Power down
[posted at 10:11 GMT]    

Please, excuse my site down time. It was huge and it just went on-line few minutes ago after heavy power down around 11 hours ago, which has result in hard disk corruption. This was information from company where I have my web site hosted. It is unfortunate that this has happen just now when I have my Christmas shopping on-line. I hope people will come back. Unfortunately this kind of even do not increase a trust and do not add on good representation.
Now all seems to be back and I hope this will not happen again.

Busy with digital mat

After todays power down, traffic resumed after lunch time. And it is huge. It is nice to observe how visitors are staying and watching picture after picture.

I was spending evening with figuring how to make nice mat over images using photoshop or my trusted Picture Window Pro. I like to use it for eBay and possibly in my Web Shop as well. Would be nice to shop potential customer how will a photograph look at the wall when in passe-partout. This process seems to be not that easy as I expected and after three hours of tryouts and mostly failures I decided that do this manually will be not possible. So I am on my way to rediscover power of ImageMagic, I hope it will solve this for me.

And a side note. My web space provider made my nice offer for those 11 hours of down time today. I really like these people. If you ever will need very flexible and helpful team for you web site hosting, do not overlook www.yegon.sk
