One Art

I first heard it in a movie called "In her Shoes", and I want to share the poem with everyone

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

AppZapper

From Wikipedia:

"AppZapper

AppZapper is an application for Apple's Mac OS X built by the AppZapper Collaborators, Austin Sarner and Brian Ball.

AppZapper is for people who want to confidently try new apps while knowing they can uninstall them easily. Drag one or more unwanted apps onto AppZapper and watch as it finds all the extra files and lets you delete them with a single click. A safety system remembers which apps you want to keep safe, and the log tracks all the files you've zapped."

Testing Google blog search

2005-09-15T10:10:00.000+03:00

I tried searching for my name "Abdullah Tammour" in google's new blog search service at http://www.google.com/blogsearch and it worked fine, but when I used my family name "Tammour" only it didn't list my blog at the top.
So I'll try to put my profile details in the next post and see if google will index this, I also will try to search for META tags that I can put in the blog's template to enhance search results.

iPod nano bag (and a bit of registration weirdness) by Todd Ogasawara -- For those of you wondering about that cool bag for new iPod nanos purchased at Apple Stores, wonder no more. Here's a photo for you to admire :-)

Writely test

2005-09-07T09:48:00.000+03:00

I've received an invitation to test Writely it "allows you to edit documents online with whomever you choose, and then publish them online -- also for whomever you choose.
We've heard it called a "web word processor" and a "wiki with permissions". Both descriptions work for us, but present only the start of the story. Yes, Writely is a web-based, collaborative document editor, but it's also a site in its infancy. To us, it's the beginning of a whole new way of managing projects and websites online."
as quoted from their web site.

The interface and the whole experience is nice.

I want to thank Marc at http://microsoft.weblogsinc.com/ for the invitation.
