What really happened in Odessa?

While western media tells you that in Odessa there were clashes between pro-russian and anti-russian demonstrators, it's quite evident from this video that the pro-russians were simply besieged, lynched, shot at and burned alive by a mob of gangsters.



If you still watch western media, you should at least be aware that it's 95% lies. More or less like German newspapers in Nazi Germany.

Update: judging from these pictures (scary, don't watch if you are too sensitive) the victims were shot and then gasoline was poured on them and they were burned already dead.

Nightmare on Itunes-Iphone Street

Being young and naif, I yielded to the temptation to update my iOS to 7.1.1.

Being really stupid, I did also a "SyncMusic" afterwards.

Catastrophy. The entire content of my IPhone Music disappeared, and I could no longer drag and drop into it anything. Also creating a new Playlist is disabled. Manual Sync disabled altogether. No warning or error message.

Spent hours googling around. Tried all options- enabling or disabling any available sync checkbox didn't help. Nothing could solve the issue.

The only thing that SEEMS to work is to drop my MP3s in "C:\Users\pierre\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes" ,  then do a Music Sync and manually organize in the IPhone the playlist.



Once more, PLEASE DON'T BUY AN IPHONE, it will REALLY make you utterly miserable for his total unpredictability and inflexibility. It's the political equivalent of FASCISM for Smartphones. THEY decide what you can do, according to THEIR rules. It's simply FASCIST that you can't mount the device and access it as a local drive, transferring media files with a simple "cp" command.

They are completely stupid in the way they conceived synchronization - all or none. Only a fascist mind can come up with such a schema, where the user has no options.

I am giving a try to MediaMonkey, I don't want to see ITunes any more in my lifetime.

Git video training by O'Reilly

This one is paying:

http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920017462.do



(the slim guy in black is incredibly verbose and forgets that the listener needs some visual confirmation to be able to anchor the verbal communication... you can be an excellent geek and a very bad teacher. The other speaker seems a bit better, but the black guys keeps competing with him to prove he can talk more - VERY annoying! ). LESS IS MORE. LESS IS MORE. Remember that. Just go straight to the point and don't BLABLABLA me to death.
And you can see the result: 30 minutes only to explain git add and git commit...come on...the 5 people silently listening must have fallen in coma in the meantime...



This one is free:
