Monthly Archives: April 2009

So, I just updated the facebook app on my iPhone, and was pleased to find that they added Push notifications!

So far, I notice that when someone send a direct message to me I get an alert telling me there is a message waiting for me in my Facebook inbox.

I wish though that the alert told me a bit more. Maybe the subject.

Also, I wish I could go directly to the message from the alert instead of the only option being to close the window.

It’s nice either way.

So I had just sat down at my computer and for the first time ever I was asked to restart my mac due to a crash!

It was bound to happen someday, I’m suprised it took 3 years to see my first OS crash on a mac though.

A nice little article showed up on CNET News.

Photos: The 8 most underrated videogame characters ever

Made me remember the good old days of 8 bit and before. Though, the images here are not very 8 bit they do a good job of covering a bit of everything, from a game on Atari to a few newer games. Best one, Hammer Bro.

When I switched from PC to Mac, the single hardest thing I had adjusting to was the new keyboard shortcuts. At the top of the list was the Home/End keys, they never worked quite right.

I quickly adjusted to using Command-Left or Command-Right, and it even became natural, and since I was on a 15 inch Powerbook, it seemed even better anyway since I didn’t have a dedicated cluster of keys with the Home/End.

If your on a full sized keyboard and just don’t like how the keys are setup, there’s an easy solution. DoubleCommand.

This freeware will add a Preference Pane to the System Preferences and will allow you to easily set some keyboard bindings.

Though I don’t think you can create your own keyboard bindings, it does offer the ability to quickly ‘fix’ the Home/End keys.

This one will be short, I’m writing it from the wordpress iPhone app. It’s nice, but I don’t know it could be used long term for quality blogs.

There’s no way to post audio/video. Picture support is nice though, it even optionaly resizes the image to be smaller and upload faster.

All-in-all though, the app offers a nice intuitive interface and makes light blog management on the road easy.
