I got too addicted to SciTalks, especially vids related to OpenSource :)

I am buying few servers these days (HP branded) and I was very surprised to find that in order to reduce the initial offer price, one of the offers had 1 year carry-in warranty instead of standard 3 years on-site support. This dropped the price of the offer by approximately CYP300 (USD 700) on each server. The 3 years on-site support was included in the offer as an option. From this time I will be checking the warranty terms (especially from new suppliers).

Due to my huge love with Amarok and recent yachting activities I will be downloading the latest 1.4.6 release of this amazing software as soon as possible at least for it\’s logo

I am not a big fan of swimming in the sea, since I grew up on a river and don\’t like salted water at all, but sometimes I still do enjoy a sea swim. The only thing is that if I go for a swim in the sea, I need to do it with some more interesting way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cGuBR9TsK4

Found a very nice Firefox extension for uploading files to flickr and youtube: Firefox Universal Uploader. It provides some nice features like more filemanager like interface for mentioned services, as well as shows the progress of uploads and so on. Finally it allows me to manage files on flickr and youtube from within Firefox without installing some additional standalone software.
