I’ve got my iPhone about 100 days ago and used it daily. There’s a lot of good things to say about it and also a bunch of stuff that I don’t like. Here’s everything worth mentioning, starting with the nasty stuff so I can end up on a positive note, because I am just that [...]

I gave Flock another try, and I still find it quite cool, but not ready for prime time.
Its blog editor ate my blog post about the blog editor, which sucks, recursively.
The other features are all a great idea but just don’t work as well as expected. Maybe in another year or two I’ll try [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve first tried the Flock blog client, so I’m giving it a whirl again.
Can’t find the categories anywhere.
Scratch that (can’t find the html tags or strikeout commands) the categories are displayed when I hit the Publish button. Interesting. Can’t select a Primary category. Categories are not remembered when editing [...]

The other day I was talking to someone on my mobile phone, when I received another incoming call. So I just put on hold the first call to take on the second. Nothing fancy so far…
What is this shiny new Merge button that just popped up on the screen? Meeerge! Too tempting, I just had [...]

Wow, I didn’t realized that…

Because Gmail doesn’t recognize dots as characters within usernames, adding or removing dots from a Gmail address won’t change the actual destination address.

Nice, I guess.

I’ve settled for Cutline 1.x by Chris Pearson. It’s not as zen as my old design, but it’s nice and clean and more efficient.

Here are a few suggestions for improvement for the 1.x version (don’t like much 2.x):

Remove the italics from BLOCKQUOTE. The indentation, left border and gray text are enough of a highlight. The [...]

The only thing I want from Leopard, is to fix Apple Mail. I use the thing 10 hours a day or so, and its quirks are getting tired. Here are a few of them that I hope Leopard will get right:

Crashes 2-3 times every day. It’s gotten worse since I’ve set up an IMAP account. [...]

For the past few weeks, I tried to upload all my profile data to my Dreamhost ssh account. You know, actually using some of those hundreds of gigs they advertise. I’ve been patiently rsync-ing a few hundred megs daily, and got trough a few gigs. Speed-wise, it’s no steekUP, where you get speeds close to [...]
