Also the closure-library link for the transport layer is ready.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of today the develop branch from the last 2 months is merged in the master, which means that it is useful as it is, no need for special setup. You can just host it anywhere and point your Tornado device to the start URL (edit the M55/M70 settings and set 'Start URL' and 'Use start URL' to true).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one piece still missing is the picture browser, we are working to resolve the memory restriction making web-kit to crash after a while with large files. Once this is ready you will have a complete interface, fully customizable via CSS only and very easy to extend with JavaScript.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://github.com/pstjvn/tui"&gt;The code is available on GitHub&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The documentation is progressing well, for now it covers only the transport layer and its abstraction layers, but the plan is for it to include the UI elements as well for easier use of the source as SDK for your own AV application or even your games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The binding for closure library will be released soon, we are still clearing some compiler warnings in strict mode with type checking. Stay tuned. Using the closure compiler brings some new features, like compilation for a particular device, cutting out large portions of the code base and making the application faster. We are also working on some nifty features like app cache and local storage for even faster loading as well as some advanced visualization features, that will run on the newer devices and will bring the cutting edge presentation layer one expects from a modern web application.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-2219472225179307011?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=2219472225179307011&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/2219472225179307011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/2219472225179307011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/12/tui-status-update.html' title='TUI status update'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-2024197410712287609</id><published>2011-12-22T12:51:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-12-22T12:51:10.983+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fun'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='books'/><title type='text'>Списание Дъга</title><content type='html'>Ако сте над 25 годишни и сте от мъжки пол (пък даже и от женски да сте..) сигурно си спомняте списание "Дъга".

Също друго, много интересно нещо бе, че различните истории се рисуваха в различен стил, което развива артистичните усещание у младежта.

It is customizable and extendable beyond anything I have encountered. However this is not seen as s plus immediately by JavaScript developers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this post I will try to summarize my experience with Vim for JavaScript programming and in particular with closure tools and node.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of course you will need Vim 7.x. You will also need exuberant ctags or gjstags. The former is preferred though (explained later) and a JavaScript hinter/linter (jsl, jshint, jslint or gjslint).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now for the vim plugins: you will need syntactic, taglist, nerd three and writeJSDOCcommen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ctags is used to annotate your code and while it does not have the fancy options of Aptana Studio or Eclipse (like annotation for variables in the scope of a method or the properties of an object enumerated in the Object annotation as well as properties on its prototype all arranged in a nice tree view) it has something I often fine more useful - the fact that it is able to append the annotations so when you have opened 10 files and you see only one in your editor you still see all annotations for all open files. This is especially useful when working with code you do not know well (like the vast closure library for example, did I mentioned that I struggled with a tool to help me getting better knowledge of closure).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To use ctags effectively in vim I would suggest &lt;a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=273"&gt;taglist&lt;/a&gt;. I use the following option setting in my vimrc:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;let tlist_javascript_settings = 'javascript;f:functions;c:classes;m:methods;p:properties;v:globals'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is - I want everything annotated in JavaScript files. I also use this shortcut:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;nmap &lt;c-t&gt; :TlistToggle&lt;cr&gt;&lt;/cr&gt;&lt;/c-t&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In ftplugin/javascript.vim I also have:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;nnoremap &lt;buffer&gt; &lt;f9&gt;&amp;nbsp; :&lt;c-u&gt;call WriteJSDocComment()&lt;cr&gt;&lt;/cr&gt;&lt;/c-u&gt;&lt;/f9&gt;&lt;/buffer&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not extremely useful, but a time saver. This was for code annotation, not lets begin with code checking.&amp;nbsp; I used to go with node js and jshint, but the truth is it does not make sense to install node js just to run hinting on it - after all it is marketed as server side JavaScript. Hinting is actually better done with &lt;a href="https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic/"&gt;syntactic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By default it will look for any linter installed, I tried gjslint (the closure instrumentation linter) and jsl. The former tend to be too much closire library centric so probably the later would be better if you are not developing with closure in mind. Also the gjslint executable is much slower on larger files. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last is NERD_tree which is not JavaScript must have, but it helps a lot see and browse your files as you do in any other IDE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I was not able to find is help system that is able to read JSDoc annotation for JavaScript and hint the usage. If anyone knows about such, please let me know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: I often switch OSes, Looks and feels, IDEs and editors, browsers etc. I like diversity. However to this day I have not found the perfect JavaScript editor. Every one out there has a feature that I like but the others lack and each one lacks multiple features I like. Looks like finding the perfect tool is a never ending quest.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-8154643136314329804?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=8154643136314329804&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8154643136314329804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8154643136314329804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/12/developing-javascript-in-vim.html' title='Developing JavaScript in Vim'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-3978291903366702461</id><published>2011-10-20T19:42:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2011-10-20T19:42:30.945+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Street view by train!</title><content type='html'>Street view for the Alps?

Which means they can put 30 or 100 developers into something for months and even years and pay them to do something that might fail epically and still they would not mind! While the smaller companies and single developers cannot invest months into something that might fail or just be useless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the 'why' - it is just an experiment. The high expectations are to be the browsers that 'runs it native' and maybe they believe it will give chrome and chromeos some better user acceptance. Or maybe they really believe it is a step forward. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, just let them be.

As such I invested time and energy even beyond my 8/5 work schedule - I often fund myself involved in on-line activities related to augmenting my skills in the language I support my family with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This said, it is explicable that I as excited when &lt;a href="http://nodejs.org/"&gt;nodejs&lt;/a&gt; came around. I was not exactly one of the first adopters and around he time I tried it there were connect and early form of express and other middle ware and frameworks that ease the server side development. And I was relieved! Because frankly who wants to reinvent the wheel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, node promoted itself big time in the JavaScript community, promising you the ability to write your logic once and run it anywhere, the server and the client alike. There are even companies that struggled for almost two years to reveal a large scale product based on node (like nodejitsu and cloud9). Interesting and useful (mind you!) things came to life - Socket alternative (like commet for python) at your disposal that you can code for in the language you already know well, for example. I for one was struggling once with Comet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This however must come to an end. Why? Well, the thing is node might be great for some subset of application cases, I for one have never had one of those however. Node still does not have great SQL linkage (unlike any other server side language you still cannot reliably use stored procedure in the SQL server and have reliable return values in your JavaScript, I my practice we had to modify the procedures to have only one SELECT to be able to parse the results correct in mysql-node.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today I read this article that says it well : &lt;a href="http://teddziuba.com/2011/10/node-js-is-cancer.html"&gt;node js is cancer&lt;/a&gt;. Why? Because it is over praised and use for "everything", while its niche is in fact pretty small. The fact that get to use language on the server that you already know might be tempting, but the thing is - it is not necessarily appropriate for everything. And while you applications logic start requiring ultra dynamic server side + client side mix of JavaScript it will never be!&amp;nbsp; I mention that because there are good projects out there that allow you to call server side JavaScript objects and method and this sounds very tempting to me, as on the server I can rely heavily on standards (V8 for example) this is mostly not the case in browser environments. On the other side this is somewhat simplified work around for cases where server side calls are performed and executed in other languages - i.e. the client side does not need to care about the server side implementation, which IMO makes this somewhat pointless, unless you need to write the server side logic as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My disclaimer: I have release exactly one web project completed entirely in node.js environment. And to tell you the truth - very simple one. And I gave it all up. Why? Because this is simply bull shit! I had to re-create in JavaScript functionality that was build and ready to use for years in pretty much any other server side language. And on top of that I had to learn new tools for server side deployment, 'forever', node set-up, npm set up and other things just to get this one web site going. And mind you&amp;nbsp; - the idea and implementation there was easy! The most simple thing, sending emails, took me a day and a half to start working properly. Not because I don't know the language, just because out of the 8 implementations in npm only one was able to do what it is supposed to to - everything else made the main server dislike us. Try this in any other language, be it java, python or php or really anything server side and you will see - it will just work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you see, I am not against node.js. I am against using it as general purpose server implementation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet another thing I have to confess: I use node applications to JSLint my client side code, I use jade executable to compile my client side templates and I use uglify JS to minify my code. I sometimes also use requirejs with node to minify and compile the client side code before deployment. But notice - those are only tools. I would never use those on server side application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How I see the future? I think most useful it would be to just make node work as library on top of apache like the python interpreter is. And use it only where needed!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-8310656988941837027?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=8310656988941837027&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8310656988941837027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8310656988941837027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/10/node-madness.html' title='Node madness'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-1141824292164495004</id><published>2011-10-01T02:30:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-10-01T02:30:00.217+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='javascript'/><title type='text'>Project shift evaluation (Target: Closure library)</title><content type='html'>I have given another though on &lt;a href="http://code.google.com/closure/"&gt;closure library + compiler + templates&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have downloaded the source, the compiler and template utilities. The source is really well documented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately I have issues with the fact that the compiler understands only certain subset of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript"&gt;JavaScript&lt;/a&gt; language, which means that I as developer need to restrain my work to those limitations for the only purpose to be able to compile the code to a usable size once development is completed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have tried to compile some of code as it is - it mostly did not work:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;if (!window.console.group) {...}&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;resulted in:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;if (!window.console.a){..}&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;which is actually pointless. To avoid this I have to write:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;if(!window.console['group']){..}&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;which is then compiler to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;if(!window.console.group){...}&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find this exercise to be tedious for the developer; if a statement is valid JavaScript compilation should NOT break it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I likes the name spaces idea nice, however the &lt;a href="http://www.adequatelygood.com/2010/3/JavaScript-Module-Pattern-In-Depth"&gt;module pattern &lt;/a&gt;is equally nice to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now about the templates. Our design guys make the prototypes in plain html. It seem fairly easy for a developer to translate this in closure template. However the fact that I need to use it with closure compiler throws it under the bus. Indeed the generated JavaScript is fast and compact, but fast and compact javascript is generate for &lt;a href="https://github.com/visionmedia/jade"&gt;jade templates&lt;/a&gt; also (and probably other templates for the node platform, those can be 'browserified'. The overhead of translating the HTML markup to Jade markup is not that bug as the Jade is fairly simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of the compilation always valid code with minification is produced by &lt;a href="https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS"&gt;uglify&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was hoping for some more advances when dealing with UI, for example loading the css, the template and the logic of widget on demand. Nothing like that, at least not at first glance was found in Closure.&amp;nbsp; Seems we will continue handling the css manually and loading the modules with our JavaScript module implementation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before anyone gets this personally and start explaining the numerous advantages of Closure, let me tell you, I even went as far as reading "Closure: The definitive guide". I did not found the answer to our problem there. So it might be the greatest of them all, it still relies on coding style, which we do not have and there is no currently plan to port 100000 lines of code to another coding style so that closure compiler can handle it. Maybe one day when it can handle any code we will move on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion: The main motivation behind this attempt with closure was the fact it makes maintainability much simpler. For example if we rely on Google to update the core and keep the API, we can assure the longevity of our code.Our code base grew enormous for the last year and we want to support only that, forgetting about browser inconsistencies, we would want to NOT back-port new versions of libraries, we do not like libraries that alter/augment native and host objects and we want either the namespace pattern or the module pattern. We want to be able to minify. Still we have not found all those in one project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our current approach is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;requirejs for module loading&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;jade for templating&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;css for styling - no processing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;simple build process that minifies all scripts and then runs the requirejs optimizer. We minify all scripts because most of them are dynamically loaded and the optimizer cannot see them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;documentation is built by an in-house developed script reading the source (comment based as with YUIdoc, however much simpler).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;development environments are created with scripts that produces the base of the library, the project structures and a test server with local and remote debug server that compiles the templates on the fly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;deployment is created with script and is complemented by a build from the development&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;versioning is done with git flow&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-1141824292164495004?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=1141824292164495004&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/1141824292164495004'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/1141824292164495004'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/10/project-shift-evaluation-target-closure.html' title='Project shift evaluation (Target: Closure library)'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-2363175157353962282</id><published>2011-09-27T14:30:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-27T14:30:02.480+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movies'/><title type='text'>Transformers (3)</title><content type='html'>Най-тъпият филм, който съм гледал, с най-неясните ефекти.

Стремим се в кухнята ни да няма много изкушения.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Консистенцията на изпечения кейк не е като на традиционния кекс, не е така пухкав и мек, прилича повече на плътен хляб. Ето защо след като изстине го нарязвате по удобен начин, според формата за печене, която сте ползвали и намазвате хубаво със смес от добре изцедено мляко и домашно сладко (ние ползвахме от череши, освен това минахме сладкото малко през миксера и оставихме само няколко цели череши вътре, за украса). Оставяте леко да поеме влага и е готово за хапване.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Докато сме на въпроса с десертите, отцеденото кисело мляко е страхотна основа за всякакви вкусни сладкиши. Ние ползваме 1.5% или 2% мляко и го отцеждаме за няколко часа. Водата ползваме като айран, доста е солена между другото, вероятно купуваме мляко, в което добавят сол, макар да не е означено на етикетите.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;След като е отцедено разбиваме млякото с нещо сладко, често това е мед или домашно сладко от ягоди, череши или друг леснодостъпен от село плод. Плътният сладък вкус доста добре подтиска глада за млечен шоколад. Ако пък обичате ядки, може да се добавят в сместа, става доста добре, но аз лично не обичам никакви ядки. Консумирам ги само много фино смлени в мюсли или в смеси като &lt;a href="http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/09/dietary-adjustments.html"&gt;тази&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Освен че има по-малко мазнини от обикновения шоколад (калориите в такава смес са около 2 пъти по-малко от колкото в шоколад със същия грамаж, това разбира се не означава да ядем два пъти повече от млечните смески), по-голяма част от калориите са за сметка на протеина, от колкото в шоколадите. При някои хора поемането на протеини подтиска глада за по-дълго време. Простата истина е, че след определена възраст повечето българи просто приемат твърде много калории. Дори и да спортуват, стегнатите мускули са покрити с мазни слоеве. А колко от нас всъщност спортуват до толкова, че да поемат по 500+ калории на ден над норматива си.

What I mean by that is the known fact of decision fatigue: this is, when you are tired of comparing options at the end you just give up and you make no rational decision. Which is exactly what the sales representatives want. Of course this post is not to blame them, as anyone has to make their living and does it by its means. However, knowing about the facts on how we make decisions is very important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to clarify that I do use and I do like Zepter products, I have used several and I am very happy with my purchases, I am using the company just as an example here because of their direct marketing strategy which is working partially by pressing the potential buyer into a purchase, part of the methods used derive from decision taking fatigue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/21/magazine/do-you-suffer-from-decision-fatigue.html?_r=1&amp;amp;pagewanted=all"&gt;More about the studies can be found here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is this performed for Zepter presentations. First of all you are seated for at least one hour, during this time probably someone is cooking something which will be given to taste at the end of the presentation. During this time you are constantly bombarded with "facts" (&lt;i&gt;I put those in commas because the real name of those is "claims", not facts, for example Zepter claim that during cooking all vitamins are preserved in the food which cannot be physically not chemically true, unless during cooking the food is transferred in a parallel universe where the vitamins are not destroyed by the high temperature, for this to be fact there should be some real measurement done by certified laboratory and the data from the tests as well as how the tests were performed should be available to the buyer, this is never the case! Even if it was the case, how many potential buyers would have the possibility to check on th laboratory credentials in this one hour time frame?&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the products are described one after another and sometimes marvellous qualities and functions are imagined and described with great confidence you start to think that Zepter is selling everything that you need, and mostly what they sell is what you need indeed. As mentioned in the disclaimer above I do use their products, still I am not in agreement with their methods of selling it! At the end you are presented with the astronomically high prices and you have to make the decision. You are now really hungry,&amp;nbsp; (see reference link) and you have to choose from so many wonderful things! Now is the time when the consultant/manager/whatever uses its powers over you - to push you into a contract. They know what you came for (usually you are invited by a friend or colleague and they know why you are there) and subtly guide you into purchasing it. The beauty of it is that a day later you know you have spent too much money on something you might not really need, buy you are completely sure you have made the right decision. As to quote from the NYT magazine: "By the end, you could have talked me into anything".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice that not "decision" fatigue&amp;nbsp; is the reason you buy, but the slight guidance from the person who sells you the stuff. Also notice that the less money (i.e. less options you have on purchasing everything you liked on a presentation) the easier is to be pushed into making a certain purchase. This is a well known also, rarely people with lots of money attend those parties, unless they are "in the game". If you have the option to purchase anything you could hardly be rushed into purchasing anything. This comes from the fact that we are constantly bombarded with money decisions and we just do not want more of those. Each time you have to think of money it is a decision making. To purchase this or that!? But the money is not the only object, when you do not have enough to make mistakes (i.e. buy the one you randomly choose at the moment, then decide if you like it or not and possibly purchase another one with similar capabilities/qualities).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to go to a presentation on a MLM - go. Here everything you want to hear, take notes and then go home. And forget about it. After a month re-open the notes taken and check all claims (you could start online - it is cheap and easy). Then compare products! Always compare products. Then check your needs. Often you are lead to believe you need &lt;b&gt;all&lt;/b&gt; functions/capabilities of a product - usually you do not! Why would you need 2 vacuum cleaners?! Also be aware of the "additional purchase" - if you are offered to buy an item for 1000EU but if you decide to take a second item with face value of 300EU the whole purchase will be 1100EU. This is an easy way to sell things that are actually much cheaper - for the example with the vacuum cleaned you get an ironing board/ladder. Which is priced at 320EURO!! Excuse me! No thanks, I just want the freaking vacuum machine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me tell you a trick in the marketing. Lets say I am seller 1 and I have an item priced at 100$. Exactly the same item is priced at 95$ at seller 2's shop. Now, you can come to me and say: hey, seller 2 sells it for 95$. I will tell - well, okay tell you what, you could pay 100$ here but you get a second item for free, which otherwise would be 15$. So for 100$ you actually get items for 110$!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here is the trick. The item actually costs me and seller 2 60$. If you buy it from seller 2 he gets less but I get nothing. So i am offering a second item, which is often with even bigger earning points: lets say 5$ and I put face value of 15$ on it. In the final calculation I have made bigger profit than seller 2 anyway and you get a completely useless second item (a simple example would be a new PC as item 1&amp;nbsp; and item 2 would be "stereo speakers" - with awful sound quality which is hard to sell anyway).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lesson number 1: never, ever make the purchase on place.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; take your notes at home and check out the competitive products. Compare everything you can think of. Then if you doubt about a certain aspect of the product contact the sales person again. And demand for concrete details, not some vague answer like "Ooh, don't worry, it never happens with our products".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lesson number 2: always refuse the additional products, no matter the "saving" you get.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; If they are so eager to sell you the expensive item try to negotiate lower price on it instead of taking the "free item". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lesson number 3: Do not get involved!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; If you happen to make the purchase anyway and you happen to like the product do not fanatically start to buy anything the company has to offer! And do NOT recommend it blindly. Instead advise the people seeking recommendation to repeat the same process you just read about. For their case this might not be the right purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lesson number 4: do not over-think it. If you think about a purchase for longer than 3 months you probably can go without it anyway. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Also, consider future possibilities. Simple example in those MLMs is introduction of a new product (same example - Zepter vacuum) - price at introduction - 1500Euro. Price after a month 1950Euro. This is a SIGNIFICANT price difference! If you can wait for 3 or more months for a product you can go without it for a while longer and wait for a better deal on it. And no, the new, better model is not from other space. Think how would you have felt if you bought the old model and a month after that there is a new one! Much better. Nah...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this is it. I hope you think twice next time on those presentation parties. I still do not understand why they call them parties. No one seem to have fun there... &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-8364638371644537507?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=8364638371644537507&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8364638371644537507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8364638371644537507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/09/decision-making-and-mlm.html' title='Decision making and MLM'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-1336798762671800789</id><published>2011-09-11T14:14:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-25T13:15:53.122+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='future'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><title type='text'>Dietary adjustments</title><content type='html'>След като се установи, че съм качил, вместо да съм свалил това лято дойде време да се направят няколко промени в храненето и спорта.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Започваме с храненето.

Според мен много ще върви с малко мента тази смес, но нямах и не съм го пробвал.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Освен промяната в закуските мисля да пробвам и промяна в обядите, вместо вуглехидтрати със зърнен произход, ще опитам такива, като картофи и други нещестени зеленчуци. Ще оставя обаче кафевия ориз, защото много го обичам. Мисля да увелича леко и зехтина. Рибата 2 пъти седмично и месото два пъти седмично остават, но напоследък не ме кефи пилешкото, мисля да заложа на телешко този месец.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Мисля да измервам резултата по-строго вече, с взимане на мерки през ден и записване в таблица не само началния и краен резултат, но и междинните такива.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-1336798762671800789?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=1336798762671800789&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/1336798762671800789'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/1336798762671800789'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/09/dietary-adjustments.html' title='Dietary adjustments'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Og3h7eflpnU/TmyXucg4J7I/AAAAAAAABGE/3a7pQL07Pww/s72-c/%25D0%25B7%25D0%25B0%25D0%25BA%25D1%2583%25D1%2581%25D0%25BA%25D0%25B0.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-8203563393142697987</id><published>2011-09-08T14:52:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-08T14:52:34.923+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='future'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='varna'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eco'/><title type='text'>Shareable future?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/alex_steffen.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TedtalksHD+%28TEDTalks+%28HD%29%29"&gt;Alex Steffen talked&lt;/a&gt; about shareable future for our cities. At one point of his talk he points out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;The denser the city the lesser the footprint&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;While this is certainly true the following is also true:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;The denser the city the worse the mental health of its residents.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This contrast is easily explained: while we reduce the carbon footprint we endorse the 'people' noise and the stress. Car alarms, crying babies, loud music in the neighbours, a party bellow you, piano player above you, someone making renovation somewhere in the nearby building or worse - in your building. All those things tend to build up and destroy our sense of equilibrium and the more sensible to this stress people (like me) reach a point where everything bothers them! Every little noise, every little nuance with the neighbours, with the loud people walking on the street and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So mr. Steffen, before we can stop stealing your future, you should first propose a viable solution. Because the one you are proposing right now it not good. Increasing the density of the cities is NOT what we need! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://download.ted.com/talks/AlexSteffen_2011G-480p.mp4"&gt;link to the TED video (mp4)&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-8203563393142697987?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=8203563393142697987&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8203563393142697987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8203563393142697987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/09/shareable-future.html' title='Shareable future?'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-23778196346456406</id><published>2011-09-05T20:04:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-06T13:06:36.301+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='javascript'/><title type='text'>Javascript client-side templates</title><content type='html'>How to use &lt;a href="https://github.com/visionmedia/jade"&gt;jade&lt;/a&gt; templates on the client side with requireJS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am working on a rather big project targeting webkit embedded environment and I was looking for client side templates that can be loaded at runtime (i.e. dynamically) and do not require the loading of iframe (because of some internal requirements posed by an C++/JS extension in the environment ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was using jade on node server for some time and I like the clean syntax, I never ever liked HTML syntax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To use the jade format on the client side you need the jade code:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;$ git clone git://github.com/visionmedia/jade.git&lt;/blockquote&gt;Compile the minified or the regular version as needed: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;$ cd jade &amp;amp;&amp;amp; make jade[.min].js&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The compiled version however leaks the 'require' function in the global name space and as we are using requireJS for the project (I recommend it - a lot!) we had to enclose the resulting jade code in a define:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;$ echo -n "define(function(){" &amp;gt; requirejs-jade.js &amp;amp;&amp;amp; cat jade.min.js &amp;gt;&amp;gt; requirejs-jade.js &amp;amp;&amp;amp; echo -n "return require('jade.js');});" &amp;gt;&amp;gt; requirejs-jade.js &amp;amp;&amp;amp; mv require-jade.js jade.js&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;After that we were able to allow each module to define its own template(s) at load time and use lazy load of all modules as usual:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;//module that can be loaded whenever the envoronment needs it&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;define(['jade.js' , '!text/templates/atemplate.jade'], function(jade, jadetpl) {&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; var tpl = jade.compile(jadetpl);&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; var data = {/*some data*/};&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; $('#container').innerHTML = tpl(data);&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; return {/*module's public interface*/}; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;});&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The pre-compiled to JS functions modules can be loaded from the server also! This was tested in Firefox and webkit as those are the environments targeted. I will update once I test it in IE also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I have tested it in IE, of course it fails miserably, however the pre-compiled templates work (of course you need to fix the runtime.js as it contains schims for Arrya.isArray and Object.keys which seem to not have been tested (I have reported this in github, the author will fix it soon probably)). If you are looking for working with client side templates in IE environment you will probably need to pre-compile your templates on the server (done only once) and it will turn them into javascript functions. If you want to use those with requireJS you will need to decorate them a little bit, here is my decoration (this is done 'live' on the server as we are still in development phase and we change the templates a lot, so we provide a compiled template on request instead of pre-compiling them all, the pre-compilation should be done in the build however, before deploying):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;var a = jade.compile(data, {&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; compileDebug: false,&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; client: true&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;});&lt;br /&gt;a = 'define(["support/runtime"],function(jade){' + a.toString() + 'return { render: anonymous }; });';&lt;br /&gt;res.send(a);&lt;/blockquote&gt;And then on the client:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;require(['tpl/tplname'], funcrion(tpl) { var html = tpl.render(data)}); &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As seen, the returned fragment will be requireJS compliant js script, the dependency (runtime.js) also was altered so it does not leak in global namespace (i.e. I made it also requireJS compliant).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;In brief:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;it is possible to use client side templates (regular jade or pre-compiled, depending on how much you are willing to trace the issues in IE). On the performance side I have not yet completed the tests, regardless of the tests however the flexibility templates provide will compensate the slow down, especially with pre-compiled templates (those are very simple scripts and look a lot like the usual string concatenation method).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-23778196346456406?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=23778196346456406&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/23778196346456406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/23778196346456406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/09/javascript-client-side-templates.html' title='Javascript client-side templates'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-4121805032293580687</id><published>2011-09-05T15:22:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-05T15:22:06.143+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><title type='text'>Happy birthday, Freddie!</title><content type='html'>Google tribute to Freddie!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yTjZlLKgL8U/TmS-ncDQ-2I/AAAAAAAABFg/3tDdzotYDO0/s1600/freddie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yTjZlLKgL8U/TmS-ncDQ-2I/AAAAAAAABFg/3tDdzotYDO0/s1600/freddie.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;freddie doodle&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_207682331"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_207682332"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-4121805032293580687?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=4121805032293580687&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/4121805032293580687'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/4121805032293580687'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/09/happy-birthday-freddie.html' title='Happy birthday, Freddie!'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yTjZlLKgL8U/TmS-ncDQ-2I/AAAAAAAABFg/3tDdzotYDO0/s72-c/freddie.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-5834077180570656797</id><published>2011-09-02T11:57:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-09-02T11:57:23.917+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gnomedesktop'/><title type='text'>My favourite Firefox add-ons</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://self-issued.info/images/firefox_logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://self-issued.info/images/firefox_logo.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Over the years I have read many lists of recommended and/or favourite add-ons. For a while I have been using Chrome browser for my everyday browsing, however its lack of support for browsing habits that include 50+ tabs at a time, single window/multiple work spaces (i.e. panorama in Firefox) and other small details like the fact that there is no way I can make chrome open links in new background tab by default (very useful in Google Reader when items are opened with the 'v' shortcut) made me run back to Firefox. And made me look for nice add-ons to make my web experience more pleasant. So here goes my list. Notice that I have installed many many add-ons just to try them and those are the one that stuck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;AdBlock plus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: this one should be installed by default with every Firefox installation IMO. It not only blocks ads, it also does good job with unwanted flash ads, which at this point in my browsing habits makes flash block unneeded. However &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/"&gt;FlashBlock&lt;/a&gt; is also great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fast-dial-5721/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fast dial&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: One feature I miss from Chrome is the 'app' shortcuts (i.e. not really applications with off-line cache and stuff, but instead simple bookmarks to a URL on the web. Fast dial goes close enough, it is not that pretty (i.e. it does not display the supplied icon, instead it makes a screen grab of the web page by default, which might be a plus or a minus. For example I have had 3 apps in chrome that used the same google reader icon, which is confusing. On the other hand the icons look much nicer.) but does essentially the same thing. And you do not need to go to a web store. It comes very handy when you have multiple very similar bookmarks (like the example above with google reader and google reader player). Fast dial supports icons also, but you need to provide the URL for the icon manually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pixlr-grabber/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pixlr grabber&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/a&gt; Pixlr is a great image editor (much better than the one used by Google Images (aka Picassa). This add-on lets you grab part of any page and edit it in pixlr with one click. Similar to &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-screenshot-capture-/"&gt;Awesome Screenshot&lt;/a&gt; for Chrome and Firefox, but provides much better editing tools. On the other hand if you simple need to make annotations (like pointing out rendering issues to your web designer) awesome screenshot is the better choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quick-translator/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Quick translator&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: I use 6 human languages day to day, however I am not so good at all of them and sometimes I need a bit of help with a word or a phrase. Instead of opening new tab with google translate and copy/paste the word I use this tool. Also notice to Chrome - instead of offering to translate each page allow the user to select a text to be translated - less intrusive. Besides google translate is their product also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CDec8w3Z12o/TmCQfTWpijI/AAAAAAAABE0/91D1Ht10yUg/s1600/scrolls.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CDec8w3Z12o/TmCQfTWpijI/AAAAAAAABE0/91D1Ht10yUg/s1600/scrolls.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;New scrollbars&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stylish&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: I use it a lot to change the fonts in often visited sites mostly, I use it also to change web applications appearance (&lt;a href="http://userstyles.org/styles/38772/perfect-dark-google-reader"&gt;Perfect dark google reader&lt;/a&gt; is awesome! I swear!) I use it also to change the scrollbars of Firefox because I like smaller ones than those provided by the OS. The ones I currently use are displayed on the image.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scrapbook/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;ScrapBook&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: this one is probably the most useful for me, as it allows me to do most work. I use dropbox folder (actually encrypted dropbox folder but this is entirely different story) to synchronize my scrapbook across my computers, it would have been nice to have another option for this, for example using google account or other service, but dropbox is just fine for now, providing they do not loose my files. What I like about scrap book is that it allows me to annotate the saved pieces of document, it allows me to keep an entire document, it keeps link to the original URL so I can visit and check for updates (like on forums or blogs) and I have a copy of the content locally, so even if it disappears from the web I can still access it. It allows for folders, exports and other nifty tricks and it more useful than anything I have found thus far. For once I do not need to keep bookmarks to developer sites just to check 3 line of codes I keep forgetting. I just save the parts I like and I can go back to the URL whenever I need to check for updates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also use &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/"&gt;firebug&lt;/a&gt; a lot, but this is related too my job. I also use &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/"&gt;greasemonkey&lt;/a&gt; but I write my own scripts, I rarely even search for scripts for domains.

All those fancy loaders come down to simple iteration over list of files and loading them. Some of them try to be smarter and try to load "dependencies" and even check if the dependency is met when the file is loaded (RequireJS for example). Still, this is exactly the same because most developers do not separate each function in a file, instead the functionality is grouped. You end up with a big big description of global objects and its structures for 3 or 4 files. Too much work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I really expect to see coming is a loader, that based on actual usage loads the required module(s). This would mean:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;load scripts only when they are used (and not at the start, in some cases they might never be used in the application if its runtime)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;catch missing object references and postpone the execution for the time when the module is loaded, then re-run it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;This is of course more complicated, but still would be really nice.

Not that it is of much use without the sound. The sound controlling buttons on my HP mini however display the audio adjustment controls.

Believe it or not it is working SLOWER than chrome browser on fedora 14 on this very same netbook! This is really very discouraging! I don't know why is that, maybe the OS is tweaked for the Samsung chromebook, but still it is linux bellow the browser... I guess.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Other than that the brightness control works fine, sleep&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: inherit;"&gt;(and at this point I have tried the sleep/resume trick and it failed me... so I am finishing this post from my Fedora running Chrome)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is NOT working at least on the HP Mini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still think somehow believe that the idea to NOT have an OS to worry about and constantly upgrade is great, however they do not seem to be there yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chrome OS:&lt;b&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;-1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Chrome Droid Sans', 'Droid Sans Fallback', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Chrome Droid Sans', 'Droid Sans Fallback', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-3129858645317961207?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=3129858645317961207&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/3129858645317961207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/3129858645317961207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/06/chromium-os.html' title='Chromium OS'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-2304319304945019687</id><published>2011-06-07T10:58:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-06-07T10:58:38.248+03:00</updated><title type='text'>And while laughing at Apple...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0zZzL8NUJrY/Te3ZzF31wcI/AAAAAAAAA7w/CfndU1ETinY/s1600/Android_vs_apple.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0zZzL8NUJrY/Te3ZzF31wcI/AAAAAAAAA7w/CfndU1ETinY/s1600/Android_vs_apple.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-2304319304945019687?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=2304319304945019687&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/2304319304945019687'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/2304319304945019687'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/06/and-while-laughing-at-apple.html' title='And while laughing at Apple...'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0zZzL8NUJrY/Te3ZzF31wcI/AAAAAAAAA7w/CfndU1ETinY/s72-c/Android_vs_apple.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-5026548760682522576</id><published>2011-06-07T10:43:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-06-07T10:43:55.892+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Apple catching up</title><content type='html'>Oh wow, yawn...

My stills are not very good (the camera while 8Mpix is not that great on Xperia X10i).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Au5DBE5vHnPSIMz-3lq2eg?feat=directlink"&gt;Kaylaka&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaylaka" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xKmONzj83lE/Tdze5E68y9I/AAAAAAAAA54/BTcC7reNAbc/s1600/DSC_0148.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I was in Pleven for the previous four days off ( the ones that are related to Easter celebration, for my great luck I am not&amp;nbsp;religious&amp;nbsp;so I just take the days off and go somewhere instead of spending the time in preparation for&amp;nbsp;Christianity's&amp;nbsp;insanity ).&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday we went for a long hike &amp;nbsp;in Kaylaka, very beautiful place. I really like Varna, but their park ( near Pleven ) is much better than the Sea garden in Varna. However if you come from the shore lines be warned, the air is very very dry in the country, I have had big issue with my respiratory system. even with that it was a great experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small green area near Mall Varna:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pnbnh2xwF7o/TdzezPRWrFI/AAAAAAAAA5o/ugBEfIFtR6g/s1600/DSC_0156.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="360" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pnbnh2xwF7o/TdzezPRWrFI/AAAAAAAAA5o/ugBEfIFtR6g/s640/DSC_0156.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This was a few weeks ago, if you look at the right direction and you are deaf you can almost imagine you are in a nice place to live. Anyways just a few meters on the right there is a lot of traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seaside Observatory:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IPGPPjqu7Mo/TdzewWenSqI/AAAAAAAAA4c/ls1BWMbgSXg/s1600/DSC_0157.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IPGPPjqu7Mo/TdzewWenSqI/AAAAAAAAA4c/ls1BWMbgSXg/s1600/DSC_0157.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Last week I moved to my new place, some 400 meters from the sea garden in Varna. A walk in it is always&amp;nbsp;pleasant&amp;nbsp;at all time of the day or night. Still I would suggest you to start around the 'golden' hour and continue from there on until the sunset is complete. It is adorable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last one: the beach at 8AM this morning:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1682945715"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="225" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DHuS_fBVbSI/TdzerM36p_I/AAAAAAAAA4U/Fxr1sKpqxJI/s400/DSC_0159.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/rqUuC580LExVtZC384-FxA?feat=directlink"&gt;South beach at 8AM &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;It is still May, so there were almost no people on the beach at 8AM (of course there were some, there always are some, even in the winter), but the bars and bbqs around the beach are still closed so it is quiet and calm and you can just lay down on the sand, close your eyes and listen to the birds. I have not notices before but some birds are singing very complex melodies, I was surprised nicely by it. It will remind you of some classical compositions, which is not wonder, many classical melodies have been inspired by the nature. Note that at this time (today) it is still a bit cold on the beach at 8 AM, so you might want to stay with your clothes on. Or not, depending on how well you&amp;nbsp;tolerate&amp;nbsp;the cold wind. I took my clothes off but I felt cold almost all the time, up until I left around 9:20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is also a short video, this is a garden people living in a&amp;nbsp;densely&amp;nbsp;populated area made for themselves to enjoy the wonders of nature in the spring, it is really beautiful. An old woman approached me while I was making the video and said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;It is very beautiful, make a video and put it on the Internet.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this is what I am doing. You can glance her in the video, for only a bit of a second.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="510" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/agnVrN9XmTg" width="640"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-8710220513569853806?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=8710220513569853806&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8710220513569853806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8710220513569853806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/05/pictures.html' title='Pictures'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xKmONzj83lE/Tdze5E68y9I/AAAAAAAAA54/BTcC7reNAbc/s72-c/DSC_0148.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-4479335775343610568</id><published>2011-05-18T22:34:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-05-18T22:34:43.226+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='javascript'/><title type='text'>The evolution of Javascript</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bg2.msrv.store.bg/d-prdimages/org/35841.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://bg2.msrv.store.bg/d-prdimages/org/35841.jpg" width="225" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;During the weekend I ended up cleaning up a mess at my parents' house and I dug in a pile of old books. One of those books was 'Programming with JavaScript' I have bought in 2001. Out of curiosity I sat for a little while and turned the pages to see what was the level of language description in such a book circa 2001.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author is left unnamed (actually the authorship is signed as 'collective work by SoftPress team).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The&amp;nbsp;rudimentary&amp;nbsp;level of the language description is not surprising, nor the fact that constructor function methods as defined as global functions and then assigned to the object (which is at least a bad practice). What surprises me is the development suggested for javascript. Pretty much all of the examples lead to one exclusive usage for the language and it is form validation. Even today, ten years later no one relies on javascript for form validation just because anyone can skip it, even 10 years old. Why then it was so accented in this small book and why it was suggested that this is the only practical usage of the language?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can only guess that the engines in IE5/Netscape3/4 were so slow it really was the only practical usage of the language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today it took me only 5 minutes to convert a slider application from jQuery to Mootools. Complete with animation and all. It is working in Firefox 3, 3.5, 3.6, 4, Chrome 7-12, Internet Explorer 7,8 and 9. I wonder, how much time will it take to write the same thing, working across browsers, 10 years ago?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also remembered that I saw my first javascript driven animation in the browser around that time, it was working only in IE and it was timeout driven style altering algorithm (basically the same thing we do today) and it was written very expressively with one main function in global scope and several function inside the main function scope, it was using closures and it was using native type augmentation, which I think was very advances for that age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, don't buy this book, it is worthless these days. One advantage it has over the modern books is that is explains in details the CGI&amp;nbsp;metaphor&amp;nbsp;very clearly and provides details on the internal working of a program using this interface, something you can learn today but not in a javascript book!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.boundlessfreebies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Pro-JavaScript-with-MooTools.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.boundlessfreebies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Pro-JavaScript-with-MooTools.jpg" width="258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Talking of books I took a brief (but complete) look at Pro JavaScript with MooTools. Unfortunately there is nothing 'Pro' in the book itself. It starts with too in depth introduction of the types in javascript, somewhat deep look at the functions and objects and then complex code is thrown at the reader without even explaining it all, just 'the interesting and important' parts of it, which I find rude and unprofessional, a code example should ALWAYS be explained in details and the whole of it, otherwise it is waste of book space to use examples if just a single row in it will be important and explained. Other than that the book only covers the class system and briefly mentions the different mixin types in mootools, something you can read and understand from the docs and it takes only 5 rows, not a whole chapter. After that it gets boring until the end of the book, Element, Style and other parts of the toolkit are depicted in&amp;nbsp;unnecessary&amp;nbsp;details, details that one can easily fond in the documentation. Also there is nothing advanced in the book itself and I don;t see how any advanced technique can be learned from it, providing there is not a single example demonstrating such technique. All in all the book is not worth reading if you do not know javascript, it is not meant to be a learning tool for javascript. However if you know javascript and can read English you should not read it either as it does not provide any new information regarding neither javascript nor mootools. Actually the only interesting part in the whole book is the mention and explanation of the 'parent' property of the extended 'classes'. However this can be read on so many places online, so the book is rendered completely useless. Oh and by the way the last chapter is also completely insane, birds eyes look at the server side javascript programing without any real life examples nor advices. Really annoying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, how did the language evolved? Well, the language did not, the browser evolved. And today it is a really great tool as well as really really great development platform, I encourage you to learn javascript and use a solid framework ( regardless of what you read online (that the micro frameworks are the future) they are not - most of those (like 90%) are not working correctly across browsers, the top class libraries are tested and do work! ) like jQuery or MooTools (I am not sure which to recommend because I do not speak jquery, I only speak pure JavaScript and MooTools) and just explore the possibilities of a modern browser. Yes, it is true that your application might not work in IE or Opera or some old Safari browser. But hey! &lt;a href="http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-write-yourself-music-player-in.html"&gt;I wrote a music player in 20 minutes in chrome&lt;/a&gt;!! So can you! And endless other applications! And it is really easy! For fun and for profit, javascript is your friend and is here to stay! So take the time and learn a bit about it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-4479335775343610568?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=4479335775343610568&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/4479335775343610568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/4479335775343610568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/05/evolution-of-javascript.html' title='The evolution of Javascript'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-7188266838629628630</id><published>2011-05-10T21:52:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-05-10T21:52:59.027+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fun'/><title type='text'>Нотово 'риалити шоу'</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://agronet.bg/images/stories/drugi-snimki-2010/farmer-tyrsi-jena.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://agronet.bg/images/stories/drugi-snimki-2010/farmer-tyrsi-jena.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Така.

However it is kind of impossible for me to host all my projects on github and constantly sync the files to local file system just to test the code on local embedded device (the device mounts the files over NFS, there is no way I would make a change on Cloud9 service, git push to github, git pull to local copy for every simple change in the code I made, it is just too much work). I needed a way to run the editor somewhere on the local network. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For a while now it does not play well with node 0.4. Today I asked Google if there is a way around that. It happened so that there is a very simple way. &lt;a href="http://blog.area256.com/?p=944"&gt;You can follow the instructions from here&lt;/a&gt; (I have tested it and it all worked well). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have also added some features to the music player in the browser, but I have more ideas (I hope it will not ravels into full fledged enormous memory hog it can easily become if I get carried away). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had a problem with the music playback though, I dislike basses so I wanted to lower them. Maybe there is a way to do this in JavaScript with the audio API, but it sounds like too much work. Instead I wanted to regulate the playback tone volumes globally, so I used &lt;a href="http://www.thedigitalmachine.net/alsaequal.html"&gt;AlsaEqual&lt;/a&gt;. The installation is very simple and works well, just follow the instructions. I used the global setting because I hate basses on everything, including movies and I was not sure if Chrome can play back sound on selected card. You can adjust the tones in the console: alsamixer -D equal will do the trick. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh and by the way on cloud9 development there is a great feature - JS beautify! It works great, helps with very complex code (like the one I use to write when creating complex html with Element in mootools) and is configurable. Try it out! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-459509520167688451?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=459509520167688451&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/459509520167688451'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/459509520167688451'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/05/cloud9-local-and-alsa-equalizer.html' title='cloud9 local and alsa equalizer'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-2077995032325640516</id><published>2011-05-07T00:58:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2011-05-07T15:35:25.468+03:00</updated><title type='text'>How to write yourself a music player in 20 minutes</title><content type='html'>I am working as JavaScript developer. &lt;div&gt;I spend most of my work day in the browser (now days 'the browser' being Chrome).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I read my emails.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I read my news.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I talk to my colleagues, friends and family.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I do research.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I code.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I entertain myself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All in the browser. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;However I like to listen to music sometimes. I have a big collection of my favorite music collected over the past 12 years, however to be able to filter it and listen to it I need a separate program, a 'music player'. I asked myself: 'Why should I use an application I cannot modify. Isn't it in the spirit of OpenSource to be able to use something you can read, change and use however you like?'.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I do use open source music player, however it is written in C++ and GTK, language and library I do not understand very well. It does not decode the stream, and I am not really interested in that part. Chrome can decode audio in at least mp3 and ogg formats, so why not use the browser to play back my files. But then again I should be able to display my collection and filter it. How hard could that be to do in the browser. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not hard at all. Enter OmniGrid. It is able to display your data in a table, sort it and filter it, all it require is that your data is loaded as JSON valid object. My regular music player is Rhythmbox, so I can download the xml file, convert the data with DOM however I like it and load it in the grid view, then filter it. It is very simple and straight forward. I will also need an audio tag and pause button. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So here it is:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/TcRxtug1bCI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/hguZAoJHoXc/s800/Screenshot.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 625px; height: 707px;" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;OmniGrid requires mootools and mootools-more (of course not the whole of them, you can custom build for it), but it makes the application code very very small! Mine is 117 rows only and most o it is to create the tags and bind events to it because I do not like writing html files, I like creating them with JS on domready. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I encourage you try and write whatever you use on your desktop that is not available yet as web application and share it, so we can finally move on from the desktop paradigm and be able to live online and on whatever laptop/computer we are currently having. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I for example feel pretty awful when my laptop breaks or need to be taken for cleaning, this whole thing can be painless if my digital life was stored on a server and accessible from a web interface, then all i would need would be a browser. Kind of the idea behind '&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/chromeos/features.html"&gt;Chrome OS&lt;/a&gt;'. I like it. I agree that maybe not all our data should be on Google's cloud, but I have my own server. I could just store my things on my server. On an encrypted partition. Yeah... and then I could just use any laptop. Any that is not with key loggers on it though...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;UPDATE: &lt;a href="https://gist.github.com/960458"&gt;The code for this small App is available here&lt;/a&gt;. It cannot be used as it is, because it assumes you have your rhythmbox DB file in the same directory and assumes the directly structure and your system user name, however it is pretty easy to modify. Enjoy. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-2077995032325640516?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=2077995032325640516&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/2077995032325640516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/2077995032325640516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-write-yourself-music-player-in.html' title='How to write yourself a music player in 20 minutes'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/TcRxtug1bCI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/hguZAoJHoXc/s72-c/Screenshot.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-3499450743654639715</id><published>2011-05-01T16:00:00.006+03:00</published><updated>2011-05-02T20:59:44.353+03:00</updated><title type='text'>This is the time we live in</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/Tb1ap25CkjI/AAAAAAAAA2k/CKEX_ktBCjI/s800/photocarlsagan1954.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 294px; height: 343px;" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;First &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'd like to mention the inspirations for this post, number one being of course late &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan"&gt;Carl Sagan&lt;/a&gt;, the first face of the science I have met when I was very young, barely understanding English (my first language being Bulgarian). I was then hooked by this, in my opinion, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos:_A_Personal_Voyage"&gt;most profound and wide introduction to the scientific world&lt;/a&gt;, the most interesting and important for a kid enlisting of all the achievements made for such a short period of time, considering the thousands of years we have been around. It was then when I knew I want to be part of this scientific advancement, I wanted to see us, human race, wandering trough the stars, exploring, looking for anything that awaits up there in the vastness of space and time. It was Sagan, who lighted up my mind and calibrated my point of view for this world, wonderful an magical even without the superstition and spirituality and 'real' magic that floats aroun&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;d us, obscuring so many real and great ways we can admire and contribute to the miracles of science! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VtnpBY8UVd0/Tb1fRwe37qI/AAAAAAAAA2w/vFX9XIrosdc/s400/jill%2Btarter.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601738270195576482" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I like to thank also &lt;a href="http://www.seti.org/page.aspx?pid=310"&gt;Jill Tarter&lt;/a&gt;, the passionate researcher, who has devoted her career to &lt;a href="http://www.seti.org/"&gt;SETI&lt;/a&gt;. I was amazed and inspired by her &lt;a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_tarter_s_call_to_join_the_seti_search.html"&gt;TED talk&lt;/a&gt; few years back and I truly believe it takes courage and passion in science to constrain your life to such a wonderful idea as to find the proof that we are not alone in this enormous universe. I hope the institute will get back on its feet, I hope there are still people who are willing to help considering the immense importance of the work those dedicated scientist are doing, regardless of the fact that more and more pressure is building up against spending money on such research, I still believe that even more money is wasted on stupid things, much more money, which used otherwise would have improved our lives beyond anything imaginable. Yet those people having those resource are not willing to help, so I urge anyone who can help to do it now, because as Carl said it - we need to take a look in the future, we need to embrace our unimportance and have the tiniest vision of tomorrow. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also would like to thank the people behind the wonderful adaptation of Sagan's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_(film)"&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt; for the wide screen, which inspired me to give a second thought on mathematics and physics, two disciplines I was not very interested in when I was in high school and in the university, I was barely understanding it, as much as to pass my exams. Now I understand the beauty and importance of those and without blaming it to the teachers and assistants trying to inspire us I now recognize it was a big mistake to just presenting the scientific knowledge without first trying to present its role and importance and beauty and application to the young minds. I am certainly hoping this will change soon and will produce a new generation of passionate scientists. Meanwhile I hope we will see more positive scientists as main characters in movies. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next are all people that are tributing Carl Sagan all over the Internet, especially the wonderful clips from the young fellow over &lt;a href="http://milkywaymusings.com/"&gt;Milky Way Musings&lt;/a&gt; made me such a great impression. If you have the time and you like Sagan, please go and watch the clips. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also want to thank the people behind the chrome and firefox projects for making the web experience such a joy as to allow me and countless other people to use the World wide web as easily and enjoyable as possible, which on the other hand inspired us to contribute in any way possible. It would have been a terrible experience without your work and I would have not discovered so much without it, so thank you guys and gals for your hard work! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-3499450743654639715?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=3499450743654639715&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/3499450743654639715'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/3499450743654639715'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/05/this-is-time-we-live-in.html' title='This is the time we live in'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/Tb1ap25CkjI/AAAAAAAAA2k/CKEX_ktBCjI/s72-c/photocarlsagan1954.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-8153149288783076444</id><published>2011-04-30T21:54:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-04-30T22:11:58.428+03:00</updated><title type='text'>SETI shutting down</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://astroguyz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/seti40home93ae8dec9286.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 480px; height: 360px;" src="http://astroguyz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/seti40home93ae8dec9286.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The news is all over the Internet - SETI is shutting down ATA (Allen Telescope Array) due to lack of funding.&lt;br /&gt;I know at least one great (dead) person that would be really upset because of this - Carl Sagan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://malwkgad.livejournal.com/135609.html"&gt;I happen to liked the idea&lt;/a&gt; and while some other (great) men (you know I am talking about you, Hawking!) are warning us to stop looking for trouble, I still think it is right inside your genes to be adventurous and look for the answers. Spirituality and religion did not bring it up, so maybe the ETI would? But first we need to find at least a single tiny minuscule proof of its existence. And maybe then we all can realize our real place in the vastness of the cosmos, our insignificance and awe in admiration to the miracles of the universe. And yet we have not succeeded in it. Instead mostly we are worried about the rising of the food prices and gas prices and all sort of other prices.&lt;div&gt;They need 5 million US dollars. This is not even half  the price of the house of some asshole actor in some shitty production designed to distract us for less than two hours. And yet we prefer the distraction. Sometimes I think even such finding as proofs of extra-terrestrial intelligence will not be sufficient to unite us. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Still the solace remains that thanks to the technological and scientific advancements we get to live twice as long as our great great great parents. Maybe we will use this time wisely and start thinking more about other things, other than the rising prices.... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://malwkgad.livejournal.com/211736.html"&gt;Farewell SETI!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-8153149288783076444?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=8153149288783076444&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8153149288783076444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/8153149288783076444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2011/04/seti-shutting-down.html' title='SETI shutting down'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-4335275214923850481</id><published>2011-04-29T13:47:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2011-04-29T13:49:33.457+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><title type='text'>שקוף</title><content type='html'>Such a sweet song and such a sweet voice.

Честно си казвам - хареса ми се. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Днес реших да си я пусна, пиша 'Софи Маринова Устата' в кученцето (a.k.a. Google) и първият резултат е 'Точно ти' във vbox7 - "конкурентния" видео сайт.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Няма да казвам, че качеството на клипчето е отвратително, то се подразбира, ние (българите) като крадем идеи, винаги ги осираме. Направи ми впечатление обаче че песента е със "субтитри" (явно за глухите почитатели на Софи Маринова) и какво бе смайването ми когато текста на субтитрите се оказа нещо съвсем различно от това, което всъщност пее Софи. Следва пример:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-family: 'lucida grande'; font-style: italic; "&gt;точно ти, с горчиво вкусни с грешни дни ненаситни устни&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;div&gt;Пример 2: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Влюбена в пустиня и летни дни, ето ме&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;И си викам : "абе да не би глухите фенове на Софи да са писали субтитрите?". После се досещам, че  макар да няма смисъл на български така написаното изречение, може пък ромската общност в България да си го разбира така. Но всъщност предполагам, че авторите на субтитрите просто не мислят, а карат по слух, като преводачите едно време. А текста пък е както следва:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;i&gt;точно ти, със горчиво-вкусни, с грешни и ненаситни устни&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Влюбена в усмихнати летни дни, ето ме&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Поне на нормален български де. И хич да не е, Софи може да не е с перфектен български, но така или иначе едва ли си пише текстовете сама. Но пък е талантлива, на мен ми харесва как пее а и песничката е забавна. Това, което не е забавно е, как на национално ниво се изпростява. Но да не ви дреме, нали ще сме в 5* хотел и ще си мислим за любов...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;А да, и клипчето е яко. Няма да го сложа от Vbox защото са олигофрени, вместо това, ето го в YouTube. Даже ако сте се записали да гледате webm/mp4 видео, вече така е ви излезе директно на страницата, без флаш. Яко а:) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br

Основният проблем с него е, че не се ползва удобно в хоризонтално положение, а аз обичам да си лежа (вероятно защото и стола ползван за компютъра е твърде нисък или масата твърде ниска или не знам... абе не е удобно) и в него вариант ми е по-лесно да чета.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Купих си "на фантазия" новото от Бард - Joe Haldeman - Camouflage. Оказа се доста добра, На един дъх я прочетох  (почти, почнах я вчера на работа, днес я довърших). Чете се много лесно и е структурирана на три пласта, което я прави дори още по привлекателна. Препоръчвам я на всички почитатели на фантастиката (най-вече sci-fi). &lt;a href="http://www.nebulaawards.com/index.php/awards/nebulas" target="_blank" title="Best Novel: Camouflage by Joe Haldeman"&gt;Романът е печелил Небюла за 2005 година&lt;/a&gt; и може да бъде закупен от &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0441012523?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=nebs-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0441012523" target="_blank"&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt; или от &lt;a href="http://www.bard.bg/categories/?cid=30&amp;amp;BookID=1131" target="_blank" title="линк към книгата в бард"&gt;Бард&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Междувременно ако някой е пропуснал &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thehugoawards.org/?p=146" target="_blank" title="Best Short Story: “Tideline” by Elizabeth Bear (Asimov’s June 2007)"&gt;&lt;em&gt;спечелилия тази година кратък разказ Хюго&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; веднага да го направи. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-7190886388795283654?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=7190886388795283654&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/7190886388795283654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/7190886388795283654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2008/11/camouflage.html' title='camouflage/камуфлаж'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-3488932670472060550</id><published>2008-11-16T23:36:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-11-18T21:30:53.017+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movies'/><title type='text'>boobees</title><content type='html'>Actually I was about to talk about two films I saw today:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482603/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/images_5/SpaceChimpsPoster.jpg" alt="Space chimps poster" align="middle" height="486" hspace="15" width="325" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Space chimps&lt;/em&gt; - pretty stupid one, really no one should ever see this if older than 3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1078188/"&gt;&lt;img alt="Boy A poster" src="http://www.cinematical.com/media/2008/05/boya1.jpg" align="absmiddle" height="500" hspace="15" width="338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Boy A&lt;/em&gt; - UK. This should say enough. I mean, the British accent is really really bothering me, most of the time I was completely unable to understand what the f*ck are they talking about. They even say f*ck differently - like fock or something. The R is completely missing (but of cou*se, this is b*itish English). Being said that the film is based on the novel of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Trigell" target="_blank" title="LInk to Jonathan Trigell entry in Wikipedia"&gt;Jonathan Trigell&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_A" target="_blank" title="Link to wikipedia entry about the novel Boy A"&gt;also named Boy A&lt;/a&gt;) I expected it to be interesting. And it was, it made much more sense than 99 percent of the US productions. But compared to "&lt;a title="Link to my entry about this movie (in Bulgarian)" target="_blank" href="http://malwkgad.livejournal.com/57153.html"&gt;No night is too long&lt;/a&gt;" it was not such a brilliant work. Meaning, without having read the book, I believe the scenario translation of the novel was not that good. Still the movie is a good one (except the already mentioned flaw, namely the British accent).&lt;br /&gt;If you are questioning yourself about the title of this post, it was a reminder of me for the wonderful boobees of a friend of mine, which I haven't seen recently (I know, it is a shame). The girl in the film have had such nice ones. Like this friend of mine... hum.. wondering what is she doing now. Probably sharing them with her husband. Again, such a pity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-3488932670472060550?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=3488932670472060550&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/3488932670472060550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/3488932670472060550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2008/11/boobees.html' title='boobees'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-216991640722412446</id><published>2008-11-16T11:31:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2008-11-16T11:35:08.168+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dork'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gnomedesktop'/><title type='text'>know your meme</title><content type='html'>There is this meme virus in the Gnome planet, so I was infected.

Finally I managed to understand why kiba was not working - some stupid things happens with it's schema files, someone has to learn how to use gconf! After days of experimenting with the settings of beryl and kiba finally I got where I wanted to be, the perfect desktop (IMHO).&lt;br /&gt;Here are some screen shots.&lt;br /&gt;Pictures 1 and 2: Bean-up (windows create)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/122/287019905_b068d968e4_m.jpg" alt="bean up" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/103/287019664_b16a6f2183.jpg" alt="beam up" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pic 3: Burn (window close)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/106/287020047_f18d68fc4c.jpg" alt="burn" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pic 4: Magic lamp (window minimize/maximize)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/99/287020227_418deb4205.jpg" alt="magic lamp" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately there is no slowdown option for the animations in kiba-dock but basically I set the physics as follows:&lt;br /&gt;Elasticity: 0,17&lt;br /&gt;Friction: 1850&lt;br /&gt;Inertia: 1,28&lt;br /&gt;K (what is this?): 2,13&lt;br /&gt;Throw gravity: 2,00&lt;br /&gt;Gravity Multiplier: 840,00&lt;br /&gt;Launchers type: dock&lt;br /&gt;Mouseover effect pulse with zoom factor of 1.26 and exec pulse option set to on.&lt;br /&gt;This results in icons not bouncing around like insane and still pretty good effects with good responsibility on user interaction.

I use Fedora Core 5 and as probably everybody knows it supports AIGLX and compiz trough a dedicated repository (&lt;a href="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/projects/aiglx"&gt;link here&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;br /&gt;First of all - compiz as packed in that repository does not have the scale plug-in. This issue has been addressed in earlier post on this blog. As of Fedora Core 6 the AIGLX and compiz packages are part of the core. This mean you can have them without any effort. The scale plug-in is back (as of the change log, I did not test this as I am still with core 5) What makes me anxious is that it comes with the default window decorator (gnome-window-decorator) and some minor patches to allow key bindings to act like in metacity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;-no way to theme this&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;-no way to move the buttons of the window decorator from the right to the left corner, and still this is possible in metacity! this means step back!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In previous post I have made an example how do get cgwd and install it on f&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;edora core 5. As it has some issues with the newer version (being not compatible with compiz vanilla thus no plug-in works except the legacy one) it was not the best out there but still allowed greater flexibility in themes. &lt;br /&gt;This was all good until there were newer and greater plug-ins out there. In the previous post on my blog some links were pasted - all of theme pointing to different resources for the beautification of the desktop. &lt;br /&gt;Today I used svn to download the beryl source tree and compile it: here are the steps&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;svn co svn://svn.beryl-project.org/beryl/trunk/ beryl&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Fedora Core 5 you will need newer intltool to compile the components. A source RPM package from FC6 can be used. Just download it and recompile it (rpmbuild -bb intltool.spec) and then update the rpm. If you want to keep the compiz around just in case you do not like the beryl offer use some prefix different from /usr&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/beryl &amp;&amp; make&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will need to compile and install (as root) beryl-core, beryl-settings, beryl-plugins, beryl-manager, emerald and emerald-themes to get the basic functionality. Additionally beryl-dbus, emerald-themes-repo and others can be used (sorry, still not sure what they are used for)&lt;br /&gt;You will need to ass the /opt/beryl prefix to your $PATH and to include the beryl lib path to ldconfig. For some reason the /opt/beryl/lib subfolders are not used by ld so you'll need to include /opt/beryl/lib/beryl also if beryl does not start. &lt;br /&gt;The configuration panel of beryl  is so big it took me over 1/2 hour to read all the options. Real round edges are now working correctly. lots of new and really interesting plug-ins are available. The most interesting for me was that now you can type in the windows while scale/zoom are activated! Also it is possible to assign different effects to different types of windows. The Blur plug-in is working slow on my 855GM card but I assume it is faster on Nvigia/Ati. The water plug-in is not working at all (again - the old hardware). Emerald (the window decorator) can use the cgwd themes without any changes so it is compatible. I will try to make a RPM for this but until then this can be used in order to try the latest and greatest from the desktop eye-candy. &lt;br /&gt;Bdock can be used for docking some applications if beryl is used in a bare desktop environment - it is probably useless in Gnome/KDE. &lt;br /&gt;The Mac lovers will greatly awe the magic lamp animation. The burn and the beam up animation effects are probably the most interesting but are too slow on my hardware. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So - it is a great piece of software. Give a try! Now the only thing we are waiting for is a really intriguing GTK engine to mimic the Aqua look and we are there where the Mac owners pretend they are for years now in the UI. What will be next? I do not know....but I'll keep pray for the best!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-116205863958733389?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=116205863958733389&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/116205863958733389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/116205863958733389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2006/10/beryl-and-eye-candy-factory.html' title='Beryl and the eye-candy factory'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-116160634556850901</id><published>2006-10-23T15:22:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-10-23T15:25:45.580+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Eye-candy - present and future</title><content type='html'>Here are some links I have found yesterday/today that illustrate the power of the modern desktop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://macslow.thepimp.net/clips/blurred-wobble.avi"&gt;Real time blur&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx9FgLr9oTk"&gt;Youtube video demo of XGL touchscreen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQkSObRtw0o"&gt;Xgl on touchscreen part 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/guimockups.php?mockup=xgl"&gt;mockups of effects possible with Compiz/Xgl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://jimmac.musichall.cz/guimockups.php?mockup=xgl2"&gt;Compiz mockups part 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://macslow.thepimp.net/projects/lowfat/preview-1.ogg"&gt;LowFat - file manager mockup&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=3854&amp;size=big&amp;cat="&gt;Here is a screenshot of a GTK theme/engine taking advantage of the new GTK mac-menu bar and the DYnDYn dynamic shading engine&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this is enough for today.

Some success have been reached. The new GtkToolBar can be seen &lt;a href="http://static.flickr.com/120/273483860_44883e01b4_o.png"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/120/273483860_44883e01b4_m.jpg" alt="the GtkToolBar" /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Ubuntu forum the new GTK macmenu patch is available and it is now completed with a nifty little panel applet that hosts the menu bar, it has been fixed to correctly hosts the reappearing windows (like gaim's main window and the f-spot window). The patch is available for gtk 2.8 and 2.10 and the applet works in both 214 and 2.16 of the gnome desktop environment. They can be seen in the screen shot at the end of the post. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new software I have installed the last days is called democracy player. Here is the &lt;a href="http://www.getdemocracy.com/"&gt;official website.&lt;/a&gt; My first impression is very positive. As a software it is really damn good and practical. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. It supports RSS for video broadcasting and podcasting, also it can search YouTube, Google videos and Yahoo! video. It uses the xine-lib software to play the downloaded files. Unfortunately the xine-lib cannot play the audio in the flv files. It is documented that the support for h264 is not working due to a bug in the xine-lib but I am successfully playing such files with totem-xine for a long time (the HD trailers from the Apple site for example) and now it plays ok in the democracy. I guess they have made the tests with the xine-lib packaged from livna. I use another repo. &lt;br /&gt;A screen shot can be seen &lt;a href="http://static.flickr.com/103/274660976_1218d965c2_o.png"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/103/274660976_1218d965c2_m.jpg" alt="democracy" /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd say the concept of the application of using already existing software and to make a new one that greatly improves the user experience is like a beacon in the outer space, but hey, this might be just the beginning. I really like the idea of using the mozilla rendering engine, the xine-lib playback capabilities and the download management of python (including torrents) and deliver the great user experience is inspiring. Try it and you'll notice how better the Linux applications might be than expected. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last news is about a new GTK engine. It is a fork of the original murrine engine written by cimi86. It includes the long ago talked functionality of random widget graphics i.e. every widget gets it's own drawing schema, so widgets of the same class look a bit different. The difference is random and the buttons are still recognizable. Here is the &lt;a href="http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=47474&amp;forummode=2&amp;forumpage=0&amp;forumexplevel=0&amp;forumthread=168907#c168909"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for the original announce. As you can see in the thread the theme using this engine is 2 to 3 times slower than the original murrine based theme but it is caused by the Cairo graphics library. Let's hope there will be improvements soon. I really like the idea and back there (aprox. 2 years ago) when I read the blogs with such ideas I told myself OMG it will be great but after a while it understood it wont be such working prototype soon. And now there it is! Isn't this just GREAT? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;PS. As the new panel applet for the patched GTK is working I'm totally convicted. No way back to the menus on every single window damn it! I even doubt I'll switch soon to the Fedora Core 6 distribution as it might not work as well. Also fedora does ship compiz but does not ship gset-compiz. Whatta heck!!??!! How am I supposed to set the properties, using gconf-editor?

Опитвах се изпаднал почти в патос да достигна висините на титулувания за най-добър  Aqua интерфейс. Само че някъде по пътя явно се изгубих. Може би не умея добре да следя набелязаните цели, а може би просто не съм сигурен каква е целта, но е факт че от простото рисуване на нови и предполагаемо по-добри елементи преминах към четене на кода (gtk+-2.x) и снощи достигнах климакса на лудостта си - поставяне на код вътре в готови и работещи приложения за да ми отпечатват йерархията на активираните елементи/уиджети/ (&lt;em&gt;за любопитните, използвах обикновен hook който извиква gtk_widget_path() при &lt;strike&gt;всеки&lt;/strike&gt; почти всеки event (явно съм слаб програмист или слабо разбирам GTK) предизвикан от потребителя)&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Резултатите? С доста голяма точност са възможни стилизирания на определени уиджети в определени програми. Въпросът е на каква цена става това. И кому е нужно. &lt;br /&gt;През тези няколко дни (почти седмица) агония в преследване на намирането на начин да се докопвам до точно определени елементи, да се справям с инженерните решения на някой и друг програмист (специално тези разработили графичния интерфейс на epiphany просто са надминали себе си от всякъде!), тотално омазване на дистрибуцията ми (Fedora 5) с всевъзможни закърпени програми &lt;em&gt;(при това с кръпки писани от мен - лудост и самоубийство!, аз все пак не съм програмист, нито имам опит в тези неща, вероятно по-разумно беше да направя виртуална машина на която да тествам или поне някакъв chroot, не знам как е най-добре да се постъпи, във всеки случай нямам отделна машина за тестовете, тук ако някой може да даде съвет ще е хубаво)&lt;/em&gt; и безсънни нощи преправяне на gtkrc файла и тест и преправяне и тест и преправяне.... стигнах до извода, че един човек сам не би могъл да се справи, дори и да е на пълен работен ден над това. Следва да потърся помощ може би, но от малкото което съм виждал като отношение по коментарите из gnome-look не съм очарован от идеята, там явно всеки е за себе си, което е малко разочароващо. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Другият проблем се оказаха иконите. &lt;br /&gt;Аз използвам набор икони събрани от 3 комплекта, OSX, Nuvola и Aero плюс няколко директно "откраднати" от Mac OSX. До колкото ми е известно, лиценза на art-works на Епъл не позволява използването му по този начин, но нали съм българче, не се съобразих. Знам какво си мислят някои сега - предател! И аз дори си го мисля понякога, но като погледна безбройните "снимки" на десктоп средите въртящи се из нета (например linux.org.ru , linux-bg.org и т.н.) гледам гледам и.... дървения братче. И то здрава. В HIG за Гном има една сравнителна таблица - the Globe иконата показана как се използва в Джава, Аква и Гном. Познайте коя е най-впечатляваща. Е, поне не сме по-зле и от Уиндоус... ( &lt;a href="http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/icons.html"&gt;линк&lt;/a&gt; ) Иконата на Гном изглежда някак.... убита, неясни цветове,  на фона на тях твърде силно изразена светлосянка ( лъскаво ли е топчето ааа?). За цветовете има обяснение (&lt;a href="http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/design.html#hsv"&gt;линк&lt;/a&gt; и &lt;a href="http://www.vischeck.com/examples/"&gt;линк&lt;/a&gt;) но назрява следния въпрос у мен: аз да имам някакви проблеми с цветоусещането? &lt;br /&gt;-не&lt;br /&gt;Тогава защо ми се налага да виждам както би виждал някой с такива проблеми? И ако той вижда по този начин така или иначе какъв е проблемът да направим иконите цветнички? Идеята тук е да не използваме в стиловете икони с еднаква или твърде сходна форма, но с различен цветови състав защото рискуваме някой с проблемно цветоусещане да не ги различи. Отваряме обаче gnome стила с икони и какво да забележим там, имаме едни и същи по форма и размер папки но с различен цвят. Супер! При това всичките са с пепеляв сякаш остарял от времето цвят. Перфеткно. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Като капак на всичко тези които най-много използват Линукс с Гном или КДЕ в ежедневието продължават да твърдят че колкото по блед, схлупен и безцветен и без ефекти е десктопа им толкова по-добре работят. Аз някак не мога да свържа двете неща. Може би някой ще ми разясни. Това разбира се обезкуражава ентусиастите и в никой случай не привлича професионалистите. В тази връзка една интересна статия: &lt;a href="http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/tech/5D262A2920D92C70CC2571FF0003D307"&gt;тук&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;Честно казано съм много объркан. Много неща се пишат из Интернет как това или онова трябва да стане с Гном или графиката под Линукс като цяло. Мненията са много и всичките си противоречат, в крайна сметка може би всеки като мен се хваща да прави каквото смята за правилно и накрая нищо не излиза като свят защото няма обединени усилия. А може би греша. &lt;br /&gt;Аз сигурно няма да си купя Мак никога, от части заради политиката им спрямо ДРМ от части защото съм свикнал да имам определено ниво на контрол върху софтуера който използвам, до степен каквато няма да имам с OSX но нищо не се знае. Но дори слабите изпълнения с ShapeShifter могат да сложат в малкия си джоб онова което е останало като графично достойнство при Линукс. Малко ми е тъжно. Защото с толкова много разработчици и толкова малко артисти Линукс ще си остане една тясно секторна работна операционна система и нищо повече. И не че съм ЗА световно господство на Линукс-а и свалянето на Уиндоус и т.н. просто съм за идеята всеки да може да допринесе с нещо към онова което харесва, понеже аз харесвам Гном искам да направя нещо за него. Много хора са неудовлетворени от работата си, защото е скучна или еднообразна или просто не е тяхното нещо, но се налага да се работи така или иначе; за мен това е разтоварването. Да се опитам да реализирам своите идеи и Линукс с отворените си стандарти ми даде тази възможност, нима можех да закърпя някоя уиндоус програма за да видя как точно бих могъл да я стилизирам? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Интересна статия на сайта на Весо: &lt;a href="http://hardtrance.blogspot.com/2006/10/blog-post_09.html"&gt;тук&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Макар да не съм напълно съгласен с него няма да скрия че модернизма ми е неприятен. Това по го кльопам.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Другата интересна новина е, че след като Quinn (аз така и не можах да разбера това мъж ли е или жена, на много места се обръщат с She към псевдонима??, ако е жена егати кефа, едно интересно и забавно нещо да има за десктопа и да ни го напише дама:) ) форкна Compiz и създаде Beryl Emerald и така нататък деривати David добави поддръжка за metacity теми в Compiz. Очарователно е как се надпреварват. За сега Beryl води, защото поддържа няколко интересни плъгина с ефекти. Надявам се след като се напишат на непотребни плъгини да седнат да помислят за нещо полезно. И за това имам някои идеи, но е рано за това, сега писачите на анимацийки и подскачащи прозорчета са във вихъра си. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-116048004195019694?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=116048004195019694&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/116048004195019694'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/116048004195019694'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2006/10/blog-post.html' title='За иконките и менютата'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-116033095114571883</id><published>2006-10-08T21:04:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-10-08T21:11:08.776+03:00</updated><title type='text'>HIG</title><content type='html'>Що е то?&lt;br /&gt;HIG е често използвана абревиатура и означава Human Interface Guidelines, на български - насоки за създаване на потребителски интерфейс. В десктоп работните среди това са насоките които се очаква да следват програмистите и дизайнерите на приложенията за да ги направят по-лесни, удобни и приятни за употреба. Не на последно място и по-интуитивни.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Аз не претендирам да разбирам много от тази материя, но нищо не пречи да си кажа мнението, след като съм се запознал с няколко документа по въпроса. На първо място започнах с помощната документация която може да бъде намерена на страницата за програмисти на &lt;a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/index.html"&gt;Apple&lt;/a&gt;. Документът не е от най-кратките, но според мен си струва да се прочете. Детайлите са много (включително препоръчваните отстояния в пиксели между елементите и така нататък), но странно защо имаше голям смисъл, поне за мен. Сигурно за никой не е тайна ,че съм голям фен на Aqua интерфейса. Опитвал съм се да пригодя някои от характерните за него елементи към GTK с по-глолям или по-малък успех (например Focus ring). Анимацията също смятам, че използвана разумно добавя много за улесняване на взаимодействието с потребителя. Едно от нещата които все още не знам как да осъществя е обезцветяването на контролните елементи на неактивните прозорци, добавянето на бутон за оразмеряване на прозореца (както всички вече знаете такъв бутон се поддържа от (почти?) всеки мениджър на прозорци, но някак си не-интуитивно се работи с тях, дори ако сте имало опит с Уиндоус се сещате че там така наречения Resize Grip присъства. Разбира се window frame (рамка на прозореца) позволява промяна на размера, но какво правим ако нямаме рамка на прозореца (тоест използваме мениджър на прозорци който позволява рамката да бъде с големина 0) ? Ами... остава ни да използваме бутона (ами ако сме решили че не искаме да има такъв?) или да се надяваме разработчика да е добавил а) StatusBar и б) resize grip на него.&lt;br /&gt;Следващото което прави неприятно впечатление е липсата на гъвкавост по отношение на менютата, докато тази функционалност присъства в KDE то тя е &lt;strike&gt;доста недодялана в ГТК все още&lt;/strike&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Актуализация: AqD написа поправка към GTK 2.10 която в последствие порт-на към GTK 2.8 и аз имах удоволствието да я изпробвам лично. Първоначално кръпката беше доста недодялана (например менюто изчезваше ако се активира контекстно меню или се влачи прозореца) също така не можеше да се интегрират менютата с панела, но днес посетих отново страницата на &lt;a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241868"&gt;проекта&lt;/a&gt; и О ЧУДО, имаме си вече аплет за панела, който помества менютата, да им е честито на Mac OSX любителите! За съжаление кръпката за 2.8 не се поддържа и няма да се обновява.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Странната имплементация на някои уиджети поставя пред сериозно изпитание създаването на декорация за елементите следващи подобни на Aqua HIG. Едно от нещата е, разбира се е, че уиджетите са различни от тези в Cocoa . Например типовете бутони (най-ясната разлика), типовете визуални разграничители и други. Голям напредък за дизайнерите на теми беше въвеждането на възможността да се променят отстъпите и размерите на някои уиджети чрез темите в GTK2. Един типичен пример за често задаван в темите размер на уиджет е scrollbar и slider. За съжаление задълбоченото познаване на GTK е наложително за да се използват тези възможности.&lt;br /&gt;Но дори те не могат да се справят с някои ограничения на имплементацията по отношение на "theming". Ще изброя някои от тях с цел илюстрация:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;GtkToolButton - това са бутоните използвани в горната част на прозорците, например контролите на Nautilus или Gedit. За съжаление, макар да са много различни като предназначение и тип и логиката е поне да могат да се изчертават по начин различен от обикновените бутони, тези бутони напълно еднакво се изчертават както обикновения GtkButton. Всичките ми опити до сега да променя това са безрезултатни.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Променените от някой програмист уиджети, извлечени от основния тип, но неподдаващи се на theming. Ужасно дразни, а на всичкото отгоре нямам идея как да се справя с това за сега, примери за това са widgets в: Grisbi, Evolution, Epiphany LocationBar и други&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Липсата на стабилна документация за най-често използвания engine - pixmaps. Всичко на всичко което се знае за този модул е това което успее дизайнера на темата да схване от чуждите работи и коментари и евентуално ако чете кода и доразбере нещо.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Липсата на приложение за тестване на темите, съдържащо всички уиджети (включително с имената им), което да може да променя използвания стил без да се сменя системния такъв - това много би ускорило тестването на стиловете поне за стандартните контроли (уиджети)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Липса на лесен и надежден начин за получаване на името и path-а на уиджет директно от работеща програма, например искате да направите тема за определен уиджет в определено приложение, но не знаете какъв е той, ако имаше начин просто да кликнете на него и в stdout да ви се изпише името щеше да е къде къде по-лесно&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Няма документирана възможност за стилизиране на конкретни уиджети в конкретни приложения, макар че очевидно това е възможно(как?) - виждали сме го в няколко теми вече и наистина работи (и как все пак?)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Не мога да претендирам да познавам добре GTK, нито начините за стилизирането му, но от набраната до момента информация (няколко дни стабилно ровене и четене както на помощната документация (sgml през DevHelp) така и на изходния код) ми показаха че с някои неща няма да мога да се справя, без да задълбая наистина сериозно в interenals. А дори и тогава се съмнявам да успея. Бих се радвал ако някой има по-голям опит и разбиране по въпроса помогне, но за сега не се е намерил такъв, хем знаещ, хем желаещ да помогне.&lt;br /&gt;Ето някои от нещата, които ме спъват за сега:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Изчертаване на фокуса: безумно много ме дразни това че само текстовите контроли (GtkEntry, GtkText, GtkEditable и прочее) се поддават на "фокусиране". Според мен трябва това да се отнася в пълна степен и за листингите, защото може да се скролира с клавиатурата през тях и да се активират Items там с натискането на Enter, което ги прави по логиката на HIG пълноправни кандидати за приемане на Input events следователно - фокусирането им. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Не знам как да изчертавам контроли различно според къде са използвани(в каква йерархия), например: GtkCList има в себе си GtkLabel, който, за да променя, използвам следния код&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;style "stylename" {&lt;br /&gt;font_name = "Font Name pointsize"&lt;br /&gt;}&lt;br /&gt;widget_class "*.GtkCList*.*GtkLabel*" style = "stylename"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;и това работи, дори да имам другаде зададен различен стил за GtkLabel. Но например не работи за бутоните в GtkToolButton, може би просто не знам как правилно да се обръщам към тях, вече и аз не знам какво става.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Бавно но славно напредвам с моят стил, който съм намислил освен всичко друго да бъде и едно своеобразно помагало за желаещите да изучават начините на стилизиране на обектите от GTK. Вече съм доста наясно че никога няма да мога да постигна Aqua изгледа, да не говорим за поведението (най-малкото анимациите) но мисля че доста красиви и практични неща могат да се получат. За мен разбира се най-важното в това начинание остава доближаване до HIG, а именно, по-добре и по-бързо да може да се ориентира потребителя в това какво се случва с програмата и така нататък, като основната цел в момента ми е пълно и цялостно проследяване на Input focus и Default widget (бил той бутон или друго - както в случаите с диалозите например, Input фокуса може да бъде GtkEntry поле, но default контролата да е Ok или Cancel бутона.)&lt;br /&gt;Отправям призив към всеки който има познания в областта и сведения и иска да помогне да ми пише с информация за контакт. Всяка помощ е добре дошла!&lt;br /&gt;Мисля също така, че следващият път когато Гном се сдобива с нов стил "по подразбиране" той трябва да е много по-добре обмислен (вкл. възможностите които предлага, като проследяване на фокуса, действията по подразбиране и тн, неща които липсват в настоящата реализация (Clearlooks*).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Clearlooks беше голяма стъпка напред, след годините на грозна тема по подразбиране, но това да се проследява фокуса само в GtkEntry полетата си беше едно недомислие. Също така се оказа че да се изчертават уиджетите само с Cairo не е толкова лесно колкото си мислеха всички. А и този модул предлага твърде малко методи за настройка на външния вид на приложенията.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-116033095114571883?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=116033095114571883&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/116033095114571883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/116033095114571883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2006/10/hig.html' title='HIG'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-115930941244910928</id><published>2006-09-27T01:18:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-09-27T01:23:32.463+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Mac Style </title><content type='html'>Не е случайно това масово залитане по Aqua интерфейса в сайтовете за "разкрасяване" на Gnome/KDE. Поне аз така си мисля. Лесно може да се добие представа за визуалните глезотии които предлага Mac OS. От техния сайт, от Интернет, от безбройните демонстрационни клипове. Явно е че се харесват!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Днес изпробвах &lt;a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241868"&gt;patch-а &lt;/a&gt;на &lt;a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=152361"&gt;AdQ&lt;/a&gt; (не се разбира много за него от профила му в Ubuntu форума) за GTK2 който прави menu-bar-a да прилича на онзи на Мак ОС. Тази функционалност много отдавна присъства стандартно в КДЕ (поне от както аз го пробвах преди 3 години някъде го имаше) но разработчиците на GTK официално и категорично отказваха да включат поддръжката за това в пакета. Държа да подчертая че решението както в КДЕ така и това новото в Гном не работи много както очаква потребителя. &lt;br /&gt;Минуси:&lt;br /&gt;- не можете да използвате top panel (горен панел). Не знам, но на доста снимки на работни екрани виждам, че хората слагат там notification applet-a календара и някое и друго меню - е, с тази поправка - край на това. &lt;br /&gt;- когато цъкнете на тапета или местите прозорец (с компиз) нищо не се вижда горе. Някак си не ме кефи това.&lt;br /&gt;- според темата която използвате обекта (тоест менюто) може да се окаже по-голямо от колкото сте очаквали, това трябва да се дооправя явно.&lt;br /&gt;- стандартната тема (clearlooks) дава много грозен бял "ръб" точно под декорацията на мениджъра на прозорци - част от ефекта на разделител между менютата и иконите при стандартната компилация. Има пач и за това но не си спомням препратката. Пач-а просто премахва тази декорация. &lt;br /&gt;- на тази лента с менюта не можете да добавите нищо. Дори часовник, камо ли някой аплет. Едно много по-елегантно решение щеше да бъде да се направи аплет-контейнер за панела, който да прихваща обекта menubar и да го помества в себе си. &lt;br /&gt;- gnome-panel умира безпощадно с безкраен лупинг при пускане на menu аплета. &lt;br /&gt;Това са общо взето "проблемите" на тази нова кръпка. Другият й проблем е, че официално са му казали на автора й да върви на майната си от РХ (за които както знаем работят основните разработчици на GTK) и да вземе със себе си писанията си. Няма да има официална поддръжка за това в ГТК. Което не ми харесва, ако бяха прегърнали идеята до сега да са намерили начин да използват някакъв контейнер който да държи меню-бара в панела нормално, а не както сега уиджета да покрива всичко що е там.... за пореден път Ред Хат тропна с крак и каза тежката си дума....&lt;br /&gt;Междувременно аз промених малко кръпката така че да работи с spec файла на официалния gtk2 пакет за Федора кор 5. Направих RPM пакетите и взех да тествам. Понеже вече казах негативните впечатления да кажа и малко позитивни. &lt;br /&gt;Плюсове:&lt;br /&gt;- за сега промяната е едва ли не нищожна. Кръпката е всичко на всичко 494 реда и като цяло промяната е тривиална, можете да я разгледате, дори да не сте запознат с GTK internals ще ви стане ясно. Това е хубаво, колкото по-просто е нещо толкова по-лесно някой с идеи ще подеме нататък. &lt;br /&gt;- Спестява се място НАИСТИНА. за хората с wide screen ще бъде особено полезно, защото имат на къде да се ширят, но на височина... а и за тези със стандартен десктоп, 24 пиксела са си 24 пиксела...А така или иначе никога не цъкаме по менютата на неактивните прозорци, те даже най-често са "отдолу"&lt;br /&gt;- да имаш това налично като опция (защото може да се пуска и спира опционално) е много добър вариант, нали всичко е за "избора"...&lt;br /&gt;- на мен лично ми е по-удобно. И без друго много ама много рядко ползвам менютата, защо да не ги закараме някъде където няма да се пречкат, не само горе ами където си искаме? &lt;br /&gt;- почитателите на Aqua са вече една стъпка по-близо до заветната си мечта&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Няма да лъжа - върнах се на стандартната версия на ГТК след няколко часа тестове.

В свят където нямаш и грам право на защита на личните си неща. На тайните си. Значи да използвам криптиране трябва да съм педофил. Значи да споделям личните си емоции с най-близките си който по стечение на обстоятелствата са на хиляди километри от мен трябва да го направя така че после всички да могат да разберат? НЕ! Не мисля така. От днес започвам да използвам криптиране дори в случаите когато не е наложително. Не мога да разбера до къде е стигнал този свят щом правителствата си мислят че трябва да контролират всичко само за да ни "опазят". Не ви ли напомня това в много голяма степен на VIKI? Която реши да направи преврат на режима в името на нашата безопасност (ref. I, Robt, the motion picture) Просто не ми го побира главата някой да има правото да чете писмата ми, разговорите ми, да прослушва записи на онлайн и телефонните ми звукови разговори, да чете историята за посетените от мен сайтове, разменените там съобщения и прочее и прочее. Дори не искам да го повярвам. Дори не искам да си представя в чий болен мозък може да се роди това. Точно колкото и денонощното видео наблюдение на улиците и сградите..... Това означава ли че няма да мога да говоря с приятеля си за секса снощи, който е бил страхотен, без шефът ми да бъде удостоен с честта да бъде слушател на нашите интимни неща?

Някои казват, че пращал сина си да води занятия със студентите&lt;br /&gt;14. Изключил е първите двама студенти, заради жаждата им за знания&lt;br /&gt;15.

Увлечението ми по Епъл и техния Aqua интерфейс е вече пословично. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Но да не празнословя: новостите.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Най-напред искам да се похваля с това, че направих първите си крачки в създаването на декорации (теми) за GTK2. Не че е някакво особено постижение, но смятам че резултата е доста добър. Първо направих декорациите, а едва след това се сетих че трябва да кръстя темата. И то когато вече трябваше да я кача в &lt;a href="http://www.gnome-look.org"&gt;Gnome Look&lt;/a&gt;, та името доста тъпо излезе, но какво да се прави. Кръстих я ClearGlossy. Общо взето темата е базирана на предишни мои промени върху Glossy P темата. На първо място е премахнат GtkEntry стила използван от оригиналната тема защото е УЖАСЕН, направих го така, че да се очертава в синьо (ха ха - аква) когато е активен. За новата тема комбинирах clearlooks енджина с pixmap енджина. Клиърлукс е така написан че по-добре се справя с изчертаването на някои уиджети. С други моето мнение е че pixpams се справя по-добре. Добавих осветяване на активния текстов уиджет (не само на GtkEntry ) така че край на несигурността в кое поле сме точно когато прозореца ни има повече от едно текстови полета (например всички прозорци на gaim са така - с поне две текстови полета) промених също така начина по който изглеждат подпрозорците (така наречените tabs) и промених менютата така че да се осветява текста в бяло когато е в състояние PRELIGHT. В момента работя над начин да променя рамките (frames)  тъй като не харесвам "ръбати" неща. &lt;br /&gt;Другото което направих е да пусна тема за compiz която да се съчетава добре с GTK2 темата ми. &lt;br /&gt;За съжаление работата по GTK2 темата е много тежка. Не познавам добре уиджетите, не познавам добре свойствата им и като цяло изчитам тонове теми за да видя еди си кое как бих могъл да манипулирам за да получа желания резултат. В момента например пиша в текстово поле(Drivel) но очевидно не е обикновено такова ( не спада към GtkText* &amp;&amp; GtkEdiatble* ) и не е очертано макар да е активното поле. Ще ми се да познавах някого който по-добре да разбира тези неща. Някой от разработчиците на GTK например. Най-нужно ми е в момента да разбера мога ли от тема да манипулирам отстоянията на уиджетите един от друг - ако да - супер, ще нагодя просто картинките и всичко ще е 6. Ако не - лошо:) Опитах да манипулирам и бутоните с pixmaps енджина но не беше добра идея. Макар да ги докарах много добре (с borders манипулатора става лесно) като форма се оказа че от прекалено много уиджети се наследяват - например от *List.GtkButton* и така нататък, налага се специално внимание да се обръща и задължително да се изключи Gimp.* от теминга защото просто там е пълно мазало, за скролбар се аплайва правилото за бутони на заглавие на лист и тн, поначало повечето теми имат проблем с Gimp и неправилното изчертаване на уиджетите там. Може би ако се понапъна и се науча да напиша един енджин на основата на Cairo би било по-лесно. Само че пак ще трябва да изуча подробно GTK което ще отнеме МНОГО време, а аз чак толкова свободно нямам, да не говорим колко време ще се дебъгва и тн, просто се надявам някой да напише нещо хубаво и подобно на аква по-скоро.....Определено с pixmaps да се постигне този изглед и най-вече усещането е безкрайно трудно, клонящо към невъзможно, смея да твърдя че моята тема за сега като че ли най-близо стига до идеите на аква, това активните полета да са очертани, да са приятни и заоблени повечето уиджети и тн. От години следя развитието на подобен род теми и така смятам. Иначе Baghira за KDE е доста добра. жалко че няма нещо подобно за GTK. &lt;br /&gt;И като тръгнахме от Аква... dock. Този прословут инструмент на Mac OSX който никой който не е ползвал MAC OS не знае какво точно и как върши. От към външен вид поне го докарахме май? Engage се опит но безкрайно сложния процес на компилация, почти пълната липса на интеграция в дистрибуциите и като цяло няколкото ми неугледни опита да го подкарам ме накараха да мисля че това НЕ е решението. CairoDock или както в последствие бе прекръстен - Gnome dock. Все още неработоспособен. Като за красота е супер но продължава да бъде един обикновен стартербар какъвто беше и gDesklet аплета. Новата играчка която се включва в SUSE се нарича Kiba. Киба е базирана на нов физичен енджин и общо взето прекалено подскача и тя СЪЩО е просто един стартер бар. Доработена е (новината в compiz.net) но днешния ми опит да я компилирам от сорса в CVS се оказа неуспешен. Всъщност се компилира но не работи както трябва (възможно е причината да е в AIGLX) но не е само това. продължава да й липсва функционалност отвъд стартер. Да се надяваме че скоро ще имаме нещо смислено и разработено не само красиво но и функционално. &lt;br /&gt;Продължават неуспешните ми опити за компилация на compiz &amp;&amp; cgwd от CVS. И двете се компилират и И ДВЕТЕ не работят както трябва. Мисля че още много път ще извървят преди да станат "универсални" тоест да вървят еднакво добре под Xgl и под Aiglx. До тогава - да страдат дечицата. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Заключение: бъдещето е светло. Ясно не бих казал. От ред хат се заиграват с някакви теоретични възможности на cairo  за къстъм изчертаване на уиджетите на GTK. Хубаво ама нищо не изтече като алфа да му се не види. Знам че те не обичат да копират нищо, но толкова много хора харесват вида на Aqua интерфейса... все пак щеше да е хубаво...Поне малко да се доближим. Не знам защо но все още мисля че има какво да вземем от юзър икспириънса под мак ос. Например - не мога да влача някоя икона или текст, да активирам scale плъгина на comipz да избера прозорец и да пусна в новия активен прозорец влаченото. Аз просто не мога да активирам скейл. Не мога да понасям тасклиста, но нямам алтернатива в момента (все пак не го използвам) не мога да накарам панела да не стартира едно и също приложение два пъти (например evolution). И нямам интегрирано наистина добре направено IDE. Днес свалих за да изпробвам SlickEdit, само като ме посрещна грозния първобитен интерфейс и се отказах, аз така мога да си ползвам и vim. Особено тези изскачащи хелпове и подсказки мале мале....&lt;br /&gt;Другото което може би забравих да спомена е alta. Но сега нямам време да обяснявам какво е това. Само ще кажа че ни е рано за това. Защото ЗА СЕГА всички ефекти се управляват от Window managera. В момента в който имаме нещо което няма нужда от него то просто не знае за scale zoom и тн. Няма и от къде да знае. Всички сте виждали ефектите под макос. Мисля че е време да помислим за ефекти на ниво туулкит. Но сме толкова млади... на по-малко от година. Aiglx &amp;&amp; Xgl ...те са още бебета.

And here we are now - there:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compiz on AIGLX working perfectly well, on a moderate ( not really slow but not really fast ) graphics adapter - Intel 855GM. I've been using it from the last night but it feels like I've been doing it all my life. The animations are awesome. They are fast enough to not stop your work but slow enough so you can actually see it. It makes your desktop more vivid, more physical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you have not yet tried metacity with compositing enabled or compiz (regardless of your hardware - if you're Ati or Nvidia owner you use XGL, if you have Intel integrated - you use AIGLX) now is the right time. Before you are forced to:) Why am I saying that? Because I think it is so good for the user to have eye-candy it will become part of every window manager. Just like it is on Mac OS X. You get it by default.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should not be me if I hide the downsides. Compiz is not yet mature enough. It lacks some functionality you might got used with. For example the new windows overlap the current one. Though it is new in metacity (present from 2.12 i think) It cannot be made to show the control buttons on the left side ( and it really irritates me) and it is not themable yet (at least not the official one, compiz-quinn is, but i could not find a version of it to run on AIGLX). But don't let this disappoint you. It is really fast, it takes less CPU than the previous release of metacity (from April 2006 - AIGLX repo) - actually it works just like there is no compositing made ( CPU under 1%, and up to 5% with video playback using XVideo) . So go on and give it a shot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more thing for the fedora users. Be warned - the new rebuild of metacity is not working with the Xorg (AIGLX) 1.1.1. I couldn't find the reason, I'm waiting for a reply in fedora forums. Maybe someone will answer. Actually it works with no problem but without compositing. Once activated I only see blue screen. It used to work before the update. So if you are currently using metacity with composite enabled have in mind it might breaks on 855GMs. But compiz work for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is for now. I'll update this once I find out what the problem with metacity is and why the heck the compiz package comes without libscale so the Exposé-like function is missing from this build.... I really dislike that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;update&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;short description of the steps i took in order to make the scale plugin available on the aiglx's compiz package was posted yesterday on fedora forums. I'll paste it here too, hoping someone will make use of it as I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preface: As my knowledge to AutoTools is little to none, be advised this may not be the best way to achieve this, but it is working. At least if you use the i386 architecture and you are using the aiglx repo package for compiz installation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As you might noticed already the changelog of the package says:&lt;br /&gt; * Thu Jul 20 2006 Kristian Høgsberg &lt;krh@redhat.com&gt; - 0.0.13-0.7.20060720git&lt;br /&gt; - Drop scale plugin from snapshot.&lt;br /&gt; I don't know what the reason for this was, I'm not intending to ask Kristian, as I think he has more valuable things to do than to reply my questions. The thing here is I really like that plugin and I want to use it despite what the packager of compiz thinks about it. At the end of the day it's all about the freedom of choice, right. That is this software about!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So, how do I get this plugin, when I'm not really a rpm build guru or developer or anything. The first thing I noticed was the error: libscale.so not found (when starting compiz from the command line) So i think, what if I add it? And that's exactly what I did. But also I have to find it. Since it was dropped from the source (meaning plugins/scale.c has been deleted from the source the package is build from and Makefile.in has been modified to not seek for this file) I had no choice but to patch the Makefile.in and to add scale.c from the CVS repository. Surprisingly it worked. Please note that I used the file from cvs not from git. Which might be a mistake, I'm not really sure, as I said I'm no developer - just a regular user. As a result the ./configure &amp;&amp;amp; make produced all the necessary files, including libscale.so (located in plugins/.lib/ ) Then I just copied that file in /usr/lib/compiz (as root) and it worked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; here is a description of the exact steps(I presume you already have installed the i386 package for compiz from AIGLX repo) :&lt;br /&gt; download the src rpm from the AIGLX repo.&lt;br /&gt; unpack it (do not install it, just unpack in a temp dir)&lt;br /&gt; unpack the compiz source inside the rpm package&lt;br /&gt; patch with the provided in the rpm patches.&lt;br /&gt; use cvs to obtain the compiz source&lt;br /&gt; in the source tree of compiz from aiglx patch the plugins/Makefile.in with the Makefile.in found in compiz's cvs tree (plugins/Makefile.in) or you can just copy the CVS file over the aiglx one.&lt;br /&gt; configure and make&lt;br /&gt; su to superuser (root)&lt;br /&gt; copy plugins/.lib/libscale.so to /usr/lib/compiz&lt;br /&gt; use gconftool or gset-compiz to activate the plugin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I think it is possible to redistribute the produced file (libscale.so) to your friends - It should work on all i386 with the same package installed (compiz-0.0.13-0.12.20060721git.fc5.aiglx)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So it is possible to have the scale plugin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-115522894024801961?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=115522894024801961&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/115522894024801961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/115522894024801961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2006/08/candies.html' title='Candies...'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-115359130457317311</id><published>2006-07-22T20:58:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-07-22T21:01:44.576+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Fun on the wire</title><content type='html'>The last week was fun one.

The link is &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq88N7FYMUU"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you'll enjoy it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's the moral? Don't ever have sex with someone you don't know. Don't ever think that the Internet is the place where you can count on anonymity. The short video might be funny, but look beyond. Just be careful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of those day I'll write a little essay. I just have to rethink something. I saw "The Village" today, right before i go to work. It impressed me. I have this question: Is it fair that a very small group of people control what we know and what we should not know? Even if it is for our own good. I think the easiest answer is this : it depends. But everything in this world depends. And still we can say that a murder is bad and love is good. And the question is as old as the world, or maybe a little younger. But in the Bible the question persist. Nevertheless I think the  answer is there: the human decided that he should know everything... Why we don't have the will to not obey and to learn everything? &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-115326142379172703?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=115326142379172703&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/115326142379172703'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/115326142379172703'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2006/07/modern-sexuality.html' title='Modern sexuality'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-115116952590908255</id><published>2006-06-24T20:15:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-06-24T20:18:45.960+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Фенове на информационните технологии или как си прекарваме времето пред/с компютъра</title><content type='html'>С всеки изминал ден се убеждавам, че хората прекарващи времето си из разните недоразвити среди да общуване, като IRC и тям подобни text only свърталища пропускат нещо невероятно.  Скайп? Скайп е интересен, но с колко непознати би се случило да си допаднеш? Аз лично бях публикувал скайп името си само в един сайт и точно след два дни се наложи да го зарежа веднъж за винаги. Защото въпреки че разговора е през Интернет той се чувства доста реален, а когато някой се държи нагло, нахално, безочливо и на всичкото отгоре предъвква солети, докато говори с теб е неприятно. И така - скайп е за разговор с познати. Но какво да се направи ако искаме да общуваме с нови хора. &lt;br /&gt;Няма да се впускам в подробни обяснения, цялата информация е там - щом има irc значи има и уеб, а щом има уеб... ох кефффф...така че само изброявам:&lt;br /&gt;Mugshot&lt;br /&gt;Podcasts&lt;br /&gt;Photosharing, musicsharing, videosharing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Аз съм леко пристрастен към RSS агрегатора си вече, това е нещо което просто в такава степен ускорява процеса на запознаване с и отсяване на новото, че не мога да си представя някой да НЕ го ползва.

И все пак звучи добре. Между другото препоръчвам книгата горещо, малко е тежка за четене, но при положение, че вече всички се праскат че четат Умберто Еко и Камю и не знам си кой - съвсем честно - тази е по-лека.&lt;br /&gt;Линк за романа (на български) -&gt; &lt;a href="http://ireality.hit.bg/sf/citystar.htm"&gt;The city and the stars&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Става дума обаче за нещо друго. Бях на концерта в Каварна на Апокалиптика и на връщане имаше безоблачно небе. За първи път ми се прииска да имам кола с прозрачен таван. Бях забравил колко разкошно е небето гледано в безоблачна лятна нощ от полето. Толкова спомени нахлуха изведнъж, толкова забравени мечти и още нови се родиха. Гледайки това небе и съзвездията никак не се чудех, че 19 век е века на изкуствата. Толкова вдъхновение. Ех, за съжаление тази гледка не може никога да се види от града. трябва специално да се излезе далеч от него, да се избере ясна нощ и хубаво място, където да можеш просто да легнеш и да гледаш. Опитах да направя снимка, но разбира се нищо не стана. За което съжалявам наистина, рядко ми се отваря тази възможност. Но така отваря душата...

Само за три дни, макар че планирах 5 или 6. Общи впечатления натрупах доста, но основното са разликите между официалната столица и морската. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;На първо място: във Варна от (почти) всеки квартал можеш с подходящ транспорт да стигнеш до всеки друг квартал без да сменяш автобуса. Най-често можеш да избереш между няколко линии(номера), които по различен маршрут биха те завели на същото място за почти еднакво време. Със съжаление установих, че да се придвижваш в София с градски транспорт съвсем не е толкова лека задача и ако имаш неблагоразумието да си на квартира в квартал до който няма директен транспорт от квартала в който работиш - тежко ти. Чакането по спирките... е то е ясно че е дълго, поради липсата на алтернативна линия. Но пък билетите са много по-евтини (с 20 стотинки) Но като трябва да изразходиш 4-6 за един ден то май се компенсира:) Задръстванията са един наболял и за Варна проблем, само дето във Варна когато автобуса (за който софиянци упорито използват думата "рейс") попадне в задръстване после не се опитва да си навакса времето форсирайки двигателя по улиците и пътниците не падат и не се въргалят по пода на превозното средство като чували с картофи. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Цените на някои стоки наистина са по-високи, говорим за разлики от повече от 20%. Нямам предвид масовките от сорта на кока-кола и прах за пране Бонукс, а "локалните" стоки: (сега не се смейте) пица на парче, чехли, всичко приготвено за ядене... е то за ядене доста пари отиват така или иначе. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Имената на улиците. Сега, ясно е че ние, нали сме си готини българи, никога няма да минем на онази система - американската - с номерация на улиците вместо имена. За това чак не мога да си мечтая, като например чакам те на ъгъла на 7 и 49 - пред софийския. Нееее. Но поне по отношение на табелите с имената на улиците София значително превъзхожда Варна. Да не казвам, че във Варна за да разбереш на коя улица си трябва да намериш да питаш някой, който живее на нея, друг начин няма. Евентуално ако улицата е по-голяма и оживена може да я знаят повечко хора. В София е достатъчно да вдигнеш глава към табелите. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Кварталите: аз бях само в два - младост 4 и някакъв друг, на който не му помня името. Ха-ха:) А да и в Лозенец бях, но там само за малко и не успях да огледам добре. Общото ми впечатление е, че няма голяма разлика с Варна. Също се съчетават стари сгради с новопостроени, също има прекалено много коли паркирани по улиците, задръствайки евентуалното движение. Хареса ми в тези квартали, защото вечер е спокойно. Приличат на предградия. Няма прекалено високо строителство и панелни жилища строени на килограм (тоест по много и на гъсто). Но в други квартали може и да има.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Паркчета и градинки: видях Борисова градина и градинката пред софийския университет. Скръб майка. Друго си е морската, макар че напоследък и на нея й ебаха майката. Прекалено много разрешителни за строеж получиха някои хора. Мяза на строителна площадка, но какво пък, който иска повече зелено да ходи в Канада:) Но има зелено и в София де. Приятно е. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Клюкарските улици: Аз в София видях само една - булевард Витоша. А във Варна има само една - Княз Борис. Така че нищо особено. И на двете места има от омразните "клюкарски" заведение, тоест такива прострели площта си по тротоарите, и по двете е забранено движението, но и по двете се виждат коли, за по-важните хора (MIP предполагам или VIP?) и на двете ми е трудно да кажа че ми харесва някое заведение, и по двете има магазини, в които се продават стоки с марж над 500%. И тн. сходства доста. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Таксиии ( hail a cab): Истината си е истина - такситата във Варна най-вероятно са едни от най-скъпите в България. 0,69 стотинки на километър пробег е нечовешка цена, дори да си накъде около центъра не падаш под 4 лева, особено нощем (когато тарифата е по-висока). В София излиза също толкова но за значително по-голям пробег и цената е по-ниска. Във Варна шофьорите знаят почти всеки магазин, заведение или бизнес център. В София не е така, опит да стигнеш до Плесио/Мултирама например завършва с 15 минутно обикаляне из тесни улички, някои от които с павета и дълъг телефонен разговор за да се осведомиш за името на улицата и номера (Солунска 2 - хайде малко реклама за Мултирама). Във Варна дори да кажеш отивам при леля Кичка - фризьорката, шансът да те откарат на правилното място е доста голям. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. ИТ магазините: така и така споменах Плесио и Мултирама, след рекламата е време и да ги оплюя. Цените са с точно 1% по-ниски от колкото в някоя уважаваща себе си фирма асемблатор с изключително добра клиентска политика (включваща обаждания на клиента, следпродажбено обслужване и обгрижване и всичките му там екстри) Това мисля че си струва 10-те лева (което е фактически разликата в цената при една средно добра конфигурация ~ 1000 лева). В Плесио, макар да изглежда визуално по-малък (не знам точната търговска площ на колко се равнява) нещата са сякаш по-добре подредени. И няма опасност всички да разберат за фобията ви от височини - подът не е прозрачен и окачен в нищото. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Хората: стандартно резервирани. Ако попиташ за спирката или посоката ще ти отговорят без съмнение. Така че не се безпокойте ако трудно се ориентирате по карта. Другото хубаво нещо е че никой не обръща внимание на никого и манията да си добре облечен и наконтен когато ходиш из центъра на града, да се пременяш като селски ерген, там я няма. Всеки ходи както си иска и това ми харесва. Облеклото в София като че ли наистина не може да бъде мерило за социалния статус на носителя му. Но не бях достатъчно дълго там за да го преценя наистина това. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Централна гара: е вярно много цигани има там. И е голяма скръб. Без повече коментар. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Топлата вода: да! И във Варна и в София за да "дойде топлото" трябва да повърви водицата едно 10 15 минути - изтекла студена вода, която ти си я плащаш като топла. Мамка им! И между другото това не е само ако си на Н-тия етаж броено след 10тия. И на третия е така!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Мъжете. Е няма как да не кажа и за тях. Всякакви ги има, но определено варненските са по-добре облечените, често с по-поддържана фигура и задължително с много повече тен. Но не че варненци обичат плажа, не, те просто са си го събрали до 10 годишна възраст и си го носят цял живот. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Жените. Е тук вече наистина София яко трябва да бие отбой. Не че няма хубави момичета, но те явно се крият и не се показват много денем по улиците. Сигурно е така, но аз не видях нито една красавица ей така, нагласена и да се размотава из софийските кривини. Видях само една и тя се качи в бавареца на един тип който преди да влезе в колата бръкна дълбоко в анцуга си за да си намести "на голо" екипировката. Супер! Важното е че вдига 120 от лежанката и има хубава кола:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Общи впечатления: емоционално не можах добре да преценя града, от една страна е много по-голям и има много повече хора които можеш да срещнеш и да направиш свои приятели или поне добри познати. От друга обаче попадайки там и си нямаш никого, мястото може да бъде точно толкова самотно колкото всяко друго, когато си далеч от всичко което познаваш и с което си свикнал. Наистина като че ли много неща са различни, младежите се обличат различно (сякаш са на 2000 км от крайбрежието а не на 500 ), говорът....ами говорът е много ама много различен. Софийското наречие не е и даже шопско, просто е някакво дървено и звучи на мен като варненец адски селяндурско. Да ме прощават софиянци, но варненското наречие, въпреки мекотата* си и ту-ткането** е къде къде по-близо до книжовния български език от А-кането*** и МЕ-кането**** което просто е поголовно в София и съм изненадан дори, че хората си говорят просто така, как така не им прави впечатление например, че говорят различно от, да речем, говорителите по телевизията или озвучителите по филмите? Истината е че ми хареса, не само защото имах чудесни гидове в лицето на Живко и Христо (поздрави) но и защото градът (и звездите) наистина си струва да бъде посетен, а ако имаш късмет - дори и да се живее там! Особено ако намериш квартира/жилище на хубаво място, далеч от булевардите и оживените по-тесни улички, с магазинче което работи до сравнително късно и не надува цените и е близо до работното ти място:) Просто върха:-) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Пояснения: &lt;br /&gt;*мекотата на варненския език е често най-цитирания "дефект" на речта от софиянци. Типичният лаф е: приятно ми е Имил, и на мен - Илена, ний сми от далиеко и говорим на миеко. &lt;br /&gt;**варненци имат навика да членуват собствените имена: Еми-ту Ели-ту Пепи-ту... &lt;br /&gt;***освен особената твърдост на говора софиянци неизбежно слагат и неправилно ударенията на почти всички глаголи - правИл в/о прАвил, казАл в/о кАзал и тн. Освен това звукът при гласните идва повече от гърлото, което според мен е причината за леко селското звучене, като например гърленото О. &lt;br /&gt;****Всички нативни софиянци с които разговарях неизбежно спрягаха погрешно глаголите - "ще минеМЕ да те вземеМЕ" и тн. Овен това почти всички употребяват "кво" което също допринася за недодяланото звучене на речта им. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-114797677235859552?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=114797677235859552&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/114797677235859552'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/114797677235859552'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2006/05/blog-post_18.html' title='На гости у Софио'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-114085990779103887</id><published>2006-02-25T11:47:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-02-25T11:31:47.806+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Lots in one... or how can I be impressed by so many things at once</title><content type='html'>Wow, wonderful week! &lt;br /&gt;First, the AI GL X project! Wow, it (will) works on my Intel 855GM video!!! Unlike the GLX project (developed by individuals working at Novell and two weeks ago released as an open source) it adds some new bits to the old X server and as far as the tiny short clips shows it works fine. Well, it's not really as impressive as &lt;a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/~davidr/xgl-demo1.xvid.avi"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; video, but still I'd be glad to use it on my desktop. Too bad it's not known to work with shaped windows ( not that I'm using lots of it  - like xmms or mplayer GUIs ). It looks like I'll have to wait though to get in touch with those eye candies. GLX is not working yet with my graphics card and AIGLX is not available yet, not to mention it works with Fedora core 5 test 3 and above. The other bad news is AIGLX is not working with XVideo. Well this is &lt;strong&gt;BAD&lt;/strong&gt;. Why? Because I like to watch movies and clips on my laptop! The Composite is also known to not work with XVideo/GL. So where's the difference and the advanced techniques Fedora team is trying to show us? As a note ( at the bottom by the way! ) it says :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shaped windows and Xvideo are known to not work. Also, running other GL applications may cause flickering or other weird effects. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well. I'll wait. Again. And again. Moments like this makes me regret I didn't go to college to study development and computer science! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So much for the linux deksktop. Next is the big movie disappointment: &lt;u&gt;Underworld 2: Evolution&lt;/u&gt;. My God, isn't this movie BAD! I can't believe they did that to the original idea. I watched the first movie like 20 times and I'm still not sick of it. Unlike the second - I hated it from the first time and never watched it again. Hope this wont happen to Final destination 3! Or else the year for me will pass without a favourite movie for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last thing I'd like to share: I hate my job. Marketing is NOT my thing. So I'm heading at the science path. Hope I'll find something appropriate soon or else I'll go crazy in this company. Isn't it strange how optimistic I went to work for this company and how soon I was disappointed? No matter how much I'm trying I cannot get used with the way they work. Or do not, depends on the point of view. So wish me good luck! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And by the way I'm ill and at home for the last two days. I hate the feeling! My mom says my immune system is not working properly because of the lack of sex. I'll have to check this out on the Internet. Maybe she's right...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-114085990779103887?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=114085990779103887&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/114085990779103887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/114085990779103887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2006/02/lots-in-one-or-how-can-i-be-impressed.html' title='Lots in one... or how can I be impressed by so many things at once'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-114085750856237106</id><published>2006-02-25T10:51:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-02-25T10:51:48.570+02:00</updated><title type='text'>my desktop</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62057413@N00/104091824/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/34/104091824_a81e18bcf0_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62057413@N00/104091824/"&gt;my desktop&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/62057413@N00/"&gt;pstj&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I'm amazed how people post screenshots of thier desktops all around.

The old fashioned flat look, fewer colors, no 3D. The new race of Linux wanna-be-gurus shout here and there: It is network transparent, it is fast, it runs on every platform. Actually few people knew and understood the free implementation of the X11 environment. On of them being Keith Packard. Packard and 'friends' contributed new code to the tree and Fontconfig/Xft/Composite/Damage/Fixies were born. Meanwhile Nvidia and Ati started to support the kernel with proprietary drivers. Now days we are entering the new era on the free UNIX desktop experience. Too bad we are the last. Long road before us to catch up with Mac OS X but the right path is followed. &lt;br /&gt;This &lt;a href="http://www.linuxedge.org/?q=node/58"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt; demonstrates what I am talking about. It still does the thing the hard way, using workarounds and hacks to do its job, but it is really impressive. As I look back at the screenshots of my Gnome 1.2 I really can't believe I liked it at the time. Now, I can't imagine using my notebook without the dropshadow windows, the exposé-like functionality, the animations... The bad news is we still don't have a working and easy to use video and audio conferencing app for the free desktop. I hope this will change in 2006 at last. For those of you guys and girls wanting to try out the Linux - now is the right time, when we have a modern display architecture, mature applications, progressive office environment, games (incl. 3D fps and so on) and the freedom. &lt;br /&gt;The last thing I'd like to mention is the news of a new virus attacking mac OS on Intel platform... I do not know if it is the core duo long errata list or the rising popularity of mac OS X but the malicious force of the underground hackers is now pointing at the operating system I happen to like the most for almost a year... what Steve Jobs and Co. will do? Can't wait to see...It will be an interesting year indeed! &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-114027142491085580?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=114027142491085580&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/114027142491085580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/114027142491085580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2006/02/desktop-beautyfication.html' title='Desktop Beautyfication'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-113614547029922966</id><published>2006-01-01T21:55:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2006-01-01T21:57:50.313+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy new year!!!</title><content type='html'>Well, here we are, year 2006! There is something special about this year's party. I wasn't there. I spent 30 and 31 of December in the E.R. My cat was very ill. For the first time I realized that there are people working on that day. They couldn't really help my cat , it was catheterized and we had to buy dumpers for him and I prayed to God he'll be alright. Unfortunately it is too expensive to bring him everyday to the vet so I had to remove the catheter today by myself. He's hardly on drugs and we all hope he'll get better and we'll send him to the province when possible. The nurse said he'll be better there because he'll starve most of the time and it heals ... so it works for he animals also?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I may say it was not a happy new year party. There was no party. But I'm still thankful it was not a tragedy. At the beginning of the new year I hope for few things, one I dream about: to manage to leave this country and go to Canada, to find a job I really like, ecologist or maybe a developer/computer scientist. I'm really inspired by the things going on the Computer science sector. Dreams... But first of all I cannot still take the courage to leave the country all alone. I'm still looking for that special someone who'll take this journey with me! So the first thing I hope for is to find the strength to face the real life by myself OR to find the one who will face it with me and next to me. I still don't know which one is better. Maybe I'll find it out this year! The good thing I'm optimistic. So... Happy new year !!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-113614547029922966?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=113614547029922966&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/113614547029922966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/113614547029922966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2006/01/happy-new-year.html' title='Happy new year!!!'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-113420973731667653</id><published>2005-12-10T12:12:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2005-12-10T12:15:37.333+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Days off vs. Holidays?</title><content type='html'>It's always nice in the end of December to remember the old values like family and close friends, parts of our lives we decide to ignore more or less in favour of career once in a while. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year my plan is to visit my grandparents. I haven't seen them for 5 years. I'm scared a bit. I mean they have to be older (that's for sure) but that's not the problem. I'm afraid of the aging process. Like every gay guy i guess. Not only that. I'm scared because they're ill, they might die... Sometimes I feel like it would be better to not have any close persons. That way you wont suffer the lost. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Winter do that trick to me, I get depressed and melancholic. This year supposed to be different. It is NOT. What does this mean? Some things never change...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm always amused by people's excitement about the Holidays. I mean why are they so excited? For me, honestly, it's just a few days off. Nice time spent at home where's not cold. I don't have to work, I don't have to do anything, I can just relax and enjoy myself. On the other hand there are those people going around like crazy, buying stuffs they'll never need, drinking lots of alcohol, red noses and cheeks and everything. Am I missing something. Where's this X-mas spirit? Where's the excitement? And why am I going to work on 31 of December?

I'll not tell a secret if I say that in Bulgaria this is not an exception. And that I'll not get the money for the last two weeks I was working there. And of course this is a common practice in Bulgaria, too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I am not looking back, I am looking forward. I hope at the new place I'll have more chances to develop my skills in marketing and to become a head manager. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I miss my Dejan. My mom came back without warning at Wednesday evening and I showed her a picture of Dejan, she said she doesn't like him. I was a bit disappointed, I hoped for her to like him, I like him. We'll see. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-112931593309037040?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=112931593309037040&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/112931593309037040'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/112931593309037040'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2005/10/old-job-new-job.html' title='Old job, new job'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-112792253383136348</id><published>2005-09-28T18:53:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2005-09-28T18:53:10.696+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Shocked!</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;Ok, maybe not shocked, but truly touched. &lt;br /&gt;A friend of mine gave me a CD today with a movie. He said it's about a love story in the end of WW2. Honestly, I hate movies about the war. But after a day spent watching season one of 'LOST', I really needed something different. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first I didn't realize what it was all about, so i skipped the first 15 to 20 minutes of the movie and then BANG! Okay, the movies is 'For a lost soldier', the story line tells about a young boy, 10, maybe 12 years old, and a Canadian soldier. They meet after the liberation of Netherlands and they kind of fall in love. Well, that's a shock! I mean isn't this a drastic form of pedophilia? There are a couple of scenes showing the man and the youngster doing sexual stuffs, even having sexual intercourse! But hey, wait. That's not all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The storyline tells us what the boy feels, what the boys thinks, what the boy wants. And suddenly I realized something. Sadly I remembered my childhood and the difficult times i have had, my parents' divorce, me, being between them, having no friends I could really talk to. And then, the hung lifeguard at the south beach, he's smile and his friendly attitude. I could say I was going on the beach mostly because of him. He was 24 years old, kind of handsome and he always helped me forget the troubles. So, I think, what's the path that distinguish me from a boy falling in love with and older man? Is it there even a minor possibility that I have missed something in my life? Some experience I might have liked? Being in love with somebody for real, no prejudice, no social stress, no back thoughts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If somebody asked me a day ago what I do think about the relationship between a boy and an adult, I'd surely say - THAT'S SICK, the guy must be in prison and the boy on therapy! Toady, frankly said, I'm not so sure about it. Maybe sometimes the laws of our society are not applicable to all the diversity of human emotions and needs. If not else I think about it, which means I will no longer judge the others by what I have been taught to think about their deeds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the movie, I think it's a romantic and sad story about what the friendship and love can be at times. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-112792253383136348?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=112792253383136348&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/112792253383136348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/112792253383136348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2005/09/shocked.html' title='Shocked!'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17173022.post-112781319023293870</id><published>2005-09-27T12:26:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2005-09-27T12:26:30.236+03:00</updated><title type='text'>First entry</title><content type='html'>He-he&lt;br /&gt;Nice day to start something new!&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully this will work well and I will no longer need to send tons of e-mail to all my friends when i want to share some thoughts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still have doubts if I should write my blog in English or should I use my native language. I'll have to decide this later on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The weather is getting cold in Varna, despite the forecast. The one thing that keeps me warm is something i saw on TV the last Sunday: The perfect relationship is when the love for each other is more powerful than the need to be with each other. I think this makes good sense. I'll try to remember it, in case some relationship shows around the corner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;We were never bored, because we have never being boring...&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17173022-112781319023293870?l=pstj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17173022&amp;postID=112781319023293870&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 коментара'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/112781319023293870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17173022/posts/default/112781319023293870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pstj.blogspot.com/2005/09/first-entry.html' title='First entry'/><author><name>Peter StJ</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425523630769302410</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t4ny2eUXRIo/SRgVBf_lQuI/AAAAAAAAASY/2Wf--vr3NcI/S220/avatarche.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
