Today I finally received my order from Digital Foto Club. Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens and 52mm circular polarizer. Somehow they forgot to put the lens hood in the box. This issue still needs to be cleared out.

Dictionary plugins for Mozilla Firefox
Being a non-native English speaker, I have this mildly often need to lookup the translation of some word in the dictionary. Instead of installing translation software on my computer or visiting one of the online translators every time such a need arises, I chose to use an extension to Mozilla Firefox.
Until now I was using the DictionarySearch extension, which can be configured to lookup in several different dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc. I was mostly happy with the extension, but felt that it could be improved simplified. I didn’t need all those configurations, choices and such. All I wanted was to lookup the translation of either English or Russian word in the Yandex Lingvo.
Today I came across an extension which does exactly that. Lingvo Online! for Mozilla Firefox is a very small and simple extension which does exactly what I want. It adds a context menu which allows quick lookups of selected words.
Outstanding!

PayPal works for Cyprus
Cyprus (together with the other newly added EU members) has made it to the country list of PayPal. The account is somewhat limited, but at least it works. I’ve tested the registration procedure and went through OK. I can now receive and send money, but I can’t get them cashed. This is not a big problem since I can spend them online.
You can donate money to me if you feel like it by using the button below:
If you don’t have any idea on how much to donate, then here are a few ideas for you:
- $1 USD – Thank you.
- $5 USD – Let me know what can I do for you.
- $10 USD – You are special.
- $50 USD – You must be the size of your heart.
- $100 USD – Leave your name and URL in the comments and I will write something nice about your website here.
- $1000 USD – You practically bought my soul. :)
Try it. It should work. Let me know how it goes in the comments.
