Well, it has been some time since my last post here. Amazing thing is that having a blog makes you fell obliged to write something from time to time. Funny…
Anyway, it is OK – it motivates me, at least, to “share” what has happened lately here – at my end of the “net-space”. And it has happened a lot!
For the first, Santa is coming early this year – with a lot of “goodies” in his bag:
Acer Aspire One
Nokia 5310
New hard disk (500 GB)…
Wow! I simply cannot wait to unwrap my new Blue Communication System!
Next – there is a lot going on in the WordPress world. Many theme creators are going Open Source which gives us, simple users, opportunity to try out some excellent themes, new version of Wordpess (2.7) is closer and closer, many interesting articles were published. My personal choice of last week WordPress-connected links worthy underlining:
Why am I pointing out those articles? Simply because in my humble opinion, the authors are doing a lot for WordPress and WordPress themes and they deserve much more publicity than they actually have – watch their sites – their design will be the future of blogging (hopefully!).
Now few words about Twitter. I am relatively new user of the service (and according to latest statistics – I should not be using it – too old… ). Well, I find it actually useful and funny. Again only in my modest opinion, it is something in between IM (Instant Messenger) and blog. Perfect tool to find out trends and – “make a buzz”. Remember though that it is relatively easy to make something “trendy”, make an excitement around new things – much more difficult is to keep interest of the public. This craves a real effort and… a real value. If you would like to learn a bit more of “wise tweeting” try following this blog:
Talking about value, not so long time ago I started to use Zemanta service on the blog. Zemanta is a service which adds semantic value to your “writings” (suggests pictures, links, tags and so on). I am pretty satisfied with the service but today I “stumbled upon” Tagaroo (based on Calais powered by Thomson Reuters). It is not the first time I consider the service – it just seems pretty similar to Zemanta. And here I have a kind request – if you are reading this blog and you are/were using those services – can you, please, explain to me:
The difference between Zemanta and Tagaroo?
Could they be used side by side?
And if not – what is an advantage of using one over the other?
As you probably noticed my questions are shy trial to invite you to leave a comments here. Why? Hm, because the real value of social web, in my belief, is in creating the space for dialogue, sharing points of view, knowledge.
It seems I wrote slightly too much… Anyway – I hope you enjoyed my Weekly and… hope to meet you soon again.
In the rest of the computing world of desktop computers and mainstream notebooks, you’re typically choosing between Windows Vista or Mac OS X, but in the world of netbooks, it’s Linux or XP. Those two operating systems are perfect for netbooks thanks to their lower CPU and power requirements.
As any Linux fan will tell you, the beauty of this OS is its stability. These Linux machines don’t crash, boot quickly, and are generally known to be all-around reliable computers
Well, I am about to buy one – and mine will definitely come with Linux “on-board”. Not because I am a Linux, well, “fan-girl”, but because of its reliability, speed and the amount of quickly developing and amazing software (programs) I can use out of the box.
And what do you usually need when you are “on-the-road”. I need:
for the first – reliable and featuerich – browser – Firefox,
next – file manager – there are plenty of them to choose – my actual is called Nautilus,
perhaps some kind of media and/or music player – VLC,
reliable Office suite – Open Office,
and last but not least – IM – Pidgin.
This all come with preloaded Linux – this and much more. Isn’t it simply wondrful?
Et britisk selskap ønsker å ta patent på en brokkolitype som motvirker kreft. 16 norske organisasjoner ber nå regjeringen om å prøve å stoppe patentet.
For all of you not speaking Norwegian – this is another story showing where the patents lead to. British company PBL would like to patent the type of broccoli which fights cancer. 16 Norwegian organisation ask government to [at least] try to stop patent.
