iPotty — The Next Big Thing

01 September 2004

So I was taking care of business this morning, realized somebody had shuffled off with my usual reading material, and subsequently had an idea for Apple's Next Big Hit—the iPotty. I think the sketch speaks for itself, but we're talking about a wall-arm-mounted, pen-operated, Airport-connected, tablet iMac. Somebody forward this to Steve please.

Amazing.

28 August 2004

Ok, I must still be heavily under the influence of my pre-OSX days, but the following just amazed me: Today I was synchronizing my G5 to my Powerbook, and realized that Sync Pro X was reporting 3.00 GB of data needing to be transferred. I looked at the throughput meter in the Powerbook's menu bar and saw 1.3 MB/s. Ugh—I forgot I was unplugged and the Powerbook was connected via WiFi. I wondered if I could just simply plug in the Ethernet cable during the middle of the data transfer operation, and just gave it a try. The throughput jumped immediately to 8.7MB/s. That's amazing—the system just transparently switched from one network interface to another (the faster one), right in the middle of a transfer.

OmniWeb Bookmark Syncing — Who would have known?

27 August 2004

After fighting with OmniWeb 5 in an effort to get bookmark syncing to work with a WebDAV server, I finally (through the help of Omni support) got everything sorted. Turns out, OmniWeb can not sync bookmarks to the root of a webdav server — you must sync to a sub-directory. Why? No idea. But since I created a dedicated DAV area on my G5 for the purpose of syncing, I had no reason to create a sub-directory. As a result, I was seeing all sorts of weird behaviour — the server specification wasn't preserved in the Preferences, unread content was sometimes appearing in duplicate. Anyway, glad it's all sorted now. In a few days, I'll be posting instructions on how to setup WebDAV on MacOS X.

Had this guy not stubbed his toe at the end of July, the USA would have surely swept all the golds in springboard in Athens.

Canon LiDE 30 Scanner

19 August 2004

I sure wish I'd read this or that before purchasing the Canon LiDE 30 Scanner for my MacOS X system. But the 15 year-old at the store said, "Yeah, dude, it's a good scanner." Oh well, learned my lesson (again) about buying things on whim, without doing a bit of research...
