A cool trick for Google Chrome users

de

In Mozilla FireFox one of the cool features is “search & go”; so, I go to the address bar and type something: “wikipedia”, instead of “en.wikipedia.org”; FireFox does a cool trick – it searches on Google for “Wikipedia” and does an “I’m feeling lucky” button hit (so, if I search for Wikipedia, it’s obvious I want to go the web site; if I type something that’s ambiguous, Google will do a search for me and present me the results);

In Chrome, I want to do the same thing – type something in the address bar, do a search for it, and go to the first result;

The one solution for work – intense

de

Seth GODIN says: “If you’re going to work… work hard.” Nothing fancy. How to implement this? Don’t have a smartphone; you’ll work in a non-intense way, most of the time, instead of focusing on working very intense in smaller period of times; instead, get a voice & SMS phone; Don’t have a laptop; you’ll have to use a small monitor (instead of a 22+ inches one), a small keyboard (instead of a full-size one), and, in most cases, a lower capabilities machine; instead, get a regular PC; and for the same powers as a laptop, you’ll pay less, or for the same money, you’ll get a better machine; Have times for work and times for leisure; in working time don’t check mail, don’t go on Facebook, avoid doing anything else but work; when leisure time, have fun; but split the two; Do you have any other solutions?

On the 28th to 29th of May, 2011, I went from Oltenița to Călărași on the Danube, via kayak. A total of 55 km in total, made in two days: 30 + 25. The days were sunny and the camping site (we spent the night on an island, in tents) was welcoming. The organizers provided (some of) the participants with kayaks.

Other details (from Costin IATAN):
