  • Wordpress 2.7 Upgrade

    Posted on January 8th, 2009 Timur Asaliev No comments

    I have upgraded to Wordpress 2.7 and I must say that I am speechless about the new dashboard. It looks really fancy!

  • New PC

    Posted on July 3rd, 2008 Timur Asaliev 2 comments

    I got my new PC yesterday:

    • Intel Core 2 Duo e8400 3Ghz 45nm.
    • XFX 8800GT 512Mb
    • 2Gb ram (for the time being)

    About to install linux now

  • Moved to another host

    I’ve just moved to a new host. Things seem to run fine!

  • Annoying Software

    Posted on June 3rd, 2008 Timur Asaliev 2 comments

    After reading Leonid’s blog entry on annoying software I decided to put down my own list. So here it goes

    • Kwrite
      Lack of tabs
    • Gedit
      Lack of ability to shrink a block of code into a one liner. Kwrite has this feature.
    • Firefox 2.x
      What bothers me most about Firefox 2.x is that box with “Remember your password” popup box. I’m glad they changed it in Firefox 3
    • Firefox 3.x
      This could be only me, but the new URL drop down box looks quite messy and It can take me ages to find the URL I need. The drop down menu seems to put emphasis on the title of the page, rather than the URL itself. I’m just so not used to this.
    • Intel Graphics Linux Drivers
      For just being worse than the Windows ones. (Not really a tool, but I just had to mention it)
    • Pidgin ICQ support
      I don’t use ICQ now a lot, but every now and then I have to login and chat to my dad. I’ve got a huge contact list and don’t want everyone to see me online. I do know that there is an “Invisible” option, but that’s just not enough for me. I really enjoy using QIP for Windows because it has a very good manager for your online statuses (like my favourite “Show as offline for all”)
    • Roundcube
      Roundcube is a web-based e-mail client. I like it for it’s simplicity and looks, but it’s Javascript doesn’t work very well. As one of the things that really annoyes me is when you type a huge letter, hit Send and get a popup message saying “Are you sure you want to send an empty email?“. Not amuzing.
      Update: I’m not using the most recent version as it turned out. Will check it out and hope that this bug is not there.

    This seems to be it as I cannot come up with anything else.

  • Blog update

    Just finished upgrading my really old 2.2.something version of wordpress. Everything went nice and smooth. Good job, wordpress community!

    Edit: I’m still looking for a new style..

    I had an arranged visit to a dentist today. Result – 2 new fillings.

    Keep your teeth clean, people.

  • Quake 3 scrims
