Time, computers, hobbies, fetishes, kids and life

Time, time, time, time…. Time is ticking away, time is money, I’m running short of time, I have no time, you can’t stop the time, everything takes time… You hear that everyday, don’t you? But do you know how much time you actually spend on your hobbies, your fetishes, surfing Internet, etc?

Usually, I run several profiled browsers (Firefox) on several virtual screens. One for my work, one for general browsing and technical forums I closely follow, one for XXX browsing and one dedicated to this site. But the old and outdated OS had a memory leak somewhere, so after a week everything grinds to a halt. One temporary solution is to reboot the server, another is to kill one of the big processes. Aka Firefox. The first one to go is the XXX one, the second – the one I use to maintain this site.

Using “Like Ra” name in Google

Updated on Sep 03, 2012 @ 12:51:
And the answer was…. No.

After reviewing your appeal, we have determined that your name does not comply with the Google+ Names Policy.
…
You may re-appeal with additional information, if you have not already done so. If you’re already using Google+, your current name will continue to be used.

In any case, you never know unless you try 😉

I wonder if I can use “Like Ra” as the user name in Google services again. Just submitted an appeal. Currently my profile shows the following:

Google vs Facebook. Same story?

Weird, my Google account was blocked because of “unusual activity”, so I had to specify my mobile phone number to get it activated again. Yes, I know… Privacy, security… They do not exist in the Internet. I do not like the tendency. The amount of accounts in my rings constantly goes up and down without any activity from my side, people complain that their private pictures and posts disappear forever, their accounts got removed, etc.

Does the old Facebook story repeat itself? As soon as the amount of “friends” reaches 1,000 and you post something, your account (including Gmail) becomes more interesting for censors.

Or someone reports my posts. Ha-ha…

Here’s my badge, just in case:


Site news

Some of you may wonder why there are no new blog posts since … hmmm.. a months ago. A short answer is: “No time, no energy, no inspiration”.

A long answer is a bit longer 😉

  • Last month I was overloaded with my work, then trainings and last but not least: some family obligations. All these activities left almost no time for anything else (see the short answer)
  • When I have no inspiration I switch to other boring, tedious, but absolutely necessary tasks like system administration, redesigning and restructuring. For example, the tasks below.
  • System, software and forum upgrade
  • Forum restructuring
  • Added sub-forums for shops reviews (a long awaited feature)
  • New forum features
  • New games and new version of the SuperDeepThroat game
  • Revisited the completed self-bondage sessions posted in the forum and updated the index/table of content
  • Removed some more ads
  • Revisited links and moved them under the Blog control, so they can be easier maintained and automatically checked for existence.

More ideas, comments or complaints? Please let me know!

The forum is not working at the moment

Updated on May 04, 2012 @ 13:20:
One sleepless night and it’s fixed 😉 For some reason the plugin wiped out the template, theme and stylesheet database tables. I recovered them from the backup I made right before the upgrade (so they might be not up-to-date). And since I was already messing up with the design, I fixed more things I did not have time for before the crash.

As always, please let me know if anything is still broken or if you have suggestions to change/improve the layout, menu, etc.

The forum is not working for some reason. “White screen of death”. I suspect the Google SEO plugin and PluginLibrary. No errors in the error logs. Investigating…

Upgrading the operating system

Updated on May 01, 2012 @ 00:35:
OK, so this is what was done:
o- OS (kernel, applications, drivers, etc) is upgraded
o- reconfigured the Xen kernel loader, so a “non-standard” (not predefined by the hoster) kernel can be booted up
o- Apache (web-server) is upgraded
o- MySQL (the database) is upgraded
o- WordPress (blog software) is upgraded
o- MyBB is upgraded
o- MyBB extensions are upgraded (see more details in the forum news sub-forum)

Please let me know if something is broken.

The site will be down for a couple of hours for the OS upgrade.

The latest Chrome + AdBlock Plus breaks menus

The latest combination of Google Chrome and AdBlock Plus breaks the Smartmenus (see smartmenus.org). If you see that the design of the site is broken, whitelist likera.com in the ABP configuration. Or click on the ABP red icon (top right corder) and uncheck “Enable for this site”.

Unlike a similar extension Firefox, the one for Chrome does not show what it blocks, but most likely it’s the dynamic styles.
