You must have heard of the saying “eschew obfuscation, espouse elucidation”. This is a “fumblerule”; a rule in english grammar that goes against the very point it wishes to enforce. Brilliant stuff:
- A writer must not shift your point of view.
- Do not put statements in the negative form.
- Avoid commas, that are not necessary.
- Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
- If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times, resist hyperbole.
- Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.
Kuwaiti ISPs recently kicked up a row with their Network Bandwidth Caps (watch the youtube video). I run a WebServer and plenty of other apps that use the bandwidth like nobodys business. So I scoured the web for free software that would tell me which apps on my Mac/PC were guzzling my bandwidth. These were the only ones I could find that were free and presented the data application wise. Enjoy:
For the Mac: Little Snitch
For Windows: Netlimiter (Register and get the Monitor app for free)
If you haven’t already heard, Steve Jobs of Apple resigned today. The quote that truly sums up his contribution (from Gruber’s article):
Jobs’s greatest creation isn’t any Apple product. It is Apple itself
Techcrunch has this nice piece on Steve Jobs-the person (forgive the cliched title). Loved this line:
He’s a buddhist with a temper.
NB : The title of my subject was initially: I wasn’t this sad when Batman died. Then I thought to myself, who are we kidding, Jobs is only resigning and it would be overly melodramatic to compare the two. So I chose Superman :)
