Canon's replacement for the EOS 20D is coming.

It seems, the brand new Canon EOS 35D, is coming on the 21st of February. Rumours have it that there's a new auto-sensor cleaning function (no more blower/pecpads/eclipse dust removal chores). [Update: The camera is actually named 30D and it seems like a very minor upgrade to the 20D.]

How-to: Μiniposts στο WordPress 2.0

Επειδή από καιρό με έχουν ρωτήσει μερικά άτομα (και κυρίως o Κωστής) πως γίνεται, και καθώς τελείωσα τις σχετικές μετατροπές στο δικό μου μπλόγκ, αποφάσισα να γράψω έναν μικρό οδηγό ώστε όποιος ενδιαφέρεται να καθήσει να προσθέσει υποστήριξη και αυτός στο δικό του. Οι περισσότερες πληροφορίες που παραθέτω υπάρχουν κατα κανόνα ήδη διαθέσιμες, στο διαδίκτυο.

Waiting for Xgl

David Reveman of Novell, recently posted this video online. Ah, another six months I guess until this becomes commonplace. If only it were accompanied by the necessary usability and aesthetics revamp..

Internet ramblings, revisited.

I have written about my opinion on the role of internet service providers and their network providers. With everyone having a blog in Europe concerned with the Jyllands-Posten crisis, I’ll beg to differ, refrain from providing a fragmented opinion piece (covering this issue in one weblog entry, or five for that matter, is not really […]

ΕΡΤ Ψηφιακή και DTT στην Ελλάδα.

Μετά το ολιγόημερο ταξίδι μου στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, όπου μπορεί κανείς να απολάυσει ποιοτική (και τεχνικώς αλλά και από πλευράς περιεχομένου, ιδιαίτερα εν συγκρίσει με τα δικά μας χάλια) ψηφιακή τηλεόραση, επέστρεψα στην Ελλάδα και είπα να ρίξω μια ματιά στο τι συμβάινει εδώ.

WordPress 2.0.1 and contrast of cultures.

Just noticed in the WordPress dashboard that 2.0.1 is out. You may want to get it, if you use WordPress. According to their page, they have closed 114 bugs since version 2.0. While in the UK these past two days, I spent some time watching the BBC while working at the computer. With the window […]

Hybrid TV interfaces for the Mac?

The hellenic government-owned TV broadcaster, ERT, recently announced their pilot DTT (Digital Terrestial Television) programme starting this spring. Having no TV interface on the Mac, I have started looking around for a Mac compatible hybrid analogue+DTT USB 2.0 interface. For Windows there’s Terratec’s Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS. For the Mac there’s nothing. Funny. Elgato […]

Ελληνική ΒικιΠαιδεία.

Το Downfall κέρδισε το βραβείο παγκοσμίου κινηματογράφου του BBC 4 και η Ελληνική ΒικιΠαιδεία χρειάζεται επειγόντως εμπλουτισμό και διορθώσεις...

Pyxis.

I’ve been meaning to release Pyxis for a long time now. It’s a small GPS application for the Mac, ‘dripping with Aqua beauty’, [other apple-like marketing crap here], fully functioning and quite polished, but there are several things that keep me from releasing it.
