Constant Thought

I keep coming back to this thought: Adobe is upset that their highly proprietary software — Flash — is locked out of Apple’s highly proprietary platform — iPhone OS. My very mature one word response is, “So?” Proprietary, closed-source software means the developer/company can do with it what they want. They can choose who they want to allow into their sandbox,...

A Date With Droid

At work the corporate cell phones are through Verizon. Over the last week+ our office has had a demo unit of the Motorola Droid, and I’ve gotten the chance to have it for a day. This is my initial like/dislike list from my experience. Disclosure — I am a very satisfied iPod touch user, so this review comes from an iPhone/iPod touch background. Like I was immediately pleased that the...

Windows Server Version Confusion

When Microsoft released Windows Server 2003 R2 it was patched up version of Windows Server 2003; basically the same version, but with post initial release updates applied. You installed the same SP2 regardless of whether you installed 2003 or 2003 R2. Recently Microsoft released Windows Server 2008 R2. All of our Windows servers at work are running Server 2003, with a mix of 2003 and 2003 R2. The...

Keeping #googlewave Trending

Just doing what another +100k people are doing; getting the first impressions of Google Wave out of the way. And most importantly, I’m doing my part to keep #googlewave a trending topic on Twitter. First, for all that could be going on on-screen, they’ve managed to make it pretty clean and intuitive. The part that I really dig is the softness of it. Things are rounded; there’s a...

jqtouch: As some of the devoted followers may have seen yesterday, I’ve gone ahead and refactored the jQTouch animations — I’ve reduced the overall code, made it extensible, and added in 5 new animations.

gdata Python Client Mappings

I was having trouble with the Python client for the Google API this morning, and this link was given to me. Kinda frustrating when what you expect to be there isn’t there. crad: I had a little bit of an issue today finding out that Google’s gdata Python library changes attribute names for the UserEntity class to match with the PEP8 naming conventions. Here’s a quick rundown: userName...

GrooGrux

So I bought the new DMB album this morning, and I’m going into a little bit of a DMB caccoon right now. I really enjoy the album so far. Here’s an initial thought I’ve had. Since I also have the other DMB albums in my iTunes library it immediately went from “Big Whiskey and …” into “Busted Stuff”. I really like many of the songs on BS, just not how...

iPod touch Feature Request

I have a developer account with Apple, but have refrained from installing iPhone OS 3.0 on my iPod touch. There is one feature that I would like to see, either built in by Apple, or as an application. Because the touch does not have a camera, and OS 3.0 will open up the Bluetooth to more than just the Nike+, I want to be able to pair my phone to my touch, transmit photos to the touch. That way I...

A Thought at Bedtime

As I went to put my youngest down … again … I told him, “Hush! You must hush!” Which made me think of “You must chill! I have hidden your keys!” That made it mildly better … mildly.
