I’ve tried a lot of online task managers, but each one of them had some flaws. Usually either it was need of special app installation on desktop or that it wasn’t free (biggest issue). So I was really happy when Android Police recommended Smthngs. Fully online, free and with nice looking app for my phone. What do you need more? It turns out that few things. Below is the list of issues I’ve found in this service.
I saw Prometheus the other day and I must say that it was disappointment. Don’t take me wrong, movie is good, it’s beautiful. However you can for sure save some money and go to 2D version, 3D is lame in this picture. By all means this movie was made correct, what’s not surprising as mister Scott is experienced director and for sure has no problems gaining funds. But correct is not enough in this case. I was expecting something more. I wanted it to kick me in crotch, shock me, make me say wow at least once. But it didn’t. I’ve hoped that it would be next Alien, but it’s not.
At first I must admit that I haven’t read the book. I wanted to as it was recommended by a lot of people whose opinion I value. But the way it’s written is not acceptable for me. Narration is in first person in present time. I’ve considered audiobook for a while, but decided that I even can’t listen to it. Anyway, to my rescue movie was released. I don’t know how much it’s basing on book, but I believe it’s pretty much it.
I’ve recently bought Battlefield 3 and had rather unpleasant opportunity of playing with Origin. Maybe it’s because I’ve bought my copy from third party, not directly from EA, but I’ve had problems with activation. And not only with that. After installation game didn’t want to run at all. But a restart of OS helped here. When I’ve finally launched the game I’ve received such message.
This is email I’ve received from Amazon today:
Hello from Amazon.com,

It’s really good to know that there still are decent companies in the world.
I saw following search phrase in Google Analytics “fb.liox.eu is it safe” for my site. I’ve checked it in Google if you can learn anything about it from other sites and as I’ve expected, you can’t (my site isn’t too popular after all). So let me try to answer it. I know that I wouldn’t be objective as site is mine, but I’ll try to reply as best as I can.

W ciągu ostatnich kilku dni czytałem wiele dobrego o księgarni internetowej Ebookpoint.pl. A to, że ebooki są bez DRM, że są dostępne w trzech formatach w jednej cenie (pdf, mobi, epub), że jest możliwa wysyłka bezpośrednio na Kindle, itd. Jako, że potrzebowałem książki o negocjacjach sprawdziłem ofertę i znalazłem Jednominutowy Negocjator. Cena w porządku, więc przystąpiłem do zakupu. Jako, że nie mieszkam w Polsce i nie mam polskiego konta, wybrałem opcje płatności kartą, która wydawała mi się najszybszą. Zamówienie złożyłem w czwartek (10 listopad) o 21:25, wtedy też dokonałem płatności kartą. Książka była gotowa do pobrania w piątek (11 listopad) o 9:45. Tyle zabrało przetworzenie płatności.
Few days ago I’ve received email from my hosting provider (where I have my VPS, used only as proxy) that they were informed by some company (let them be anonymous this time) about copyright infringement taking place on my server. At thirst I was confused, then I’ve became shocked. As I have no HTTP or FTP server on my VPS installed, I’ve thought that it got compromised. So I’ve checked logs, folders, but found nothing. I’m using only 700 MB from 25GB provided disk space, so it would be rather easy to spot a porn movie (this was content they were referring to) on the drive. Then I’ve checked Google and I’ve found info that some image hosting site was using my IP before me and it was them who were hosting this movie (or just a screenshots from it, email was not very descriptive).
Some time ago I’ve bought “Casino Royale” by Ian Fleming. There was this promo on Amazon, so it cost only 3$ and I’ve said to myself why not. I’ve seen all Bond’s movies already, and liked them a lot (most of them at least), so why not to end this little ignorance and read the book it was based on. So I did. And I liked it, however movie not so much. Daniel Craig as Bond is not for me, and it was more action movie than typical Bond fantasy. I’ve liked the story, the way author written it. The details, like how to play Baccarat or how to make James self-invented drink. Yes, 007 was not always drinking Martini. He had his own drink, and after reading the novel I know why he stopped drinking it. It was intense, movie was shallow. And the best part of this story was that Bond wasn’t a super hero there, he was normal guy (well trained, but still human) with his doubts.
Today I’ve received email from Mozilla that they’ve taken down my add-on. They did that by request from Facebook as trademark infringe claim, because my add-on had Facebook in its name. As to not let the same happen to my text hosting service I’ve changed its name to Text Hoster. I hope that it would be enough as linking to Facebook is really an option for my service, not the main feature.
