What to add, change, improve on the site?

And another post asking for money opinion! (The first one was about my birthday).

What would you like to see new, changed, improved, removed, updated, redesigned on the site? The utter goal is to attract more visitors and to increase participation.

Does anybody want his/her own blog on this website? Free of charge, of course? Local social networking? What about a chat function? It can be a separate application or an integrated ICQ client. A on-line drawing tool/board (oekaki-like)? On-line games? Portal functions? A possibility to create groups/community? A separate photo/art sharing board? Add a Shop?

In the nearest future I would like to do the following:

Inflatable enema nozzles, Bardex, C. R. Bard, Inc and generic names

A week ago I received the following mail:

Our firm represents C , R. Bard, Inc. of Murray Hill, New Jersey, owner of the federally registered trademark BARDEX. The BARDEX trademark has been registered in the United States since 1951 in connection with various medical products, specifically urological catheters (US. Trademark Registration No. 543,922).

We learned of the improper and unauthorized use of our clients’ mark in connection with your website, likera.com. In particular, improper references to the BARDEX mark appear at the following URLs:

Facebook is down

Facebook is down since 20-30 minutes ago. That may affect performance worldwide. For example, the “Like” buttons are actually frames with content downloaded from Facebook. And since it’s down, such buttons will delay the page downloading.

Another side effect is Twitter, which is overloaded and even down in some countries. What a chain reaction…

I have updated my Contact page with a bunch of social nets I’m on. As you may have noticed, I’m experimenting with integrating them (you see the buttons underneath the posts, don’t you?) into the blog.

I have a related question. Do you find this stuff useful? Have you ever clicked on any of the buttons to “share” the content? Do you think it would be worthwhile to invest more efforts in this area (e.g. comments integration with Facebook)?

Any problems accessing the site?

Just seen in the news – there were two more massive DDoS attacks on LiveJournal – on Apr 04 and Apr 07.

LiveJournal slowdowns do closely correlate with the Free CDN performance issues. I disabled using the CDN – the attached images should download much faster now.

Bad performance. Indirectly affected by the DDoS attack?

The periodical outages, blackouts and slowdowns could be caused by the latest massive DDoS attack on WordPress.

On the bright side, in order to mitigate the performance issues I tweaked the design again what dramatically decreased the load time.

Or… Hmm… Was it only me who noticed all of that???

Crash happens…

The virtual server was down for several hours today. The reason is – the system refused to boot up. A ticket to the service providers plus chasing them plus some restoration work finally solved the issue.

Just for your information: I noticed that every day between 12:00 and 13:00 GMT the system is overloaded and refuses connections. I suspect that it’s caused by a host server backup or any other routine maintenance.
