Re: iChat: Using Yahoo and MSN

Unfortunately, jabber transport doesn't support video chat. There is an open source msn client out there, http://www.amsn-project.net/

I haven't used it, so if you give it a try - let me know how it works out.

Really? Did you use any third party software to get it to work?

Re: Snow Leopard + Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000

That's a really good question, unfortunately I don't have an answer. The left fan on my macbook pro is acting up and it's driving me bonkers. Until I get it fixed (later this week), I refuse to use it.

Re: Complaints about GTD

junyor — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 04:13:57 -0000

I understand what you're saying. It's either too strict or too flexible depending on the situation. You end of spending a lot of time thinking, planning, contexting & filing -- instead of doing. I am not sure if that's entirely my fault or the nature of the work that I do.

I don't have a problem so much with the calendar (lots of meetings), but the context based system seems too cumbersome for me. Being a project based guy, I like to do a, b, c, d - rather than doing all the a's at once, then all the b's and so on.

I've tried to stick with it and have fallen off the bandwagon numerous times only to pick it back up. It's a good system for being able to start again and pound through a couple of days of uber productivity and then drop it again. Probably not the best strategy, but it's the one I have been using.

If it isn't GTD, then what? Do we need a new system? What does that look like? Keep thinking and keep writing and I'll keep reading.

Oh and by the way, do you have a good recipe for Snickerdoodle?

Re: Testing out iPhone App

I am carrying two phones now, the iPhone & the Blackberry Bold. I made the decision that instead of trying to have one device that could do everything, I would pick two that were the best in their fields. I am working on a follow-up post to recap my decision making process.

Thanks Brad for the reply, I'm ordering the fine points based on your recommendation. I will let you know how I fair with the stylus model. Since Fisher has "a 100% guarantee" policy, I figured it was worth a test drive.

From lifehacker: **Updated 5/21** If this trick doesn't work for you, go into about:config and make sure that network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to its default value true.

Re: Twitter Ain’t Worth Anything Right Now

junyor — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:01:58 -0000

I think you might be right. I love Twitter, but they if they can't keep it together I am going to have to give up. They've also messed with the API rate limit, now Twhirl updates less often, if I don't get rate limit exceeded.

Yeah, it's a little fall festival like, but I still like it. Agree with you on the background -- not my style, so I immediately changed it to a picture of my dog.

It seemed cumbersome to try it on the iphone. It does bring up a great market opportunity. WoW Mobile! I think that it'd sell like hotcakes!

I am curious to know if Dell is taking the same position in the United States as they are in Europe.

Great point and something that wasn't mentioned in the lifehacker review. The integrated search feature only let's you search feed titles. This is only cool if you have a zillion feeds and you only want to read something from a certain feed. It doesn't have the capability to find that great article you read 2 weeks ago about the singing cat.

Wow. That is a pretty heavy article for you to post. I am not sure that Fukuyamaâ€™s article is helpful in deciphering how the United States should approach foreign policy. (Maybe the book goes into more detail / doubt that I will invest the energy of reading it.) In my opinion this article is, to quote WS, â€œFull of sound and fury; signifying nothingâ€

You may want to take a look at â€œThe End of Fukuyama: Why his latest pronouncements miss the mark. By Christopher Hitchensâ€ to get a better understanding of the opposition to Fukuyamaâ€™s point of view.

However, I think both authors miss the point. In my humble opinion, Anti-Americanism is a product of Americaâ€™s status as the preeminent superpower in the world.

It seems to me that the real argument is how to approach foreign policy (soft power â€“ diplomacy & economics) vs (hard power â€“ bombs & troops). To that I only have one response, to quote TR, "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far"

How will history remember this war? I donâ€™t have a crystal ball and I doubt that Mr. Fukuyama does either.
