Thanks so much for this find. I'll update the article with these instructions. I've already tried it and confirmed that that "Invalid Address" dialog is indeed gone!

BTW, I found no traces of your comment from yesterday. Nothing in spam folder either.

Re: TV.com Launches WatchList: TV Guide for the Social Media Era

I really like what TV.com and clicker.com are doing for organizing web tv content. With so much content out there, these are the curators we've been talking about for so long.

Can't wait for one of them (or a newcomer) to implement what I envisioned years ago as the "Google TV Dashboard" (http://red66.com/2006/04/google-media/).

While you're at it... there can be only one Highlander movie.

That's a great list of missing features... I wrote this when the original 3G iPhone came out... Now it's the 3GS and still most of them are missing. I'm thinking of turning your comment into a guest post.

Completely agree... very fan friendly, though we've only met via Twitter. Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comment. ;-)

4 tweets... that's awesome. And you're right, that last Indy Jones flick could've been avoided.

Thanks.

@scottgina It's an amazing book... fun and enlightening. And you're right, we should all pay more attention to family stories as we grow up - after a while it's our turn to tell them.

Thanks!

Thanks Kelly. I'll take a look at it and test it on my other songs.

That's not a bad idea... mine's already showing the wear and tear! Thanks for stopping by.

PS: Good advice on that tweet of yours!

He he... congratulations, page mate!

Ron, let me know how this works for you on a daily basis. How large is your distribution list? I currently use it several times a day with a list of twelve and it works like a charm.

Exactly! I've never really understood why they "hide" the 13th floors.

Where you at FOWA?

cgranier — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 17:38:14 -0000

Even more strange is that there's a 13th Floor!!!! Have you visited it?

Re: The space between Twitter and FriendFeed (Scripting News)

cgranier — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 12:42:05 -0000

I see two quick ways to create a more graphical twitter:

1. A twitter client (twhirl, tweetdeck, etc) that interprets each incoming link and displays it appropriately, using the client's cpu and connection.

2. A greasemonkey script that does the same for the web client, perhaps using an IFRAME control or some more elaborate logic to inject the resulting object into the web client's twitterstream.

Hey, I zee you've got yourself a nice new page! Awesome... I like the idea of turning our Friendfeeds into blogs. I like the clean design, too. Hi5 to you!

Thanks... That option-restore trick saved me a lot of grief.

Yes, I'd definitely like the speed to enjoy MLB's game update app with video clips... Will I wait until the next new iPhone comes out? Probably not... I'm sure I'll be getting a 3G at some point. I'm just not lining up at the Apple Store right now.

Re: 7 Missing Features from the iPhone 3G

cgranier — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:17:18 -0000

@Pete, I agree that most of these can (and most probably will) be patched by software developers. Who knows, maybe it's Apple's way to get developers coding for the iPhone (not that I think they need further convincing).

Another hardware issue I did not mention is memory capacity. Where are the 32GB and 64GB models? Granted, I still haven't filled my 16GB, but I find that I use the iPhone more as a multimedia content device than as a phone (it's not a multimedia-capable cellphone, it's a cellphone-capable multimedia tool), so in time it will completely replace my iPod.

I do hope the new OS allows developers to quickly incorporate all these needed improvements. (Luckily, they should all work on the first-generation models).

Finally, about the AT&T contract, if the iPhone is available unlocked overseas (and that's not certain yet), then it creates a local problem... though I'm sure the 2.0 software will eventually be unlocked as well.

Well, they seem to have this covered with the new MobileMe service, although at $100/yr.

Yes, no MMS either. Although I haven't really needed it (probably because it's not available on the iPhone). I mostly send pictures as attachments, or should I say attachment (singular), as you can only attach one image per message.
