Honey with SODA flavour!!!

Dear Readers,

A couple of days ago I was at Almaza bus station and I found that some Bees where drinking from and empty CocaCola can someone left

Of course the bee is attracted to the sugar in the can, but I was thinking; shall we be expecting honey with cola flavour. May be you do not know there are a lot of flavours for honey according to the flower on which the bee feeds and of course that changes from one region to the other. There is honey that come from the mountains and that would be the most expensive honey that you can have but I am sure it is well worth it.

Imagine if someone just thought about taking a sip :)

I think the fuzzy drinks company would be happy if they say this and it may inpire them with the idea but let's think about this video in another way; Bees are createure that the scent of flowers to make honey and during this process they polinate other flowers and as a result we do not just get our honey we get all sorts of fruits and vegitables, now if bees can find the sugar in a can on the street, no much pollination will occur. of course you won't care much about bees in the city because who will grow hives in a city, but If reaced a farm that means, that they are cheeting. and this is not pure honey that we will buy from them.

anyway think about it and I would be glad to recieve your comments about this topic.

Save Taskbar Space on Linux

The software I like ( and I do not think that there will ever be an alternative for this one on Windows ) is Kdocker, This simple program docks any window you are running into system tray.

Imagine you are using Real Player to stream music, Real Player is normally consuming some of your taskbar space, so Kdocker puts this Real Player into the system tray just as an icon, which can be hidden and as a result; this program will be safe from accedential closing and you will have your taskbar space without any comprimises.

All you have to do is install Kdocker, add a "non-KDE Application" to the panel, configure it to run Kdocker, and click the icon you have just created and click on the window you want to dock. It is that simple (^_^)

Another progarm that does the same job in a different manner is AllTray You change the way the program starts so it starts in the notification area sadly it does not have as much options as Kdocker.

Command to dock thunderbird

And there is another one that I do not use anymore which is the defualt KasBar panel provided by KDE, but since I do not need the panel everytime I need to dock an application I have to start this panel and close it after docking the application which is really time consuming

Using KasBar to dock Kcalc

The last one that I have not used yet is a command line program, it is called ksystraycmd. you can use it from the command line using this command:  

ksystraycmd --window 'keyword'

These are all the programs I know that can do this job I will add any one I find as soon as I find it.

Introduction

Hello Dear Readers,

This is the first post I write in this blog, so I will tell you a little about myself and what I intend to write in this blog, and Why I named the blog A kid facing the Real World?

Let's start with the last question, Why I named the Blog that way?

Simply because the beginning of the last year was my first contact with the real world, and I am starting to recount my age since then. so at the time of writing this post I am only 9 months :)

This blog is a general purpose blog. Mainly I intend to write the advices I get from people older than me either at work or in my personal life. These advices are unmatchable, they are a real treasure. But, I am sure that you will understand the problem between me and those advices as you read the posts.

Another thing I will write about is Linux, Computers, and a little bit of programming. I am really a big fan of Linux. And for who do not know what Linux is, Linux is an operating system Like Windows or Mac. You use it to operate your computer. 

And I will also write about the Concerts I attend, I can not promise Images for two reasons.

  1. The 2 Mega Pixel camera of the Samsung X820 captures very bad images of the theaters due to high illumination of the theater.
  2. I prefere enjoying the show more than capturing images and videos of it.

And a little bit about everything else.

I hope you enjoy your stay and please do not hesitate about contacting me or commenting about what I write, any comments are highly appreciated.
