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.
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!!!
| Atjaunināju Installous app un atkal nosprāga Cydia. | Again! While updating Installous app Cydia permanently crushed. |
| Pie kļūdainas updates nokrita, iPhone pārstartējās. Cydia tikai atvērās un aizvērās. Nav sanācis laika meklēt pareizo risinājumu un šīs, gan jau ne tikai mani skārušās, problēmas cēloni. Pagaidām risinu ar Rock app Reinstalējot Installous. Pēc kārtīgas pārinstalācijas arī Cydia atdzīvojas. Kāpēc tā un kā to nokopt pieklājīgi, nav ne jausmas. | In time of Installous (bugged) update, iPhone restarted itself. After those minutes of fun I could not start Cydia. It just closed right after opened. I have not googled for a cause and official solution for this problem. No time yet.

What do I want?
To call or send a sms to a phone number found on the Internet using my Mac.
I'd like to make a shortcut to something that calls the selected umber from iPhone.
Is it too much to ask?
Yes it is!
BluePhone Elite does not work on iPhone.
iCloud is sooooo stuffed with things I dont need. Its heavy even on my Mac (using Firefox browser)...
And its the same file sharing as Dropbox, Google docs etc. I can not start a call from there.
Still the easiest way to start a call is to email the number to myself, open the letter from my iPhone and call the number in the letter. Oher as good way is to send the number in a sms from computer.
Quite an effort anyway, but I still dont know a faster way :(( Not good for iPhone at all
Great instruction on how to make a shortcut to Login Window when just locking the screen is not enough and access for other users with their logins is needed.

Tested myself on Mac OS 10.6.2
BEIGAS / END
Izmantoju iespēju pāris nedēļas pamēģināt TELE2 Huawei 1750 praktiski. Interesantāku procesu padara tas, ka eksperimenta dators ir MacBook Black ar Mac OS 10.6.1
Sanēmu papīrus, kastīti, līgumu u.t.t. sestdienas pēcpusdienā un priecīgi devos mājup sākt eksperimentu. Pievienoju modemu, viss smuki uzinstalējās. Atšķirībā no LMT, Teles modemam ir paredzēta Partner programma arī Mac.
Ak jā, LMT bija iebaidījis, ka SIM kartei pirms lietošanas Huaweiā jānoņem PIN kods, jo Mac programmai nav, kur to ievadīt. Nezinu, vai tas mani paglāba, bet pirms SIM kartes likšanas modemā noņēmu tai tieksmi prasīt PIN kodu kādā no vecajiem telefoniem.
Pievienojās smuki, BET nedarbojās un kko ziņoja par ne tādu "Phone connection".
Tā kā puisis @TELE2 teica, ka SIM karte tiks aktivizēta dienas laikā, sākumā mierīgi gaidīju.
Svētdienā tomēr mierā nelikos. Izrādās, ka tam nebija nekāda sakara ar SIM.
Nākamā nediena: tīkls ir, bet ātrums nav.
Tāds ātrums konstanti ir Saulkrastos. Samērā netālu no Via Baltica, vietā, kur LMT ir 3G pārklājums. Te kkāds klibs HSDPA.
Turpināšu tuvāko dienu laikā testēt citās vietās, bet izskatās, ka nav paturēšanas vērts.
Modemiņš ir jaunāks un smukāks, turklāt viss lieliski uzstādās uz Mac OS 10.6.1, BET tas lēnums....
Mazliet vēlāk mazliet labāk (tepat Saulkrastos), bet rezultāts tik un tā ir zems

| Testelis, kas nosakot atkarību no Apple. Īsti neder LV iedzīvotājiem, jo nav bijusi iespēja stāvēt rindā pēc jaunākajiem Apple produktiem tāpēc, ka visi, izņemot Leopardu, LV līdz šim ir parādījušies krietni vēlāk par citām valstīm. Radi un draugi arī neprasa padomus savu Mac lietošanā, jo viņiem nav Mac :( | A quiz: How Addicted to Apple Are You? It's not applicable to Mac users living in Latvia. We have never had Apple products on launch day in shops of LV resellers, except Leopard. We are not interested to stand in queue @LV - we can go to UK and by before other latvians some days after launch day. Friends and relatives have never asked questions about using their Macs, because they do not have Macs :( |

Apraksts, kā iestādīt Rīgu laika joslā. Konsoles versiju izmēģināju. Nesanāca. Pico laikam ne tā to izlaboto failu noseivoju :( Ar lietotājam draudzīgām metodēm viss izdevās.
Ar dashboard World Clock bija lielāka ķēpa, jo izrādījās ka Tīģerim jālabo divās, nevis vienā vietā kā Leopardam. Dundurs, malacis, visu paskaidroja, paldies viņam :)

As u can see, my posts about books I have red can get really long and annoying for people who are not interested in these books or can not read in Latvian.
There is a hack, how to make expandable posts. With a little problem - even short posts will be expandable using the hack. (c) http://blogger-tricks.blogspot.com/search/label/expandable%20post%20summary
All posts posted before this one has the link "Viss raksts... / Read More..." now, but there is no more to read.
For the next short posts not having anything more to read while expanded, even with no bigger pictures ;) there will be BEIGAS / END at the end of the post.
