"Nu pot adăuga contacte în Yahoo! Messenger" - care e soluția la problemă?

Folosesc și eu Yahoo! Messenger pentru … a sta pe „mess”. :) Recent, am reinstalat Yahoo! Messenger la o variantă mai nouă și am schimbat contul de Yahoo! Surpriză! Nu reușeam să adaug niciun contact nou, stătea, se gândea, și până la urmă îmi dădea eroare la fiecare încercare de a adăuga un contact nou. Care a fost soluția, găsită în urma unei căutări pe Internet? Am dezinstalat complet Yahoo! Messenger, am șters toate fișierele din C:\Program Files\Yahoo! (mi-am făcut, totuși, back-up la arhiva mesajelor) și am reinstalat programul. Ulterior, am putut adăuga contactele, după pofta inimii.

Two mistakes about the video camera & photo camera

de

I own these two: Camera video Sony CX130, Red + Card 8 GB CX130R8GXXDI.EU – eMAG.ro Aparat foto DSLR Nikon D3100, obiectiv 18-55 VR, Black The two mistakes I made while buying them? I paid (around) 1,600 + 2,000 = 3,600 for the two and some extra 3-500 for extra stuff (cards, tripod). I would have been better off with a single device, which could do both movies & photos. I’m not sure how would that device look like, but this would be my bet on. So a photo + videos device would have proved better for me. While in May 2012 (end of it) the price for my photo camera made it a best buy, right now I wouldn’t pick it. There are better alternatives than my camera right now (D3200, D5100, others yet). There are degrees of mistakes, and I estimate I get 80% of what I could have gotten with other extra research. Still, it’s troubling me a bit. Update: I thought about the above and … it doesn’t matter. At that specific time (5 months ago for the photo camera and 10 months ago for the video camera), the decision was top notch. Now it isn’t. Well, it’s rather irrelevant. I doesn’t matter that in 1997 I programmed in Pascal, rather than C++. For that time, it was a good choice. Also, about photo lens – it still puzzles me why I would even bother to read about them. There is no free lunch, a starting good lens is worth, new, more …

On tablet / phone / small screen usage

Tableta GoClever TAB A73

I’ve tested some devices (smartphone / tablet). Some thoughts: The experience is much poorer than on the PC. Much. I find a good pleasure in navigating HotNews on a PC. On a tablet? Not so much. On the other hand, it is better to be entertained on a tablet / phone than on the PC. At the PC I have two options – fun / work. On a tablet / smartphone, since I’m on the road, and I can’t work on them, I have to pick between various types of fun. Thus, the experience is nicer. A physical keyboard means a lot. So does a mouse. Reading stuff on the tablet goes pretty well, as long as there’s nothing else but text (& some photos).

Researching products – it’s for the value also, not only for the better price

Researching products - it's for the value also, not only for the better price

Whenever I buy something online, I do some research. Things which interest me: Price (Is it a cheap product? Where can I get the product at a better price?) Price per value. Have I tested the products? Have other users tested the product? If so, what is their feed-back? Have famous reviewers (magazines & blogs) reviewed the product? What is their opinion? How does the product stand when you look at the top products sold in the category, at eMAG? What’s the product’s place on price.ro Top 10 lists? What’s the brand? Is it a reliable brand? Compatibility with other products in my house. Design. Can I buy the product without caring for warranty, or should I look for a store which gives me good warranty conditions? OK, if I have to pick, I generally pick a combination between „not to expensive” and „top sold products on eMAG”. Then I look for a cheap provider of the product (if I don’t care for the warranty that much). What’s to notice? When I buy a product, the value of the product matters also. It’s not all about the price. Price matters, but isn’t everything.

Buying fruits & vegetables from the supermarket

Buying fruits & vegetables from the supermarket

Until recently, I tended to buy green stuff (vegetables, fruits) from the peasant’s market. After a bit of thinking, I decided:  It’s always OK to buy exotic stuff from the supermarket (I used to do this, already). Buying from peasants gives you a possibility – the fruits & veggies may come from people who don’t do fertilizers. Buying from the supermarket gives you a certainty – you certainly know the origin, and you should know that they generally did things which are legal to the products. I used to see all of the advantages of a peasant’s market, and none of the supermarket’s. Now I see no reason to avoid buying Romanian grapes from Carrefour. I can buy them from peasant’s market, but I can also buy them from Carrefour. It’s about the same.

Protecție anti-spam office[at]office.com

de

Vezi asta frecvent: „Scrieți pe office AT gmail DOT com”. „Trimiteți mail la ionel {at} yahoo {punct} com”. Asta nu e protecție anti-spam, e foarte ușor de programat un robot care să știe de respectivul cod. Nu e deloc greu. E ușor de trecut peste asta. În plus, și metode mai sofisticate (imagine, în loc de text, sau text criptat în JavaScript) pot fi citite de oameni, dacă pui adresa publică pe zeci de site-uri, chiar criptată, va fi citită de oameni și primești tot o formă de mail nesolicitat. Soluția? Eu merg pe formular de contact cu cod de securitate și număr de telefon public. Pe rețelele sociale las opțiunea de trimitere de mesaj privat chiar dacă nu sunt prieten cu X. Notă: de văzut și – BitDefender Antivirus.

How to double the space in Gmail, without losing your email address

de

Gmail offers about 8 GBs of data for free right now. If that’s not enough, and you want to keep your current email address, you can do the following: You have an old Gmail (A) Create a new Gmail address (B). Forward all new mail from the old address (A) to the new one (B) and set to automatically trash the new mail in mail A (it will count in the space only prior to permanent deletion by gmail, which takes some 30 days). Set to never send to SPAM, always to forward. Set B to send mail as A (you use mail B, but you may send as mail A). This is pretty much it.
