The painting of the Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli is located in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence.
The goddess Venus, naked on a shell, it rises from the foam of the sea and is driven and heated by the breath of Zephyr…
I really love this painting, the composition…it’s one of my favorites
Sandro Botticelli, his real name was Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi (lived in Florence, between March 1, 1445 – , May 17, 1510) was an Italian painter.
Is interesting how strong brands take inspiration from this wonderful paintings like venere.com

I love Romania! Why? Because is my country, that’s why. Because is beautiful and unique, with more then 2000 years of history,(my ancestors are Burebista and Decebal-”The Brave One” king of Dacia- you can find his face on Trajan’s Column in Rome )

Why so much bad and free publicity

Take a look of this slide to understand that Romania isn’t only “grey sky”, but very blue…

Discover the unseen Romania

There are some young people like me , maybe like you, trying to show the world the unseen Romania. It’s not a difficult job to do that, you must be an open mind and look for the treasures hidden in this interesting country.

Unseen Romania

Ho can we improve the speed loading of our websites?

Recently I’ve read a book: High Performance Web Sites written by Steve Souders (Chief Performance Yahoo).

After reading this book I’ve apply some optimizations for the improvement of the download speed  in different browser. One in particular i want to talk about is reducing the http requests by using one simple css image (css sprite) for the the entire  layout (if simple one). Normally the browser can do a limited numbers of http request at the time , some 4 some 8 some more, depends on the browser and browser version. If i have one big image for the layout, i will have only one http request instead of 20 or more. Another thing that I’ve notice  is that 20 small .gif or .png images weighs more (3-4 times more) than the single big image so in terms of band usage you will gain also. When you do such a simple optimization the benefits are a lot, because you live space for http requests for other elements that need to be downloaded such javascripts, html or others.

I’ve created a layout using a css sprite image here Chamonix Guide and the image is this one

To test your site and see ho many http request are made on the page load you can use yslow
