Ken, so good to hear from you again. Your "voice" is always welcome here. Great observation, and I'm glad this (ahem) struck a chord.

Thanks! I just added you as an author -- which means you can create posts and publish them. Please write some cheat sheets and howtos! I'll continue asking dumb questions. :-)

Oy. It turns out I need your email address not username. Sorry for the runaround.

Here's the site.

http://droidie.com/

If you have a wordpress.com account, let me know what it is and I'll set you up as a contributor.

No problem, Laura.
Obviously your friends have poor taste in theme songs for podcasts! ;-)

Re: I got a DROID (Scripting News)

dave — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:56:36 -0000

Okay, let's work on this.

I'll set the site up right now.

Oh, you mean with the interviews also in the beginning? That's something I'll have to write down and consider.

One of the real problems is that almost *all* of the people we interviewed were first timers - and none of them really felt (at the time) that their trip was anything really deep or effecting.

Which is pretty normal during your ride. But we really needed voices that understood how things began to sink in back home. So that was always an issue :P

If I started a Droid blog on wordpress.com, would you be willing to post
that stuff there?

I do agree with that, Jason. Thanks for the comment. Life is a journey for everyone and you will come to know things eventually... It's already planned out that way :)

Hey kenwooi. Yeah I know i'll be fine :) can't help that there will be worry though. Personal life before family.. interesting why in that order?

Re: Peek was worth a peek (Scripting News)

dave — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:36:03 -0000

That was my idea.

Hard to say, my eyes are only 54 years old, but they're not in great shape
and I had no trouble reading the screen.

The only way to tell is to try it out, I guess.

Thanks for the tips.

Is there a good website or book to read about Android from a user point of
view?

There's a lot of culture to absorb all at once.

A cheat sheet would be nice! :-)

Hey Hedge - thanks for the awesome comment. Yes, definitely, when I said interviews I just meant the things Amanda and I filmed during 64 Days - we're still hoping to collect many more Stockpile clips. We have a few ideas we like for integrating those into the film :)

Re: Leapfish Brings the Web New Life

microrahsheen — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:41:55 -0000

Yes. Definitely interesting so far. Can't wait to see where they're
going to go with it.

Re: Adam Slaney Facebook Warning: Real or DoS attack?

PurpleCar — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:27:41 -0000

MIke: I KNOW! Back in 2008! Isn't that a shame that this Adam Slaney hoax on Facebook is still making the rounds?

I don't watch my blog stats, but whenever I pass my Wordpress Dashboard, this post is always at the top. It's gotten, literally, thousands of views. I keep adding the new names that get put on the spam email, so people can just search on the name and find out it's hoax. Snopes is wonderful, but they can't keep adding every new name that comes down the pike. If you see any new names in the hoax, please come back to purplecar.net and let me know, or find me on facebook as facebook.com/christinecavalier/

And don't worry too much about your friends. Everyone is in a learning stage right now. It's only been 10 years or so of widespread internet access, and it's a scary place. There is very little regulation, protection or education about it. Try to have some patience with the end users. (Of course, I say this, but I rip my hair out over their inane behaviors on a weekly basis.)

Thanks for checking in!

Peace!

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? :)

Still need the ability to do a sequence of them.

I would suggest that you speak to somebody involved in Consumer protection in South Africa. There must surely be such an organization in the Pretoria area.

Re: I got a DROID (Scripting News)

Actually I'm really beginning to like the keyboard. I really like the way it
suggests words, much much much better than the iPhone.

Re: I got a DROID (Scripting News)

Thank you! It worked. I can now see the DROID on my Mac desktop.

Re: Twitter needs a command-line (Scripting News)

dave — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:57:05 -0000

It needs to be available for everyone if we're to build on it.

So I don't want to sound unreasonable, but until everyone uses Firefox, no
-- that's not good enough.

It has to be a website, imho.

Re: Twitter needs a command-line (Scripting News)

dave — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:51:58 -0000

Any work in this area should work *exactly* like these commands.

We need some more now, and it appears Twitter is focusing elsewhere...

Prior art is essential.

I don't see the SD card. Here's a picture of the Droid with the battery removed:

Am I missing something??

Re: I got a DROID (Scripting News)

dave — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:47:04 -0000

Thanks for the tip, now a dumb question -- where is the "notifications shade?"

I've been looking for that for other purposes.

Also how do I get it to stop chiming at me when an email comes in -- I get a lot of email! :-)
