I’ve been using FileZilla lately after FTP Voyager started to give me problems. FileZilla is okay, but it does not support WebDAV. I need WebDAV so I could access my Mac iDisk from my Windows PC but unfortunately not many FTP clients support the WebDAV protocol. I finally found BitKinex which supports WebDAV quite nicely….
I’ve been messing around with Tumblr tonight. I can’t believe how interesting it is. It’s like Twitter for Blogs. You follow other blogs in the same way you follow people on Twitter. You can also post to your blog in a variety of ways. You can go to the Tumblr web site of course. You…
Moving your blog to WordPress? WordPress allows you to import your Blogger Blog, but not if you’re hosting the blog on your own server. I searched all over the web for the answer and simply couldn’t find it. I found a lot of people asking how to do this, but no definitive answer. Well, here’s…
Does Apple know there is a recession going on? Apparently they’re not concerned about losing customers because according to reports, Apple is about to raise the price of premium tracks on iTunes to $1.29.
I’ve been using FTP Voyager for years, but recently it started to give me problems. My uploads were slow and the program kept crashing. I tried to download a new version, but uploading was disabled so I could not test it out. After weeks of frusration I did a search online and found FileZilla. Not…
I’ve been a frustrated fan of the Palm Treo since its inception. I’ve had every model of the Palm Treo at one time or another, in addition to various other Pocket PC phones, iPhone, BlackBerry, etc. I keep going back to the Treo because despite its faults, I like the power it has to do…
I’ve been having a problem with Google Docs recently. Their import engine is as strong as it could be. I’ve been sending a Word document back and forth with a friend; each of us making changes. When the last version arrived in my Gmail account I tried to view it as a Google document. The…
Are you a Google fanatic? Do you like their products (Gmail, Picasa, Google Docs, etc.)? Google is developing new products so fast it’s hard to keep up. I have one suggestion for them though. Hire some designers from Apple. Google doesn’t pay enough attention to the user experience. They seem to feel that as long…
I’ve been playing with Gmail’s “YouTube previews in mail” labs feature. When someone sends me a YouTube link I can now watch the video in Gmail without having to launch a new browser window. They have similar preview features for Picasa and Flickr too. If Gmail would only get rid of the “on behalf of”…
Twitter is such a cool little app, but how will they monetize it? At this point nobody knows, but several options are out there. They could charge companies to build apps on the Twitter backend, or they could send out advertisements as tweets (that won’t fly). They could place an ad after your tweet, but…
I saw Dick Cheney on CNN Today. He has gotten a bum rap in recent years. Yes you can question the decisions he made, but he made those decisions under very difficult circumstances. I’ve always liked his calm, measured approach to problem solving. He may not have gotten all the calls right, but history will…
I just installed Twirl for my Tweets. Looks good so far!
