Back to Twitter

2011/06/19

After being away for over 4 months, I am back on Twitter. No, I did not miss the stream of 160 character mixture of news, trivia, white noise and occasional nuggets. Three main reasons: 1) Twitter seems to to become  unavoidable – more and more services assume that one has twitter account. Many cyberevents rules [...]

Dear Cultured Code, you are history …

2011/06/18

I have been Cultured Code customer for over 2 years and used multiple their products: Things on OS-X, Things for iPad and iPhone on daily basis. Not any more. I am definitely giving up on Things and Cultured Code products. The reason why is sheer frustration from long wait on usable synchronization between Things on [...]

Facebook or LinkedIn – that’s the question

2011/04/07

Few weeks ago, I canceled my Twitter account and stopped using Twitter altogether. I do not miss it at all. The next vector of distraction to be brought under control is Facebook. This is a tougher nut to crack – because of wide variety of people in my circle of friends, Facebook plays many different [...]

Bye bye Twitter

2011/01/30

I have came to a conclusion that I do have too much stuff in my life. Too much and too little and the same time. Too much information. Too many interruptions and distractions. Too little time to think. Too much consumption of information and not enough time to process it and do anything meaningful with [...]

Thanks for all the adds

2010/01/26

As regular listener to multiple TWIT Network podcasts (This Week In tech, Macbreak Weekly, This Week in Google, Free Libre Opensource Software, Security Now, Windows Weekly) I am very much aware of all the advertisers that keep Leo and the gang in business and make the podcast’s stream going. I have even acted upon several [...]

Forget me not, Web2.0 edition

2009/05/23

I stumbled upon this pretty nice little application or service – depends how you see it. It is called reQall (obviously would have been recall, but recall.com as every good domain is taken. What it does is that allows you to set a reminder in the future to do something – at given time and [...]

Almost perfect backup backup solution

2009/03/24

The double backup word in the title is not an oversight. If I would be talking about “almost perfect backup solution”, it would be Time Machine – which has proven, despite it’s minor annoyances (see this) to be very unobtrusive and functional. As long as you have Mac and Leopard, of course. What I am [...]

Evernote Firefox plugin version 3.0.0.45382 – do NOT update

2009/03/22

Since few months I have slowly switched all my online notebooks to Evernote. In case you are not familiar with it, it is a great service. You can clip pieces of Web pages, type in notes, attach documents and multimedia files (pictures, sounds) and store them online to be always available through nicely done Ajaxian [...]

Fix for 'Sender address is invalid' error on iPhone 3G

2008/11/24

I started to have this error about week ago, out of the blue. I was not aware of making any changes, but suddenly could not reply to an email, send new email or even forward existing email in the iPhone default Mail application. I am using GMail account and because other clients on different platforms [...]

2008/11/20

If you want to watch YouTube video on the plane (and Google TechChannel has some amazing collection of videos), here is how to save it to disk, without any tools or third party program, using just your Mac and Safari out of the box. Go to YouTube page and select video you are interested in [...]
