New Photos • 30000 pageviews

NEWS

• Many things happened, lot of bad but also some good. I'll stop think about bad things, so here is one of the best which happened lately. My last HDR received 80 favs in one day. I've never dreamed that something like that could happen to me. I'm really very happy. Beside that, I turned 30000 pageviews, 10000 in 2 months. So I would like to thank you all for your support.

REFLECTIONS ABOUT VOTING

• Voting... I hate voting. Only few times people I voted for, won. Why? Is my taste so bad, am I not capable enough to see what is the best? I don't think so. I always voted for what I thought was the best. But people don't think and act the same. I was convinced many time. Most people always votes for friends thinking "If I vote for him/her now, he/she will vote for me next time". Why do they do that? I participate in many theme competitions. I won few times. But it's not about me. I saw many excellent themes that didn't win only because themer was new on that site or some other themer asked his/her friend to vote for him/her. What people get by that except false popularity? The same thing I saw here on dA. In one photo competition. The photo I voted for didn't win. Even it fits more than perfect. Why photo didn't win? The guy who tooked it was new here, with only few watchers in that time. But fortunately, it gets DD. And 10 times more favs. But the bad taste in the mouth remains.

LATEST THEME

• Until I make something new, let this theme be here. It fits, this is the last theme I made, anyway.

LATEST PHOTOS

• My latest photos were taken on Mirogoj, one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Europe

This week, my featured deviant is ~Anrold
He has really amazing IR (infrared) photos. I think he deserves more than 20 pageviews per day. Pls, take a look at his gallery, you won't regret

Stuff I faved recently. I hope you'll enjoy, I certainly do.

Thank you for all your favourites

Those are scripts I found very useful (only for Firefox users). I put only links with short description (taken from original description). Pls, take a look, you might find them useful too. All scripts are tested (I use them all and can't live without them anymore) and work with Firefox 3.0.1.

SpamLinkDetector (made by =diado) - Quick little script to remove the recent spam links that have been circulating from dA pages. Links found to point to the dodgy login page, or other links circulated by it are removed and replaced with non-clickable text explaining that there was a spam link.

Thumber (made by =diado) - Thumber allows easy access to the 'thumb codes' for all deviations on a deviantArt page simply by clicking the Thumber link in the dA toolbar next to the Logout link.

deviantPLUSv3.0 (made by `Zikes) - deviantPLUS is a custom user script written in javascript. It runs each time you visit deviantART and attaches a toolbar to comments, journals, forums, notes, shoutboards, deviation descriptions, and pretty much anywhere else you can type on dA. The toolbar has buttons for things such bolding, italicizing, underlining, hyperlinking, etc.

Deviant Statistics (made by =falexx) - This script allows you to switch between the normal information about a Deviant and some extra statistics.

Which GM are you? (made by =Solitude12) - This script shows you which gallery a gallery moderator moderates on their page. It comes in handy when you randomly find a person with a hat (^) and don't want to go find some list to look up their info. The list of all moderators you can find here

Artists category list (made by `thespook) - Always kinda bugged me that those links up there pointed to all of deviantart rather than the artist's gallery. This is a quick script to add such links, fixed for compatibility with deviantART's new deviation URLs.

Thumbsshare Timer (made by `realillusions) - This script appends a 5 minute timer to the iconbar in #Thumbbshare to allow you to know how long until you can post again. It starts as soon as you join the room, and can be reset by clicking on it.

ForumExtender made by =diado) - ForumExtender adds common forum functionality to the deviantART forums allowing better forum thread navigation. This is done by adding additional links within the thread listing to each thread's last page, adding links to the thread's first and last pages within the thread itself, and duplicating the thread navigation at the top of each thread's page.

You really deserve that many pageviews and your newest submission is awesome

Also, about the votes. People will always have different opinions. Things can only be beautiful if someone says it's beautiful and everything is beautiful as well as ugly at the same time, depending on the observer

Thank you so much for your words

I'm so happy you dropped by

I agree with you about opinion. But people are very subjective. They don't look for quality, only for good looking. Or vote for friend. If you ever watched Eurosong, you'll understand what I mean (about voting for friends/neighbor)

I don't understand why are you humbled, or I know the wrong meaning of that word. Your art is fantastic, you know how to ordinary and small things make interesting and amazing

Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving a comment. I really much appreciate it

I'm fine, thanks for asking

And I hope you're doing well too.
Have a lovely night

80 favs in a day are well deserved, and a tribute to a great image!

As to the voting issue; you have my complete agreement. Sadly many people does not vote for the most accomplished or "best", but for what (or who) they know.

Congratulations with the pageviews, they're well deserved, too!

_{And thanks for the great collection of scripts. Very useful!}
