Avinash Meetoo: Blog

I was reading with envy what people wrote about the defunct Spirited Away application for the Apple Mac. Unfortunately, the app has not been updated for a long time now and it is not Intel-compatible.

Fortunately while reading this, I stumbled upon a comment by someone called pbj:

“It should be also noted that Quicksilver can provide the functionality that [someone else] mentioned, whereby using QS to switch apps can automatically hide all other applications.”

Quicksilver! But I run Quicksilver! And I love it. So I quickly went to check the Preferences and as you can see in the above screenshot, the option to auto-hide applications when switching to another one is found in the Extras section.

One absolutely delicious (and unexpected) consequence is that this auto-hiding also happens when using the normal Alt-tab key combination! And also when clicking on the application in the dock!

It seems that this is my 250th post

The last track played by David Guetta during his show in Mauritius in 2007 was Nirvana’s “Smells like teen spirit” with (how to say it) a predictable consequence on the crowd. In more simple terms, we all went berserk:

I’ve just realised something while reading this.

Everyone on the planet is talking of Web 2.0 (the web as a platform needing lots of bandwidth i.e. for applications like Flickr or YouTube). Here in Mauritius we don’t have the required bandwidth to normally experience Web 1.0 sites correctly (for instance, Amazon can be extremely slow here even when using ADSL.)

So, I can only conclude one thing:

    Mauritius is a Web 0.0 country
