Blogroll: Dynamic Fun with SimplePie and jQuery
Nice! Like that site too, not hiding demo pages way down somewhere where you can barely find them is a nice touch. Posted by Philip Harrison04:05 AM | 0 Comments
There are too many web services!
And too few that don't suck. Posted by Philip Harrison03:47 AM | 0 Comments
Two services I'd like to try
Dropbox - file, backup sync magic. It's looking good! Man I wan't this. JungleDisk will get the booot!
Spotify - seems a bit like on-demand last.fm. But what was their PR guy thinking... seriously the service was hyped in 2007 and it's past the second half of 08 now and it's still in a "private beta". Soon people will forget that the thing even existed.

How the f*ck is this "award winning design"?Brought a tear to my eye. Sad.
*iF Design Award 2008
It looks a bit like taking an old IBM computer and sawing it in bits, gluing it back together and employing a shaky dremel cutting guy to make some holes here and there.

Sign this NDA please!
The above link is to a 3 year old post by Derek Sivers (found through 43 Folders). It's beautifully put. The worth of an idea that is. I think I'll write a post about all the good ideas I have had that have no execution love. It's not that they are worth much collecting dust in some notepad.Posted by Philip Harrison

Nifty software that's actually useful.
Mind you, most are Mac or iPhone apps.
Todos etc - OmniFocus & iPhone OmniFocus - GTD app gone awesome! Location aware and shit. Rad!
Notes and such - Evernote & iPhone Evernote - I love apps that sync from multiple sources. This is no exception! Take a picture on your iPhone and it's automatically synced to your mac desktop software.
All those pesky passwords - 1Password & iPhone version - Well, it stores passwords which you can sync with to your iPhone and they can be used cross-browser.
Mail - Gmail - I actually think it has changed my life! (no joke)
Mail - me.com push everything - Push is lovely! I love all things syncing btw!
Blogging - Ecto - Blogging from your desktop. Like the rich text editing and draft saving ability.
Twitter- Twitteriffic - Twitter from your desktop. Gone clean and simple.
Launcher - Quicksilver - What would I do without this? Seriously.
For writing less - TextExpander - It expands your defined abbreviations to defined novels of text. It can save you some tedious typing! Especially like expanding html code snippets, and generic emails.
Music - iTunes - It might be bloated and all but it works!
Messaging - Adium - It's nice. Not that log on to often, it's nice when you do, with multiple accounts and all.
RSS - NewsFire - A pretty neat little desktop rss reader. Really can't bother with Google Reader.

A crap computer? With a crap OS? Try gOS
Haven't had the chance to try it but it looks neat! I'd like to try on a Asus eee.Edit: Tried in parallels and it worked fine, Youtube and all. I just hope they re-design the current theme. Or include the ubuntu one which is way nicer.

So great that these schemes actually work! I think I'll make a million dollar app soon. "A new mantra. A new gem. For a million dollars it can be yours! Don't miss your chance as this shit will be banned!"
