ProjectEuler.net – training ground for programmers
One of the more challenging things about poking programming for me is what exactly to code. Most of stuff was already done before (especially which my skills are up to). Rest is either boring or doesn’t last long (I don’t really have a life outside of computer).
I was somewhat interested when I found collection of programming problems at Project Euler. And after spending some time at that site I can say it is perfect training ground.

Run web app in dedicated window of Firefox or Chrome
As I mentioned in my first look at Google Wave browser support is kinda raw. In case of Google products this means they will ignore Opera for some months (if not years).
Keeping Firefox open just for Wave started to annoy me fast and I remembered underknown option – run web app (or any site) in slim dedicated window.

I have spent last two days chained to the couch with notebook (bad, bad, bad month) so it is time for notebook-specific stuff again. :)
Last time it was Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector and Chocobito had recommended in comments another wireless scanner app – inSSIDer.

Google Wave Preview – first look
So I had Wave account for some time, thanks to invitations from regular reader and commenter xangelo of Feet Have Been and rennablue of… I have no idea who this is, no hits in any contacts. :)
By now there is enough stuff on Wave posted to confuse anybody, so for for those who have access to preview version or not either – let’s carefully go over established facts and look at what is defined for sure.

How much longer will we eat pocket computing bullshit?
Some things are better seen in long perspective. And nothing hits you with perspective harder than reading about stuff… and remembering reading exactly same stuff decade ago.
Pocket computing made most promises and delivered least. Just how much longer until we give up believing that crap?

Simplify software installations with silent routines
I like when things just click and work, but some take me months (years) and few approaches (four seems to be magic number) to figure out properly. Curiously it is more about finding easy ways than implementing hard.
Unattended/silent installations minimize amount of unnecessary clicks in software setups and make them fast and convenient.

Use search engines faster in Opera
Google had successfully conditioned us to use search at all occasions. It had also managed to put in the thought that there is Google and there are lesser types of search, not worth attention.
Very untrue and in many occasions specialized and more precise search beats generic. If it only was as fast to use. Opera has extensive functionality to integrate search engines in interface and streamline querying them.
