Some thoughts on doing SEO reviews

de

Doing SEO (Search Engine Optimization) reviews requires I do a lot of thinking on a client’s web site; I look, analyze, take decisions; My focus is generally on what can be improved and, thus, I see a lot of negative things; how does this translate to real life? In real life I also tend to notice a lot of things, small details, unimportant stuff; I see a lot of negative things; yet I have the power not to act negatively, not to say bad words;

How to resist temptation? Two solutions – delayed gratification and distraction

de

Let’s say you want to resist doing something. How do you do that? According to a study nicely explained by Joachim de POSADA, the solution is quite simple: – Delayed gratification – think of the benefit you can get of resisting the urge to do that thing; – Distraction – focus your mind on something else, snap out of it. PS, 2018.08.03: some people, after finding out about the famous Stanford marshmallow experiment, suggested one shouldn’t eat the marshmallow at all. :)

How to watch movie trailers?

de

Hmmm, now that’s a dilemma – how to watch a movie trailer? My solution – don’t. On the positive side, what you’ll get is, at most: – Understanding the subject of the movie; – Seeing some special effects; – Getting an idea on what the most intense emotions in the movie are (if there’s laughter, you’ll probably be amused by the trailer; if it’s action, you’ll see some action). On the other hand, on the negative side, what you’ll lose is actually the very first thing you win: – Understanding the subject of the movie. I don’t want to know what the movie is about. Let me be surprised. Let me discover the movie. Sorry, no movie trailers fan in here. Coming back to the question in the title: “How to watch movie trailers?” Well, don’t. At all.

Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius – the Orthodox church I love the most

I’m an Orthodox Christian. I go to many churches, I don’t have the habit of going to one church only. Even in Năvodari, where are now three churches, I go to all three of them, although I do favor some. Well, this blog post is about the church I love the most – Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius.

Why do I like the Bucharest metro?

de

I like the Bucharest metro because: It’s one of the few places in Bucharest where I can exchange money; Somehow it manages to be clean (again, one of the few places where this happens); It’s safe – there are two guards in the modern train garnishes; It’s fast – for a direct route is probably the fastest way of traveling in Bucharest (yes, by car at night it may be faster, or via air, but other than that it’s not even close; on the other hand, if it’s not a direct route, it may take longer, and the station have a rather large distance from one to another); It’s reliable – very rarely do I hear (never happened to me) that the train stops for a longer time due to some technical problems.

Simple trick: how to browse through 100 photos in Facebook fast?

de

Today I want to share with you a simple Facebook trick – how to load 100 photos in Facebook fast? Let’s say you want to view an album with 100 photos. One option is going to the first photo, and then either clicking on Next or holding down the “right arrow” key. The problem with this solution is that each time you go to the next image, Facebook first tries to load the image, and it takes some time. There’s another solution, which I recommend. Go to the first photo, and keep the right arrow on the keyboard pressed. The images will flip very fast. In a few seconds, you’ll be back to the first photo. Now something little of a miracle happened – all the photos are in the browser’s memory and you can browse through the 100 photos much fast.
