Just to let you know: number one searchword for ape13 is “sexy”. BAMM BAMM! I knew I am!

But frankly I think the reason is my merry xmas posting from December 2005. Anyway, another approval for “Sex sells”. This is why I added another sexy image and even named it “sexy.jpg”. I have it from phun.org by the way. A pretty funny (sometimes), pretty sexy (most times) site that has funny pics every wednesday.

There’s something new on ape13: the categories are named different! Woohoo. Well, just kidding. Actually yes, they are labeled different. But the new thing is “the apes things” - a new category in which I will give reviews about things I have or use. And there were quite some things lately I got new.

First posting is for my new car. I had a Toyota Corolla Verso now for almost three years. And I have to say, this car was close to perfect. I liked the design, it was economical, had lots of space and so on. Since we bought company cars I was looking for a new car. It was clear for me it will be something like a family van again. Since the Corolla Verso had no new release there were other cars, better equiped that got my interest. Last two in choice were Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Qashqai (official UK-Site). Several reasons brought me to the second one.

First of all: I am happy with my choice (what else would I say after one week?). The design of the car is a nice, it looks a littlebit offroad-style. The features are amply. I like the built-in Bluetooth hands-free set, the panorama glass cieling, the heated mirrors which you can tilt aside and so on. But best thing is the comfort. Sitting in the qasqai feels like sitting in an easy chair.

The not-so-good thing is space. The Corolla Verso had much more of it. I am not talking about space for passengers, I am talking about storage space. Only one glove locker (but this one is cooled down) and a “hidden” panel underneath the pillion. One more thing I liked better about the Corolla Verso was the second power supply. And I think it was not a good idea to fit in leather seats in the highest equipped version. I don’t like leather seats (they get way to hot in summer) and so I can’t have keyless system, lights in the passenger mirror and some other minor goodies.

All in all, the ape likes his new car!

Two weeks with a new post every day. I’m wondering how much longer I can keep this run. For today I have a new page on this website: the linklist.

I was actually looking for a plugin for this, but a quick research only gave me the opinion to do it in a simple page. Maybe somebody of you knows a good plugin, or I will write one on my own … if there wasn’t the time issue …

Anyway, check out the links, some are still be missing but it should be a good collection. Feel free to post new advices!

While searching for cool plugins for Wordpress I discovered fGallery, which is, as you can guess, a photogallery plugin. I already put it to ape some days ago, but I haven’t found the time to search through my pictures and find some for uploading.

Now I’ve created three galleries from my latest trips to Crete, the Loser (mountain in the Austrian Alps) and Croatia. When I find time I will add some more galleries, especially London and USA.

This weblog uses WordPress, and I am very satisfied with this tool. There is a huge amount of plugins, some of them great and useful, some of them not.

I spent some time looking for plugins I might use on this site and found some pretty good ones. Not all of them are already in use, but I tried out some. To help others finding cool plugins I started a list with links and a brief description. Right now there are only three of them, but the list is just about to be continued … soon … promised!

Plus: There were some minor design updates … I’m wondering if anybody realized … and I added a photopage with now one gallery, but more of this soon.
