April 25, 2007 by Dmitry

Nice to see my name in one of the most popular blogs: Russian ecommerce hack tricks post-office in US/Canada.

Inside the box is some useful (and I mean, really useful for a small software company) free stuff from Microsoft which was available only for US/Canada citizens :)

Me in response to a post in forum:

User-friendly software must not only allow user to do something, but also prevent him/her from doing something wrong. This is one of the points of user-friendliness that a lot of developers forget about.

Seems like I’m only posting offtopic here  Well, I’m only CSO (oh, CSR), what do you expect?

For all the Fridayers out there, check out this collection of 79 flash games, some great, some even greater:

I personally recommend “Toon Crisis” (row 6, column 8 ). Great work from Sony.

PS Yeah, and don’t forget to check out www.purescore.com! I’ve got 55 (hey, it used to be 31 a year ago; getting older, I guess). How much have you got?

Kids are allright

PS I want a Pikachu t-shirt too!

Now playing: Sepultura - Refuse(Resist)

Signal vs Noise has Fireside Chat with Seth Godin and Mark Hurst. But the best quote is from Jason Fried (37signals), moderator of the chat:

Vista Signature Edition

January 31, 2007 by Dmitry

Vista Signature Edition BoxSo, Windows Vista has been released yesterday. They even have a limited “Bill Gates Signature” edition (+$10). Quote from Amazon:

Get this limited-availability Signature Edition signed by the world’s richest man and own a little piece of history.

Anybody knows who is the world’s poorest man? I’d like to get his signature and put it on BlogJet. I may even lower the price for this limited edition .

Anyway, just a reminder that BlogJet 2.0 works great under Vista.
