I like geotagging & mapping photos. This wee AppleScript finds the location of a photo in the finder & opens OpenStreetMap showing where it was taken. Easily changed for other map webpages. Needs the wonderful exiftool. I run it from FastScripts, also wonderful.

Meno Patton je… Read More »George S. Patton – Generál, ktorý nepoznal ústup

Pancho Villa – Revolucionár, ktorý vtrhol do USA
Notorický psanec, ktorého neskôr celý svet poznal ako Pancha Villu, sa narodil v roku 1878 v maličkej mexickej dedine chudobným rodičom, ktorí ako nevoľníci drieli na obrovskej haciende nejakého bohatého hajzla. Keď mal len pätnásť, otec mu zomrel a on musel ísť drieť na plantáž – zbieral jahody a podobné sračky za dva centy na… Read More »Pancho Villa – Revolucionár, ktorý vtrhol do USA

Nikola Tesla – Najšialenejší vedec všetkých čias
Takmer každý, kto sa čo i len okrajovo motal okolo real-time stratégií, už meno Tesla počul. Všadeprítomné, neustále iskriace cievky srbského boha bleskov ničia životy digitálnych spojeneckých vojakov a rozmetávajú americké bojové stroje na súčiastky už od roku 1996, keď vyšla hra Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Prekvapivo málo ľudí však dnes pozná život a… Read More »Nikola Tesla – Najšialenejší vedec všetkých čias
