Every tried to make your own sushi? We have done it silvester and it was a wonderful party activities. As you can see, the result looks very good and delicious.
Some time has passed since my last post. The reason for that was the first project I was involved at Day. But now I will continue with generating some content. First I will tell you about 2 nice tools. As you maybe know, I like the Mac OS X platform for development. Not only because of the nice look&feel, but also because of tools like spotlight and quicksilver which have changed the way I organize and my data and programs. Honestly I do not really organize it since I use a Mac, because the tools do recurring tasks like finding a document or opening a program without any structure.
Beside my Mac I alo have a Window PC. I think it is good to have more one platform for development and testing (and I also enjoy some Windows games in the evening), but I'm really missing some of the cool Mac tools when I work with my Windows PC. Thus I started looking around and found 2 cool tools for Windows. The first is launchy, which provides a quicksilver like application launcher or Windows. It still misses some advanced features like searching address book entries as quicksilver does. But it provides fast launching of application by only using the keyboard as I like it from my Mac and the set of features may grow soon, because it is open source ;-)
The second tool is Aqua Dock that provides an OS X style dock for Windows systems and can help to organize your desktop the Mac way.
OK, obviously these tools do not look as nice as the Mac versions, but usability matters and they can improve your Windows experience and performance.
I just create a Technorati profile for myself. No you are able to track my publications at my Technorati Profile.
A few weeks ago I was able to install the Mindquarry Desktop Client on a Mobility Office platform that runs on a memory stick. If you don't know Mobility Office, this is a very cool company that provides portable memory devices like memory sticks, mobile phones or iPods with a special software that allows starting applications directly from the device. This means you can not only have you documents and data with you on the road, but also all the applications you need for your daily work.
Below you can find a few pics of the stick itself and a screenshot of Mindquarry running from it. Using the desktop client from that stick allows you to sync your files directly to the stick and take it with you whereever you go.
After some weeks looking around for the possibility to take a look on the iPhone, I finally meet Mehrdad Piroozram last friday. Fortunately he was in US some time ago and he showed me the iPhone he bought there. My first impression was this gadget is a freakin cool toy for geeks. But after some minutes playing around I was so impressed, that I decided to cancel my current phone contract and take the chance to switch at the end of the year.
