When I moved the blog RSS feed from the standard WordPress solution to Feedburner I managed to create some problems. One of the old feed URL’s not only was not redirected to Feedburner, but it was redirecting to a very…
A photo challenge on Dpreview about flying (more precisely about planes – photos taken in the interior of planes). From cockpits of WW2 bombers, to business class areas on modern flights to small plane interiors there is a lot of…
Well, doing a bit of cleaning around the blog I discovered that I started writing and posting photos exactly last year. First post – a ‘hello world’ kind of message – was posted on Jan 31, 2009. So, with a…
After a long period of freezing under the snow and quietly longing for the weather in Asia, it seems we are nearing spring. Finally. And so I start again to fret about new destinations, new travels, new adventures… Maybe I…
Nu, nu e (inca) vorba de mine in casa noua, desi o sa fie in curand un post si despre asta. Este vorba de relocarea “virtuala” a unei bune prietene, care acum are propriul domeniu si a shiny new WordPress.…
I’m bad at it. I am leaving on Saturday and I still have no hotel reservations, no real plans, and I still have printouts from Lonely Planet lying around the house – unread… Even my passport is still at the…
While I still haven’t processed the last batch of photos from the Helsinki trip (the ones from the Sveaborg / Suomenlinna island), I did browse the net and found a few interesting links and newsworthy items. The great news is…
Manowar – final concert of Bestfest – started the show in force. Yet not long after the start one generator exploded. Quote from Manowar : did Metallica play in Romania ? Did their generators fail ? No – why? Because…
So here I am – blogging live from Santana concert! Those that follow me on twitter @andreinicoara probably know what’s happening right from Bestfest. It’s a great festival, at least compared to our small selection, and tonight a lot of…
Yesterday was a great day at B’estfest. The first 2 big names at the festival – Motorhead and Moby – and the first day of the festival proper (the day before it was day 0. If you are confused by…
One word describes the first day at B’estfest: rain. Lots of it. Expanding a bit – rain, storm, thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening…oh that’s from something else. The pouring rain was real though. Having said that, the concerts were…
Ok, so now it’s 19 days since I last wrote on the blog. I have a few hundred photos waiting to be processed and uploaded, still a lot to write about the trip to Paris, a few interesting happenings in…
Ieri a fost lansat noul magazin online Orange. Pe langa cateva functionalitati noi si un design cred eu reusit, a fost lansat si un “challenge” pentru oricine vrea sa faca o sugestie, sa atraga atentia asupra unui bug sau a…
How time flies. I feel like I just arrived in Paris, yet the third day came to an and. Probably today I walked the most, although interestingly enough at 10pm I was still looking for new places to visit. Paris…
I started using TripIt to organize my trips. This website has a few nice features, among them nice graphic organization in a chronological order of flights, transportation, lodging, maps, directions, etc. However, the greatest strength is the easy import of…
Atunci cand Fredo & Pidjin nu au noi tentative de a cuceri lumea iar la XKCD am ajuns la ultima postare – mai am o sursa de umor: blogul Lumina Sfanta. La ultimele posturi am ras cu atata pofta, incat…
Different to most of my posts, this one has nothing to do with photography or travel. I just felt the need to share my impressions and feelings after reading the Twilight series, by Stephenie Meyer. Some people already know my…
And so, the story continues. Some people asked me how I manage with my new shiny toy – the iPhone 3G. Well, after being unconvinced that the iPhone is a good phone for such a long time, I have to…
Well, today after much fretting and waiting (a full 2 days, I placed the order on April 1st), I received my iPhone. I eagerly opened the box, inserted the SIM card, and powered on the beauty. I have to say…
I have to share one of the best satirical, ironic, humorous blog that I found in a looong time. Thanks to Jen, and later other friends, I stumbled on this jewel of tongue-in-cheek religious advice and teachings. WARNING: for…
