Android gingerbread doesn’t have an option to choose snooze time?

Seriously, what the hell. Nokia 3310 does have this option. My phone snoozes at 10 mins.

It is really inconvenient. It makes me lose lots of time in the morning in case i don’t wake up on the first alarm.

I can continue to press the snooze button for 1.5 hoursย in the morning ๐Ÿ™

A very stupid .gitignore file :(

I created a .gitignore file and inserted few directories in it. When i ran this command,

git add *

Got this error message

The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:

myfiles/

Use -f if you really want to add them. fatal: no files added

After doing some research on the internet, found this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/6609441

It worked after i added a comment. Now, when i remove the comment, it still works. WTF!?

Programmers’ life suck ๐Ÿ™

KDE Web Shortcuts and Bookmarks

Recently discovered 2 awesome features of KDE desktop environment. ๐Ÿ˜€

1. Web Shortcuts

It allows you to search the web by pressing Alt-F2 anywhere and you can enter your query. Your browser will then display the results accordingly. It’s real handy

Configuration:-

Running the search:-

ย 2. Bookmarks

Dunno since when this feature started working but it is now reading my Firefox bookmarks which is awesome! So, i can access any of my bookmarks easily by pressing Alt+F2 and typing the first few letters and it shows up.
KDE & Linux FTW!!! ๐Ÿ˜€

Google in Creole. What a Mess!?

Seriously, Google in Creole is a ******* joke. Who uses that or even who wants to use that? Translating programs into creole is fun and is done for fun (and also an easy way to fool government that we need creole as a language and hence steal our money) :@

Usually when i’m not logged in on Gmail, Google is in that Creole language. Today, it was in Creole even while logged in. It’s a real PITA to set it to English again.

Going in the preference, it showed me me this. I tried to look for English (UK) or English (US). But it was all translated.

I thought Breton would stand for Britain but it was not. I was further lost into dunno what language. I couldn’t understand any of those untill i finally recognized “Kreole Seselwa”. Then i looked for something that could sound like “Anglais”. And There It Was! Listed as “Angle”ย  :-S

A basic Human Computer Interaction (HCI) principle has been extremely violated here.

People choose their main languages because either they do not understand it or are not at ease with it.

It has always been the case that each language in a list are listed in their own languages. English language should be able to be spotted very quickly.

Google really let me down this time ๐Ÿ™
