accidentally (via a screenshot @code.google.com) I’ve just found these 3 Wordnet graph online browsers:
)great apps, but “I still haven’t found… “, which is: select 2 nodes and visualize path between them
the time came to use what I found
trying to make it as simple as Ubuntu gets:
sudo apt-get install wordnet libwordnet-querydata-perl libdigest-sha1-perlperl Makefile.PL WNHOME=/usr/share/wordnetdict subdir so: cd /usr/share/wordnet; sudo ln -s . dict or 208 line of next filemake test also change in /usr/share/perl5/WordNet/QueryData.pm line 206 the default dirsamples/sample.pl computer#n#1 notebook#n#1When for the second time I needed to renew my Thawte cert and had problem doing it via FF3 I googled some more (for the first time it was just after the FF3 came out, so I revoked and requested another via FF2 on another machine, but now all machines got FF3) and…
…as it turned out the Bug 399188 – Can’t install Thawte personal e-mail certificate on Windows Vista was still not even signed, but it was not FF problem – it was Vista’s:
“I was able to successfully create, import, export, and install into thunderbird my Thawte freemail cert on Vista by placing Firefox 3.0.1 in compatibility mode for windows xp via the properties box on the shortcut.“
from http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/msg/8aebb893df71957e
yeah, that worked for me though it’s FF 3.0.3 already…
Answers to common Google Chrome objections
“[...]the auto-search-discovery is triggered by search fields on the root page of the domain[...]“
so you have to play a while (which I did after the previous post and after reading Matt Cutts) to see the custom search is even better in Chrome than with GToolbar!
all you have to do is make one search thorough the site, and the custom search field is “remembered” by address bar (under Tab-key-completing) and in NewTab’s right column (this was in the comic – I forgot)
I really like like that… shame, I can’t switch to Chrome right now
yesterday I was so excited reading the comic (great comic!)… a even today’s first 30min. were OK…
but my habits… they just won’t go away…
so ‘why I can’t use GChrome today?’:
I may use Chrome for Calendar and GMail in it separated app windows (without tab bar and omnibox), but for everyday use I’m too tied to my Add-Ons – at the moment (still finishing my thesis) I can’t live without Zotero
also I’m impressed with Chrome’s:
but it’s not enough for my routine
trying to get Wi-Fi connected on new system there’s always the chicken and egg problem: download drivers to get connected <-> connect to download drivers…
so why not get a Wi-Fi USB dongle with a flash card (or a pendrive with a Wi-Fi card) – this way you can always (dependent only on popular USB) connect first installing drivers needed, divered along with the device – drivers not on a CD, but on the device itself!
and since it’s a flash – you can update/add new drivers for any platform
a rys historyczny “jak na to wpadłem?” – w formie podcastu (nagrany na iPAQ, edytowany w Audacity):
Lee LeFever reflects on the CommonCraft style « Jon Udell
10:20 – “[...] in lot of cases explanation problems come from a reliance on the people that know the most about something being the ones responsible for explaining it [...] in the book Made To Stick by Chip and Dan Heath there a passage in there about what they call The Curse of Knowledge. [...] the experts, it’s really hard for them to put themselves in the learners’ position [...] and then what do we do when we need to explain something? – ‘Aahh. Ask the inventor. Ask the expert.’ “
It’s hard to be a tapper. The problem is that tappers have been given knowledge (the song title) that makes it impossible for them to imagine what it’s like to lack that knowledge. When they’re tapping, they can’t imagine what it’s like for the listeners to hear isolated taps rather than a song. This is the Curse of Knowledge. Once we know something, we find it hard to imagine what it was like not to know it. Our knowledge has “cursed” us. And it becomes difficult for us to share our knowledge with others, because we can’t readily re-create our listeners’ state of mind.
The tapper/listener experiment is reenacted every day across the world. The tappers and listeners are CEOs and frontline employees, teachers and students, politicians and voters, marketers and customers, writers and readers. All of these Groups rely on ongoing communication, but, like the tappers and listeners, they suffer from enormous information imbalances. When a CEO discusses “unlocking shareholder value,” there is a tune playing in her head that the employees can’t hear.

“Little Brother” to historia grupy amerykańskich nastolatków, którzy wpadają w poważne kłopoty z jednej tylko przyczyny – nieźle znają się na komputerach
nigdy nie czytałem takich książek, ale poniważ ten temat ten pojawił się też wcześniej tu >
apophenia: Little Brother + the Uglies series = le awesome young adult scifi
Little Brother is the story of a group of friends who are in the middle of an alternate reality game when a terrorist attack shakes San Francisco.
pomyślałem, że może spróbuję, zwłaszcza, że początek można było sobie odsłuchać…
no i masz! nie minęła minuta i słyszę: “I grabbed my bag and folded my laptop three-quarters shut — I didn’t want to blow my downloads — and got ready for the inevitable.“
no co za lameriada!… tak mnie to zraziło, że nie mogłem iść dalej 
domyślam, się, że większość notebooków ma domyślnie ustawione “wstrzymywanie systemu” przy zamknięciu pokrywy (LCD) i ten fakt chciał Doctorow zaznaczyć (bo pewnie też go to irytowało i pomyślał, że większość ludzi ustawiających download na czas kiedy się musi na chwilę oderwać od kompa też tak ma, więc trafi tą bolączką w odbiorców), ale…
może nie jestem młodym hackerem (nie młodym? , ale geekiem na pewno… a jak rozumiem to właśnie do tego dopełnienia zbioru odbiorców Harrego Pottera zwraca się Doctorow… więc jak każdy szanujący się geek customizuję swoje środowisko pracy i jedną z pierwszy rzeczy jakie robię przy każdym nowym systemie na każdym notebooku (nawet, gdy customizuję pod kogoś innego) to właśnie przełączenie domyślnego ustawienia opcji zasilania dla lid close action (czy jak tam) na … na none (czy do nothing)
z zacytowanego tekstu wnioskuję, że Doctorow nigdy nie widział (nawet nie pomyślał o) takiej opcji, więc nie może on być nawet partnerem w rozmowie geeków… a co dopiero ich guru 
no chyba, że rzeczywiście (jak przypadkach 2 cytowanych powyżej blogów) mówimy o “geekach – nie informatykach“… choć ten argument do mnie nie przemawia
