When will the iPhone get features other phones have had for years?

Posted on October 20, 2008 by bkjones

The iPhone’s success is somewhat in spite of itself. Sure, you can access all kinds of applications that do all kinds of things, and they’ve really gotten a few things right, like (IMHO) the phone interface, but some of the things it lacks are starting to become embarrassments. For example, for what, exactly, is the…

Is it time to switch VM apps on OS X?

Posted on July 29, 2008 by bkjones

Thought I’d throw this out to the lazyweb for advice. I’ve been running OS X as my primary desktop OS since I got my macbook pro around May 2006 or so. I installed Parallels as soon as I found it, and it was great. I still have it installed. However, I’ve found two issues with…

Useful stuff – 2008 – first half

Posted on July 11, 2008 by bkjones

Having a Google account is sometimes useful in ways you hadn’t planned for. For example, at a few different employers I’ve been at, I’ve had to prepare for reviews by providing a list of accomplishments to my supervisor. One decent tool for generating this list is email, though it can take some time. Another useful…

Do I Even Care About the iPhone 3G?

Posted on July 9, 2008April 11, 2009 by bkjones

Steve Jobs is one of the best presenters you could ever hope to see. He’s great at tapping into that part of your brain that makes you just want whatever it is he’s holding. But this time, it was a little different. You see, I already have an iPhone. I bought one in February. I…

Funny what you learn about yourself when you buy an iPhone

Posted on June 3, 2008 by bkjones

This is *not* a ripoff of xkcd (though I read that regularly, and so should you) – this is seriously the best graphic I can come up with, and it does the job. Yesterday I looked at doing all kinds of stuff to my iPhone. I wanted to see if I could get Python and…

Ubuntu 8.04 and Python Editors

Posted on April 28, 2008 by bkjones

So I updated one of my laptops to Ubuntu 8.04 pretty much as soon as it was available. I’ve been using my MacBook Pro laptop for everything for probably over a year now, because I grew tired of the hobby that *is* running Linux on a laptop and getting everything to work. I’ll note that…

Hadoop, EC2, S3, and me

Posted on March 20, 2008 by bkjones

I’m playing with a lot of rather large data sets. I’ve just been informed recently that these data sets are child’s play, because I’ve only been exposed to the outermost layer of the onion. The amount of data I *will* have access to (a nice way of saying “I’ll be required to wrangle and munge”)…

Got a new iPhone

Posted on February 27, 2008 by bkjones

Yeah, I dove into the iPhone after seeing Steve Jobs’s keynote where he talked about all of the new features. When I first saw the iPhone, I had no real interest in it, because I didn’t like the idea that the only apps I could use were those deemed worthy by Apple. I tend to…

Dear VirtueDesktops Guy

Posted on January 23, 2008 by bkjones

Note: if you’re a Leopard user wishing Apple’s Spaces was never invented, and you’d pay to have VirtueDesktops back, please leave a ‘me too’ post in the comments! UPDATE: See this link to make Spaces not *completely* useless: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2008021122525348 Please pick development back up for VirtueDesktops. Apple’s spaces not only falls short, it totally sucks….

My New iPod

Posted on September 24, 2007 by bkjones

My wife and I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day. I’m not sure why. I think it started because, for the first couple of years we dated, we were a few hundred miles apart, so we couldn’t. Now it’s just tradition. Anyway, to make up for it, we go all out on our anniversaries. We had…
