On cycle superhighways and shining wisdom of TfL

By sigizmund On March 17, 2010 · 3481 Commenthttp%3A%2F%2Fsigizmund.com%2Fon-cycle-superhighways-and-shining-wisdom-of-tfl%2FOn+cycle+superhighways+and+shining+wisdom+of+TfL2010-03-17+15%3A52%3A07sigizmundhttp%3A%2F%2Fsigizmund.com%2F2010%2F03%2F17%2Fon-cycle-superhighways-and-shining-wisdom-of-tfl%2F

Cycling along CycleStreets.net

By sigizmund On March 16, 2010 · 343Leave a Commenthttp%3A%2F%2Fsigizmund.com%2Fcycling-along-cyclestreets-net%2FCycling+along+CycleStreets.net2010-03-16+19%3A53%3A34sigizmundhttp%3A%2F%2Fsigizmund.com%2F2010%2F03%2F16%2Fcycling-along-cyclestreets-net%2F

Shortly — it works.

Perhaps, I’m not an only one who uses WordPress as a blogging platform of my choice — surely it’s my domain and my hosting, but still. Recently I’ve discovered very neat and nice way of backing up your entire blog, which can be described in a few simple steps:

Go to wordpress.com and create [...]

Here’s a #wherecampeu schedule for Friday. Looks simple, huh?

And here’s a classic blackmail photo — Holger @HD42 Dürer betrays Linux (which is apparently not able to cope with such a thing as a wireless network) and uses MacBook

Few more photographs after the break with a free bonus: [...]

Heavily tuned uTheme by CSS WITH COLOUR is uploaded, and the blog looks pretty much the way it supposed to. Last step is yet to be done — will need to change DNS for sigizmund.com and update the address.
