I stumbled across TimeTicker which displays the exact time of the world in the different time zones. It’s great when you want to call someone who doesn’t live in the same country as you do. This way you’re sure that you don’t wake anybody up!

This morning when I looked on my blog I saw that my Ranking wasn’t “correct”. Yesterday it displayed a ranking of 771,040 but today suddenly it showed a ranking of 930,915! I didn’t understand the difference and wanted to know what the hell it was going on…So when I clicked on my Alexa widget it became clearly that Alexa has a new ranking system! Why??

Some time ago I wrote a post titled “Recycle as much as you want“. Nicole from Nicoleb.org though that the post was about environment and recycling, which obviously wasn’t. But her comment got me thinking to write an article about the environment and recycling.

Since a couple of months I’ve problems with the server of Bioteck.net. Lately it’s hard to reach, it’s slow and it’s down more often! Just like yesterday!
