Re: Modanville Weather | Personal Weather Station: INSWMODA3 by Wunderground.com | Weather Underground

This station is at my location where station ID is: IMODANVI2 - this station ID (INSWMODA3) has been incorrectly matched to this location and doesn't match IMODANVI2. Awaiting support advice from Weather Underground.

Re: It’s time to get over the whole 3G tablet fad

Dave Gray — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 07:20:34 -0000

Could not agree more. I did not buy a 3G iPad for these and other reasons. I might add that I am pleased I made this decision. Now with tethering built into the iOS who needs it? Even when I am desperate for a connection I can get it through my phone! A good example of the tech moving so fast that people are doing double takes all the time. Bring it on!

I'll also just throw in here that I love my iPad but I also love my iPhone and my Laptop and my desktop and my Mac... yup they are all great and for lots of different reasons and I use them all for a lot of different purposes. With reference to Leigh's comment below; good that you found something that is for you! So many times I hear of friends an acquaintances that buy an iPad and want it to be the holy grail and are disapointed or whatever - point is it isn't and won't be. You have to buy technology knowing what the advantages, strengths and drawbacks are and everything has both.

Re: I read it on iReddit - the official reddit iPhone app arrives

Gotta be honest I am not noticing a difference in page load times. At any rate I would have thought that they are using the safari shell to do so in which case it should be the same load times. Maybe it is the distraction of the reddit dude??

Cheers - found it! I must be blind or something. Still gotta say that it is not that intuitive a place to be looking for it. Also be nice to have a list of "saves" through the app itself as well as the web page. Just a suggestion.

Using the app and it is pretty cool. One major thing - great that you can save a link on reddit - but where are they?? I can't find them anywhere - either in the app or on the site...

Thanks for testing out the Disqus comments :)

So does that make it good or bad?

Re: OMG! Look Out Everyone – It’s A Twitter Clone - OMG!

The open source will be the decider IMHO - what people do with it that is. I can see a lot of servers running something like it - or maybe some services that pop out of the code - I dunno but being open source anything is possible. But I think it is what sets it a part in many respects and why it might get there in some shape or form. As far as a micro blogging service, same same. I am playing the wait and see thing now.

I am using FriendFeed a hell of a lot more. I hate Plurk - the interface is awful. twitter are yet to get their shit together... all bets are off for the moment I think.

I think that you have just reminded me what it is - I disabled 3rd party cookies on websites - I just found a distinct disadvantage - I am using Firefox 3 - they added that feature back in! I am an idiot... I'll let you know if it works.

Re: How to make FriendFeed useful: Drop the Twitterati

Dave Gray — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 03:53:44 -0000

In some ways I agree. Dropping twitter from the stream will cut down significantly on the noise and as you say make it more useful. Mainly because you are left with more in depth material, as opposed to the - "eating dinner" twitter posts. But I would disagree with the idea of getting rid of people that are making conversations. But then I guess that depends on your idea as to what you want those conversations to be. I personally have not thought that these conversations were dominated by people talking predominantly about FF or twitter.

Please someone tell me why Disqus thinks I am unverified - I did register and claimed this profile above - now I think it thinks I am not the same person... weird.

Sorry Loic - unrelated :P

I gather by the tags that her problem was the usual.

Re: You to can have a $600 slide show maker

Dave Gray — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 02:08:03 -0000

That is the irony imho - you don't need a Mac to do this! Any PC can do it with the right telly and the right cable. So where is the buzz in that?

I agree Dave is usually on the ball but, this is just another app for a Mac and not a great one. That is how much buzz it deserves, not the total flip everyone has done on it.

Not only am I the second "Gray" to post a comment and that comment is straight after that one (that is just freekin weird :P ) I am also here to say that I totally agree Steve.

Not only that I have to laugh at the fact that Scoble has found another useless medium to broadcast crap from in Qik! Geeze.

To me this is not that new in so much as you can ook up any decent LCD tv to a computer via the DVI slot... now you can treat it like a monitor - even show a slideshow! So I just don't get it at this point and time - or is it because Dave Winer came up with it that we are supposed to prick our ears and listen... please the days of the A-lister are done. NEXT!
