Israeli Shortage in High End Laptops

At Yedda (my day job) we recently ordered 3 new laptops. Our spec was very specific (that’s how we are ;-) ): Core Duo 2 running on at least 2Ghz 2Gb of RAM 100Gb or more hard drive WXGA+ screen (1440×960 resolution) 14.1″ screen Non shared memory video card DVD burner The reason we want 14.1″ screens is due to size and weight (some of us, not me, rides on bikes and/or motorcycles to get to the YeddaHQ).

Cross platform, Winamp functionality identical media player ?!

I like WinAmp. It’s a great media player. Always has been. I’m still using it when I use Windows because its not as bloated and heavy as Windows Media Player or iTunes. If you got the right skin you can stick it up at the top of the screen where its reachable, useful, shows you what you are listening to and not get in your way. It also has lots of plugins for every conceivable idea, which is always good. [Read More]

Yedda Twitter – Oh the joy!

I just wanted to let all of you know that we just released a new feature on Yedda which integrates nicely with your Twitter account. You can read the official blog post here. In a nut shell, upon giving Yedda your twitter username and password, you will be able to share your Yedda expecrience with your Twitter friends. We will twitt on behalf of you about questions you ask, answers you give, questions you add to your watch list, thumbs up you give to other answers and questions you are being invited to answer by Yedda (all configurable through the settings screen).

Yedda Twitter .NET / C# Library

This is a bit of shameless promotion but I think it’s worthwhile never the less :-) One of the things I did lately on my day job (Yedda) was to integrate it with Twitter (check the integration here and add Yedda as your friend!). Yedda is all about sharing and us sharing things like code with the rest of the world is no exception. So, without further due, I’m proud to present the Yedda Twitter . [Read More]

Online Life Feed

After reading Grant Robertson’s post – “Taming your own river of news” I’ve decided to use Yahoo Pipes to create my online life feed (it sounds better than “Eran’s river of news”, don’t you think?) You can check it out here. Basically I aggregate the feeds from this blog, my Advanced .NET debugging blog, my Yedda questions, my Yedda answers, my del.icio.us links and my Flickr photostream. These feeds are most of the content I’m generating or contributing to (at least the ones with a feed in it). [Read More]

Thou Shall Create a Widget for All to See

At my day job (Yedda, if you dont already know) we just introduced a whole bunch of new features. Some of the new features includes these cool Widgets that you see on the left side of this blog which allows you to interact with Yedda. The first widget is the AskBox widget – it allows you and your readers to post questions directly from your blog or Web site into Yedda. [Read More]

Yedda and me or why didn’t I post here lately

As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve been very busy with Yedda and it is the main reason why it’s been very quite here. But now, you can check out my Profile at Yedda as well as see questions I’ve answered and questions I’ve asked. And as Yaniv pointed out, this is also a test question. I’m not really into baking and stuff… Technorati : Answers, Eran, Knowledge, Questions, Social Software, Yedda [Read More]

Yedda

I know it has been a little quite around here and on my other blog. I may have hinted a bit in the past that I’m involved in this new and cool project but if I didn’t, I’ll say it out loud, I AM INVOVLED IN A COOL PROJECT :-) That’s the main reason for the quiteness. This project is called Yedda and you are more then welcome to visit the site and the Yedda Blog to get more information. [Read More]
