If you installed Ubuntu 11.04 and after a while the launcher stops auto hiding as it should, it may be because you did some dragging and dropping in an application. For example, if you use Konsole (like I do) and you drag one of Konsole’s tabs to reorganize their order, the launcher will suddenly pop [...]
… don’t use interpreted languages. You know… because of the extra CPU cycles. I had to get it out. Sorry.
If you get question marks after exporting Outlook contacts to a file (like a CSV file), you should try setting the non-Unicode language to your own, as described here, and then export again. If this doesn’t work, I recommend undoing this by going back to the original setting.
This is what I get for reporting news on this blog – having to report change: Facebook will temporarily disable the new contact information sharing it just announced. PC Magazine reports: Facebook announced Tuesday that it will temporarily disable a feature that allowed the social-networking site to share user phone numbers and addresses with app [...]
Facebook announced they’ll be sharing phone numbers and addresses of users with platform application developers. I recommend removing personal information from your Facebook profile (I’ve done it a long time ago.) Also, if you haven’t already turned off Facebook applications in the applications privacy section, maybe it’s time. If you don’t use Facebook applications – [...]
Not too long ago I wrote in a post (How can we take back our privacy?) about the option of expiring our online data, and now some Germans decided to provide software called “X-pire!”, which expires images after a period of time. Still not solving the problem of saving the image and re-posting it, but [...]
Sometimes you have to experience something to really learn a lesson. I heard before about the Hershey’s Kiss experiment and the vast difference between dirt cheap and free, but I had to see it with my own eyes. Before Dindy was free it cost 0.80 USD and I had around one download per day for [...]
Privacy has become a huge issue. We get free (or cheap) and useful services in return for information about us and the potential uses of this information are becoming more frightening over time. If you don’t have anything to hide you might think this is OK, but what if someday someone will make use of [...]
This is an old school web 1.0 idea I had over the weekend. It’s very simple: let’s say you want to leave a message for someone, anonymously or not. You go into the website, put in the person’s email address and the message. The person doesn’t receive any notification about this, and can only see [...]
After over a year of selling Dindy, without much success, I finally made it free. In that year 366 people downloaded Dindy, 105 (28%) kept it on their device, 74 cancelled their order (to get the refund) and 187 paid for it and later on uninstalled it without getting their money back. Dindy’s rating in [...]
