Day in brief – 2011-07-07

  • @angadn and you still think open source is overrrated? :) Thanks for following, btw. #
  • @angadn Run on a Linux box? It doesn't. Want to collaborate with a few people on a document? It turns into a nightmare. Google Docs! :) #
  • @angadn There is vertical split as well (:vsplit instead of :split). Awesome for writing unit tests. #
  • @angadn pros like what, for example? #
  • @angadn I see. Well, most of these things I don't care about. Probably other FOSS people don't too. To each his own, I guess. #
  • @asaliev @alex_mamchenkov LOL. I guess it was an auto-complete that I didn't notice. Or something. :) #
  • @angadn I'm a Red Hat / Fedora man. Always was. Always will (probably). Using Fedora on desktop and Red Hat / CentOS on server is awesome. #
  • @angadn Apple products have nothing to do with Unix. Even though some are based on it. It's all covered up and hidden. Average Bob wins. :) #
  • @asaliev I had a superhero idea yesterday – BoredMan. Always bored. Can kill enemies with boring stories. Wears a large B on his chest. :) #
  • @angadn Those might be UNIX lovers. They are not Linux lovers though. There is a difference. Linux is open and that's what I love about it. #
  • @asaliev Joker: Why so serious? BoredMan: I'm not serious. I'm bored. :) #

More Picasa Web Albums space for Google+ users

Google Operating System blog tells:

Picasa Web Albums offers more free storage if you are a Google+ user. According to Picasa Web’s help center, “photos up to 2048 x 2048 pixels and videos up to 15 minutes won’t count towards your free storage”. If you upload photos from Google+, they’re automatically resized to 2048 pixels on their longest edge, so they don’t use the 1 GB of free storage that’s available in Picasa Web Albums.

For those of you not on Google+ yet, only pictures up to 800×800 pixels won’t count up on your storage.  You really should let me know your email address and I’ll send you an invite.
