Office software…

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

I wonder how many people would recognize this as an office software setup…

“Right now in Chromium I have the following tabs opened: I listen to music in Grooveshark (yes I work with music right now Kevin Rudolf “Let it Rock”), I blog in Tumblr, I have Seesmic desktop to see what’s happening in Twitter and Facebook simultaneously, I use Postbox for my email (I love Postbox), Netvibes to find out what is happening in the world (outside of Twitter and Facebook), Gmail is open as well for Gmail back up, calendar. My searches don’t happen at Google.com anymore, they go straight from my browser bar to Google (Firefox must add this feature immediately!). Skype is also running.”

Fancy computers and Microsoft don’t matter anymore (at least at work).

Phone updates…

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

I’m massively frustrated that the iPad doesn’t have iOS 4 on it. However, when I read the information below I count myself lucky.

“The news is worse for owners of the Motorola Milestone, the Droids overseas twin. According to Motorolas official upgrade timeline, the Milestone will get Froyo in late Q4, but only for Europe and Korea. The Android 2.2 upgrade for Milestone is “under evaluation” for Canada, Latin America, and Mexico.

As expected, other Motorola phones that launched with pre-2.1 versions of Android wont get Froyo at all, at least for the foreseeable future. Motorolas Cliq, Cliq XT, and Backflip are waiting for Android 2.1, for which the Motorola Devour was deemed unfit.”

iPad Apps #4 – TuneIn Radio

Friday, August 20th, 2010

I love the radio, it’s an integral part of who I am. I listen to hours of radio every day.

Having CD quality radio on my iPhone is fantastic. The best app that I’ve found is TuneIn Radio. The interface is clean, quick and easy to use.

Highly recommended.

Unsuck It…

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Very good gargon translation from Unsuck It

However, I thought that…

Bandwidth

Unsucked:

Time or people.

…was capacity.
Am I right?

Conway’s Game of Life in HTML 5

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

As a Computer Science student I spent many an hour playing with the game of life.

However, the one thing that I wanted to do was change the rules so that there were less stable states (ie – there would be more movement) and yet this games would last a long time. Never did find the right solution to that one.

Le Web buzz starts…

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

It’s becoming somewhat of ritual. Each autumn the weather get colder and the updates about Le Web start. I have my ticket already and it makes for something to look forward to!!!

Entourage becomes Outlook on the Mac…

Friday, August 14th, 2009

This is an interesting comment…

“they’re pre-announcing this so far in advance to discourage current Entourage users from switching to the new Exchange-compatible versions of Apple Mail and iCal in Snow Leopard.”

Daring Fireball

If this is the plan then they’re on the route to failure. Moving desktop mail client has a minimal cost. You just plug in the new client and start syncronizing the mail server. It’s a two minute job.

What seems to be happening here is that Outlook is becoming a server only tool. The poor desktop client (is there anything slower?) is killing the fanchise.
