I work in technology sector. And I do round a clock, not only from 9 to 5. It is my bread and butter, it is my hobby, it is the fascination of my life. And with the current rate of change particular in information technology (IT), there is always something new to learn, to try, to talk about. I often post news, thoughts, and reviews. And when I do, this is the category I use.
Via CyberNet News I came across a nice extension for Google Chrome – Atomic Bookmarks. Â When installed it provides a quick access to bookmarks via single click. Â It has a few nice features, such as quick bookmark search and saving of currently open tabs into a new folder with a single click again.
The user interface has a few minor glitches, but if you are using bookmarks in Google Chrome, this add-on is definitely recommended.
If the World War III will ever start, it won’t be for oil or food. Â It will be the whole world jumping on China, in an attempt to destroy every single computer running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.
Octopress – a blogging framework for hackers
Being a very happy WordPress user doesn’t stop me from looking around for alternatives. Â I recently came across Octopress, which is, in some sort, GitHub pages on steroids. Â This is a really neat and geeky approach to tech-savvy bloggers. Recently, version 2.0 has been released.
Octopress comes with:
