Clarity’s blog

Mozilla labs introduced a wickedly cool plugin for Firefox called Ubiquity. The video on that introduces it best, so go and have a look.

Since it’s insanely easy to extend, I’ve just added a Najdi.si web and map search commands to it:

• najdi
• zemljevid

They don’t support preview yet, or inserting into an email (I think :), but I’m working on it.
Edited:

If you have Ubiquity installed it will ask you if you want to subscribe to commands on this page automatically (see information bar at the top of the page). Otherwise you can see the source here, it’s pretty simple:

I don’t know why, but seeing Matt dance just makes me unexplainably happy!

Whew, I migrated to Wordpress. I gave myself 30minutes to do it, but it took about an hour. Still not too bad. Of course I have to redo the theme, this is just a temporary one until I put something better together. At least now the comments should work.

Finally, a movie worth seeing! But perhaps it’s just because I’m such a hopeless romantic, I don’t know.

As we were walking away from the movie, my friend said: it’s such a samsaric movie, isn’t it? But it’s so wonderful we’re not the only ones with such problems.

Indeed… Go and watch it, if you can find it somewhere close to you. For those in Ljubljana, it’s playing in kino Dvor. Starring the always wonderful Audrey Tautou (Emilie), but a big surprise for me was Kelly Reilly.
Of course, I fell in love with all the lesbians in the movie, as always. :))

Had a first party in my new apartment yesterday. A bit late to call it a housewarming party, but I decided to call it that nevertheless.
I’m generally really not a one to host parties. In fact, I’m not sure if I ever hosted any before. Hmm. Perhaps I did a few, but they must’ve really been a few. Generally, I’m quite shy and not very outgoing, so the thought of actually throwing a party always seemed a bit scary. Not to mention that it just seemed like such a hassle. Well, since it scared me so much, I thought it would be a good practice for me. And what did I find out?
Well, it still is a hassle. But it’s also quite nice. I did get caught up a few times when preparing for it to go into the old mode, oh, why am I bothering, this is too much work, I have to get all these things, have to coordinate all these people, and what are we going to do, oh, it’s going to be a terrible party, i’m too boring, … lalalalalala. So, instead of focusing on others, it got all focused on me, and my small thingies. When I noticed it, I just turned it around, thinking of my friends that I’ve invited, how nice it will be for them, and how nice it would be for all of us to have this time together. It was quite interesting how quickly that worked. I do want them to be happy, and me too. And when I do that, it’s really not that much of a hassle at all, it’s actually quite joyful. As the Sakyong says, “Extending yourself to others is the way to happiness”.
And we had a great time, I just let it go how it wanted to go and it was quite laid back, but at the same time very pleasant. There’s really not that much that we need to do to enjoy each other’s company, instead it’s quite enough to just be in each other’s company.

I’m on the train on my way to visit my mother. As some of you might remember, doing that is not too easy for me. Lots of unresolved issues always come up. We’ll see how it goes this time.
(oh, and having internet on the train is quite nice! )

I was buying tickets from Brusells to Limoges and have stumbled upon this useful trick that gives you much cheaper tickets in some cases. First, don’t buy from thalys.com, they are the most expensive.
Second, when you buy from www.voyages-sncf.com, buy each segment separately. For example when I was buying tickets from Brussels to Limoges, when I typed that in the search form I got the final price around 200 EUR. When I booked 2 tickets, one from Brussels-Paris and then Paris-Limoges, the total price was 100 EUR. That’s a 50% saving!
This seems to work for other tickets as well on SNCF. For some reason you don’t get the cheapest rates if you allow the system to make the connections for you. Hope this is helpful for someone.

Interesting list of advice from 43folders. I still have problems with the 5th one, and I’m not sure I agree.
I’d like to be able to respond to every email and not just delete them….
