Ode to the life itself
Wednesday, 28 March 2007 09:02:10 EET

Spring has arrived very early this year into these latitudes. We have had sunny, between +5 and +15, calm weather for quite long now. Yes they said this has been the warmest weather ever conserning the season and I do not doupt at all.



The sun and the light (or actually the sunlight) gives me the new energy and shake off the last remnants of winter torpor I had suffer in the dark times. The dark times are pure poison to me, mostly for I do not get fresh air (and sun) too much for in regular working days it is dark when arrive- and dark when leave from office and there is not too much to do in city in dark winter evenings.

We hired the cottage from archipelago of Vaasa. I blogged about the ascetic life in cottage on November 2006 and now we have took the first step. We just need to buy a new boat for the voyage from our "home-shore" to the islet for the phylo and my spouce but more from that when itīs more topical.

I have one wish (again) to the Blog Developer; Would it be nice if there would be the last blogging date in every area in the right frame. Now nobody really knows if there is something new in f.ex. the fishing blog, but if it would tell " 3 Fishing; 26 March 2007 " every "main page user" would notice that "aHAA, something new about fishing...

That would work, but I think a list of most recent blogs and comments would be also nice. Ok, now you have the "Hot Topics" which show the blogs which have the latest comments, so I could just add a date there.

You can now see the timestamps of the last replies on the Hot Topics list, or should. Wait a minute, it's displaying the last modified of the blog instead. Ok, will fix this tomorrow.

Hi Mika,

That was not what I mean. Hot topic shows "hot" topics, which is Ok. But there is no info when last BLOGGING has arrived into other areas. Of course if you first time comment something it appears into hot, but still no info that I have add an entry to fishing area.

Besides NOW it is MUCH WORSE than before, it looks quite... funny...

"Added display of last modified date of last reply of Hot Topics (=Blogs which have the latest replies)" -> Is it just the proxy or do it really still shows the last modified time of the base-blogging?


And the date stamp in every areas still not made? Iīll never invite you to sailing for when I ask you to reef the sail, you throw the lifejacket to the sea, shoot the distress rocket and start up the engine instead...

Hey Marko, you should ask for something out of the ordinary and you'll get what you really wanted. ;-)
