Summing '09

a. Expectations of miniature robots.
Let's talk a bit about the Lost ' iron ' forecasts. In late 2008, I was prepared for the boom in the market androidfonov. It occurred in 2009, certainly by purchasing the right model. The only vendor that is more or less supported the offensive Android - HTC. By the end of the year stirred Motorola. The feeling of hibernation still does not leave me. Seen not offensive, and accurate sensing of soil. This is partly due to the desire to once and for all shut up in his belt and held a successful iphone. Why just throw on an elephant, I do not understand. Much nicer pieces to absorb part clumsy whale - Windows Mobile. Anyway, leave the snares to the conscience of marketing. What is alarming, because it is the price. WinMo devices to a different component parts are cheaper than competitors ' free ' and promising platform from Google. Smells like the yellow press, seeking to snatch a draw at the expense of sounding name. disappointed.

Suddenly pleased with my Nokia N900 handheld. No binding to the operators really free platform, high-quality filling device. Why are you reminded of a passage from the Song of explosives, some association with the Northern Finland and Maemo:.

Spite of everything,.
permanently -.
With a star in the legs,.
Without advertising,.
no logos -.
In the clumsy felt boots.

2. Read -not- read.
The situation here is similar to the first point. During the year, only to domestic spaces, a number of new players. Obtained the same type of device and apparently fragile. But Sony got a full-length. The line has replenished the updated model, which is important in metal case. Some e- books have got touch screens. They say that in 2010, will take the start E-ink with integrated modules, wifi, 3g. These options I now really do not have enough. In addition to books like, sitting on the couch, reading rss- tape:-) I almost forgot to mention the main dilemma - support for file formats. It happened in the CIS dominated fb2, as they have in Europe and America about it never heard. It is held in the wake of ePub. So it turns out: you want to be a ' red ' - buy our products. As usual, we have our own way.

3. Passion of the programmatic.
I continue to use Ubuntu. The latest release, named in honor of the koala bear, has surpassed all my expectations. PulseAudio finally led to the human mind, designers have to work hard, the installed system requires virtually no interference playful hands - everything just works as it should. Now let a few words about the used software. Switched from Exaile to Rhythmbox. It turned out, my needs are so minimized that the interface receded into the background. Often lacking the usual playing music library in random mode. The player window opens rarely.
Place of cataloging photos are still vacant.

4. Cause of blogging.
visually '. with marked deck. ' Has not changed. I used the template completely satisfied (if you have any suggestions for improvement, will read with pleasure ). Blogger. com, unfortunately, fell into a recession. Even something boring, long time ago have not changed anything. Advertising on the blog continues to be out next year, nothing will change. Just for fun hanging button 'Donate' in the sidebar. She stayed there for about 8 months, the total inflow amounted to 55 rubles, and then I decided to remove it out of sight, so that traffic is not to spend. What are your plans? . The following positions will be associated with xbmc, boxee and other free projects.

P. S. A curious fact is that without knowing it, opened a blog on the birthday of Linus Torvalds. Today he is 40, and the blog - 2 years:-).
