- I need a logo for a company, logo for a project, and a dozen of icons. Where does one get these things when there are no money to spend? :) #
- @timdetone Yeah, I tried a few of those. It could work really well if they had more icons to choose from. :) #
- Nice Google Chrome extension : Evernote Clearly http://t.co/hR6rdO10 #
- @timdetone I have that option, yes. Just wanted to see if there is any alternative to the favor bank these days. :) #
- Yuppy! Martin Schultz kindly agreed to help me out with the logos and icons. Check his website out – http://t.co/GUFH2CeI #

Day in brief – 2011-11-16
- @forecast I'd love to see forecasts for my friends in selected location (or my current city) for today-tomorrow. I'll manage the rest :) #
- @timdetone LOL :) It says that my godfather is @wordpress . I wonder if there is a way to see by godbrothers and godsisters. :) #
- @KarthikDot Yeah, like they will find it on Twitter. :) #
- @KarthikDot Reminds me of "According to our online survey, 100% of people have and use Internet" :) #
- @timdetone That's very well might be. :) I don't think the 'referrer' for the registration is available through the API… #
- I am sitting at my desk for almost an hour now, staring into the screens, trying to remember what I forgot. COFFEE!!! :) #
- It's only 11am, but I'm hungry already. Wouldn't say no to a huge English breakfast. Too bad will probably have to settle for a sandwich. #

Home security exhibition in Cyprus
A lot has been said about the growing crime levels in Cyprus lately. Even though it is still safer than pretty much any other country in the world (no hard data here, just the feeling), Cyprus can’t pretend that nothing is happening. It was only a matter of time until the security business would pick up. And now, obviously, it did. Cyprus Mail reports the first home security exhibition is to take place in Pafos.
FOR THE first time in Cyprus, security companies from all over the island will gather together in Paphos to participate in a security exhibition which will take place this month. Organised by Peyia neighbourhood watch, the event will showcase everything from cameras and alarms to lights and movement sensors.
According to Peyia Neighbourhood Watch, this is the first event of its type and has the full support of the police. The aim of the event is to highlight the various options available on the market for preventing burglaries and thefts.
Instead of having the security arms race, I’d much prefer things went back to “normal”, the way they were 10-15-20 years ago.
The Click Test – your own usability study group
When I came across The Click Test this morning I had one of those “why oh why didn’t I think of this myself?” moments. Both the idea and implementation are very simple, but extremely useful for anyone involved with interface design, usability studies or web development. When you want to try out a design or user interface concept or element, when you don’t know which version works better, or if you want to find out which element stands out for most people, you need a usability study, and The Click Test gives you everything you need to do one quickly. All you need to do is upload your design and ask the question. It will then be shown to a bunch of people who will answer your question by clicking somewhere in the design. You’ll see the results of your study as a heat map of user interaction. That’s it.
There are applications, even in a form of WordPress plugin, that would allow you to do a similar study directly on your website. That’s not news. But heaving a crowd of people to use for your test – now that’s brilliant. Now you can actually test something before putting it on the live website.
Day in brief – 2011-11-15
- OK, now, I've just passed the whole of #MW3 campaign. Took me about 8 hours. Will try the multiplayer now for a bit. Need rest :) #
- That sums up my 1 day with #MW3 test. The game is awesome. As in an obvious gradual improvement over previous version. I'm happy with it. #
- Tomorrow I will join the ranks of people who are familiar with Battlefield 3. Not today though. My eyes are falling out. Need sleeps. #
- I favorited a @YouTube video http://t.co/n6qwl0KW Jimmy Fallon Does Jim Morrison=The Doors..HD #
- G+: Kubrick movie collections on sale http://t.co/NsHKgEy6 #
- G+: Friday prayer :) Let us pray http://t.co/swoFkwRt #
- G+: My latest Amazon order with Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 has arrived. http://t.co/9f3q9D48 #
- G+: Here is my work setup. http://t.co/nyTRfQQ5 #
- G+: Fascinating! http://t.co/nA5xoBpD #
- @savvides I cannot live without widgets. #
- I'm falling asleep and I can't help it. The rainy weather doesn't help. Too bad I am at the office… #
- @lydsjannet @TEDxNicosia Cool :) If you are going from Limassol – we can share a car. #
- Snow in Troodos mountains in Cyprus in the middle of November. Hmm. http://t.co/O2oGLEaR #
- I was kicked out of GMail and when I logged back in, my Google Chat started to work again. So, it wasn't me, but a bug. Good to know. #
- I favorited a @YouTube video http://t.co/YyUOzwhz that what i call it talent #
- Wikipedia is awesome! Even such a failure of a physics student as myself can use it to figure out difference between Lumen and Candela. #
- @RelatableQuote Being adult and growing up is so overrated! :) #
- My whole life is a struggle. Before lunch – with hunger, after lunch – with sleep. :) #
- Working in IT is awesome. Anywhere they have computers – they need you. Anywhere they don't have computers – they need you EVEN MORE! :) #
- Forecast looks the missing bit of Foursquare for me. Check it out. http://t.co/8oZjrzM0 #
- @timdetone Yup! Nowing where people will be is twice as useful as knowing where they are now. #
- @savvides Thanks for the Forecast app. It's awesome. :-) #
- @timdetone @forecast @foursquare Indeed! #
- @timdetone I've sent a bunch of invites out. Just give them time. :-) #
- @timdetone it also makes things easier for checking in after planning the route. Nice even if you are alone using it. :-) #
- @davefleet @steverubel The fact that you told someone something doesn't mean they kniw it. Opposite true also. #
- @feios via https or via ssh tunnel in port 70 #
- @feios port 80 of course, not 70 #
- Spent an hour playing Battlefield 3. Need a break now, cause I'm bored and annoyed. Will need to play more to get used. I want to like it. #
- @forecast is really awesome! It reminds you to check in or edit your forecast if you haven't acted on it in time. Cool! #
- @forecast Can we, Android users, have a widget please. It would make a nice addition to @foursquare widget on the same work space. Thanks. #
- Dear #Gnome3 sorry but I wasn't happy with you for all six month since I met in you #Fedora15 I'm leaving you for #KDE4 which grew up.Bye. #
- @GyuzelZari А мне нравится. Дождик, гром, молнии – а дома тепло и хорошо. :) #
- @GyuzelZari ну дык погода не виновата в том, что ты по ночам где-то … ну в общем, что ты не дома :) #
