It was an ordinary Saturday morning, a bit rainy, a bit grey but otherwise quite normal. So, one by one, I turned on all my four laptops and iMac and proceeded to my usual morning routine…
To say the truth, Vaio laptop isn't mine — a technically challenged college of my [...]It would be cool to have a way to switch “natures” of your Mac OS X, not unlike the way I change Perspectives in Eclipse from PyDev to Java whenever I start hacking different project. Let me illustrate it on one simple example. When I’m at work I’d love to have my work resources connected [...]

It uses somewhat buggy but excellent flickrpy module by James Clarke — works well for me after some small adjustments:
def main(): flickr.API_KEY = constants.API_KEY flickr.API_SECRET = constants.API_SECRET u = flickr.User(id = ’92002612@N00′) sets = u.getPhotosets() for ps in sets: name = ps.title name = name.replace(‘”‘, “‘”).replace(“/”, “_”) folderName = “/Users/kirillov/Pictures/Flickr/%s” % name [...]

Do you remember a while ago I posted about replacing my broken Griffin SmartTalk? Well, they replaced it — indeed they did. And guess what? It got broken again. In the very same place — where the cable connects to the jack. Same symptoms. Same problem. Same product. I decided not to hassle [...]

Yesterday I realised, that I am way too tired of my new iPhone's battery dying at 11PM every day — and if on every day it was dying at 11PM which is somewhat acceptable, on a bad day it died at 9PM just when I was leaving university building, looking forward for 30 minutes [...]
Apparently email replies to Facebook comments which I just spotted is a brand new feature of Facebook:

Got my brand new shiny iPhone 3G today. Surprised? I’m not — apparently, this is the way Apple replaces batteries to some iPhones. That’s too bad that they didn’t give me a replacement 3Gs, but there’re no idiots in there, and, perhaps, they have a stock of old phones (you cannot buy iPhone 3G 16GB [...]
