Category Archives: softwareI have been using Twitter a bit more than I was before thanks to this nifty little J2ME app for Nokia phones called Twibble. It runs in the background and pulls the latest tweets from my friends over whatever connection I happen to have. I can page through them at my leisure, respond to them–it […]
Pat Phelan over at Cubic Telecom wrote a post about how much Twitter is costing businesses. As someone rightly pointed out in the comments, what’s the cost of any given thing to business anyway?
I think the bigger, more important question is why are we wasting our time–whatever it costs–using a service that clearly doesn’t have […]
I had went into my Wordpress Admin today to write posts as usual, but it was slower than molasses in winter. After some troubleshooting–was thankful 1&1 had strace installed on the box and my web pages are served by a process I could attach it to–I tracked it down to something (C)Feed was doing–a plugin […]
It almost seems anti-climatic for Netscape to finally say “we’re no longer supporting the Netscape web browser,” given that they’ve had their clocked cleaned by Microsoft and spun off the development effort to the Mozilla Foundation. However, for many years after they did this, AOL curiously kept pumping out a Netscape-branded web browser.
Why? The answer […]
A while ago, I had decided I had enough of Twitter. I had pretty much stopped using it, but did not go so far as to delete my account. I kept it around “just in case” and jumped full-bore into Jaiku.
But then, something happened. Twitter evolved, and I have too. I also noticed that several […]
Well, so much for this list being shorter. That happens when you see topical gadgets and good cross-promotion opportunities.
Aside from The Mobile Technology Weblog being new to my weekly roundup, there’s also one new blog on the list this week I hadn’t talked about previously: Businesspundit. Creative Weblogging asked me to do a few posts […]
I have never, ever been fond of a single program that comes from Smith Micro. I remember their software came with the various modems I purchased and it was horrible. Oh yeah, and you had to pay more to unlock even more crappy features.
Through a series of acquisitions, they have acquired a program that used […]
This will, hopefully, be the last time in a while that this list is so long. With the changes in my responsibilities with Creative Weblogging, I should be blogging a little less and promoting a little more. Maybe I can find the energy to do a post on my S60 Blog, which I haven’t blogged […]
If you do anything more than passively read web pages online, chances are, you’ve got an identity somewhere. You have an email address (or 10). You have a login on most every site you interact with (e.g. Google, eBay, Facebook). If you use IM tools, surely you’ve got a name on each of those services.
Even […]
Last year, I purchased an MP3 locker from MP3Tunes, thinking it might be nice to have my music in the cloud. It’s a nice idea, but it’s not something that ends up being practical for me. It’s not easy for me to get my stuff from MP3Tunes to the device where I really want it–on […]
One of the things I have oh-so appreciated as of late is the Nokia Multimedia Transfer application. It has made syncing music and media from my Mac to my Nokia Nseries and Eseries devices a good experience. It’s not nearly as fast as my iPod Shuffle, but at least it makes it just about as […]
Man, oh man, I wrote a lot of stuff this week. Let’s get straight on with it:
Charge Your iPod With An Onion And Gatorage (From The Gadgets Weblog)
Use Your Nokia N95 As A Lightsaber (From The Gadgets Weblog)
Defensio Launches Comment Spam Filtering Service (From I Got Spam?!)
Skype 2.0 For Linux Adds Video (From The VoIP […]
A while ago, I was lamenting the fact that all the Facebook apps sucked. For the most part, that’s true. However, I think I found something that might actually last more than a minute or two: Scrabulous.
It’s Scrabble, but on Facebook. The nice thing is: you can invite any of your friends to play. You […]
A new version of VMware for the Mac has been released. Version 1.1 brings some cool new features to the table:
Support for Mac OS X 10.5 (a.k.a. Leopard)
DirectX 9.0 support (sans shaders)
Improvements to “Unity” that makes Windows even more seamless, such as support for Vista in both 32 and 64-bit modes, XP 64-bit, better integration […]
I want to be clear: I’m talking about regular DVDs, not Blueray or HD. I’m also not talking about making copies for my friends, or other people on the Internet. I’m talking about making a copy for backup purposes.
One simple reason I want to do this: the kids aren’t exactly “gentle” with the DVDs. For […]
