Here is another one, this one was inspired by Ghost In Shell. I was so amazed with the animation, but it was not so fluent in the anime, so I decided to put it altogether in one piece and mix it with my favorite DJ Sashas song.

google buzz

Google Buzz je novi Google-ov servis koji ste, ako imate gmail, siguran sam već do sad primetili a možda i počeli da koristite.

Odmah posle prvog ostavljenog komentara na nekom od Buzz-ova pojavio mi se novi mail, ali nije mail, nego obaveštenje da je neko odgovorio na moj buzz. Nešto kao notifikacija, ali u obliku mail-a. To me je odmah iznerviralo i odmah sam prionuo na posao da mail tog tipa više ne vidi svetlost inbox-a. Pa sam pomislio da bi bilo korisno da isti podelim sa svetom.

Dakle, treba uraditi sledeće:

1. Kliknite na link “Create a filter” odmah pored “Search the web” dugmeta

2. U subject polje unesite “Buzz:” – bey navodnika pa klik na next

3. Otkačite “skip the inbox” i “apply the label” i iz padajućeg menija kliknite na “new label” i stavite ime koje želite, ja sam stavio Buzz

4. Ukoliko želite da se dosadašnji mail-ovi koji su vam stigli ovog oblika isto izbacite iz inbox-a otkačite “Also apply filter to XX conversations below.”

5. Klikom na “Create a filter” će svi do sad i od sad mailovi vezani za buzz ići u novostvoreni label koji će vam se naći u listi desno ispod inbox-a.

Toliko od mene, nadam se da je informacija bila korisna, ukoliko imate pitanja, slobodno ih postavite u komentarima.

telefonski poziv

Danas sam doživeo nešto što se retko dešava svakom a pogotovo dizajneru ili web developer-u. Sajt koji sam uradio za mog dobro prijatelja i profesora Zlatka Silver Telekija mu je dao ponovo nadu u život. Tačnije ćerka, koju nije čuo punih 20 godina, mu se javila telefonom tako što ga je našla preko google pretrage. Kada smo se upoznali, i kada sam doživeo jednog takvog umetnika, imao sam potrebu da mu napravim sajt. Moj drug i ja smo mu objasnili važnost jednog web sajta, pogotovo za umetnike i fotografe. Jer retko koji fotograf može da u toj meri promoviše svoj rad danas kako je to moguće putem elektronskih medija. Posle njegovog pristanka sam uradio sajt u skladu sa njegovim viđenjem sveta (crno-belo). Tako da je sajt urađen crno belom tehnikom, i u veoma minimalstičkom duhu (kakav je i sam Silver). Kako svaki sajt koji napravim i koji održavam, radim i promocije. Tako sam i za ovaj sajt uradio linkovanje i prijave na bitne pretraživače. Tako da sam ukoliko se u google ukuca Zlatko Teleki ili Zlatko Silver Teleki prvi rezultat je sajt zsilvert.co.nr. Iako je ovo besplatan domen kom ne rade putanje, nego je samo redirekcija na poddomen ovog sajta (urban-design.org.uk). Postoji dovoljan broj linkova ka ovom sajtu da ovaj sajt bude visoko kotiran i indexiran od strane google-a.

Veoma mi je drago da sam pomogao mom prijatelju i da je ponovo našao svoj život.

Microsoft Monopoly

Almost three years ago Vista came out, and there was very big NO from all the users of than popular XP. Now three years later, we are facing new OS called Windows 7, and everyone is excited and cannot wait to give Microsoft their money for it. So what is the catch?

I was following the development of Vista when it was in early beta, through RCs and when it RTMed and was finally done, I switched to it. When I first saw the flip-3D and task-bar thumbnail preview, I was thinking, wow, if this is in beta, what will it be in RTM. But Microsoft was under great pressure from hardware industry. They had to make x64 windows, to satisfy the market. Because at that time AMD and Intel were in some kind of cold war. AMD first made the x64 CPU with possibility to execute x86 applications. And that was the great jump for them. Intel, as a more powerful company (I mean, they have more money to invest), very soon released the same thing. Than the war started, and it was looking as the AMD will win. But you all know the results. Let`s get back to MS and Vista. MS has released the first aid XP x64 that I think was not popular at all. And then few years later, Vista came out. Everyone was talking about x64, many new blogs and website was writing if it is better to switch to x64 or not, and so on and so fort. There was few youtube clips of what Vista will look like, and what it should be as Longhorn. There was rumors that MS stole MacOSs effects and Linuxes security tricks.

When I first got my hands on Vista, it was of course x64. I had only 2gb of ram at the moment, but soon enough I bought 2 more. First sentence after trying it for one day was “Niko me puškom na XP neće naterati” or in English: “No one is going to make me switch back to XP, not even with the shotgun”. The start menu search above all was revolutionary for me. And there came 3dsmax 9 x64 and vray 1.5 x64 and so others. But, there is always but. I had some serious problems. BSOD was coming out of nowhere. Restarts and so on … I tried to find the problem, and fix it. After some digging, I found that nvidias drivers was causing problems. And actually it was RAID driver of nforce4. And not just them, the quicktime player was resetting the driver. I uninstalled the quicktime and installed modded drivers, and BSODs seams to have disappeared. But from time to time, a was having BSODs, and a found that my TV Tuner ASUS MyCinema p7131 was faulty. But not at first hand. But I reverted back, and got the new one. The seller was trying to make me think it was Vistas fault, and that I should get back to XP. Everyone was telling me that I was crazy and I should use or XP or Ubuntu. Yes Ubuntu. Ubuntu community got very strong blogosphere than, and everybody was amazed by their flashy effects that were not that useful, just flashy. I must say at this point, that I`m supporting the open source idea, but Blender is not that good as max, Gimp is not that good as Photoshop, and to switch to them, I would have to spend so many hours that I don`t have.

My point is that MS is not to blame; nvidia, apple and the bloggers was very strong at that time, and MSs fault was only that they didn`t realize that. Nvidia developed drivers for nforce chip-set after more than a year that were stable. Apple too. But the bad word was already spread, and everybody hated Vista and Microsoft. SP1 has fixed almost all of the bugs, and SP2 has proven the stability. Today Vista is very good OS. And you can rely on it. But, very small number of people are willing to switch from XP to Vista.

This year Microsoft was announced that they are going to release Windows 7, and that they are going to make Beta testing public. After this Internet was full of information about new OS. Almost all of them was good. But no one was saying that this is Vista in the core. MS paid some blogger (many of them) to make good reviews of new OS. And many people strongly believe what bloggers are saying. Because it`s the power of “friends word”. And now we have optimized Vista with flashy new features, hardware manufacturers had written x64 drivers for Vista that win7 will eat, and we have good marketing behind all of this. Everyone will now pay for new operating system, even if it is just well packed older one. Even the system requirements are the same. I am not saying that win7 is bad. I am just saying that MS could give us all of this features in Vista SP3, but hey … no one would talk about it. So, no one would buy it. And MS would be in serious trouble. And yes, MS was saying that it will ship 7 without Media Player and IE to European countries, but it was all a buzz and good marketing trick.
Come on all of us and help Microsoft grow his monopolistic position.

Da počnem sa citatom predsednika bivše SFRJ Josip Broz-a: “Mogu da kažem, da sam potpuno zadovoljan s` onim što sam vidio”

Počinjem sa ovim, jer smo dva puta sedeli u caffe-u Broz koji ima papirne statue bivših komunističkih lidera: Josip Broz naravno, Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong i Che Guevara. Što je bilo veoma zaniljivo i prijatno iskustvo.

Dakle, Kremašica, Drveni Advokat i ja smo stigli u petak oko podne u Niš ne nadajući se ničemu (tako je najbolje ako mene pitate). Prvi put sam bio na ovakvom skupu blogera. Doduše ranije sam bio na okupljanjima slične vrste … forumi, IM itd itd. Ali ovo je ipak malo drugačije.

Zanimljiv trenutak bio je kada smo ulazili u autobus i trebali da se nađemo sa Drvenim Advokatom i kad je ušla u autobus i mahala nam kao da se poznajemo, a zatim prišla i onda je sledilo upoznavanje. Mogu misliti kako je to ljudima oko nas izgledalo.

Šetnja po gradu, kafa, druženje, upoznavanje ljudi koje smo znali samo virtuelno … sve je to bilo vrlo zanimljivo. Da ne dužim, ostaviću neke moje utiske sa samih predavanja. Prvi dan smo seli da pogledamo predavanja radio amatera, i mogu da kažem da sam bio veoma zainteresovan onim što čujem. Čika je to veoma lepo objašnjavao. BlogOpen tog dana sam preskočio jer je ovo predavanje bilo u istom terminu.

Drveni Advokat, Sad Clown, ITKutak, Kremasica

Predavanje koja su se vodila iz Ubuntu distribucija i druga slične tematike mi iskreno nisu bila previše interesantna, jer je to uglavnom bilo za početnike aka upućivanje u to kako se instalira, koristi step-by-step.

Sledeći dan je bilo problema sa vremenom, tako da su predavanja prebačena u NKC (Niški Kulturni Centar) gde je bilo nekih poučnih, a i nekih po meni veoma, da kažem, čudnih stvari. Imao sam neki čudan utisak da se radi o nekom MLM piramida marketingu, i previše puta sam video Telenor u nekim primerima. Statistički podaci o kojima je bilo reči mislim da nisu baš relevantni. Uzmimo na primer podatak da u srbiji ima milion ipo korisnika interneta … što po meni ne može da se uzima zdravo za gotovo, jer ovde skoro svi mi imamo dinamičke IP adrese, a i konektujemo se na net preko telefona, WiFi hotspot-ova mimo naših kućnih računara, gde svaki put kad restartujemo ruter/modem dobijemo drugu IP adresu, pa samim tim statistički sajtovi nas više puta uzimaju u obzir. Mislim da je nažalost situacija mnoogo gora, i da se na tome više mora raditi. A najveća kočnica u prošlosti za to nam je bio naš dragi Lelekom koji je držao monopol nad svim internet saobraćajem u zemlji, pa tako spadamo u grupu zemalja sa najskupljim paketima po brzini up/down. Što direktno uzrokuje na to da korisnici koji smatraju da je internet luksuz, još uvek nisu prešli na neki broadband net.

I još jedno opažanje koja sam imao, možda ne direktno vezano za ovo predavanje, ali sam nekako došao do tog zaključka opet! U Srbiji manje organizacije koje se bave sličnim ili istim poslom kao što to imaju B92, PopBoks, EXIT, Meken Erikson itd itd nemogu protiv ovog lobija. Znam iz iskustva nekih prijatelja, a i par puta sam indirektno bio sputavan u nekim pokušajima. Recimo sajt koji ja održavam kao administrator RockSerbia.Net je već drugu godinu podnosio zahtev za akreditovanje na EXIT08 i EXIT09 festivalu. Prvi put smo odbijeni jer navodno nismo pravilno popunili formular (pa valjda ako sam web medij i pravim formulare, a uz to imam dovoljno škole iza sebe znam da popunjavam mali formular). Ok bili smo mali, možda im je trebao izgovor da nas odbiju. Ove godine smo takođe pokušali da se akreditujemo, ali smo odbijeni jer nismo dovoljno velik medij >:( , a prijavilo ih se dosta koji su veći. J***te pa na domaćem web-u ima maximalno 5-10 sajtova koji se bave ovom tematikom, i mi smo u tom trenutku imali mnogo veću posetu nego drugi. Ok sad imamo mnogo manju nego tad, jer svi urednici i admini su u vojsci i nemaju vremena dovoljno za objavljivanje vesti. Ovo je samo jedan od mnogih primera gde valiki jedu male, a ima ih dosta nažalost.

Ja razumem na neki način takav stav, jer drže tržište, ali mislim da zdrava konkurencija treba da postoji. Jer šta ako se neko možda ne slaže. ili neće da uđe u saradnju sa ovom “ekipom”, a pritom se bavi sličnim poslom? Naravno ovo nije jedini primer ni kod nas, a ni u svetu, da veliki jedu male. Ali opet mislim da zdrava konkurencija treba da postoji i da “mali” mogu poboljšati kvalitet velikih.

Dosta hejta, ali nisam mogao, a da ne kažem. Inače sam veoma zadovoljan Networking-om kako bi to Blogowski rekao. Jako smo lepo ugošćeni, i upoznali smo mnogo dobrih ljudi. Pozdrav svima i vidimo se na nekom BlogOpen-u, TwittUp-u ili nekom slično gathering-u

Here is the picture I`m going to use:

Breach __ Fissure by ~enm-e

all the credits goes to enm-e from deviant

Open up any pic you want, but I
suggest that you use some illustration, because with photos of people
for example, it could look very weird.
Now duplicate the layer, and invert the new layer (image > adjustments > invert), and set the layer blending to limunosity.

And there you have it:

Inverted > Breach __ Fissure by ~enm-e

The result.

I hope that you find this useful tip …

Google announced “his” new OS. OK we all love Google for many services such as google search, maps, reader, calendar … Chrome … but Chrome OS? What’s the deal with this new OS. As far as i have read, it is a Linux distribution, but it will be very much limited. OK, that may sound just like Mac OS, they had limited their users, and everybody thinks that having Limited but fancy skinned OS is cool. I disagree! But Google has a Brand maybe even bigger than Apple and Microsoft. So it can “sell” anything he likes. Chrome OS is hitting for net-books, that are mainly for web … where Google has the biggest cut of cake. So maybe he will be more successful than WinXP.

The other part of the story is that Google is pushing the cloud computing, which is somehow OK. But, you know, my files are somewhere in the world, and I should trust that someone somewhere? I don’t know. Maybe it is more secure, maybe it is not. We’ll see what the future brings.

Microsoft should be concerned about this, not because Google is going to brings us the miracle, but because he is opening the doors for Open Source Community to average user. Every single hardware manufacturer is going to write drivers for Googles OS. But because it is Linux, it will be installable on every Linux distribution. So more and more software developers are going to make their precious applications for Linux. OMG, I hardly wait to see that day, when I can use Adobe and Autodesk on Linux

So, from one point of view, Google is bringing us nothing new this time, but from the other … he is choosing the side that is against corporations like MS and Apple.
