Leave a reply

Boost your creativity with BundleHunt’s Creativity Bundle! Partnered with 14 of the world’s finest web designers and developers, Creativity Bundle offers just too much for so little.

Creativity Bundle

Containing almost everything you might need, let it be premium WordPress themes, Adobe certified training courses or SmashingMagazine e-books or some design resources (vector icon sets etc.).. Creativity Bundle has it all.

And moreover, it’s just for silly $7 (btw this bundle is “worth unbundled” $463, so think about it).

19 hours left!

Be warned! This promotion, as awesome as it sounds, lasts for limited time only – that being said, it’s just about 19 hours left ATM, so don’t miss this chance and go ahead and buy yours at http://bundlehunt.com :) And be fair and share this, so others can benefit as well!

Btw with gaming Humble Bundle, it’s awesome to see that this trend is spreading to webdesign as well, don’t you think? :)

Gmail Dot Trick

“Tečkový” Gmail trik

Leave a reply

Měl jsem za to, že tenhle fígl zná už každý, ale očividně tomu tak není, tak bych se o něj s vámi rád podělil. O co tedy jde?

Když jste si registrovali svůj účet na Gmailu, možná jste taky narazili na zádrhel s volnými adresami k registraci. Má to svůj důvod:

Gmail totiž “ignoruje” tečky v uživatelských jménech. Co to znamená?

Řekněme, že máte zaregistrovaný mail s adresu dottrick@gmail.com. A protože jsou tečky ignorované, máte s ní automaticky i adresu dot.trick@gmail.com, d.o.t.trick@gmail.com atd.. Zkrátka cokoli vám příjde na dottrick@.. (s libovolným počtem a rozmístěním teček) dostanete do schránky vy.

Jak z toho těžit?

Nesporné výhody jsou dvě:

  • Nestane se, ze by někdo cizí dostal email zamýšlený pro vás jen proto, že odesílatel popletl pár teček;
  • Teoreticky vlastníte víc než jednu adresu, což se hodí např. pro lepší kategorizaci příchozích emailů (s využitím filtrů jako “cokoli přijde na dot.t.r.ick@gmail.com automaticky přesuň do spamu etc.)

Trik je to rozhodně praktický, tak hurá na Gmail a vyzkoušejte si ho na vlastní maily..
Teď už jen založit pár složek, filtrů a přivítejte svůj organizovaný inbox bez bordelu :)

Copy

20+ GB of free online storage with Copy

Leave a reply

EDIT (30/5): Copy now further expands free accounts to 15 GB of space, so you’ll receive 20 GB of free space (but hurry, it’s a limited offer). Sign-up for free 20 GB here.

It’s been almost a year since my last post on the topic of online backup and/or sharing. Since then, new players entered the market and I’d like to show you one of them – Copy.

I’ll make this quick, since Copy works like any other similar service (Dropbox, Google Drive etc.). Let’s focus on the interesting stuff:

Copy key features

..that persuaded me :)

  • Widely multiplatform – desktop clients for Windows, MacOS and Linux (native!) + mobile for Android and iOS
  • More free space – Copy offers 5 GB free accounts, which is.. well, standard. But you’ll get another 5 GB if you were refered by another member and you’ll get another 5 GB for guys you refer. Oh yes, and additional 2 GB for a single tweet (so if I invite you, you tweet about Copy and invite another your friend, you’ll have free 17 GB account). And there’s never enough free online space, right?
  • Easy sharing – nice and intuitive UI, easy management of sharing permissions..

If a few dozens of free GB isn’t enough for you (or your company), there’s always paid plans starting at $99/year for 250 GB.

So if you fancy free 10 GB, go ahead and use my referal, register and you have it (after you download a client).

Thanks John Quealy for the tip!

HQ Monochromatic Icon Packs

Leave a reply

Spice up your designs with some tasteful monochromatic icons! Presenting my favourite three bitmap/vector icon packs:

.01 Iconic

Iconic

Iconic was/is one of my most favourite icon pack of all time. With it’s minimalism, “legibility” and actually useful icons (over 171), Iconic deserves a place in this list. Available in bitmap, vector and even font format. Lovely.

 .02 Font Awesome

Font Awesome

Font Awesome is really as awesome as it sounds. Self-presented as “The iconic font designed for use with Twitter Bootstrap”, it brings around 250 icons in font format and features like IE7 support and compatibility with screen readers for perfect accessibility.

.03 Professional Pack

Professional Icons

This huge icon pack contains 1,464 icons, comes in 5 formats (PNG, PDF, EPS, AI and CSH) and 3 icon sizes (well, and vector, of course..). Divided into thematic sub-packs like user interface, brands & social media, sports, communication, food, weather, medical, transport, furniture, human interface, commerce and others, they’d sure fulfill their purpose.
