If you’ve ever tried to use any version of ACDSee to open a file with unicode characters in the name, you’d find that ACDSee simply doesn’t support unicode characters. That even includes the latest ACDSee Photo Manager 10 and ACDSee Pro 2.

But today I’ve stumbled upon a workaround on ACDSee forums posted earlier this month and it worked beautifully. Thanks to the guy who took time to figure this out.

Scenario

You have more then 2 email accounts from various email providers like your ISP, Gmail, Google for Domains, Yahoo, etc…  Some of them are used for personal purposes, some of them for business, some of them even belong to your significant other. Checking all these on regular basis by opening web browser/logging in is a pain in the buttom so you’ve chosen to use Mozilla Thunderbird to consolidate. Here comes the issue. Because these accounts were added at different times, they’re now not in the order you’d like to see them in. Thunderbird doesn’t have a “Sort Accounts” functionality. What to do?!

Solution

Extension called Folderpane Tools came as a real saver. Glad I didn’t have to start finding and hacking Thunderbird setting files…

Check out the extension here

Looks like 1Password for iPhone’s been released. Now I wonder when will we have Roboform for iPhone? Or should we start working on a Roboform -> 1Password for Mac -> 1Password for iPhone sync mechanism?

Hmmm…

First time in many months I took time to update the site and update Wordpress. Motivation? Wordpress application for the iPhone. (Existing version was too old to support the phone app.) Yep, geeky…

Historically I’ve been extremely bad about updating this site or the blog. But who knows, maybe now that I have a nifty little app on my slick pocket device, things might change? We shall come back to this topic in 6 months or so.

Btw, as you can tell from the post below, I can now post pictures directly from Anywhere, 3G-land. Cool? More like it’s about time Wordpress iPhone app? Excellent.

Cheers.

First post from iPhone.

Recently I came across a pretty cool Armenian dating site and thought I’d share. Seems like it’s fairly new, pretty well built and aimed at single Armenians. Best of all, has a pretty catchy name - NamakNamak.  Namak means a letter in Armenian and there’ve been a lot of songs over the years about NamakNamak.

Definitely recommended to all single Armenians - http://www.NamakNamak.com

Cheers!

After many years of hosting picture gallery, I’ve decided to take it offline. Reasons for doing so are a few. The main one is that nowdays I spend most of my time working and traveling so maintaining the gallery has become a chore which at one time was a pleasure and a hobby.

I keep the archive of everything in the gallery, so if there’s anything you’d like to request from it, please let me know.

Cheers!

Yes, I know I don’t update this thing as often as I should. Mostly because I have too many other things going on and updating this just isn’t one of them. Maybe I’ll find some time in the next few weeks to write about some things i’ve been wanting to discuss:

• Life with Zune
• Life on the road
• Other things I can’t think of at the moment…

 

Few more screenshots (only because Sash wanted)
