internet findings and coffee containing drinks
Here's a couple of things that has brought delight to my surfing experience lately.
first and foremost: Facebook: Yes, we too. In the first five minutes since registration, both Sarita and I turned into real addicts. It's just fun to find out which ones of all the friends throughout the years has fell into same trap. I didn't yet add the application to measure the level of addiction, but whenever I'm online, one tab is at facebook.
Secondly, some awesome firefox add-ons.
Locator that adds a command into mouse' right click menu, to quickly place the selected address on googlemaps. Nomore copying, pasting and swapping between programs to find direction from web to anywhere in the world.
CoolIris preview that lets you preview any link by simply moving your mouse over CoolIris icon beside it. The icon pops up by touching the link, and you can choose whether you want the preview open by touching the icon or the link itself, with or without a click, and even the delay in milliseconds. I set it at instant by the icon - and it works perfect.
The name, CoolIris, reminds me of something else, though. Stig Hedström, a swedish prof from CTS shared this story in one class. A senior group from a church in sweden made a trip to Ireland some years ago. Typically to sweds and fins these grannies and grandpa's enjoyed coffee a lot. However, being abroad as they were, it was a challenge to find suitable coffee for the well trained taste. Along the week, one elderly and devoted church lady found a cure, and she asked her fellows to join her to a cozy coffee place just down the road that serves excellent coffee called: Iris kaffe.
Despite some minor flaws in pronounciation, and conceptional miscarriages, I'm sure miss Iris(h) brewed her coffee nice enough to cheer up the entire day. =)
but, what must have the folks in that pub been thinking when all the sudden twenty swedish grannies start coming daily for a couple of Irish coffee's?
I just wish I'd been there...
