В подготовке к Амстердаму

Самое лучшее путешествие, путешествие без плана. Когда нету плана – нету ненужных надежд и разочарования, что во время плана было лучше.

Без плана тяжко. Есть материальные ограничения, временные ограничения, поэтому план.

Перелопачивая Lonely Planet, wikitravel.org и различные другие ресурсы, нашел замечательную шутку про Амстердам,

There’s an old Amsterdam joke; if to a large group of bicycles going by, you yell out, “Hey, that’s my bike!” about five people will jump off “their” bikes and start running.

Внутренний голос мне подсказывает, что на великах по Амстердаму мы ездить не будем. Машину будем ставить в Park&Ride и передвигаться на общественном транспорте.

Secret of IST [Indian Timezone]

First secret, it is called Indian stretchable time correctly. When you hear I will be ready in 10 minutes, it could be 2 hours or even more. I believe this is specific to different Asian countries.

The interesting way how you can interpret, why they have +30 minutes time-zone. Look at this image,

Rotate Clock 180 which is showing Indian time, change the digits and whoila !!! London time is now.

P.S. Ok, it works only for quarters, 0 15 30 45 minutes.

Apple Developers Sense of Humor.

Humor is about networking. Since I’ve got MacBook every time I’m very surprised, how easy to get working network sharing between Mac-Windows, Windows-Windows scenario asks for more effort.

Well, do you know how Mac OS is showing Windows computer as neighbor, look

It’s kinda of legacy CRT monitor with some error displayed.

Mac OS computer in the network shares face, it looks completely different.

Nice.

However, there supposed to be one bug ! Shall we report it to Apple ?

When you want to connect to remote computer manually,

Finder —> Go —> Connect to Server

Windows PC folder is displayed with nice Apple Cinema display 😦

The difference between Google and Yahoo.

Recently I started to think to switch to from Google to Yahoo.

Cheap flight tickets in Latvia.

There is one flight company in Latvia. <br/>If you will choose this company for traveling, and you will need to purchase tickets directly from their site (not via some third party companies). <br/> Before purchasing tickets for round-trip, look for one-way ticket price (logically, that return ticket should be cheaper, not in Latvia, ok probably this does not work for discount airlines). <br/>I have saved 150 Ls(300$), when purchased two one-way tickets instead of return ticket. <br/>
