Wireless overload

Standard

Usually there is no wifi signal when you (desperately) need it. But not when I went outside of my flat on a terrace and brought a notebook with me instead of my regular and favorite “company” for the terrace – a drink :) This time I would have had a completely different problem – to find my own network, but fortunately Mac OS sorts the networks in alphabetical order in case it does not remember them well (which it apparently does not).

 

Track of the week

Standard

Cyantific – Mirador [Play]

I was about to declare the track of last week, but then I decided not to do so as the track sounded a bit like oldchool (yes, it was released in 2001!)  J Majik ft. Kathy Brown – Love is not a game. But now after hearing it again in BenXO show I know it deserves the title.

Regular desk phone with YouTube, but …

Standard

Regular desk VoIP phone with YouTube? WTF! I could not belive it, but I have seen it myself – GrandStream GXV3175 phone featuring touch display and YouTube as one of the “apps” on it.

I could understand clock or weather widgets on the screen. Maybe even a currency converter, but who would watch the videos on desk phone? The answer was much simpler than I though – nobody, because it did not work with any video it offered and I tried. It just does not work, all my attempts ended up with “Sorry, this video contains content from other sites” message. Come on.

And that is not the only issue with the phone from what I heard from my colleague who bought it as a gift to his parents. Apart from crappy touchscreen technology and weird UI I experienced while trying YouTube, he told me the main problem is it can not receive calls, it just does not ring :) Oops.

 

Twin Peaks like breakfast

Standard

I went by chance into the folder with old unnamed photos and found a documentary picture of a Twin Peaks like breakfast we made with the colleagues in CZ.NIC. If I remember correctly it was on Friday. Does it mean anything for the Friday tommorrow?

Should I have a coffee “black as midnight on a moonless night“? Or does it mean just to double check there is no fish in the percolator before having a cup of coffee? Or maybe there will be new issue of Flesh World magazine available?
