I love Skype for all, but today Øyvind showed me a link to hidden Skype emotions.

For those who have Skype up and running now, try to use these in chat window:
(mooning) -> a man dropping his pants
(toivo) -> a man and his dog
(finger) -> flipping the bird
(kate) -> putting on lipstick
(bandit) -> a ninja looking emoticon
(headbang) or (banghead) -> smiley banging his head into a wall
(drunk) -> a drunk smiley
(rock) -> smiley making the rocker hand sign
(smoke) or (smoking) or (ci) -> smoking smiley

It was very nice to be in Kokkamokk cafe&bar yesterday evening and take part in Sukkerfest orginized by Sukker.no for its members. For me it was the first party of such kind here in Norway.

Nice environment, friendly crowd of people (as I know, there were about 500 people yesterday).

Guests started comming at 18:00 and each registered site members could be photographed there, so he/she would get the card with Top-18 matches later in the evening. Almost all evening I was sitting there and making pictures of people. Det var fint og veldig interessant. Then was salsa course, drinks and chips, talks and dances, and… you know :)

I have to note that the biggest problem for me was my missing norwegian språk. It was rather silly to forward all questions from people who asked me in norwegian to Mortens, because people couldn’t understand why I didn’t speak norwegian, but only english. Damn. Jeg vil lære norsk. :)

Finally I went home at 1 in the night, but the show was not ended yet…

After this party I have even more inspiration and desire to work on sukker.no web-site and do all my best to keep its visitors excited.

We have moved from Stavanger to Oslo last week and now I am starting to write a new series of my work related notes. I have permanent work contract in Warm Systems company and my project is sukker.no. Sukker.no - is a dating web-service which is rather popular in Norway. My work on this project includes (but not limited) web-development and consulting in all fields of web-site development where I feel confident (web-analitycs and marketing plan, social media promotion, new technologies, success-meters and product development).

Web-site which is working there now should have new features and be totally replaned to be able to expand and grow further. Meanwhile I am learning more about the dating market and doing small fixes for the site which is required to be done before we go further. Hopefully in a week I will finish them.

PS: I won’t write any sensitive information related with my work, but just write some facts and notes (hopefully somebody find them interesting). Feel free to ask me if smth comes. :)

Such a beautiful weather is here in Oslo! :)

Recently I have updated wordpress engine to 2.5.1 and noted that it is had a sad bug related to Gengo (multilanguage wordpress plugin) and widgets tab in the admin, so I can’t manage widgets unless developers release a bugfix.

Nevertheless the blog got significant raise of Alexa rating (the site’s place is 410119, so far). Google’s Pagerank has been recounted and homepage has gotten PR 3 today.

Looks like a very good result for 3 monthes old blog which has not been promoted on the web. :)

What I did to get such nice positions did not eat a lot of time at all. I write very seldom (unfortunately to me), but I made a really nice urls for each page (no dynamic urls at all), so search engines index the site rather deep.

I didn’t make any changes n the site since last message, because I don’t have time for it. Alexa rank is growing and now site is on 839835 place.

I won’t write so much about Alexa anymore, but I will try to write interesting stuff and links reviews.

UPD (04.02.2008): Alexa rank - 797007. All changes I make is just uploading new photos into gallery.
