Quick Flickr Widget: Empowered by Thickbox
Finally, version 1.2.4 is public! Can you belive this? I managed to get Thickbox running with the widget! No, it wasn’t that difficult at all.

Blog Redesigned: Hi, This is the New Me!

I started sketching like a week ago in Corel PaintShop Pro X2 (btw I don’t like to do Photoshop ’cause I’ve been using PaintShop Pro for around 6 years and got pretty much used to it. Looking forward to Adobe...
Working in Web 2.0
Somebody on Twitter yesterday posted a link to UADDit with photos of workplaces in web 2.0 companies, such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Last.fm, Mozilla and others. I just couldn’t resist, so here they are:
The last.fm pictures are my favourite! The original post is at uaddit.com discussions.
I Got my Flickr Account!
Yeah, I finally got my Flickr account and would like to share my photostream with everyone, so if you’re interested feel free to add me to your contact list: flickr.com/people/kovshenin. By the way, I haven’t got a camera – I use my cellphone to take pictures so the quality isn’t very good, sorry. Anyways, I’ve found a great way to upload images directy to Flickr...
