Why human talking to phone like to draw on the paper?

Image
Some people like to draw on paper while talking to phone. Isn't it strange? Why do they like to do such a thing, I asked my self. In my opinion, there are two reasons for that. First , having pen or pencil in hand makes them feel more relaxed. Because usually when speaking to phone talker is receiving important information, and it might be necessary to put down some notes. May it be addresses, dates or hard-to-remember numbers. Also, it is verbal information talker receives, and as soon as words are said, they disappear. Adding down notes allows them more effectively follow conversations. Second , one needs to focus attention on information that is received by ears and ears only. All other senses, meanwhile, must be ignored. And to avoid information that is presented by eyes and usually is unrelated to what conversation companion says, talker draws something very unrelated to the paper and looks at his work without a lot of interest. The received information must to be filtered, t...

Apollo new portal quick review

Image
I had this wonderfull chance to test www.apollo.lv upcomming portal version. In this quick review I’ll start with some imperfections, and finish with some good words afterwards. Probably the most notable and most visible drawback is that portal design lacks flexibility. I really like some competitor portals, mainly because their designs are fluid and takes advantage of higher screen resolutions. This is how new portal design looks at Full High Definition resolution. The code is not W3C valid. Although this is not extremely important, it usually shows, that coder cares about the code he writes, and is able to follow standards. I’ve tested portal loading performance for several times, and average complete site loading time was 10.5 seconds. So that could be faster. Latter site surfing performance is greatly improved when all of the files are loaded into browser cache, but still there are things to improve. One thing is that all JavaScript files that are loaded from one domain should ...

The colors and their internal relationships are very sensitive, and to find ones that look great together are very hard task to accomplish and only experienced artist can do that. Or maybe not?

What does http-equiv stands for?

Many web developers uses meta http-equiv tag, without solid understanding what does it means. http-equiv stands for: hypertext transfer protocol equivalent and is equivalent to HTTP response header. So putting: <http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <META http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> in HTML as meta TAG has the same effect as declaring HTTP response header Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 That is why they are called ‘equivalent’. It is recommended to use HTTP header over HTML http-equiv meta tags. Multiple headers with the same name may be present only if the values may be concatenated.

OS version checks simply checks what version of OS user has, and in case their product is not fully tested on detected OS, installation is aborted. As Windows 7 for now is realively new OS, many older software, released prior to Windows 7 was announced, refuses to run on Windows 7, although they could run perfecty well, but because of OS version check failure, software can not be installed. To overcome this obsticle you need to simply run installation in compability mode. In most cases, what run on Windows Vista will run on Windows 7 as well. Just right click installation file and select TroubleShoot compability. One such example is WinPcap .
