Come holidays

And I shall be replaying two of my favorite games ever. Submarine Titans (RTS) and Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness (RPG). Maybe Oni (another RPG), the third time, after that. Semi-classics do it for me!

Talk about counting chickens before they hatch…

A reason

I wouldn’t make this a post simply claiming how Chrome beats over all other browsers I’ve used, cause it doesn’t do that entirely. Surely not the Chromium Linux build I use on a daily basis. But what I really loved in it is something that (I think) was derived from its OS-like architecture concept.

I download several files of the same type and the downloaded filenames aren’t quite the format I like them to be in (Say I want mm-dd-yy while its received as mm_dd_yy, my naming braincells are nitpicky just like yours). The great feature of Chromium is that it keeps track of the file even when under download. That’s to say you can move it around from folder to folder, rename it as you desire and it simply won’t complain, even when it is downloading that file. This is a great use-case for me, I start all these downloads and run my renaming script in the main directory of my download after I’m done clicking download for each of the needed file, every week. I later use these files from their proper directories as my script skillfully places them. Wishing Firefox could do this too someday (Or if it has done, I don’t know — I stopped using it on March 13th 2010).

The end of a great site

Its disheartening to see TorrentFreak go down the wrong path with its slew of idiotic posts this month. It was one of the best sites I looked forward to reading every article of. Drunk or not, they cut their own life support. Out of my Google Reader feed, you.

The problem with too many options

As you generally have on anything Linux, is the ability to make things look like this:

Look at the titles, not the graphs.
