Buzz your friends! (in Québec!)

Here we have another social-sharing tool!

Google quietly launched his Google Buzz  today. The thing is implemented in Gmail so far and there is a mobile version too. It takes automatically posts from your blog, Picasa, Twitter, Flicker, and Google Reader and post them as new "buzz-feeds" on which your selected friends can comment, add photos, etc. I've been linked with friends I write often with and who I follow in Reader.
Watch a video about Buzz and happy buzzing! :)






< And now about something completely different... >

Next week is so called Reading week, the time dedicated for midterms and studying, so no lectures at all! Does a bell ring? Sure - the ideal time for traveling! ;)
On Saturday I'm leaving through Toronto to Montreal, where (together with other guys) we will stay till Monday, then we'll rent a car and move to Quebec City for another two days. Return day to Waterloo is next Thursday.

I can't wait! So far I haven't been anywhere but Toronto and I'm already desperately missing some action! Also I'm looking forward to hear and experience Quebec's French roots :)

New notebook!

Today, finally after long waiting, my new ThinkPad T410 arrived! My first impressions are only positive. Also new Win 7 seems to be better then ever before. Evidently Redmond guys took some ideas from fruit-oriented company, which is not bad at all :) New touchpad is multitouch and supports similar actions like the one in OSX (plus there is TrackPoint). Main parameters follow:

  • 14.1" WXGA+ matt screen (the main reason I decided for this model)
  • Intel i5 CPU
  • 320 GB HDD
  • 4GB RAM
  • 6 cell battery 
  • 2.27 kg
  • Win 7 pro
  • eSata, FireWire, Dislay Port, Card reader.
