Laika ziņas

Cik bieži ir tā ka pēkšņi vajag kaut kur braukt, bet laika ziņas nav dzirdētas. Šādos gadījumos parasti tiek ieslēgts rādio lai noklausīties laika ziņas vai ieslēgts dators un apskatīts ko mums sola "Delfi", vai "Apollo" portāli, taču parasti šīs ziņas ir samērā plašas. Ja dodamies uz kādu mazāku Latvijas pilsētu, nevis uz Rīgu, Liepāju Ventspili vai piemēram Saulkrastiem, tad ar šīm prognozēm ir par maz.
Esmu ievērojis, ka ornitologi, makšķernieki un citi dabas vērotāji izmanto interesantu vietni, laika apstākļu apskatei.

www.windguru.cz/ ļoti ērta mājaslapa, laika apstākļu noteikšanai. Te var ievadīt gan valsti, reģionu un pilsētu. Kā redzat attēlā šeit iespējams apskatīt ne tikai temperetūru un nokrišņus, bet arī vēja ātrumu un virzienu pie tam diezgan detalizeti pa stundām un pusstundām.
Vēl var apskatīt mākoņu daudzumu, nokrišņu daudzumu (mm/3h)
Prldētājiem šī majaslapa var būt noderīga ar to, ka var apskatīt arī jūras virspuses temperatūru.

Centīšos pielikt vēl noderīgas saites laika apstākļu apskatei internetā!

Lai labi laika apstākļi un izdevies ceļojums!

How to read/write NTFS partitions on Mac OS X

Paragon NTFS

As a paid option, it pretty much works out of the box. Just install it and everything is there, like read and write, automount, format, and disk checking. It also supports latest OS X Lion. It's just $19.99 with 5 days trial so you can test it before taking out your wallet.

Built-in Option
WARNING: Native NTFS write support is disabled for a reason. There are users who reported it may courrpt your drive. Use at your own risk.

Snow Leopard and newer version has a hidden feature to mount NTFS volumes as read/write, but it's not enabled by default.

Here's how to get read/write support for NTFS drives in Snow Leopard or Lion:

Uninstall other NTFS software, like Paragon, Tuxera or NTFS-3G.
Run Terminal in Spotlight.
Type "diskutil info /Volumes/volname", where volname is the name of the NTFS volume. From the output, copy the Volume UUID value to the clipboard.
Type "sudo nano /etc/fstab."
Type "UUID=111-111-111 none ntfs rw", where 111-111-111 is the UUID you copied.
Save and quit nano by typing Control-X, Y, and then Enter.
Restart your system.

The software fully supports all versions of Mac OS X from 10.4 (Tiger) onwards, including of course Mac OS X (Mountain Lion) with its 64-bit kernel, and comes with advanced features only available from Tuxera such as support for NTFS extended attributes.
