I use Adium on my Mac to chat with all my coworkers, family and friends. I like Adium because it connects to a whole slew of chat networks like Yahoo, Google, AIM, etc. So from one program I can converse with anyone on any network. What would be cool is if Adium made an iPhone app that had the same functionality, and of course utilizing push notifications, that went one more step by utilizing Bluetooth. My idea is Adium would be aware when I am at my computer by detecting the proximity of my iPhone through Bluetooth. When I walk away with my phone, or shut down my Mac, Adium would have the “Smarts” to figure out that my messages should be directed to my phone. Upon return to my computer it would stop sending messages to my phone and route them to my desktop app. I don’t know that Bluetooth is the best way to do this but I think it’s kind of neat. That way if I walk away for a few minutes, but don’t log out, my messages would follow me. Cool? Let me know what you think.
Well, I had planned to write this long article all about the concert. I can sum it up pretty short and sweet. Jason Mraz totally kicked ass. Dave Mathews totally kicked ass. The sax player for DMB totally kicked ass. The most ass kicking happened when DMB covered “Burning Down the House” by talking heads. It was a jet powered freight train running through my head at full throttle. Basically it kicked my ass. So in conclusion, it kicked ass. ‘Nuf said. My ass was kicked thusly.
From the latest “I’m a Mac & I’m a PC” TV Ad. The “Fine” print. Hilarious!
Please note that when you first receive your PC there is some suggested work that needs to be done before PCs can perform at their peak. These steps include, but are not limited to, downloading and installing necessary drivers for peripherals. These drivers may include printers, scanners, cameras, storage devices, music players, and other media devices. There may be more depending on your needs. It is also recommended that first time users remove all unneeded bloatware and remove all operational components. To remove unneeded bloatware first open uninstaller, select applications to remove, and uninstall. To remove optional components, click start, go to all programs and open control panel, select remove components, select components you want to remove, select next, when done, select finish. Once initial prep is complete, PCs may then be easy to use under certain controlled conditions and when properly maintained. In order for PCs to achieve optimal performance on a regular basis and for long periods of time, routine maintenance should include (but is not limited to) the following: Read more…
My trip to Atlanta will end in a few hours and it has been a lot of fun. When I arrived on Friday my niece and nephew warmed up to me in about 10 minutes. Before I knew it I was playing with Mater and Lightning McQueen with Evan on he floor. Next we were outside flying kites. There is no problem telling what belongs to each of the kids as all of thier toys are branded with either “Cars” or “Barbie” Not long after arriving my Cousin Mark and his wife Kylie showed up from their blow out shopping spree. Then the Bourbon came out. Read more…
I still don’t eat kittens and I DO like the band “Say Anything” My wife LOVES them and tells me they are brilliant which means they are for sure. They may even be the best.
I guess geek cred is in order. I just packed for my trip tomorrow and realized that proportionally I am bringing, by sheer mass, more electronics and tools than clothes and bathroom amenities. I’m only staying one night but it seems I need laptops, inverters, iPods, iPhones, various chargers cables and adapters, headphones (two different styles of course) a GPS, magnet tipped interchangeable screw driver, a full set of micro screwdrivers, including torx (never know when you might have to field strip a MacBook Pro) measuring tape, etc. Once you get locked into a serious gizmo collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
