Glancing at the stats

... published May 4, 2009

I know I have been lazy (read: busy) like hell with “Real Life” and I had to neglect my blog quite a bit, but I still keep an eye on my stats. Well, apparently I got recently (exactly on 2009-04-24) quite a peak from StumbleUpon:

I really need to get back to writing again, maybe I’ll get more visitors then ;)

and yes, I know, StumbleUpon is known to bring a huge peak and after that only some visitors. Still…

P.S.: Some friends of mine started a German website called Projekt Datenrettung (no frame version of Projekt Datenrettung).

Tagline found + new face created = more activity?

... published July 12, 2008

Tagline found + new face created = more activity?At least I hope so.

Well, let’s start at the beginning:
A couple of weeks ago I finally got time again to take care of my blog. I wrote a few articles and wondered how long I’ll stay active here again.

I believe by now I’m known among my blogging friends as someone who is active like hell and then suddenly vanishes for quite some time.

I thought about the reasons which made me “vanish” and that’s what made me find my very own tagline:

…when coding passion, gaming addiction, Internet surfing syndrome and the real life collide…

As I read that tagline a few times I figured that I can’t stick to my theme as it won’t fit anymore. Also, I’ll have to change a some things to make my blog work with the tagline. Continue…

Being alive part 2

... published June 27, 2008

I‘m slowly on my way back to be more active on my blog. However, before I can concentrate only on writing and replying to comments, I still have to do some minor updates and tweaking.

So far I finally got all plugins updated and even got the time to fix an issue with the menu on the right:
If you visited the “Tutorials” or “About Ruelicke.net” section of my blog, you may have noticed that the sub entries got messed up a bit. It is fixed now, but my “friend”, the Internet Explorer, messes it up now.
I’ll see if I can fix it, if not, you may look for an alternate browser ;)

I even got the time to finally align my Firefox advertisement properly at the bottom so it fits a bit better to the design than before.

It seems to me as I only have two or three things left which need my attention, then I can start blogging again. Two of those things are the Internet Exploder bug with the NicEdit WYSIWYG editor and the, currently missing, Gravatar avatars in the comments.

Enough for now :)

P.S.: I hope Germany wins the UEFA cup…

The heartbeat – A sign for being alive.

... published June 12, 2008

The heartbeat - A sign for being alive.It has been quite some time since my last post. About 3 month, if I’m not wrong.

A lot happened in the world since then. Quite a few updates were released for Wordpress and now I have to take care of getting up to date.

Also, my feed reader collected a few thousands of articles which I couldn’t read due to not having enough time. At least there is a button which marks them all read with one click ;)

So, what happened to me which prevented the posting of new articles or at least regular messages on twitter?
