Annoying bug in Blogger: a work-around

Blogger is going down

Blogger has failed to fix the annoying bug in their search function that rendered our country selection non-functional. This unfortunate condition began in July 2009. As a workaround we rebuilt the country selection using labels. The solution is far from elegant but appears to function properly.

This reminds us a bit of what happened with Sony Imagestation. First they stopped fixing critical bugs and a few months later they announced running their service down. So, we are open to suggestions about other web logging platforms to replace Google’s Blogger. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank your for you understanding and tips.

Happy travels,

Päivi & Santeri

Tips for Travelling and Surviving in the Balkans as a Vegan

Eating in local restaurants in the Balkans can be a bore as there are only a couple of vegan options available: mixed salad, french fries and Italian pasta with aglio and olio. Even rice is often cooked in broth. However, there is fresh produce available almost throughout the year, from early spring to late fall. Strawberries, cherries, apricots, nectarines, peaches, apples, pears, and plums abound, and vegetables are tasty. Beans and lentils are also part of local diet as well as walnuts and hazelnuts.

Statistics has always been Päivi's Achilles' heel. She has been struggling even with the most basic formulas and calculations mixing up averages, medians, and probabilities.

Her first PhD was on Finnishness (Tampere University, Finland) and the second on Global Nomads (Tilburg University, Netherlands) . The newest thesis is on Qualitative Statistics, which is a new, emerging research area thanks to the booming Artificial Intelligence research.

We wanted to escape the high season in the coastal Mediterranean Balkan states and so were asking around for suggestions where to go. Upon this mission, we got into contact with Portuguese Vicente on BeWelcome hospitality exchange , and got interested in the place where he had been staying on and off for some years. The place is Kalna in Stara Planina Mountains that run from Serbia to Bulgaria.
