http://777h.org/blog wastes of money and time Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:32:24 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So a couple weeks ago my N95's battery cover broke and I once again swapped to using my iPhone as my main phone again. Yes, the iPhone is my "backup" phone, what of it? Anyways about that same time the big iPhone 2.0 firmware came out and the AppStore opened ... http://777h.org/blog/archives/43 So here I have the iPhone app from WordPress and I'm wondering, will this actually encourage me to write more often? Will the "easiness" of posting mean I'll be less lazy? Or does it mean I'll be more likely to throw a post together when I'm just sitting around waiting ... http://777h.org/blog/archives/42 So I finally broke down and got an Xbox 360... As someone who's worked in games for as long as I have, this is terribly late in the game to get one, but c'est la vie. I finally picked it up for Rock Band, mostly so friends and I could ... http://777h.org/blog/archives/39 So in preparing for the flight to my parents' house for Christmas, I had the first actual impact from upgrading to Leopard. I know, I know, how can an operating system upgrade actually impact my life? Time. No not Time Machine...not automated backups, but actual time...that thing ... http://777h.org/blog/archives/38 Ok so the title may be a BIT harsh...but as of yesterday's firmware update to v20, it's changed how I've used the device - and that is most definitely a plus. Honestly of all of the updates in the new firmware, there are three I actually care about: Demand Paging New Music Player/Podcasting ... http://777h.org/blog/archives/37 So I haven't been writing a lot of mobile development here, as I have generally tried to keep my personal opinions and work-related interests atleast slightly separated, I want to make a few comments on Android, after working with it as a developer for a few days. There will ... http://777h.org/blog/archives/36 So I've been sitting here, allowing this blog to stagnate for the past couple of months. The last real posts I've done and gotten any readers for were me complaining about iLife and iMovie...and since then I just haven't had a chance to do much. Fastforward to last Friday when I decide ... http://777h.org/blog/archives/35 So for some time...atleast January of '07, I've been feverishly anticipating the new iLife and iWork bundles. Surely they would contain great new features that would change my entire life and how I work, play, and think about EVERYTHING. I mean, it's going to be that great right? Well ... http://777h.org/blog/archives/34 Apple recently announced it's new iLife '08 Digital Lifestyle application suite. Most of the apps got some nice new features, but iMovie was selected to be completely replaced with an entirely different application (albeit still named iMovie). And in doing so, it was made easy for people who don't enjoy ... http://777h.org/blog/archives/31 Obviously now, being the Apple whore I am I had to get iLife '08 and enjoy the now 10gigs in my .Mac account. Even better is the personal domain support that's going to be easy in iWeb '08 (even thinking of moving this blog to iWeb...just because I could)...or ... http://777h.org/blog/archives/30
