Going Live

It happened! Ladies and gentlemen, we are live! All the (necessary) ports are opened. Domozină, m-auzi?1

So, I gathered all my courage and I pressed the button. Between us, there were a lot of buttons to push in order to make the change, but it sounds more literary this way. A high stake and a smart villain would have been nice too, but more on this subject in a future series.

While I was adding articles to the site, I saw that the latest ones were shown first. Not good. At least in this moment, I see my blog as a collection of series, which means older posts should be displayed first (FIFO). Seeing the last episode of Games of Thrones before the one where “the winter is coming”, would be less entertaining to say the least. But WordPress didn’t get the memo, so by default it displays the latest articles first.

I found how to change this behavior here:

Long story short, I installed a plugin – Code Snippets – and I added copy-and-paste a piece of code.

It’s an interesting feeling. Suddenly, I feel the urge to finish it. Next post is going to be about planning and priorities.

Fun fact

Domozină, can you hear me? That’s something a Romanian might say when checking a possible unreliable communication channel; most probable, a landline phone.

Sebastian Domozină was a well-known sports commentator renowned for his unique style and his fast-paced commentaries. During the communist era, electronic equipment used by the state-owned radio service was not of the best quality. Sometimes it stopped working right in a middle of a hot moment. Imagine the commentator speaking faster and faster, the tension building up to the high heavens, then… nothing. Just silence. After a second or two, the unsure voice of the guy from the studio would be heard: Domozină, can you hear me?
