Taming Vortex

Last week I have found somewhere on the forums trick how to instantly grab a part of the screen on Mac OS X. It left in my memory, and I had no idea at that time how handy would this be. Just press Cmd-Shift-4, and  there appears a new cursor which allows you to select part of your screen, and saves that screenshot to png file on your desktop.

The second trick allows you to magnify part of the screen under your cursor. It is a new feature of 10.4.8. This was also very handy during the development of the new Vortex database editor. Just press ctrl, and scroll you mouse wheel. Screen smoothly zooms in and out.

Yes, it's here. I finally moved to Madrid. Sorry for not letting know so long, but I was too busy with everything here, specially looking for flat, and I finally have some time to write at least some notice here.

Anyway, I should explain what I'm gonna to do here. I'm here to spend a year here studying at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid at Facultad de informática. I will stay here as student of European-wide university exchange program Erasmus with about other 40 foreign students at the faculty. Madrid seems to be nice place to spend year, and I'm really looking forward to see the life in Spain closer. I also would like to learn Spanish better, and make some new contacts among the people I meet here.

I also plan to make some site only about my stay here, and I have some more content to put on this site too, so stay tuned.
