Re: Just Try It Out

I feel the same way -- if I can't play with a service, I can't write about it. Reviews of closed betas always frustrate me. If you have a new service, open it up to feedback. Often like Twitter, you're not going to be completely sure what how your service is going to be used until people start using it. Twitter is still finding out.

Seems to me, Louis Gray has to be on such a list, I think he's a star and has a community, also MG Siegler either in his day job at TechCrunch or even just as his own ParisLemon personna. I can see leaving off Gruber because he doesn't allow comments on DaringFireball.

BTW, Slate magazine calls BS on bellies, as a fake trend. http://www.slate.com/id/222...

Re: How to connect Google Reader and Evernote

Thanks for that idea. If you're using a Mac and Safari, you can also send pages to Evernote as PDFs with a cntl+click, maintaining the same "look" they had online and still searchable.

Re: Does Anyone Use Chrome?

I posted a similar analysis of 3 blogs that I had access to for statistics and found that for my tech/productivity blog, Enquiring Mimes, Chrome had an almost 25% share.

The Register gets snarky about Opera Unite. So much sarcasm -- it hurts your teeth.

Any chance of getting in to hear your talk?

I should point out that one of the most inspiring parts of this talk is Mae Jemison, she's a trained engineer, an MD and an astronaut.

Okay, forget about the no 3rd party earphone support. To be accurate, you can't use your old 3rd party earbuds. There will be new earbuds available especially for the new shuffle, like this one: http://www.engadget.com/200...

Re: How do I really spend my day?

Using ManicTime is fascinating. I'll keep reporting on my results. I found that I went to lunch at 2pm and only worked a little after that. I'm a slacker.

Re: Enquiring Memes – tech memes and otherwise worth the mention

techgolem — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 18:10:17 -0000

Let's say in the same sense as techmeme.com. Maybe a slightly loose definition ;-)

Thanks, Leo. Touche on the dates, I fixed them. What year is this anyway? I thought it was 5769?

Re: Using IE7? Good time to switch your browser

Okay, they say it's fixed. Guess they got "right on it".

Still, consider Firefox, Safari, Opera or Chrome.

Nick, I get your point, but this works fine, esp. for the semi-abandoned email accounts.

Another great Firefox plug-in to assist searching is Ubiquity. I'll write about it on Monday

Re: Lazy Gmail Replies – Use Canned Responses

techgolem — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:08:34 -0000

Google just added a couple more capabilities to Gmail beyond Canned Responses -- they've added a rich set of emoticons -- you know -- those are infinite variations on Smiley faces. Goodness knows that's what the world needs.

Also, in a more useful vein, they've updated the mobile Gmail client on Blackberrys so that you can compose messages in Gmail even if you're in a no coverage area.
