I received some feedback and I think I should comment it. Before I start let me say that I always appreciate comments and feedback. I don’t need people to always agree with me – even if I know that I’m right
– if you think that I wrote something wrong or if you have suggestions how I could improve hopelesscom feel free to send me a mail, write a comment, contact me through a IM service or send a carrier pigeon.
More posts please
Yes I know. My posting schedule is far away from regular. But the last year was crazy. I moved in a new apartment, I moved my office and I had a lot of work. Running a company is nothing you do between two blog posts in 4 hours a day.
The good news are that things are back to normal. Now I can keep up with a regular posting schedule and even get some projects done.
Theme / URL changes
Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.
I tried running my own blog software and content management system written in Django. Writing a CMS and seeing how it goes in production and powering my site was great. But there were two things I didn’t think of.
- Maintaining software that depends on a third party framework can really suck
- If there is a error or bug you should be able to fix it in time
One pissed me of, two broke my neck. That’s the whole story.
I just didn’t have the time to maintain my CMS. And through software changes my themes changed a lot.
I tried to keep my URLs working. It looks like it didn’t always work. Again. Mea culpa. I try to fix it so you won’t see many broken links from external sites.
You will see a new theme in near future. I’m working on it but due to non existing Photoshop skills development slowed down.
You’ll also get my old posting with comments back. Even if I’m not sure how I’ll do it, I’ll find a way
More reviews
I don’t really like writing reviews. First of I have a strict rule in buying gadgets.
Only buy them if you really want and need them
I don’t know how much stuff I had in my basement or just gave it away as present because I never used it. Most gadgets are not worth the money. And since I really feel tired of playing with useless stuff (hardware, software – you name it. Nearly everything related to computers) I won’t write reviews in near future.
If you really want me to review a gadget send it to me. Don’t expect to get it back if I like it. Send it on your own risk!
iPhone OS 4 / iPad
I didn’t write much about the iPhone OS 4 because I am not interested.
It doesn’t provide any features I’m looking forward to. I don’t need multitasking on my iPhone. Maybe on the iPad. But not on the iPhone. And that’s it.
As long as my 3g runs well, as long as I can Twitter, call people and write mails I have nearly everything I need. As I said in my previous post I’m sick of all that 2.0 stuff and I won’t upgrade my hardware just to run more IM clients and Twitter in background.
Maybe I’ll get the new iPhone because I can extend my contract. It would be pretty dumb not getting the new iPhone for free.
iPad? Yeah. Got one. Nice little toy. Only got it because I’ll get some work related applications and because I think it is a nice presentation device while in a client meeting.
I am still not used to writing on the iPad, even if it isn’t troublesome I prefer a real keyboard. Beside that it integrates well in my day. Reading news, writing one or two emails while not on my computer,… no big deal. It saves some time, it gets out of your way but it doesn’t replace a computer, laptop or iPhone. You have decide on your own if it fits in your day or not.
Really sick of 2.0?
Yes.
I think I answered everything that was asked several times and wasn’t private.
As I said: if you have suggestions or comments just drop me a line.
