linux, easter, software, whishes
So the eggy days is tomorrow. And as always, I update my blog when the Holidays are near and only write about them...
Easter is the time of hope, time to celebrate the birth of new. So I think, it's the right time to post my Linux software whish list
- I whish someone actually makes music production software similar to FruityLoops, with lots of nice instruments and effects.
- I whish GIMP gets layer effects like PhotoShop has (I saw some scripts that try to replicate that functionality, but they aren't that nice...)
- I whish ALSA fixes problems with laptop HD audio soundcards (problems with muting internal speakers)
- I whish native Flash build for x86_64 comes out
- I whish someone develops an application similar to Adobe ImageReady and Macromedia Fireworks for slicing images (and those other nice features).
- I whish...
And the Linux world becomes a better place for me to live.

christmas, gone, feeling
So the Christmas have passed, got some presents... But one thing I'm lacking is that nice and warm Christmas feeling I used to get. For reasons unknown my "Christmas feel" is gone. But since Chrstmas is over it's not a prob anymore.
I just hope I'll have a nice New Year (which I suspect I won't).
Anyway, I whined about lack of Christmas feeling, so this blogpost can be prety much over.
Time to get back into self-deadening activities like movies, PC games, etc.

grey
It's bin a while since I last posted to the blog.
Was kinda busy with university stuff and some other things.
So here I am, sitting in fron of PC and my rooms window. Sky's grey, so is my mood...
Thinking what should I write to the blog and as always, when you feel the need to write - you can't. Everything needs the right time, the time when you feel like it.
Oh well... Another blog post here.

blog, exams, summer, google
It's so nice here in Lithuania. Sun is shining, it's at least 27C every day. I'm soon to melt... And I have to take exams, which is some sort of fun too. Especially when sun is shining and you go to exam all happy and everything.
So what's all the blurb about? Well... Actually nothing. I jsut really wanted to write something.
P.S. I wonder why
http://blogsearch.google.com/ didn't pick my blog?

Scientists have found a way to cure cancer using cheap medicine, but noone takes notice. No financial support, no nothing.

messenger, microsoft, scr, block
...
I just discovered that MSN Messenger blocks any messeges that contains ".scr". That is an extension fror screensaver applications for windows. The reason for this is most likely to block virus spreading as screensavers. Because latly it became quite a trouble, becouse users tend to open any links they get. ".exe" is bad, everyone knows that, but .scr looks safe.
But what if you wanted to paste a link to www.scribd.com?

world, cool, enjoy, good
...
You are wondering what to do, but anythin' that you think of is not what you want? You want to go somewere, but you don't know where? You feel upset? Well you must have a depression.
How to get rid of it?
Well first, try finding reasons why are you upset. If something is bad, if it's something related to your work, love or something that you done and regret. Try thinking about the situation, try convincing yourself it's all OK.
And most of the time it is.
Secondly, think of something you would really want to do. Somthing new or something you always wanted to do. Go sky diving or something like that.
And last, if it doesn't help... Well then go and visit doctor.
There a millions of people that wake up having bad mood everyday, they feel depressed. They have no interest in life, they feel alone. Spending time with good friends and people you love, getting involved in some interesting activities on your free time, enjoying every moment of life and making life of others more enjoyable makes your life better.
So don't be upset, go explore the beautiful world around! It's all OK

joy, nice, depression, spring
So the spring came... Despite of spring depression that some of us get, it's a nice and joyfull time of the year. Lots of sun, which makes us happier and more energetic. The snow begins to melt (for those that live in places that actually have snow in winter). All those nice little "rivers"...
And all those wonders that life isn't goin' as we would like it to. Well I think spring is the time to make our lives flow to the right direction! Time for changes and sun guarantees we have enough energy for that. So put bad thoughts away and start thinking what can you do to make your life a more enjoyfull experiance and when doing that don't forget about friends! Helping each other is a wonderful way to make our lives more enjoyable. More enjoyable for everyone...

page, feature, editing, love
...
Hello everyone.
I just found a nice feature in Opera and wanted to share. I didn't notice it before.
I was helping with his webpage and layout and I noticed I can load page from web, view it's source, edit it click [Apply cahnges] button and my changes get rendered in page view.
So once again... Thank you Opera for making my life easier!

browsers, like, best, love
...
I would like to dedicate my first blog post to... ofcourse Opera!
Such a wonderful browser I use everyday! It's always on. I turn on my PC, I run Opera and it runs until I shutdown.
I used lots of other browsers on Linux and Windows, but I stayed with Opera.
Now... Why do I like it?
Well...
- It's small and contains lots of features!
- It's faster than the other browsers, starts fast, works fast.
- Has a mail client integrated (and it's still small!)
- Supports skins, so I can change the looks when I get bored.
- Custom search. I love that one, I often need tabs (as I play guitar) from Ultimate-Guitar. Quick search saves me time
- Content blocking. You can easily block anoying ads and stuff, that you don't like on the page. Very nice feature!
- Widgets. Weather widget is the most useful one!
- IRC client. Well I need to tell the truth here. Normal chat clients are often better, but when you need to login to some channel very fast, it's very nice to have it in Opera. (opera is always on).
- Notes. Save a download link from YouSendIt, save some info, friends new e-mail, anything!
- BitTorrent downloader. No need for other app too.
- Opera saves memory. Not only Opera consumes less memory than other browsers, but you also save memory by having Mail, IRC clients in one app.
- Ctrl+H. Love it.
- Opera has a nice icon.
- Preview the page by hovering over the tab. Comes in handy when you have lots of tabs open in one window.
- It's free.
- Runs on Windows and Linux.
- Standard compilant. Displays all pages I need right. (Who needs Windows Live search anyway?..)
Have a nice New Year Opera! Keep up the good work!
