Dive Into My Blogging Adventure: Skinny-Dipping in the Digital Ocean.

 

Jumping into the blogging game has felt like skinny-dipping in the open ocean – exhilarating and terrifying. Here I am, tossing my thoughts, hopes, and the occasional tantrum into the vast abyss of the internet, wearing nothing but my vulnerability. There’s a quirky kind of satisfaction in hitting “publish” on a post, akin to scribbling secrets into my journal, only this time, I’m whispering them into the ear of the cosmos: just me, 5 curious clickers, and the universe piecing together the puzzle of my mind.… Read More. “Dive Into My Blogging Adventure: Skinny-Dipping in the Digital Ocean.”

It’s always raining

 

The clouds have conspired, a dastardly plot,
To shower us daily, without a spot,
They open their floodgates, pour down with glee,
As we scramble for shelter, our clothes dripping free.

Umbrellas and raincoats, our constant companions,
Protecting us from the watery avalanche,

Leaving us soaked, from head to shoe.… Read More. “It’s always raining”

The Rocky Road of Mainstream WordPress Plugins

What happened?

I dared venture into the wild, wacky world of WordPress plugins, only to find myself tangled in the vines of frustration.

Emily and the menacing message.

The night hung heavy around me as I sat in my dimly lit office, the only illumination emanating from the restless glow of my smartphone. Its screen flickered with a relentless stream of notifications, each one more invasive than the last. Taking a drag from my cigarette, I struggled to focus on the task at hand, but the ceaseless buzzing and beeping of the phone was pushing me to the edge of sanity.… Read More. “Emily and the menacing message.”

Serbian coffee. Greek coffee. Bosnian coffee. Turkish coffee.

Before Yugoslavia fell apart and the situation in the Balkans worsened, the coffee was called “Turkish coffee.”

On a side note, like in Italy, there is a way to order a cup in Serbia if you want to pretend you’re a local: “Oj majstore, daj dve Turske, molim te”. Or even better, “Dve Turske, molim te” if you order before being asked.

Sharing bookmarks

Managing a reasonable number of bookmarks is OK with browser favorites. However, it can become overwhelming once you start using them for research, as a reference, or for creating a helpful knowledge base.
