Notes on broken english

Fri, 03 Feb 2006 22:26:27 GMT

As I have some problems with LiveJournal:

1) I can't post code here
2) I always forget to switch users :-)
3) Smth else. I don't remember now...

I decided to move my English speaking blog here: http://pi.by/blog.
Maybe somene will create a syndication account for it here in LJ or maybe not :-)

See you guys in my new blog! :-)

Newsvine

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 21:46:59 GMT

Maybe someone can invite me to the Newsvine? It'll be great :-)
Also some time ago I started to look at so called web2.0 projects.
Do you know what I think about the most of them?! – Well, you may find an old good idea, add tags - and you'll have a popular web2.0 project :-)
Example is del.isio.us - the idea is old like the universe. The same thing with many others (as well as Newsvine :-).

I was amazed after I saw these two sets on Flickr (first, second).

After a number of projects I work on grew up to N, I started to forget why did I come to work today? :-)

So, to work on my projects and to hold all my notes. I use a special notebook with replaceable pages. I write notes for each project on new pages, after all things is done I delete this page. It is very useful.
Also I have a PocketPC with organizer there. I don’t like it it is hard to write smth. there.

Now I’m looking at NeoMem: “NeoMem allows you to store and organize all kinds of information in a cross between a word processor and database. The interface is similar to Windows Explorer, except that instead of dealing with files on a hard disk you deal with objects in a file.”

So, how do you hold your notes? How do you keep track of your projects?

Google + OpenOffice?

Thu, 06 Oct 2005 20:04:18 GMT

Just have read this interesting artlicle: Google, Sun Microsystems collaborate. Some suggestions about Google and OpenOffice are quite interesting :-)

But, anyway I don't think thet Google should compete with Microsoft in anything thet is not search or search-based service. Microsoft is very strong company and if Google will begin a "war" with them - it may just help Microsoft. Google is first of all a search engine.

Chinise web?

Wed, 28 Sep 2005 16:26:09 GMT

I am interested in popular Chinise web portals and search engines. I want to have a look at them.
Also in any interesting pages about Chinise history and present in English.

P.S I need links ;-)

Choosing AJAX class

Mon, 26 Sep 2005 18:29:28 GMT

Do you use Flickr? I'm sure if you have already give it a try - you must be in love with its interface. All those dynamically loaded layers and parts of pages, without actual reloading of whole page. They have made it using technology called AJAX.

At my work I have some ideas how to improve some of our web-services using AJAX models. But of course I can't write my own scripts it'll take to much time, so I want to use one of recently released PHP Classes.

I have found 3: xajax, najax and pajax. Pretty similar names ah? ;-) They all were released recently and have done last updates in the and of August - September, Their functionality is pretty similar. So it is really hard thing to chose what class to use.

I liked the way xajax done their short description-documentation with examples. But it's last version is only 0.1 beta4. It's psychologically hard to start developing on the basis of class with such version ;-)

I wonder maybe some of my friends can give me an advise??

Keyboard shortcuts

Fri, 16 Sep 2005 20:21:54 GMT

I've just looked through the latest RedHat Magazine. There are a very nice article by Rosanna Yuen about keyboard shortcuts - Keyboard shortcuts: Faster than the speed of mouse. Well everyone know about it, but usually you don't have enough time to read about it. I'm a pretty old linux user but it was interesting for me to play with some Gnome and Firefox shortcuts. Also there are description of Evolution and OpenOffice shortcuts. I recommend to all linux users just to look through this article, and I am sure you'll find something interesting there for you personally.

Plums

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 22:23:21 GMT

I don't know if you guys have such word as dacha. It is a kind of summer residence/cottage.
So today at my dacha we were gathering plums. This year we had a lot of them. I think it was hard to hold them all for plum-tree :-)

Drivel

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 22:19:03 GMT

I've just compiled RPM of Drivel for CentOS. Here it is:

drivel-2.0.2-1.centos4.1.pi.i386.rpm

But few minutes ago I decided to visit a page of LogJam - I started to use LiveJournal with this nice client. It was about a year or two without any updates - so I switched to Drivel some time ago. Now, as I can see, on 24 Aug 2005 there were a new release (4.5.1) so I'm going to try it again soon :-).

Muine 0.8.3 RPM for CentOS-4.1/RHEL

Mon, 05 Sep 2005 19:55:44 GMT

I have created RPM for Muine music player, nice one! :-). It is Mono+Gtk# based so you'll need them to be installed on your system to run Muine. I use official Mono packages for RHEL4, taken from Mono project homepage. And I recommend you to use them either.
It'll be nice if someone will test the package, I hope I didn't forgot about any dependences.

Download RPM:
muine-0.8.3-3.centos4.1.pi.i386.rpm
And here is SRPM (if someone need):
muine-0.8.3-3.centos4.1.pi.src.rpm

System tray icon and Dashboard support plugins enabled.

Also here you can find packages for Gstreamer 0.8.10. It is just fresher then CentOS have (also there is a special package for mp3 support).

hello again :-)

Sun, 04 Sep 2005 17:49:16 GMT

So, as you can see, I decided to return back to LiveJournal after a long time of using Blogger for my english speaking blog. Livejournal is the easiest way of blogging, I think :-)

Got to worry?

Sun, 04 Sep 2005 17:09:00 GMT

Ok so today I tried to install some mono-based apps on my CentOS-4.1. I recently switched to CentOS because I'm not able to be up to date with FC (it releases a new versions too fast).

First I tried to install a latest version of Beagle (a very nice, as one says tool for searching the documents etc.). I wasn't able to solve dependencies.

Then I decided to take a look at Tomboy, a little app for creating a notes. It requires libgnomeprintui-2.2 witch I think I have, but I wasn't able to let him know about it.
Ok, at last I decided to install Muine a music player, I already used it some time ago, again I received a problem with dbus-sharp.

I'm not a newbie in linux. That what I'm worry about - for whom do they create their apps if it is impossible to use them on relatively "fresh" system?!

Happy New Year!

hmmmm

Fri, 23 Jan 2004 16:41:20 GMT

What I really don't understand in Gentoo... why they didn't add a kernel-sources in LiveCD if I need it during the installation process?

Mono

Thu, 22 Jan 2004 12:17:26 GMT

About month ago I was looking for fast and simple way of programming Gnome apps. And I decided that gtk2-perl is right for me.
But after I read this article i really don't know... May be I should learn Mono instead of using what I already know (especially if "in 2 to 3 years most new Gnome user/desktop applications will be written --hopefully-- in Mono and C#").
