Geeking out!

iOS 4

by Michael on Jun.22, 2010, under Computers

iOS 4 appears to be eating the battery of my 3G for breakfast. Someone said that the wifi no longer goes to sleep when you put the iPhone into sleep mode. This seems plausible to me, because the new OS supports a number of multitasking operations (not on the 3G mind you). I have turned off wifi and I will see how quickly the battery dies from here. It doesn’t make a huge difference to me as I will probably own a iPhone 4 in a couple of days.

Side note: the updated wordpress app means that I can once again post from my iPad!

Time

by Michael on Jun.01, 2010, under Rambling

I need more spare time.  I should probably figure out how to better manage blocks of time, because I have a couple of programming and networking projects that I’d like to work on, and I just haven’t been good about prioritizing them.  I’ve tried GTD but I haven’t been terribly successful at regimenting myself.  Anyone have good suggestions for time management?

Facebook no more

by Michael on May.18, 2010, under Computers, Rambling

Just closed my Facebook account.  Mark Zuckerberg obviously disdains the users of his service, and I will not support him.

Steam has been released for the Mac.  A number of games on my steam account already have Mac ports.

The second step is Linux:

So… beautiful… should have sent… a poet.

Everyone, its time to celebrate.
