Powerful brainstorming tool designed to take you in inspiring, unexpected directions.

Moodstream streams music and images along with video clips to create a sort of audio-visual mix. There are manny other applications for desktop or mobile that are trying to impose the same effect, like StereoMood or Sourcetone, I for example use on my iPod touch RjDj, but none of them have incorporated a visual element (yet).

Moodstream is able to adjusts its output based on settings users input via some sliders that should describe their state of mind. Happy to Sad, Humorous to Serious, etc. Also the type of transitions between image assets can be controlled by the user, the amount of color vs. black and white imagery, and the type of music.

For the new users to the application we are provided with 6 preset moods as well. Once you’ve entered your mood settings, the application delivers a steady stream of video clips and still images set to short snippets of music (this is where it comes short apart from the rest).

Also if you see a picture or hear some music you like, you can add it to your “moodboard” and get additional information on purchasing it from Getty’s library.

Although is not a new thing or it’s not using some new alien technology Moodstream can be a very useful mashup to use in some of your uninspiring moments so try to make use of it and see how a mood changer can make you feel.

In speranta ca marea majoritatea dintre voi petrec foarte mult timp in fata calculatorului si pentru ca multi nici nu stiu cum sa isi faca viata mai usoara din punct de vedere al sanatatii incercati in primul rand cand ajungeti la birou sau acasa in fata computer-ului din dotare sa va acordati cateva minute sa reflectati asupra conditiei voastre

Ma simt sau nu confortabil pe scaun in fata calculatorului?

Raspunsul trebuie sa fie simplu DA sau BA!

Aici intervine Ergonomia. Desi poate suna ciudat Ergonomia spatiului de munca este o stiinta care se ocupa cu design-ul jobului si echipamentului pentru a se potrivii cu muncitorul. Astfel ca de ce sa nu facem ceva in privinta acestui lucru reusind in acest sens sa ne imbunatatim viata si productivitatea in munca (cat de corporate suna, dar sa nu pierdem din vedere esenta).

Lista punctelor esentiale

Daca cautam putin pe net despre ergonomie si exemple gasim o gramada, unele mai detaliate altele mai simple, ce pierdem noi insa din vedere este faptul ca cele mai importante le putem face fara prea mult efort, astfel ca am agregat o lista cu cele mai importante si usor de facut aspecte in ceea ce priveste ergonomia noastra la locul de munca sau acasa…

Scaunul

Poate cel mai important obiect pe care il avem. Scaunul pe care stam in primul rand trebuie sa fie confortabil, sa iti inspire acel sentiment de plutire ca si cum nu ai avea nimic care sa te sustina, desi sentimentele acestea sunt “scumpe” investitia se amortizeaza in foarte scurt timp.

• Picioarele trebuie sa fie pe podea (lipite) si glezna la 90 de grade.
• Coapsele paralele cu podeaua si genunchii indoiti la 90 de grade
• Intre scaun si genunchi trebuie sa fie cativa centrimetrii liberi
• Coatele sa fie la 90 de grade cand se lucreaza la tastatura
• Lasate pe spate cat mai mult posibil in scaun, astfel o sa iti impui pozitia dreapta

Biroul

Conform ergotron.com biroul trebuie sa indeplineasca cateva caracteristici (eu le-am neglijat la inceput si am regretat mai tarziu cu dureri de tot felul si de mai multe intensitati).

• Inaltimea coatelor de la podea ne spune cat trebuie sa fie inaltimea biroului (coatele trebuie sa fie o extensie a biroului in momentul in care lucram la tastatura)
• Cele mai folosite obiecte de pe birou trebuiesc asezate cat mai aproape de maini astfel incat sa reducem ridicarea repetata a mainilor pentru a le folosii
• Birourile care au un Slider (tava care iese) pentru tastatura fara extensie pentru mouse sunt cele mai nepotrivite pentru lucrul la birou. Mainile trebuie sa stea la acelasi nivel mereu cand lucram.

Monitorul

Poate cel mai neglijat dintre componentele noastre.

• Distanta fata de monitor trebuie sa fie adecvata – lungimea unui brat este cea ideala (circa 50 cm)
• Daca iti permite seteaza monitorul la un unghi (pe verticala) de 10, 20 de grade astfel miscarea gatului va fi minima in momentul in care te uiti la el
• Capul trebuie sa fie intr-o pozitie neutra astfel incat doar ochii sa se miste, nu gatul
• Centreaza monitorul in fata ta, pentru a putea evita rasucirile din gat sau corp
• Linia perpendicula pe monitor de la ochi trebuie sa fie apropiata de partea superioara pentru a evita ridicarea gatului de fiecare data cand cautam continutul pe monitor
• Off – Topic – Refresh-ul monitorului trebuie sa fie de la 75Hz in sus, altfel daca este mai mic ochi vor percepe frame rate-ul foarte subtil si te vor durea (cum fac sa schimb refresh-ul)

Mouse si Tastatura

Deloc neglijabile aceste doua componente pe care le folosim cel mai des in activitatile noastre de zi cu zi.

• Relaxarea este punctul cel mai important, mainile si degetele trebuie sa fie relaxate tot timpul cand se lucreaza la tastatura sau cu mousele
• Mana care misca mousele trebuie sa fie la 90 de grade pentru a permite miscarea completa
• Incheieturile trebuie sa fie cat mai drepte cu putinta cand se foloseste tastatura. Este o conceptie gresita faptul ca stativele pentru tastatura sunt cele mai bune astfel ca aruncatile pe toate

Pauzele lungi si dese cheia marilor succese

Ochii obositi – Cornell’s Ergonomic guide spune ca “Every 15 minutes you should briefly look away from the screen for a minute or two to a more distant scene, preferably something more that 20 feet away. This lets the muscles inside the eye relax. Also, blink your eyes rapidly for a few seconds. This refreshes the tear film and clears dust from the eye surface.”

Stretching – Daca iti faci timp 5 minute si vrei sa rada si colegii de birou de tine poti sa iei in considerare putina gimnastica inainte de a incepe ziua de munca si de ce nu din cand in cand si in timpul zilei.

Wordpress

I’m the Administrator on my WordPress site but my name doesn’t show up as an Author option when posting. This what happened to me one day, when I have checked all my posts.

Well occasionally, WordPress gets stoned and loses the Administrator’s name in the Author dropdown menu. I really do not know why and to be honest I never tried to figure out what is the reason for this bug.

The fix for this one is actually quite simple (although it could look like your are scratching your right ear with your left hand). Here is what  you need to do to fix this bug: …

1. Set up a new, temporary, Admin user then Log out
2. Log back in again as the new user.
3. Navigate to Users and select your old Admin profile.
4. Reduce your old profile down to Subscriber and save the new settings.
5. Update your old profile back to Admin again and save the new settings (funny right )
6. Log out again – Log back in again using your old Admin username.
7. Check that you can now see your name in the Author dropdown in Add/Edit Posts.
8. If all is OK, delete the temporary Admin user. You no longer need it.

I had this problem also with WordPress 2.8 so if you have this problem just do as I did above. Don’t really know if this also happens in WordPress 2.9

Exemplu:

Dar se pare ca acum au si o versiune online care poate fi folosita cu o multitudine de servicii gen Flickr, Youtube, Google etc. Va recomand aceasta aplicatie, eu o folosesc mereu si este nemaipomenita (exemplu colaj)

1. Oricine isi poate face blog, ca de exemplu Nu Stiu

2. Merge sa comentezi folosind cod javascript exemplu la articolu lu ala cu sex-u de mai sus

3. Intrebarea cheie de pe pagina este daca un Trifoi are 0 1 sau 2 foi

Nu mai punem in calcul toate celelalte gaurele de securitate pe care le mai are si faptul ca iti ofera nici un fel de user experience…

Una peste alta Bravos domnilor ati reusit sa faceti un rahat portocaliu.

I tried all these on the latest distribution of Ubuntu as of 17 Sep 2009 wich is 9.04.

Step 1: Download all these files libatm1, br2684ctl, speedtouch_ng – ZIP

Step 2: Install them in the following order:

All the files are in DEB format so there is no need for the terminal just yet (they work as setup exe files in Windows)

1. libatm1 – it should be a new version already in Ubuntu, if this is the case skip the installation

2. br2684ctl

3. speedtouch_ng – Here you will be presented to enter your credentials and some info about your connection. When prompted what connection type to use be very careful to chose PPPOE / ATM then enter your user name (for example 02141xxxxx@SIP1), your password and the values for VPI/VCI (for Romania are 0.35 – google or check your contract for other countries). Also don’t forget to check Connect at startup option here also.

Step 3: Open a terminal window (Applications – Accessories – Terminal) and enter the following lines:

sudo update-rc.d -f pppd-dns remove
sudo update-rc.d pppd-dns start 39 S .

(Don’t miss the point from the second line)

Step 4: Restart and enjoy …

I also use USB ADSL Modem Manager for Gnome, but it doesn’t work every time. You can get it from here.

La fel ca si data trecuta desi acum GMailu s-a prins ca este SPAM poate nu suntem toti asa norocosi, asa ca mare grija unde dai click.

Eu personal am primit 3 pana acum si de fiecare data link-ul acela duce catre o adresa diferita. Deci cel/cei care a/au inceput curatenia de primavara a conturilor (un prieten a patit-o si se pare ca prin Mexic au ajuns banii lui) nu este amator si are mai multe sisteme infectate unde isi tine scriptul
