Visitor Counter by Countries

So yeah, my little blog just hit the 3k visitors! How did THAT happen? Well, frankly I don’t know… so I found this quaint little gadget that tracks visitors from their home locations and adds them to a friendly counter showing their countries flag

So… yeah… that’s it. Just sharing the new gadget and adding a small post about it. Its also quite easy to use it and install it on your own blog. Just click on it and it will direct you to their homesite. Create your own display and copy the code in to a new text widget in your WP widget screen… save it, and off we go!! Uieee!!!

Hope to find interesting flags there soon enough !!!

The 8th Poltergeist

I like my real-life job.

Every now and so often things happen that shouldn’t happen. Sometimes its bad. Sometimes its good. Sometimes its really good. Other times… well, things just happen and a yelp of fear is suddenly taken by an immense curiosity for nature…

Avast Alien !!

Meet… oh wait.. haven’t named him… her… it…

Meet Alien! He just popped out, probably literally, after a very windy and spinny ride from God knows where in to our microscope field of view along with the rest of the expected inhabitants of that particular culture plate.

Eheh… it was fun. Not easy to use your cellphone to take pictures through a microscope btw (we should buy a camera thinking about that…hmmm….).

Oh well, I got to know it was a cousin of some arachnid… more precisely a species of mite. Now, they don’t like those room temperatures, and this one must had been having an hard time there too! Plus it was quite tiny, no bigger 0.05 mm wide… so… well… it was interesting.

Have I mentioned that I like my job?

Quite an exciting day today too. No actual new results… but fun and laid back eheheh

η σύγχυση των Ελλήνων

Hello. My name is Petros Miklos and I’m NOT greek.

.

Yes, I know the name sounds very greekish. Yes, I know Petros is a Greek name. Yes I also know what it means and I’m also aware of the subtle differences between the male and female versions of the name and them meaning something or thus being just a name… yep. Been told all about it.

This isn’t a complaint, nor a rant though. Just an explanation, since I keep getting asked over and over by every Greek that I encounter and isn’t afraid to IM me and ask. (And they have been more then a few, trust me…)

I actually got to know a couple of very nice Greek people this way, two or three even become friends of mine… sadly, I haven’t seen them in SL for quite sometime …

.

So… Why Petros Miklos ?

.

Well… I had to pick a name… and I didn’t wanted to use my RL name, so instead I went with the Greek version of it: Petros . With that taken care of, I only needed to find a surname that matched the first name… Miklos popped up and I just knew it was a perfect match

.

And – ta da – here I am, proudly being Petros Miklos, a non-Greek with a very Greek name

Any more questions?

Why was it a defining historical moment?

Why was it a defining historical moment for the USA?

Well, amongst other things I’m sure… and I also HOPE so… but the following cartoon is a good starting explanation to that question…
