Written by Alfonso Muñoz on June 18, 2008 – 10:19 am

Ok, ok! Please, John, don’t get angry with me. I don’t know if he likes my blog or not but I can assure John Chow was here. Look at this in the upper left corner, who is there?

John Chow likes Binary Ant

Yeah! This proves he was here. I’m glad to see it. I have been reader of his blog for a year and I’m quite proud of the fact that he has spent some minutes in visiting my blog. I only wanted to share this with all my readers.

Binary Ant’s WorkSpace

Written by Alfonso Muñoz on June 15, 2008 – 8:09 am

Some days ago I gave you Tips For An Optimal Workspace. I thought I could show you where I spend most of my blogging time. This is my workspace:

Binary Ant\'s workspace

As you can see I use a comfortable office chair and two 20″ monitors. Perhaps in the picture they seem to be smaller but it is because the chair is quite big. Also I have a window beside me, I like the sunlight very much but when the night comes I have an halogen lamp on my desk. I have the computer connected to my hi-fi system and to three other speakers so I have 5 speakers in total.

Here is a picture of one of my monitors with one of the very firsts themes I used, a free theme. This is before I started to design my own themes, and beside it I have the source code:

Surely you saw the web cam over the monitor. I usually make videoconferencing, it is faster than MSN or any other kind of chat.

This is all :) , I hope you liked it. In order you make a good work you need to set a comfortable workspace. I’m sure you have very good ones.

A Very Long Weekend

Written by Alfonso Muñoz on June 9, 2008 – 2:24 am

Hi everybody! :) just a few words early in the morning from the office, by the way the Internet connection is a bit crappy at this moment. These past days I was a little lazy, I don’t write since last Thursday. Some people tells about they sometimes run out of ideas to blog, I can’t imagine that, I always have ideas! but sometimes I tend to procrastinate… This last weekend I did a lot of typical weekend things and I didn’t touch any electronic device except for my iPod.

I was afraid of find some spammy comments on the blog but fortunately Akismet worked perfectly. Today I found that Alexia rank has improved to 578.447 and for first time I see an small graph in the Alexia toolbar for Binary Ant:

My Spanish blog ranks 296.942 but doesn’t have graph.

Another thing. The contest for the 300 Entrecard credits is over. KushMoney is the winner (300EC) and Michael Aulia is in second place (150EC). I’ll give them the prizes later, I’m a bit busy at work so it is time to end writing this post. I’m thankful to all the participants.

Entrecard On Fire

Written by Alfonso Muñoz on June 1, 2008 – 4:44 pm

At this time I think you have noticed this news because it happened hours ago. Because I live in Spain I can be informed earlier than people from United States. Take in count that I’m 6-9 hours ahead. This morning I was going to review an advert awaiting for my approval when I got surprised with this incredible message:

There was a fire at our datacenter resulting in the failure of some of our systems, our database server appears to be offline still, we’re working on it and we’re really sorry about the issues at this time. more information arriving shortly.

Update: The outage is pretty serious, you can read more about the datacenter fire at ThePlanet forums. They’ve got teams of people there and they’re working through the night. We have no ETA at this time, very sorry.

Well, it seems that Entrecard has some serious problems. I hope they solve it soon, I like this kind of traffic building.
