I added a new section for articles as I felt it would be good to have it separate from the other sections. I already added one article there, a review of the new upcoming Cactus V4 wireless flash triggers that arrived yesterday.

I wrote an article on how to get started with microcontrollers (Atmel's AVR) and it is now published at Metku.net. It is available in English and Finnish, go ahead and check it out:

I started a picture-a-day project few days ago when the year changed. The goal is to take and upload atleast one photo per day for the whole year, so there should be 365 photos at the end of this year. Quite a challenge and there might be some days without photos but I'll try to keep them coming as much as possible. At the moment I'm uploading the project photos to Flickr, but later I'll make an own page for them here, under Photography. As weeks go by, I'll tag one photo of the week every week and photo of the month from them at the end of each month (and at the end of the year, the photo of the year).

Yet another year has passed and here comes a new one, say hello to 2009. Year 2008 was good, there were all kinds of photography assignments, including election candidate portraits, funerals, weddings, christenings etc. They were good practice and I learned much while doing them.

Couple of photographs were also wanted abroad, other one went to China and the other to USA. Both of the requests were nice surprises. I'll reveal the first one later when it is a more appropriate time for it and the second photo was Space Invaders wall decoration that went for the Microsoft Softwear campaign, cool.

And next, some statistics gathered over the past year:

I finally got the website up and running 13 May 2008 and since then there has been (at the time of writing this), 115608 pageloads and 18473 unique visitors. The day with most unique visitors and pageloads was 30 July with 4543 pageloads, 1668 unique visitors and 1629 of them were visiting the site for the first time. The month with most activity was September with 4973 unique visitors. The top five countries giving traffic were Finland, USA and Germany. Site has got visitors from all over the world and I'm very pleased. Firefox was the most used browser with percentage of around 71% and Internet Explorer came second with 16%.

Top 5 referring sites and pages:
» StumbleUpon - Review of one project
» Hack a Day: Shell case your flash drive
» martybugs.net - Review of Cactus Wireless Flash Trigger V2
» digicamera.net - Diginews marraskuu 2008 [in Finnish]
» Electronics-Lab.com Blog - Rotating LED display

Thanks to all the visitors so far. There will be all kind of projects coming during this year, stay tuned!
Below is one of the photos from the 2009 fireworks from couple hours ago, more can be found here.
