Firefox: enlighting UI
10 04 2009Decided to state some ways to get lightweight (really-really lightweight) Firefox UI.
The point is to install the right add-ons:
- Chromin Frame
- Hide menubar
- Smart Stop/Reload: combines Reload and Stop buttons in Opera way
Also recommend the followings (at least, I use them):
- Theme:
- Add-ons:
- FoxTab: change tabs in a wooooow-way
- Google:
- Gmail Notifier
- Better Gmail 2: GMail tweaks
- Google Notebook
- Socials:
- Meebo: web-client for most of IMs
- TwitterFox: follow me@Twitter
- Cooliris: browse multimedia on sites you visit in a funky way
- Opera-style:
- ImgLikeOpera: manage images loading
- Speed Dial
- Boss Key: minimize\hide FF
- British English Dictionary

Where are we runnin’ & Who we are?
9 02 2009Who we are? What’re our positions in diverse IT jobs world?
Example: IT guys related to SharePoint.
Information Worker (IW) (I was)
Information Workers include end users, site collection administrators, trainers, and anyone who requires a firm understanding of the end user experience in SharePoint. Many administrators, developers, and designers will also find it valuable in defining the best practices in areas such as site collection management, document management, and business process management. Sessions devoted to IW might include securing content, training your organization or developing a culture of collaboration.
Information Architect/Taxonomist (IA) (I am)
Information Architects include those professionals responsible for aligning SharePoint with the business and technical requirements for fast and easy findability of information in the enterprise. These individuals are usually not thought to be part of a SharePoint deployment, but in reality, if information isn’t described or tagged appropriately, then the information will be difficult to find. Sessions devoted to IA’s might include mapping content types to a taxonomy, understanding the findability tools in SharePoint Server 2007 or learning about information organizational tools in SharePoint Server 2007.
Project Manager (PM) (I will be)
Project managers are nearly always a part of every major technical deployment. SharePoint Server 2007 is no exception. For those who are in the position of managing a SharePoint Server 2007 project, we will have sessions that focus on topics such as understanding SharePoint Server 2007 or building out a project plan for a SharePoint Server 2007 deployment.
Chief Information Officer (CIO) (I want to be
)
CIO’s are busy people with many demands on their time. But this conference will have a number of sessions from which CIOs can directly benefit. No other software product, besides e-mail, will have as wide a touch as your SharePoint Server 2007 deployment. Such deployments, with high visibility, need a solid foundation from which to operate. At this conference, we’ll have sessions covering topic domains such as the development of business requirements and technical requirements for a SharePoint Server 2007 deployment, understanding the overall value SharePoint Server 2007 brings to your organization and learning how to manage change, power and conflict issues that might arise during a SharePoint Server 2007 deployment.

Mobile operators suffer from crisis?
3 12 2008Looks like my mobile operator (“Beeline” brand by Vympelkom) feels the crisis: today they’ve called me with 20% intercity discount offer.
Discount is available for calls from my mobile to city and other mobile operators’ phones in some another region within Russia – it’s the most pricy feature. So they’re trying to make me use it – but I don’t do at all, it’s much cheaper to use VoIP.
Brief analysis of the offer shows they already try to gather cashflow from every possible feature. Not a good sign.
