Re: Scribkin’s WordPress Plugins - Let Me Show You Them

I actually wrote this post over a year ago (5-17-08 to be precise) so the site has undergone many changes since then. Onle of the last changes I made was to go with a very light theme with no CSS so that people could choose their own font via their browser preference.

However, that doesn't mean I'm not using *any* plugins now.. In fact, I currently have 33 active plugins, including: Add to Any, Akismet, All In One SEO, Disqus and more.

Hm, I could probably stand to get rid of some of the older ones, though.

Looking forward to extended TweetDeck mania next week - of a positive variety. Like many others, I've been trying to get the iPhone app throughout the day, and hope to see it soon. Want me to drive over to Apple HQ and give a little knock on the front door? :)

Persistence seemed to pay off very nicely for you Chad. Thanks for sharing some of the steps you took for those who have had questions on how to get back in once you're out.

Martin, glad to hear you like Google Reader. I also know Feedly well,
and enjoy that product. I was the first ever to write about Feedly,
and have covered the service several times since its launch last June.

I think everything boils down to expectation management and you're right, the first expectation that needs to be managed is your own.

Lucid point as always Justin, thank you.

Jay, you are not the first to mention that bluetooth out works with the 3.1 release. I got that feedback on FriendFeed and via Google Reader as well.

Re: It Just Might Be the Droid You Are Looking For

louismg — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:16:32 -0000

Thanks, Cole. The Droid is the first Android device that I have been impressed with. I don't think it will be the last.

Re: It Just Might Be the Droid You Are Looking For

louismg — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:15:46 -0000

I can't speak officially for Google, but assume they may have a licensing agreement for the OS or apps to each mobile carrier? Maybe I should Google it. :)

Re: It Just Might Be the Droid You Are Looking For

louismg — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:14:57 -0000

The likelihood of Apple giving Android access to the iPhone, given their revenue on iTunes, is pretty close to zero. :) But I like your different approach.

Re: It Just Might Be the Droid You Are Looking For

louismg — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:30:14 -0000

Exactly. Amusingly, this morning a friend was trying to convince
another friend of mine (who happens to work at Apple) that someone he
knew had purchased the new mini iPhone from Apple while in Japan, and
that it had a keyboard. The Apple employee simply held out his iPhone,
and said "there is only one iPhone."

While he was clearing up the young man's delusion, it had me thinking,
there is only one iPhone. There will be many other Droids - lower case
or upper case.

I think it is safe to love Apple and love Google products at the same time. Sorry to hear you dropped your PowerBook! That's a rough one. My wife did the same when presenting in her high school classroom, and I had to pony up to buy a replacement the next day. Ouch. The Droid is pretty cool, and I hope Apple has an answer to it that's more than the 3G(S).

Every time I boot up my Office products and my Mac slows to a crawl, I think about what the alternative must be. Do I need a new laptop just to deal with Word and Excel? If I could Go Google and get this promised land without the slowdowns, that would be amazing.

Re: Could A Real Apple Fan Completely "Go Google"?

louismg — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:41:12 -0000

Without customer support, any product has issues. I have found Google's engineers and representatives easily accessible in many areas. Some have said because I am fairly visible on this blog and elsewhere, I get special treatment, but I don't think that happens often. They truly want their products to work well for the masses.
