In the latest Macworld there is an excellent article comparing thesa two applications.
And yes, Fusion won. Like I felt it, but for other reasons than mine.
I bought Parallels recently to make my Bootcamp accessible without rebooting.
Why Parallels and why I think I have made a mistake.
Huge surprise - there is no such app in appstore.
There are some time tellers, but they are telling time once in quarter of an hour or even more seldom.
I looked for any app, not caring about price. None for the purpose.
On my way to bus I need an app that tells time in every 5min or more often.
It would be nice if that app did that just when I am running to a bus, not all the time. It would be better just start on the rigt time, announce the time and quit...
Here you are! A good app idea for free ;)
An free example I found in appstore. Useless for my purpose, but it shows that an app announcing time is possible.
Izskatās, ka man ir izdevies kļūt par svētdienas blogotāju. Visbiežāk kaut ko uzrakstu tieši svētdienās.
Cēloņi tam ir pašsaprotami. Darbdienās nav laika. Sestdienās gribas vienkārši atpūsties. Tomēr nereti arī sestdienās nākas kaut kur braukt vai kaut ko darīt.
Ja atrodas brīva nedēļas nogale, tad svētdien pret dienas vidu jau sāk gribēties kaut ko uzrakstīt vai citādi interesantu darīt...
Why have not I blogged for a while? Do I have nothing to say? Have not red anything? Of course, no. This is not the case!
Then why to have a long time off blogging?
Yes, a lot of other things to do. And even beeing online almost all the time. And even publishing and noting things.
Why not here? -Shortly, because blogger.com takes to much time to communicate a thought. And putting the thought in the right format takes to long. Why not blogger.com, there are even features of posting from e-mail or mobile phone (not mention I own an iPhone 3G)? The main reason still is the very old one: I am writing very much slower than I am thinking. I have no idea, what to do to improve this. Would you like audio blog entries more than none at all? - I am not sure about that. I have been thinking about technical means, like an app (or a nice old program for my Mac) which could turn spoken text into writing. There are some quite good programs in English, but none in my native Latvian. And... those damn things still are not able to put references to web pages and even HTML tags into dictated text! Is there anything better in referencing even a whole site than Evernote? That was about blogging as an old and dying way of communication... But a short time ago there was a success and unsucces list of web sites in TIME tweets. Who still reads TIME? - No one, of course. At least no one is going to admit that. But there was a good idea to think about: they wrote that blogger.com is not popular anymore, that all cool kids move to Tumblr and one more site lv "new media specialist" @arturs advertised. I am to lazy to look for refrences, sorry. Or, to be precise, I could not find them on my Mac for 10 minutes I tried to. So you can take my word on it or just forget it. Assuming that about blogger.com getting less popular and cool kids moving (or starting) their blogs on other sites. Why do they do so? What do those sites have, that blogger.com has not? Exept inability to log in with a Gmail account? I wrote such a long story just trying out OmmWriter.
See my tweets on the left side? Almost every day. Some days tens of tweets.
Evernote. A lot of notes. I even partially keep work related notes there (not published, as you might guess).
It requires, a little, but still requires HTML. Is it hard? -No. Do I have Typinator to write the tags for me? -Yes. It still takes to much time and.... yes, my own writing, to post something not fully copy-pasted or linked from somewhere.
It takes too much effort to quote a web page or two!
In Twitter or Evernote its just a click. And a little of typing just to add my comment.
Is there a tool which might help to write a short blogger.com entry as fast as a tweet in Tweetie?
Is there any fastest way to publish some pictures than Picasa or Flickr?
1) They are better looging.
2) Easier to learn and to set up a blog. To get at least some features on a blog here you need to modify template. Thats a hard, time consuming work, that will better pay off in Wordpress.
3) They are just better looking and easier to post. Maybe even have their own tools or apps.
Thought of moving my blog away grom blogger.com got stronger and I will consider it as a serious option, because I dont need a dead blog. I have a lot to post. FAST!!!
P.S. Edited this entry. Why? Wrote it (with all HTML tags) in OmmWriter and the emailed to this blog... and got HTML tags written, encided and displayed wrong. Of course I am pissed to work in this terrible blogger.com editor. Why? It has a lot of features, who do not I like it? Because it is ugly and hard to use!
P.P.S. More deleting. Adding tags. Even more pissed... Desperate not to come back here.
P.P.P.S. I needed to edit once more. Now I am sure about the ansver of the topic. I do not like to post here. Too much time and effort for a little nice thought. And posting took twice more time than writing the story!
AND FUCKING SPANNING (displaying the full story after link in the end) IS STILL NOT WORKING. I am done. And gone. Soon there will be a post where to find my blog I like to write!!!
iPhone 4 apspriešanas karstumā sāku atcerēties, ka ziemā redzēju iPhone 3GS pārdošanā kādas (metro) stacijas tunelī. Un labu laiku mēģināju atcerēties, kurā stacijā tas bija. Pēc ilgām pūlēm atcerējos, ka Diseldorfā pie Timberland veikala. Atmiņas process šajā rakstā. Tas tunelis man šad tad ir bijis kā acu priekšā un ka tik ne sapņos rādījies. Laikam būs atstājis ievērojamāku iespaidu kā varētu gaidīt no metro tuneļa Diseldorfas centrā, pa kuru kāpām ārā gandrīz katrreiz, kad no viesnīcas, kas nebija centrā, devāmies uz veikalu ielām.
Atmiņas tirdīšana sākās šodien, lasot diskusijas par iPhone 4 un kad tas varētu būt LV, piemēram, http://ej.uz/8m4, un atceroties Steve Jobs prezentācijā minēto, ka Vācijā un Somijā, kuras tā kā grasos apmeklēt atkal, iPhone 4 būs jau no jūlija. Tad sāku domāt par to vai būs ar obligātu ilgtermiņa līgumu, vai tomēr būs pieejami arī dārgāk, bet bez. Tāda opcija man ļautu nopirkt iPhone 4 jau jūlijā.
Tad arī atcerējos to tuneli, kurā bija kiosks. Kioskā tika tirgoti iPhone 3GS un 3G ar un bez pieslēgumiem par dažādām cenām, bet labākais 3GS bez līguma bija par 999EUR. Biju Diseldorfā 2009. gada decembrī. Vairākas dienas. Iepirkāmies, pārvietojāmies ar metro. iPhone 3GS tika izsludināts kaut kad pērnajā vasarā (tagad ir 2010. gada vasara). Kiosks un tunelis acu priekšā, bet nomocījos atceroties, kad un kurā pilsētā tie bija.
Atcerējos, izmocot no sevis arvien vairāk no tuneļa apkārtnes. Ieeja Zsv tirdziņā, Timberland veikals. Centrs. Pie kanāla vai kas tas par ūdens veidojumu iet pa Diseldorfas centru. Tagad man stāv priekšā izaicinājums, ņemot palīgā metro karti (1 vai 2 pieturas no centrālās stacijas un apmēram atceros virzienu) un to, ka tieši pie Timberland veikala mēģināšu atrast stacijas nosaukumu, jo nu jau tas mani nopietni intriģē. Vizuāli atceros visu apkārtni, bet pagaidām nevienu nosaukumu. Veikalu iela ar kanālu, ka tik ne Kaisers kaut kas, bet neatceros.
Tagad 2010.06.10 01:25. Eju meklēt.
2010.06.10 01:32 Turu aizdomās Heinrich-Heine-Allee pēc Google maps. Pie parka un pie vecpilsētas, tuvākā, braucot pār upi no viesnīcas, 2 tramvaju plūsmas saplūst u.c. ticamas pazīmes. Jāprecizē, kur ir Timberland veikals un tad būs 100% pārliecība.
2010.06.10 01:42 Pagāja brīdis līdz pēc nejēdzīgas izrakāšanās pa globālo Timberland lapu (com), nonācu http://www.timberland.de/locator.php, kur, izvēloties no saraksta Düsseldorf, nav vairs nekādu šaubu.
Pareizā atbilde ir Heinrich-Heine-Allee metro stacijas tunelis ir tas tunelis, kas ļoti ieperinājies manā atmiņā.
Laikam jāņem atpakaļ teksts, ka Diseldorfā jau īsti nav, ko redzēt. Ir.
Heinrich-Heine-Allee, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany jeb U-bahnhof.
Manis apcerētā tuneļa galā uz leju bija kādā šāda pietura: http://ej.uz/9xb.
Joprojām brīnos par to kā pēc pus gada ļoti maz ko atceros no ceļojuma. Vilšanās sevī.
Prieks par internetu un spēju tajā atrast vietu un pierādījumus, ka tā ko vizuāli ļoti atceros, ir pareizā vieta.
Today I saw a 500 EUR bill again. No, no, dont heat up, I dont have it. Just saw it in the bank. It reminded me running around Amsterdam for some days trying to spend it...
Hotel bill was more than 400, but no, they rejected the 500 EUR bill. No shop took it. They told to go to a bank and change it to some smaller bills, but banks (I think it was Rabobank) have very short working hours. The bank was open until 5pm. I came a little bit after 4pm. And no, I could not change the 500EUR bill. They do not wor with the cash after 4pm. WTF? How could I know that?!
I took that 500 EUR bill back to Riga. Thank my "paranoia" for having some more cash and a credit card.
That might be a detour hard to complete after 4pm. Everyone would take a detour of spending a 500EUR bill in Amsterdam. How hard could that be? Very hard... It seems a very easy task: you have a 500EUR bill and need to buy something for about a hundred in a small family owned shop. Its not.
Racers will be forced to do other side of the detour or wait until 9am, when banks open up, to exchange the damn 500EUR bill. If that assignment is a Road Block then thats even trickier.
At the begining I thought that i like US version more. Nicer and longer... and the first 4 me...
British is more realistic. The accountant who overdosed really died, not waking up from koma :) Music is better in the british, too, - Placebo, ABBA, Blur, Natalia Imbruglia ...things I know. London & UK I've been some times. I dont know why in a hell I like the sweet, silly US version more. UK version is better in any logical aspect, but its more boring, too. My English has got more american - US EN is easier to understand than brittish, even british is closer to written: u=u, no t u=a etc.
Oh and in UK lesbians are real lesbians - not breaking up and not trying to marry a guy who needs a citizenship :) Ohhh, here I was wrong - in episode 6 the lucky mother is getting married to black immigrant :D
smēkētājas vs. ?
Maybe... Gan jau ka muļķības apaļas, bet secinājums iz praktiskās statistikas: smēķētājas ir vieglprātīgākas. Vieglāk... nu jā... tas būtu pluss, BET neprivatizējamas, nereti komplektā nāk robi izglītībā, veselības problēmas (tieši ar smēķēšanu nesaistītas, drīzāk ar vieglprātību), varbūt aplama tā statistika vai just a sick luck, bet karjeristes starp smēķētājām nevienas. Kāpēc ne nesmēķētājas? Egoistiskas dabiskas maitas... Ko nu? Kā egocentriska nedabiska ne-maita turpināšu garlaikoties...

| Atceros savulaik, kādā sarunā par iespējām matemātiski analizēt Meistaru un Margaritu nodomāju, ka Skolotājs to vnk nav lasījis, ja nezina, kas ir Volands. Laikam jau nav arī, jo, ja man to vārdu pateiktu, es atcerētos. Tomēr pēc citas svaigas diskusijas par to, ka Annuška eļļu jau izlējusi, ilgi nomocījos, kamēr atcerējos Sātana vārdu, kas visu laiku tepat mēles galā vien bija. Njā, vecums nenāk viens... | I remember the time when we discussed posibility of math analysis of Master and Margarita and someone who had teached me a lot didn't react on name Woland in Master and Margarita context and I assumed, that he had never red it. And its possible he hadn't, because, hearing the name I'd remember it right away. However after other recent discussion about situation like "Anna had spilled the oil" already I have tried very hard for about 3 days to remember the Devils name. Woland. How could I forget, it seems Im getting old in my 29th year... |
Filmās daudz un dikti redzēts, kā, nositot pagātnē odu, var izmainīt visu nākotni. It kā slubi...domāt par to ikdienā. Protams, ir labi nenodarīt nevienai dzīvai radībai pāri. Bet priekšmetiem? Tiem taču nesāp un nav dvēseles... teorētiski... Tomēr, kāds tos ir izveidojais un tam laikam ir.
Vakar, piebraucot pie mājas, beidzu tukšot 0,33l sulas pudelīti. Un nevis to vnk izmetu, bet sāku domāt, ka es faktiski tagad ietekmēju šīs pudelītes nākotni. Ja es to izmetīšu atkritumu urnā, tā visticamāk nonāks izgāztuvē un tur gadiem bezjēdzīgi mētāsies. Sā salīs un apsnigs, tai nopelēs nost etiķete, sulas paliekas iekšā aprīs visādas baktērijas - no tāda viedokļa baktērijas savukārt būtu ieguvējas.
Tikpat labi varu pudelīti atdot mātei, lai tur ielej pašgatavotas ogu sulas vai tml. Tādā gadījumā stikla pudelīte ar aizskrūvējamo vāciņu turpinātu būt noderīga. Ja tai būtu, dvēsele, tā noteikti būtu laimīgāka, esot uz balkona, pilna ar sulu, nevis mētājoties izgāztuvē. Kaut gan, kā s to varu zināt? Nevaru iedomāties, ka kkam patiktu mētāties izgāztuvē. Stiklam, metālam, plastmasai un papīram taču it kā domu un sajūtu nav.
Vai nav vienalga?
Nav. Un tas reizēm traucē. Lieka vara. Spēja ar vienu kustību mainīt visu kā cita nākotni...
