Anna Ustenko - the editor of the popular urban Internet newspaper «The Village», its Kiev office. Today, this beautiful girl will tell us about his work, "iron" and software that help Anya and her colleagues to acquaint its readers with interesting events and people of Kiev.
What do you do on your job?
My name is Anna Ustenko, I - the editor of the Internet newspaper City «The Village Kiev". Since the online edition, the 99% of the time I spend on the net: check my email, RSS-mailing, getting posts on Skype, I correct them online editor, The Village, posting on Skype chief editor, proof-reader and then, who is in Moscow, sheryu posts in Facebook and Twitter. We work mostly with freelance writers, so from time to time I find myself thinking that many people with whom I have already had time to emerge friendly relations, I had never seen. Only on Skype and I am familiar with most of the members of our Moscow office. In short, when we in the wording of a sudden a few minutes cut off the Internet, working life stops.
How does your workplace?
My workplace - this is a laptop that often stands on the desktop, but in the late afternoon, when the forces begin to leave me, moved to his knees. I love to work, his feet up on the shelf of the cabinet or on a windowsill.
Besides the notebook on the table are usually some sheets, pens, brochures. They accumulate gradually, and at some point they become too much, then I throw most of. On my desk is always a big cup thermos with cool water. Still there is a paper tape, from it make great stickers-reminders.
Next to the table is a metal plate with the address where is our editorial staff. On the eve of Euro 2012, when the center updated all the navigation, we hung a new home - made the project Igor SklyarevskiPs.
What hardware are using?
I use a well-worn MacBook. He let me just once: it turned out that is not a problem to work 14 hours a day, and a computer can be hard for a person. The notebook stands SSD hard drive, thanks to my Mac barely hums and does not so much heated.
iPad 2 for business purposes use as a camera, if you need to make a copy of the text, or as a notebook. In after hours it is a book, and convenient way to surf the Internet.
iPhone 3G terribly slow, so plays only phone and voice recorder.
What software use?
Not so long ago I had a new favorite online-tool - Basecamp. It helps structure the tasks and projects. Veda there calendar grid - write informpovody, here places the text output plans. Note ideas, themes, materials, which are discussed at staff meetings. After the prescribed material in the projects and theme authors point out, that it does, the author comes to the post office notification. It is also noted on when we planned the next party.
Constantly using the editor posts The Village - it allows you to not only recruit tests, but to impose their own, it accelerates the process of creating a blog.
My old faithful assistant - RSS - to view all news subscriptions in a single window.
On a tablet often I use extremely efficient and easy photo editor Snapseed. It enables a finger to turn a mediocre image in excellent. However, I open it mainly in the non-business purposes - illustration for post processing designer.
Useful app SoundNote - Allows you to simultaneously record audio and typing. Typed words are indices for the record, that is, click on the word and the audio recording is played back with the correct torque. This app is a dream. Although sometimes it lacks sensitivity microphone.
Is there a place in your paper work?
After appearing in my work weekly Basecamp I do not use. But from the sheets, notebooks can not refuse - to record telephone reminders. Notes about the most important events on the palms of doing right.
Is there a dream configuration?
my dream notebook must be thin and light, should not be heated for a long time to hold a charge. Large memory capacity and a powerful video card I have little interest. That is, I would fully accept the plate, but the screen is at least twice as much available and with the more advanced features. MacBook Air not fully meet these requirements.
