WordPress 2 for iPhone?
Posted by Jeff | Filed under ...on the Road..., Techie Stuff
I don’t really know why they just didn’t update the wordpress app that was already there. Either layout appears functional so it’s a toss up to me ???

How Twitter’s site SHOULD function (Brizzly.com)
Posted by Jeff | Filed under Techie Stuff
If you’ve been reading over the various Twitter clients in Lifehacker.com’s Hive Five and thinking “I don’t want some fancy application, I just want the actual Twitter web site to be more functional!”, then you’ll definitely want to check out Brizzly. The first thing that strikes you after logging into your Brizzly account is how similar it is to the actual Twitter interface—except vastly improved. Shortened URLs are automatically expanded, links to pictures and videos are automatically thumb-nailed and easy to preview. The left and right navigation columns are fixed, so as you scroll through the tweets you never lose sight of useful links. Brizzly is a super-charged version of the Twitter web interface. One thing, if you’re ready to try Brizzly out. You’ll need an invitation to the service. Fortunately invitations aren’t hard to come by, Twitter is buzzing with them. Search Twitter with this link and check out invitations until you find one with an active use left. (borrowed from Lifehacker.com at http://bit.ly/lgs3T)
Firefox & Google Chrome = WIN!
Posted by Jeff | Filed under Techie Stuff
I’m not one to give a lot of praise or free press to any internet business just out of the blue, but with the advances of Firefox 3.5 and Google’s Chrome browser, my email service that I use which has a great web interface is now SUPER good! I am talking about Fastmail. The service has always been good and is ultra reliable (even if some out there ask why pay for email service when there are free options). In any event besides having great IMAP+IDLE (can you say PUSH?) Fastmail has a new web interface that they’ve just came out with recently and sports a whole new look as well. Being that the browsers listed above are getting better and faster and can take advantage of said interface, I figured that it was a good time to put it out that if you are looking for a provider that you can stick with, this might be the place to look. Ok, that’s about enough for me and free advertising. So Fastmail – if you’re reading this – you just got some free shouts for the work you’ve done in the last year. Kudos!

Using Windows Live Writer

I’m actually just posting this to see how it will come out looking. It was posted via Windows Live Writer, and not the web tool that comes with WordPress. I will try to add a picture or something in here and see how that works as well. Perhaps Hulu , since I just installed Hulu Desktop (very cool btw). — Cool, it let me resize it too! |
| Can I not turn off this border? UGH. | Ok, can’t seem to merge cells in a table, which would have been cooler, but free is good … |

Palm Pre not bad and AT&T fails with new iPhone 3.0
Posted by Jeff | Filed under /RANT ON!, Techie Stuff
I went and looked at the Palm Pre on Saturday. It’s not a bad phone but it’s a bit small for me and being on Spring is a 1-2 combo that left me waiting for WWMD today. Imagine my ‘surprise’ when it was tevealed that the King of Carrier Fail, AT&T, would not have features ready for the new iPhone OS… And they are the only option here in the US without unlocking. Nice.
So now maybe it’s even… And I’m still looking. Tmobile you’re looking better by the minute.

Why MacOSX is better than Windows
Posted by Jeff | Filed under /RANT ON!, Techie Stuff
Out of the blue my Windows PC just stops working like it always does … even with the new Windows 7. There just seems to be some things that for whatever reason just kill Windows to the point of ignoring the end-user (be it memory, hard drive access, I/O errors, WHATEVER) … The ONLY OS from Windows that I recall that didn’t have this woe was Windows 2000, and if I recall that was more or less based on NT which Microsoft got from somewhere else … ? Anywho … my Mac Mini running OSX … never dies. I’m sure there are things that I could do that would hose it, but I’ve not found them. I’m not a Mac lover, I’m just tired of Windows locking up and me looking at the screen with something that wasn’t saved immediately that I’m going to have to copy down because Windows just decided to freeze for no reason. UGH.
Whats the big appeal of Twitter?
Posted by Jeff | Filed under General Babble, Techie Stuff
I just snagged twitterfon for the iPhone a while ago and started adding people to it. Not too bad except you only get 100 updates an hour and I guess looking at a tweet counts as an update. Oh well. Will keep trying it to see if it’s actually worth spending time on. Way too busy with the TWIRP project but will see of it helps me stay in touch. On yeah, I’m posting this via my iPhone too. Too lazy to go get on the ‘puter I guess.
Cool new iPhone app

Found Flixster which blows the Showtimes and Now Playing apps for the iPhone out of the water. Now if I could find a free SSH app.
