2017-03-10 | 3 min readIf you don’t know it yet, the best e-mail client in world is The Bat!. I have never seen anything close to it, simply the best. It is tremendously unfortunate that it’s only available on Windows.
If your company uses Office 365, then you can actually add your corporate e-mail account to The Bat!, because it is accessible via regular IMAP and SMTP, so you don’t have to deal with this horrible Outlook shit.

Juste la fin du monde
2017-02-06 | 1 min readКак мне сказали, “надо иногда смотреть и настоящее кино”.
Это оказалось настолько настоящим, что я не смогу смотреть ничего подобного ещё где-то полгода - у меня ограниченный ресурс на такие вещи.

Google Photos provides just the thing. Well, not exactly, but it provides the core functionality that can be used quite easily.
You say, so what, I will just place them where I host my website/blog, no problem. That’s true, but if you have a limited disk space at your hosting, or you, like me, host your blog on GitHub and don’t want to abuse its hospitality, then it is your case.
