Day in brief – 2011-12-16

  • @unitedworx Cool. I'll need to try that. Will get myself an Android table in 2012 for sure. That's my New Year's resolution. :) #
  • @unitedworx A few days ago I was wondering which size is better. Yesterday played with Samsung Galaxy Note a bit. Bigger screens are better. #
  • @unitedworx Agreed. I've seen many parents at parties saved from kids by tablets. Useful at home, but indispensable elsewhere. :) #
  • @unitedworx Agreed. I don't want tablet for a phone. Neither do I want to use phone as a table. By now the difference is obvious. #
  • @unitedworx my son has a netbook with an extra monitor. YouTube and kids' websites with games keep him occupied pretty well too. #OccupyKids #
  • I favorited a @YouTube video http://t.co/Ispwl1s6 "Trick The Bridesmaid" — a Bad Lip Reading of Barack Obama #
  • One of the #ThingsIHate is when someone walks into the office singing a tune and leaves before finishing it.I'll have it in my head all day. #
  • Я ежедневно использую @evernote_ru для складирования заметок о том, как ежедневно использовать @evernote #evernotefan #
  • Smoking in office is banned in Cyprus. Yet our fire alarm is triggered once in a while by bosses smoking in the conference room. #
  • I did something beautiful today. Won't be able to show it though. #

TEDxNicosia photos are online

When I went to TEDxNicosia event last month, I forgot to take my camera.  I was a bit sad to miss such an opportunity.  But during the talks I caught myself thinking that it’s probably for the better that I didn’t have the camera with me.  The talks were so interesting and engaging that I would either forget to take more pictures or miss parts of the talks while making shots.  And then again, sitting in the middle of the row it wouldn’t be too easy to move around.  And we all know how boring are the picture taken from the same place.

Anyway, now all my thoughts are put to rest.  As I mentioned before, TEDxNicosia was very well organized.  And part of that organization was arranging for an excellent photographer – Andri Josef.   I remember seeing Andri all over the place during the event – next to the stage, on the floor, in the cafeteria, and always behind the camera.  She must have taken a gadzillion images during that day!  Now, you can have a look at some of them in TEDxNicosia Gallery, covering the speakers, the venue, the organizers, the attendees, and more.   Here is a check-in image of Michael and me.  We just got our badges, heading for the coffee.

  • I favorited a @YouTube video http://t.co/yJCC6GBr Зима не будет #
  • Our IT is so good they do scheduled works with 45 minute downtime in the middle of the day and week. No wonder cloud computing blooms. #
  • @KarthikDot Agree on the concept. Doubt the date. #
  • @KarthikDot I don't think JS is at its pick yet. And I don't think it will get there in 2012. A couple of yesrs from now – maybe. #
  • @KarthikDot I think more people will realize that they can build cross-platform mobile apps with js. Like #PhoneGap That might be huge. #
