Caffeine- don’t let your Mac fall asleep!!!

Written by Katarzyna Myrek on March 1, 2010 – 14:27 -

I have my MacBook up and running 24/7. Usually, when I am away from it I turn off the display, but I am not closing the lid. I also enabled automatic display dimming when computer is not used for 2 minutes. I know it is a short time, but those settings work great for me. Unfortunatelly sometimes when I read for example a long artice auto-dimming display is a bit inconvinient. So I tried to solve my problem in other way than constantly changing settings.

And then I found a small app called Caffeine. It prevents your Mac from dimming display. It is really useful, when you watch youtube or megavideo. It sits in menubar. You can accitwate it by clicking on the icon.

Kindle firmware update 2.3.3 available

Written by Katarzyna Myrek on February 19, 2010 – 12:58 -

I bought my Kindle DX International on February. It was shipped to me with firmware no. 2.3.  It was little slow at the time, especially when I uploaded more than 200 books to the device. A couple days ago Amazon released new firmware 2.3.3.  The main change is the speed of my Kindle. Now it opens a large pdf much, much more faster. Moreover deleting and indexing book also speed up.

Unfortunatelly, I had to apply update manually. My Kindle didn’t want to update on its own. But it is a really easy process.

The Settlers for iPhone updated!

Written by Katarzyna Myrek on February 8, 2010 – 15:01 -

Finally, after a month Gameloft updated one of theirs best game ports for iPhone: The Settlers. Previous version had problems with the last mission in every campaign (in my case game simply crashed when I defeated one of the oponnents).

Now game is 3MB heavier (229.0MB in total) …and for now we don’t know what’s new.

After a couple hours of gameplay I can truly say: they made it! There are no bugs in the game now. I only have one problem now: how to end mayans campaign (it is not as easy as romans).

I was finally able to finish the last mission in Romans campaign ;)
