My hard drive died last night.
If I was supposed to do something for you (I remember a translation I promised and an upload I promised to two different people), please bear with me for a couple of days until I manage to sort things out.
Sorry.
Have fun in the meantime.
Edit: BTW, this is not an April's fools joke. It's real. I know the timing is awful.

No love for hotmail
From Boing-boing:

I just simply hate hotmail, so I guess this is amusing for me.
Hotmail users deemed too dumb for employment at firm
Pete says:
A guy, who works in the department of a Human Resources consultancy company, says they made a selection process in which, among other things, they asked for a person with ample experience in using the internet (navigation, searches, formats...).
They received 50 candidacies, from which 30 came from Hotmail-directions, all of them erased as they entered.
The reason: You can't pretend being an internet expert and use a Hotmail account at the same time.

Virtual Stickies!
Lately I'm all about productivity.
I know it won't last, though, because I'm lazy at heart.
But for now, I want to fancy myself a very productive person that GTD (gets things done). Ph33r me.
And in my quest to GTD while struggling through very busy times at work, I found a very interesting website that might very well help one boost one's productivity (or at least combat early signs of Alzheimer's O_O ).
Stikkit.
This is, basically, virtual stick-it notes. Ones that talk to your PDA, your cellphone or your e-mail. =D
You need to create an account (it's free), and then you can start typing "stick-it" notes. You don't need to download anything at all. This works like... hmm... getting an e-mail account at yahoo or gmail. The service is web2 powered, and it seems to work quite well, from what I've been seeing.
What can it do for me? Well, for example, for lists of to-do things, you can ask it to remind you of whatever it is you have to do by e-mailing you when the task is due.
You can also keep a portable list of contacts, be reminded of due bills, birthdays, anniversaries, keep bookmarks, or just jot down notes.
It can be synced to your calendar software -if you use one- or contacts software -if you use one-.
Be reminded of TV shows, release dates, events, meetings, etc. It's like a life cron job. =P (yes, that was nerdy)
I think for now I'm gonna be using it to be reminded of birthdays. =D So, I'm gonna be harrassing your userinfo pages for this purpose. Hehehe. ^_^
I need to set this to work with my cellphone.
The site is very intuitive and very very very easy to use. It will take you only a few minutes to start building your own stickits. However, if anyone thinks a tutorial might be needed, they have very helpful forums with tons of them.
