Why unique projects is not the best to start with.

  1. It may seem easier for #marketers to promote unique stuff. Well, it's mainly an illusion because you can use there those "new project", "revolutionary idea", "unseen..", "check this out", "unique approach", etc.
  2. So much #unknown variables and you are alone there.

ways you can make your computer perform faster

  1. Add more #RAM - at least 2GB for a 32bit system and at least 4GB for a 64bit system.
  2. #CPU - something with more then one cpu cores.

Ziemassvētki (Ziemeļu puslodē)

  1. Ziemeļpolā tagad ir diezgan tumšs. Polārā nakts traucē Ziemassvētku vecītim dāvanas gatavot. Par laimi Skandināvijā netrūkst atomelektro staciju, lai rūpnīcas būtu pietiekami gaišas un nebūtu apgrūtinoši cept, šūt un tranzistorus otrajiem iPad lodēt.
  2. Pingvīniem tagad vasara. Jaunzēlandē lasa #Hobbits grāmatu par Midsummer's eve svinēšanu pie elfiem un gaida, kad ūdens beidzot būs tik silts, lai var peldēties. Un gan jau ir kādi, kas prāto" ehh, cūcība, diena īsāka sāk palikt. (Nu mēs toties varam teikt, mjā, mazāk kā pēc 6 mēneši diena īsāka paliek..)

piektdiena 16.dec #electricity #coffee #PC

  1. Drēgnā bezsniega piektdienā saplīsa elektriskā tējkanna. Ļoti gribējās padzerties karstu kafiju un skrūvgriezis nebija tālu jāmeklē.
  2. Tējkannu testējot, izslēdzas elektrība, vai kā saka, korķus izsita. Izslēdzās nevis atbilstošā bloka drošinātāji, bet arī kopējais.

Questions and Answers

What is 8things?

8things is a virtual place, where everything imaginable is listed, this is a bulletin board for lists, a fridge, on which to leave a message, a quick SMS - basically, an simple and effortless way to write down and share lists. Of course, also a nice place where to waste a couple of minutes on a long day.

How does this work?

Anyone can easily create a list, that'll be publicly available for everyone to see. Generally, we are very open, don't worry too much about the usefulness of your list, if it's interesting to you, that's enough. Tell about your experiences, share your thoughts and advice, or just mess around.

How to get started?

Just click the "Create a list" link, at the top of the page, fill in the title and write a few things, you don't have to hit exactly 8, but that's the target. We don't ask you to register, you can use your Twitter account to sing in, or even post anonymously. Go ahead, have fun, be nice!

Should I sign in?

If you have a Twitter account, we can authenticate you with that - your username will be displayed in the title of lists you write, also we'll offer to post URL of your list to your Twitter timeline, as an easy way to share with your friends. It isn't necessary to sign in, you can post anonymously, though we have to ask you to solve a captcha, in that case.

Formatting options?

You can make text italic with underscores or asterisks, like this: _italic_ or *italic*; bold with double underscores or asterisks: __bold__ or **bold**.
