My last post for today....

Well people
This is my last post today for this Nvidia-SLI blogg. What can I say? One thing for start this last month has really been an adventure for me. I won't bother you with everything what's on my mind. Just a few thoughts.

Slizone has really been an one-in-all place about everything regarding SLI. This blogg has really been a small piece of information and news from other tech sites around the web. For example I covered some topics on new graphic cards, motherboards or Memory on my blogg. While Slizone has really all the components on their site with detailed specifications (PSUs, computer cases, etc..) I didn't wanted to include much articles from Slizone, I think it makes no sense to do so, since other bloggers have quoted enough articles from this place. I just thought this competition will be more interesting if I look at the articles from various tech-sites.

I must say that I'm more or less proud of my blogg! God knows that it's definitely not perfect. I could not format some elements on front of my blogg!Sometimes I've really went mad about it! I just wanted to quit since I couldn't do what I wanted. It's like I wanted format the text in wordperfect:-) I've succesfully changed the font and size of the text. When I saw the preview everything looked fine. But when I've published the article on the web,the text was 0,01 cm big! I could not believe it, so I last 30% of my time arranging the articles to look o.k.If you look at labels from the right side (where I've putted links on graphic cards and motherboards - and complete system solutions), every 4,5 entry is in different colour!!! I really don't know how did this blogg service created it in different colours. It doesn't have anywhere an optionto manage colour of the links. Well that's another bug I've found. So instead to focus on finding new articles, I've last significant amount of time on fixing paragraphs and fonts.One thing is for sure, I will NEVER use this blogg service ever again! I'll find some other. It's my first blogg web page ever, and I must say I've never created a web page. That's why my blogg doesn't look like professionally. Not to mention the labels, cause on my page I have 'SLI power supplies' 5 posts, but when you click on that Label, it will show you SLI PSU's sectionwith 7 articles on it!! This blogg must have more bugs then windows 98 :-)

The other thing that I'm proud of is the fact that half of the posted bloggs were written while I was on work (luckily we have ADSL) and was able to quickly post the news on my blogg with pictures. The sad news is that the other half of my bloggs were posted while I was at home, on my 56Kbit modem!! And it was really a pain in the neck. I've spent so much time uploading the pictures.... really was frustrated with it.But hey, I survived it so...

Two things did bother me about this blogg contests that really bothered me.

1. I noticed that some people didn't behave fair. I ALWAYS wanted to be a fair contest, and may the best man win. So when I saw some news on SLI around the web, and if I
saw other bloggers to have posted the same news, I decided not to post them! I think it makes sense, since people could make their own blogg by just copy/pasting other peoples bloggs, and win this contest. I'm just sorry that people are ready to do everything to make their blogg as informative as others. It's just sad. Example, yesterday I saw that - well I won't mention any names - lets just call him 'person from Singapore' posted an article Overclocked XFX GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS XXX from hwupgrade.com. That's the very same news I've posted a couple of days ago. Just this blogger decided to post he article under different name :-) I just hope that the crew from Slizone or Vr-zone (whoever is in charge of announcing the winner of this contest) will have this in mind. And you can clearly see who saw the news first (all bloggs have the correct date and time when the blogg was posted on the web).

2. One thing I also noticed (and have posted on the vr-forums about it, but it seems that nobody cared about it :-( is that people have start to post topics that have nothing to do with SLI! The rules of this contest were crystal clear(to start a blogg with primary focus on Nvidia SLI). There isn't much sense to post news about Ati, Amd, Intel on this blogg, right? Well atleast that's my opinion.
That's all from me for now Bye
