New URL for blog
Hi,
since this is now pretty much my personal blog, I’ve decided to get a new URL for it. You can now read it on http://blog.vucica.net/ and that’s where it’ll stay. At the same time, I’ve renamed it to “ivucica blog” to show it’s the blog of my Primary Person(tm).
The old URL, http://khaoticone.blogspot.com/, is still active and redirects to the new site.
To anyone who’s reading this, I hope you’re enjoying. Drop a comment now and then, or at least click on the “opinion checkboxes” below the posts to indicate what you thought about it. Feedback is cool.
Windows XP EULA is quite complex
And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. You have to read between the lines letters. Each simple Latin letter, each simple glyph in fact consists of such fractal-like complexity that each one can stand for itself and tell the world a story of biblical proportions.

Mount remote GNU/Linux filesystem over SSH wth Dokan
If you are impaired with Windows, and you want something similar to sshfs (that is, mount a remote system as a local drive) look no further:
It’s originally Japanese, and suffers from a bit of Engrish, but it is free and obviously developed by a genius, so it’s all forgiven.
Hiroki Asakawa, thank you!
Yahoo! Search uses Google Gears for local storage?
Update, August 9th 2009: It’s used only on Google Chrome, and it’s used by the Search Pad for improving the user experience by speeding up responsiveness. I’ve recently written a new post on the subject.
I’ve just used Yahoo! Search in Google Chrome. I got a typical Gears popup asking me if I want to let the web site use Gears. I still have no idea why Yahoo! suddenly likes using a Google product; neither Google Search nor Yahoo! Search are helpful for several keywords.
Yahoo!’s Search blog doesn’t mention it either.
Any info, anyone?
Word 2007 has a very low memory footprint?
With two open documents (admittedly, no pictures) Word 2007 took only 2MB active memory, and 16MB virtual memory, according to task manager. Sounds to me like Microsoft should give up on working on OSes and development environments.
Why? Last few days was a torture for me, trying to handle Firefox (300-500MB VMem), Visual Studio (regularly 400-500MB VMem) and Windows Live Messenger (50MB) at the same time. On a laptop with 512MB RAM, and paging file on a very fragmented volume. Admittedly I ran only WLM during last evening, but still, even without it it was a horrible experience.
Worst part of all? Mozilla’s Firefox 3.5 is supposed to be fastest and lightest (and according to some test, it does take least memory). But if after several hours of work it cannot release the resources, someone’s done their job in a very sloppy manner. I have only Blogger open at the moment, and Firefox’s RAM usage is 294MB and VMem usage is 476MB. And I restarted it about an hour ago, and in the meantime I was studying from a PDF file, not surfing (effective surfing time? about 10-15min) What went wrong there?
Sounds to me like many many MS and non-MS teams could learn some lessons from Word 2007 team. Even UI design: once you get over the initial shock of the Ribbon interface, and once you understand it’s a very intelligent substitute for a toolbar, not menu, you can handle it. But that’s another topic, and I’ll say a few words later on. Who knows? Maybe in a few years someone will go and dig this blog’s archives out.
