Such a powerful picture..

I feel that any comment I could ever make would be unnecessary.

If you use Wordpress, you should absolutely upgrade to the latest and greatest version 2.5.

It features an immense amount of new stuff and it’s just brilliant. I especially like the way it now handles pictures and media, a field where I found previous versions were a bit lacking.

You should check out the cool screencast by Matt, and the list of new features.

Enjoy!

I was a pretty fast typist. And by pretty fast, I mean I could type probably somewhere around 80-100 words per minute.

I had noticed, though, that my speed hadn’t variated in years.

I did not use to hunt and peck, of course: I looked at the screen, and I would basically use just two fingers to pick any letter on the keyboard.

So, recently, I remembered an article which talked about Tiger Woods, and how he had to re-make his swing from scratch 3 times in order to be the best.

Driven by inspiration, I went on to do a bit of reading, and got to work, ready to demolish my not optimal but already-pretty-fast-by-any-standards typing technique.

And here I am again, being slow and sluggish all over again. Feeling like a newbie once again.

Sacrificing my productivity for a greater good: in fact, it’s like an investment: I pay the price now, but will make it all back and then some when I will (hopefully) type at 120-150 words per minute.

On a side note: cool projects coming up soon. Stay tuned!

God, the guys at Google do work hard even on their April Fools..

I am writing this with Windows Vista-s built in speech recognition software.
It’s pretty cool although it often guess stuff wrong.

Of course, it took me like twenty times longer to write this post than it would if I had used a keyboard.
But I must say it’s fun to open programs with your voice.

Slow e-mails from password retrieval services suck big time.

Discard all the doubts you are having on wether it is correct to still use the plural “mice” when referring to more than one computer mouse and read on.

Every 4-5 months, I feel the irresistible urge to buy a new mouse.

I’ve got more mice than I’ll ever need. Hell, I have more mice than computers (and I have A LOT of computers).

I don’t know what drives me so crazy about them. I guess it’s the eternal struggle for the perfect performance and comfort.
And it seemed like I had found the holy grail when I got my Logitech G7 mouse. Brilliant mouse, let me tell you.
If only it wasn’t for the fact that a few months later I also purchased the Z-5450 Wireless speaker 5.1 system, which works at the same frequency as the G7 and completely killed its usability: with the speakers turned on it jumps and stutters like if Mohammed Ali were using it.

I’m back to the MX1000.

So now, moral of the story, it’s that time of the year again. I am looking to buy a mouse. There is no way I could ever justify such a purchase, but I want one.

Maybe the G5 (pretty much the corded version of the G7) may be my next victim..
