Stefan Isarie

As you probably know already, I am Stefan Isarie, the owner, the author and the initiator of this website. I live in Iasi, Romania (this is in Europe, you know…).

This website is:

  • a design exercise for myself (the website is permanently changing, evolving, both in design and features)
  • a way to promote my work
  • a way to search for my abroad relatives
  • a way to interact to new people
  • a method of sharing web development experiments and exercises

Amalia Teodora

I am the proud and lovely father of Amalia Teodora, born on March 12, 2008.

Technologies

Isarie’s is powered by WordPress 2.0.

Only one post is specially designed, the other posts being strictly managed by WordPress.

Help

Theme of isarie.com is designed by me in 2006. Seems a litte outdated as the current design trends are heading in other ways and my design doesn’t conform to this new trends, but for now it works… can’t find time to update it.

Photos

Currently, I’m using a Canon A570IS to take pictures, but I used a Canon A60 in the past. I think I will stick with this brand for a long time as I’m quite satisfied with the quality of the pictures.

Thank you!

I would like to thank to my wife Mihaela for being so patiently with me and for supporting me in everything I do!

English

I know my English is far for being impressive, but I’m trying to do my best. Please accept my appologizes if you find the paragraphs in this website not worthy to be written in English. I’ve chosen English as primary language of this website because almost all of my cyberfriends do speak this language and it is a good opportunity for me to permanently exercise this language :)

Car

I own a Kia Cee’d from February 2008, a car I’m very excited of. Sport behavior, very comfortable, wide spaces, nice color [ Piston Grey ]… but so poor service from Klado Motors Iasi.

Amalia Teodora Birthday!

Today, my beautiful and lovely wife Mihaela, aka Mi, gave birth to Amalia Teodora at 08:15 AM, Romanian time! A few numbers related to Amalia:

  • weight: 3.5 kg
  • height: 53 cm
  • birth note: 10

Both Mi and Amalia are ok. Mi will have to take little steps to recover from the cesarian intervention but with my help and my love, she will be fine, I’m sure.

The feeling seeing my baby girl was… overwhelming! Suddenly, everything in my life became so worthless, so blurred! For a few seconds I had no past, no present and no future! It is an amazing feeling I’m guessing each dad is trying when first seeing his baby! I felt like I have to surround both Mi and Amalia with my love and my care, to give them all the best I possible can.

I am so, so happy I can’t describe it!

See her on YouTube [ embending it here causes the layout to break ]!


Internet Explorer… 8! Oh, not again!

It seems MSFT is cooking the next release of IE8, beta version being available here! For all the developers out there this is not more but another headache. It means we will all need to test our websites on:

  • IE6
  • IE7
  • IE8
  • FF
  • Safari
  • Opera

The first three of the above browsers are the worst to make them render correctly a standard compliant code… Yet, MSFT is about to release more headache for us…

This is the worst part on being a client-side developer… You have to make all the browsers render the same way the same HTML/CSS code. But… how can you make a deaf hear or a blind see?


presidency.ro

Why a domain name “presidency.ro” when:

  • we live in Romania
  • the site is for Romanians [ at least intended ]
  • “The English version of the website is not available for the moment.”

Wouldn’t be more logic to have a site called “presedinte.ro” because:

  • we live in Romania
  • the site is for Romanians [ at least intended ]
