… mammoth cave …
As some of you may know, I am staing in Cyprus which is really kinda hot [in terms of weather].
The whole summer I was dieing from the high temperature, but finally it is getting cool and what I \’ve noticed was that sometimes I am even getting freezy. This is the time of the year I like a lot, because afterwards it will start raining and that\’s what I really dislike :(
So, just caught the moment :)
After reading this nice article about remote controls and the way they suck (too many, too different, too complicated) I thought that possibly, we should end up with a separate box at home which knows all of the devices (along with their remotes), has one touchscreen remote (to use one remote for any number of any kind of equipment just by changing buttons on the touchscreen) which can control all of the user devices as well as provide some additional features like possibly:
– reorder the buttons displayed on the remote
– display only specified buttons (or better have profiling system, which adds another plus like at home, different members of family can use different profiles according to their needs and habits).
– whatever else.
I believe that this is not a very complicated thing, but I also believe that it will make life much easier.
Occasionally found out that one of my favorite computer game is now open-source :) Moreover it can be installed and used not only on Windows, but on Linux, Mac OS and other.
If you feel like you wanna play a nice, calm strategy (in SimCity style) – this is right the game you need.
BTW.: it is a now a multiplayer as well :)
I\’ve been living for 2 years in apartments near the Four Seasons hotel in Limassol and finally I had to move from there. Too many reasons pushed me to do this while main ones are: great rise of price, low service from landlords, more and more bad neighbors…
Unfortunately I didn\’t managed to find something as cheap as I expected to find (even after looking through local news papers with my Cyprus friends and calling a lot of people) but at least I found an apartment for which I feel more or less reasonable to pay this amount of money.

Personally, I was using 3 virtual desktops and today I switched to 4 of them. I wonder how many VD people are usually using (if any) and how to they sort things out between these desktops?
