Windows Commands: Think You Know It All !?
Think you know it all, huh!? Talking about Windows commands… Look at the list below and think twice! :)
Here is the list of Windows "keyboard" commands that come very handy when working with (mostly fixing or configuring) something in Windows. Quick example on how to run these commands: go to "Start -> Run" type the command name, and … magic! a corresponding GUI window appears in front of your eyes! :)
For example to see "network connections" window all you need to do is to go to "Start -> Run", type "ncpa.cpl" and click Enter as shown above – that’s all!

How Apple “Chinesed” My iPod
I have never bought a single thing from Apple before, but, everything has its first "iTouch" :), and I decided to get an iPod for my friend’s birthday.
So here I am on the Apple website filling out all the right forms, giving my extra-sensitive information, and all nine yards.
Since I know that my friend’s b-day is four days from now, I am very concerned this iPod to be delivered as fast as possible and I see my choice of shipping methods Apple offers me which are:
Great, I think, and choose "2Day shipping" – "I am willing to pay $10 for 2 days, time matters more, my friend will be so happy" – I am thinking. 2-3 minutes of clicking and typing go by and here it is "You order was successfully processed!" – splendid!
Coming in to work next morning, opening my gmail, seeing "Apple Store Shipment Notification", having my "internal smiling" moment, and clicking a FedEx link to track this order. Wanna see what I saw? Be my guest:
Did you notice anything interesting? Probably not, cause I did not tell you that I am ordering stuff from United States. Well now, as I told you, take a second look – see anything? My iPod is picked up at 6:16, which is nice – I paid my $10 for it, but wait.. The location does not seem to be familiar -> CN is definitely not US (well at least not yet :) ).
I got so negatively puzzled to see that my iPod was shipped from China! Don’t get me wrong, China is a beautiful country, and I have been there less than a year ago, but common, Apple, can you keep your own warehouse with your own products in you own country!? What did I pay my $10 for?
random thoughts: Thought of trying "Mac OS X Leopard" some time this week, got so upset, will stick to my lovely Ubuntu
November 8th 2007 UPDATE: I received my iPod in exactly two business days – thank you Apple!

Feed Opera with Firefox :)
One of my readers wanted to sign up to my feed using his favorite Opera browser. However failed to do that since Opera does not yet understand "feed://" protocol. Hence, I decided to drop this quick note on how to make Opera delegate feeds to others until the times it’s capable ;)
In Opera go to "Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Programs", click on "Add…", and enter "feed" for Protocol and "firefox", or ANY preferred RSS reader in "Open with other application":
Now click "Ok" followed by another "Ok" and enter a "feed://" address to the address bar, for example this one. Once you hit Enter, you favorite RSS Reader (Firefox in my case) will open this feed, and your Opera will feel much better, since it just delegated a heavy unit of a hard work to somebody else ;)
Happy hacking people!
