been using Photobucket and ImageShack for quite some time, but I’m not really satisfied with them because of their limitations on file sizes and/or image resolutions. So I’ve been trying out Flickr and Picasa, which also have their limitations on certain things. Flickr is a good image host, but what I don’t like about it is that you can’t have more than 3 sets unless you pay a yearly fee of ~$25, you also need to pay that if you want to upload and share bigger photos. So Flickr is not good enough for me, which is why I’ve also tried Google’s Picasa. I like Picasa, I can have just as many albums as I want and I can upload files as big as 20 Mb. However, Picasa also has it’s downsides, for example linking to photos and tagging photos is a real pain. To link to a photo you can choose between using a direct link or a HTML link, but what I miss is a BBCode link for forums. Tagging photos is really time consuming since you have to tag your photos one by one, I at least haven’t found a way to tag more than one photo at once. I also just have 1 GB free storage on Picasa while I have 6.54 GB on Gmail, which is kind of strange, it should be the other way around. However, I think I’ll continue to use Picasa for a while, I’m a fan of Google so I guess I’ll learn to love it, just like I did with everything else.


Yesterday I got an email from a man called Andrew (also known as Cruxay) about a link exchange. This led to a new partnership which I’m looking forward to continue working on in the future. Feel free to take a look around on his new blog about Japan in general, it’s new but if you’re interested in dramas, the otaku culture and reading about various places in Japan you should definitely pay a visit.

If you’re interested in exchanging links or if you have anything else on your mind, feel free to contact me.
