VLC is an amazing media player for musicians. It's called 'media' player as it plays video besides audio formats, but I'll will focus on its features that makes it great for us, musicians.

1. The first is, it's available for Linux, Apple Mac and Windows. These are the three main Operating Systems musicians use. (read more)

A Rock'n'Roll story about changing of values.

When I was a teenager we used to go at our richer friends' houses. They possessed record players (we couldn't afford them at the time). They had good, really exciting collections of records. From western bands: Led Zeppelin, Doors, Grand Funk, Deep Purple, Joy Division, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd,  Allman Brothers and similar.
From Yugoslavian rock bands: Smak, Time, Teska Industrija, Leb i Sol, Yu Grupa, Korni Grupa, Indexi and similar.

Recently I received a letter from Talk Talk that from a certain date I will no longer have unlimited access to internet, but will have a cup on 40gb. Also, the Telephone and Internet package will get more expensive.

Ok, I thought, we live in times where technology gets more expensive by the day, so fine.

I then emailed customer Services on Talk Talk with a simple question: (read more)

To sync your MUSIC (videos, potos): in your phone, go to Main Menu > Settings > Connections > USB Setting and select Memory Card.

Plug your phone to the computer, and it will show up as 2.1gb file-system. Browse and upload/remove music and other media.

To retrieve and backup your contacts and SMS-messages, install Wammu from the Ubuntu software Centre.

I wanted to have two different Taxonomy Vocabularies Displayed as Blocks and each of them to appear translated in the specific language that a user selects. I didn't want to create separate Taxonomy Vocabularies for each language, but instead wanted to have the same Vocabulary translated and the appropriate language shown.

This is how I did it.

(in a nutshell...) I like the Getting Things Done (GTD) method for organizing my life and am using it more and more often. I work in a few different places using all three major operating systems: Linux, Apple and Windows. Gmail is containing half of my important information. So, I needed an a Time Management tool that I could use it anywhere, would be flexible, highly customizable and also include Gmail as one of the main options. I also use Treo syncing it with Google Calendar via GCALDaemon, thus Google Calendar had to be implemented as well.

I tried Thinking Rock (with Dropbox), GTD Inbox,  Vitalist, and Todoist.

I ended up using Gmail with Multiple inboxes, displaying Google Calendar as gadget, iGoogle with multiple tabs for the various locations displaying one or more Google Tasks. (read more)

TV shows are bothering me.

I do have a feeling that the whole world becomes more stupid with these shows. You can't avoid them: someone around you is watching them. Be it a friend or family or even the TV displays on the stores. The News talk about them the Newspapers talk about them.

Take the Music Idol (Britain's Got Talent, X-factor) and its varieties throughout the world.

It changed the music scene, it gave new opportunities to singers... But it didn't do any good for musicians, nor to help creativity.

LOVE is the answer.
The old, evergreen, the most positive moving force in the Universe. 

Love: we should give love, we all know that. But evenly important we should try to receive love. As much as possible. From our close family, our friends, people around us.
