How to: do a professional monitor calibration using DSLR
The interesting fact is that simple monitor calibrator costs around $400, same as IPS (sRGB) monitors nowadays. Not good :) That's why for those who are photographer, it could be interesting how to calibrate monitor using only your DSLR.

MC is shit: need FAR port for linux!!!
One more thing (to I think thousands of other "uncomfortabilities" of MC): midnight commander does cache contents of archives without ANY possibility to refresh them! This means you could rebuild project into jar and WILL see old contents!
Wtf cool FAR manager isn't yet ported to linux?!

Pointer events bounce on clicks
Yesterday made simple experiment: recorded in log coordinates (x,y) of pointer press, drags and release events at real devices. During experiment I only clicked (not scroll!) at screen using finger. Devices are: Nokia 5230 and Samsung S5230.
Results impressed me a lot: bounce is up to 23 pixels (for y up to 15, possibly because of finger shape)!
This mean that if you need to differentiate scroll from click, you have to implement some kind of filter that takes into account time and type of movements of pointer.
