Visa to India

Today I went to apply for visa to India, and boy - did travel gods were agains't us (I went with friend, with whom I will share this awesome journey). Visa office hours were from 9:00 to 14:00, and we were there from 9:02 to 13:56. Yeah, 5 hours. First of all - form was long, repetitive and often misleading. Had to re-fill it at least 10 times. Had to re-take photos 2 times. At one point indian visa website just went offline for 20 minutes.

At least office workers were nice and all-in-all it wasn't negative experience. Let's hope application will get through.

Mac - new decal

Mac - win/app tabbing

Yes! Another productivity killer brought to you by Apple.

Remember old Alt + Tab which switches between windows on non-mac OSes? Mac also has it: ⌘ + Tab. When I press this shortcut, I see row of icons - nothing new here - but if you switch to minimized app, nothing happens. And there is no indication other than visual "something" in dock (if you use dock autohide - too bad, Apple doesn't care about your special needs).

If you happen to know that app, you want to bring to front, is minimized, you can press ⌥ while holding ⌘ while hovering on chosen app and then let go of ⌘. You will probably have to slow down to remember the exact sequence of things you have to do to perform this magic, but slow is good - ⌘ + ⌥ + Tab with one hand? Torture.

Hiking Latvian coastline

Tl;dr: In 2008 I walked from Ainazi to Liepaja in 12 days. Journey was 500km long and was almost entirely along the beach.
