Alex's blog about interesting things.

How much I love writing...

... and how much I love blogging, while listening to music, alone in my room, on my couch, with my laptop on a pillow.

Really, one that does not write or blog anything (except idioting Facebook statuses) is really missing on a great experience.

Just a proposal about Digg-bar.

I'm writing this to post it to Digg.

You see, many sites experiencing the Digg-overload-effect can't be reached when they are shown on the front page. And now there is the digg bar.

Can't there be a new feature that saves a site into the local cache of Digg when it is strongly upvoted? It can then be shown to the users when the original one is down, using the Digg-bar. Yes, Google can do that but most times the interesting thing is an image - and Google cache doesn't show images.

ESP is one thing that can save your life when driving.

This video illustrates clearly the importance of an active ESP system in your car.

Other than that, many people mistakenly overestimate their driving abilities not knowing that all of their ability/luck is due to a tiny computer operating on their car's brakes.

A tumblelog about the personality of the city Ioannina.

I'm lately keeping a tumblelog with images from the city in which I study, Ioannina.

The tumblelog, which is in Greek and is called "Περπάτημα στα Ιωάννινα", can be found here: http://ioannina.tumblr.com.

The posts are quite frequent, almost daily and vary from a simple picture of the center or an unknown place, to a song or a comment that gives the essence of a day here.

My Google map about Ioannina, Greece.

The city in which I study Computer Science is well-known about its lively appearance, many cafes, bars and restaurants and lots of people moving around and having fun.

As a second-year university student, I thought it would be helpful to "tag" the most important places that a visitor should know, along with my personal reviews/comments.

Everything is in Greek, of course.

You can find the map @ http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=el&msa=0&msid=112490187731443416827.000462feb5519090edd4e&t=h&z=13
