In the normal using of internet you see interesting stuff and want to keep it in your sight - be it a blog, a news clip or something you want to read later. What you will usually do is to add the page to bookmarks, then another one. Then another and suddenly there are so many of them you loose orientation what did you add them for, and in most cases you can't find that one you really need right now.

Strange friday
That was one strange day - all day... first, since we moved to 5th floor it's so silent in the office that I almost fell asleep, the strange weather and not much to do didn't really help.

Internet stuff - save youtube video
As home "go-to-IT-guru" I find myself often searching internet for useful tools that help the overall internet usage experience. My favorites are add-ons to web browsers and sites that make available some of locked content.
Newly discovered tool is - savetube if you want to have one of youtube movies on your desktop or just the music from it, this nice and easy in use site will help you to do the magic trick.

Cultural Thursday
Thursday the magic day of "museum entry free" will be another part of do something outside home program. Which works quite nice for me as I have exactly 1 hour to visit a chosen exhibition before the museum closes the gates.
Today it was the "Amber - Baltic Sea Gold"
Enter....
There is a family expression that describes a moment in which you have a lack of understanding of obvious steps... to explain it better let me use an example from which the expression came from.
My genius mom was the first one to have internet at work, she used it quite well till one moment... she is writing to me on gadu asking why the hell some site is not opening... to minutes later she writes again "I forgot to push Enter..."
So now, when we forget something completely obvious we call it "enter!".
I used it also to name one of my late blogs - 40+Enter was supposed to be a blog to help people over 40 to work with internet and computer (okay for younger ones too). Unfortunately it was a classic example of straw enthusiasm (quite typical for me... so let's hope this blog will not end the same way). The blog didn't survive long, but hey I have a new blog and I can actually just add the computers/internet topic in. So from now on the tag: enter will be added to all computer/internet related posts.

Slow me down
There is something seriously wrong with network for the past few days. At work surfing lately is composed out of: go to the site, see error message, click on refresh, tadam the site is working - weird. Internet aside, local network (if you can call EMEA wide network local) also has it's humors, one of the files opened for over 10 minutes! Slow internet I can live with, slow company network not so much!
Strange thing is internet at home is doing exactly the same thing - go to, error, refresh, read... hmm need to test a theory that maybe it's Chrome fault and not Internets... but that would be so wrong on so many levels...

"Your mom will not use it...."
Since Google launched their social platform Google+ (or G+ as I saw in net), I'm curiously reading blogs and internet news to track the revolution. One of articles used the above sentence, I don't really agree.
My Mom is a Genius :)

Eye catchers
Window shopping is great past timer if you are bored out of your mind, have no money, or frankly when you just pass by on some other business.
New category of fun: eye-catchers!! You know you will never buy it, but it looks: fantastic, hilarious, funny, awful, cute, kawaii etc.
It's also another way to use the photo camera you have in your phone... cos for what else could you use it?? huh?

Saturday lazy day
Saturday started unusually early. After exhausting week, I fell asleep on the couch at Friday evening instead of writing another part of fanfic. After waking up I decided bed is much more comfortable and simply changed the places, with no real conviction I will sleep again soon. You know how it is, you fell asleep during the day and then toss and turn in the night. This time I just slept, quite long, but still waking up at 7AM. I did standard home cleaning, cat caring, and personal fun and by 12PM I was done with everything including stocking the fridge and drinking coffee.
Then was time for “dolce farniete” which lasted only two hours as I decided it’s time to get myself out of the house.
