Settings management.
I want a consistent key repeat and delay speed across my Windows and Linux environments. I’m talking exactly the same number.
Mouse speed and acceleration. Power profiles. User accounts?
Of course, stuff like this only important if we’re still talking about traditional desktop paradigms. What about when we all have tablets with WebKit browsers?
Looking forward to that day…
So I guess Chrome made it onto the iPad.
Good thing, too, cuz I just bought it again yesterday.
Glad to get a chance to get off the crap that is Feedburner.
Not sure why it’s broken right now, but I’d much rather go with a homegrown solution in the long run, anyway.
Regardless, I’ll let you know when I’m done tinkering here. Well, not done but when I’m moderately satisfied with how things are here.
Not sure why I didn’t think of this, but I’m sure I can write a zsh script that does this and run it every time I have pictures or take screenshots.
Looks like I have my weekend project set aside for me.
Floating up and away into the atmos, moving away from the traditional computing paradigm. Except for when I have to dev, and even then… VMs FTW.
I still can’t tell if it’s the Huruwitz/Vallely/Arnett/Cross-love, but certain words just keep jumping out at me and making me feel so warm on the inside.
The voiceover. The dysfunctionally rich. The main sane grounded character. The crazy puns. Oh, the crazy puns.
Regardless, I will keep watching.
It’s got a lot more heart than AD, that’s one big difference.
My desire to even think about rewatching the Trilogy died with this. What is wrong with you people?
So very excited. Now for it to come on Xbox 360. Oh, and probably not on the Apple TV.
Hulu, don’t let me down. I know Comcast-NBC is an evil ball of evil, but come on, stay semi-awesome.
Hulu needs to become a separate entity from the content dev (Primarily NBC Universal, Fox, ABC) and the pipes (Comcast) before I start loving it.
Maybe it was accidentally thinking that I deleted my entire music “collection. It’s probably more because of finding about how awesome Rdio is. Netflix only added to this desire of transitioning more and more into a cloud-centric lifestyle. (Heck, Hulu Plus might have pushed me into it, too, if the terms were just a little bit better.)
My Dropbox usage only grew with time. Recently, I’ve been using it heavily to share tabs for my band, adding and removing songs as we close in our Halloween (10.30.10) gig. (Yes, I know something else important happens that day, but you can take a flight here after it, right?) More or less, my entire reference library is on there, as with my important pdfs and docs.
// Which reminds me, I have to transfer all my Omni* files to a more open format. I wasn’t thinking in college when I started using OmniOutliner and OmniGraffle for things, and not exporting them to more durable formats like .txt or .pdf/.png.
Notational Velocity. Only after I used Simplenote on the iPad did I find this gem, and have never let go of it. For now, though, my MarsEdit drafts have been moved into NV, and will stay up in the Simplenote Cloud for the time being, while it’s also being backed up into the Dropbox Cloud just in case.
The “Mac Applications” category is going to start looking empty from now on, since my full-time job is heavily a Windows shop (with a healthy scoop of VMs running all over the place) I’m going to have to become even more one with the Clouds.
Dotfiles. So important. Github and Dropbox is where they will reside, until I can pull them down using Homesick. I haven’t gotten around to implementing this, but it will have to happen soon enough.
And I’m going to love it that way.
In some way or another, my stuff is backed up at least twice. And that makes me all the warm inside.
// Please read the title as a reference to Archer. I’m looking forward to the return of this awesome FX show.
A social hacker, that is.
That’s all I got for this week’s HIMYM. It wasn’t very good.
I’ll try anything that has WebKit on it. Heck, it’s even got Flash, AIR, and Reader built in. And cameras, 3MP front facing, and 5MP rear facing. And does 1080p video recording. Java? Don’t care.
I like the 7″ size. Not 100% sure if I’ll like it more than the 9″ size of the iPad, but we’ll see.
Totally willing to buy this after a demo.
