Google Launches iPhone App - Is Google Phone Far Away? | Mactropolis.com - The Global Mac Community

I would be a happy camper if/when this happens.

Talking on the phone - meh. Maybe 10% of what I would use it for. Killing time on the commute surfing Wikipedia 90%. Now, let’s talk bandwidth charges before I sign anything….

Blogged with Flock

So, after 11 intense weeks of class, I hang up the coding goggles for a bit, and check out my old haunts on the web. Lo and behold, there’s buzz about Flock again/still. I checked it out last year, but wasn’t quite sold. This time around, it makes sense

Visually and functionally, it reminds me of  Konqueror, which I like. What Konqueror does for files, Flock does for WEb 2.whatever content. FYI, Konqueror could be described as the Swiss Army knife of Linux apps. It’s not for for everybody, and it’s not what I’m raving about  at the moment, so I’ll shut up about it.

I’m thinking of Flock as a social web management application, rather than a generic browser. I’ve set up my fave feeds, enabled blogging, Facebooking, and Flickring.

So far, I like what I see.

I Want Sandy - I’ve often felt myself and others could benefit from a second brain that would help organize the content and function of the primary bundle of neurons. This just might be it.

Music For a Roadtrip - Literally. What is the Kanji for “thinking of things to do with pavement ?”

If I Had a Million Dollars - I agree, a real green dress would be cruel. However, the One Laptop per Child initiative is pretty cool. Actually, all I need is $399….

JJ Bean Coffee - I don’t need to explain this, do I?

With Quicktime release 7.2, my flash video support in Firefox became an on again - off again affair.
Vista is….well, everybody knows what’s what with that beast.

so often, new software seems like a marketing hook for a hardware upgrade, and that bugs me. My G4 lappie is just fine for what I need it for and until it starts belching smoke, I’m keeping it.

The long and short of it is that I figured it is time to hunt for an alternative OS.

I’m running a dual boot Osx 10.3.9/Ubuntu7.04 at the moment, but figured why stop there? From The Live Cd List, I link hopped into the outer realms of the open source solar system and found this ftp site: ftp.belnet.be

It is an absolute motherlode of open source distros.

If you can’t find an intriguing distro here, your name must be Bill….

So, lacking anything resembling a social life, I installed a dual boot OSX/Ubuntu on my laptop this past long weekend.

Turns out there are some things (Flash, wireless) that are not well supported on power pc, but for the most part, Ubuntu has proven to be fast,reliable, and visually familiar enough to windoze to not induce panic

Tons of open source software available, some more user friendly than others. I have to admit, the Mac has made me a bit lazy in this respect. I am becoming friendlier with the command line, and look forward to being comfortable, or maybe even proficient some day soon.
