Just read Why Microsoft must abandon Vista today. While the article is not that convincing, anyway, it's one of those greeaaat articles, with lots. And, under the hood of anonymity, you get to cheer or flame lots of OSs and OS versions. We need more of these articles! Wednesday, September 26, 2007. Void myfunc(my args);.

Remember that nasty dialog that appears when you start Firefox? Your last Firefox session closed unexpectedly. " with 2 buttons: "Restore session" and "Start New Session". Well, simply put, that's just stupid. That's just extra excise - and besides, why do I need to bother remembering what tabs I had opened? Do you ...

I'm getting in touch with my virtual self. Making my thoughts go digital. Just in case I need to later do a search on them. Sunday, December 30, 2007. Bad UI : aphabetical ordering (completion, etc). It's quite stunning to see that completion is still as dumb as it was when it was first invented. And I'm not just talking about completion of code when it comes to programming, I'm talking about completion in general. For instance, email completion in Thunderbird. When I write std: c. When I type ovi. Final...

And it's happened to me quite a few times - someone bored answering the phone, not giving me the information I need, etc. Conversations need to be recorded.

I'm getting in touch with my virtual self. Making my thoughts go digital. Just in case I need to later do a search on them. Monday, March 31, 2008. I enjoy IM much more than phone. Of course phone is best at times. However, mostly, I really enjoy IM. IM doesn't have the "urgency" attached to it - I can solve a request on my own time. IM is logged by default (while phone is not recorded by default). Sometimes you forget things over the phone, while with an IM, you can later remember them. If you check it ...

I'm getting in touch with my virtual self. Making my thoughts go digital. Just in case I need to later do a search on them. Thursday, May 15, 2008. The ancients and their fax machines. Personally, I don't understand people that still use the fax. It truly denotes a lot of stupidity on their part, when email is soooooooo much better. Email is so much easier :. The service is 99.99% available. And who can be so stupid to use the fax? 1 What if you have a file with 20 printouts inside you want to send?
