Aspects of Cyprus
Aspects of Cyprus is a new website published by Press & Information Office of Cyprus Government. Here is the description from the site itself:
This Presentation contains information about Cyprus covering a wide spectrum of topics such as geography, history, political system, economy, culture and political issues. It also includes a video gallery and a large photographic gallery with more than 300 photographs. Both text and audiovisual material come together with the help of the latest trends in multimedia, generating an indispensable tool for those wishing either to expand their knowledge on Cyprus or simply get acquainted with the island of Aphrodite.
konsole is faster than xterm
I was scrolling through Planet KDE when I saw this post by Kurt Pfeifle. He was saying exactly this:
So we were both very surprised. to see konsole not only being close to xterm’s performance, but being more than double as efficient!
Since I hear a lot of people praising xterm, and since I use konsole on the daily basis, I decide to see if what Kurt says actually works for me. The moment I started konsole and xterm together, I noticed that I have one additional area of interest – background transparency. I am using konsole’s “Transparent, Dark Background” scheme, so I wanted to see if that slows me down by any considerable time compared to the plain setup.
Nokia and the Morse code
It seems that some models of Nokia use Morse code in the ringtones. For example, the notification for SMS. I’ve picked it up here.
Sage Atom/RSS aggregator
If you are one of those people who beleive that Atom/RSS aggregation should be a part of the browser, than try Sage. It is an extension for Firefox, which supports all the usual bells and whistles. Additionally, it supports scaling images to fit in to the window, the way Firefox does it. This post has a screenshot.
