Good piece. I’m a longtime Tweetbot user but I generally only use it these days when Twitter annoys me with too many ads. I hit that point last week when I was getting one promoted tweet every 8 organic tweets. But as great as Tweetbot is, the lack of support for basics like Twitter cards lessens the overall…

At this point, would it kill Apple to release an iMessage dealy for Windows?

My account didn’t get suspended, but Google did basically stop running the script after less than 1 full day due to the frequency of checks. So I uninstalled it.

A six-year-old article that became very handy today. While I have been using Daniel Slaughter’s Gmail POP3 script (which is excellent and I highly recommend it), that script is not yet compatible with Inbox by Google - and I’d rather have Inbox in a tab on my desktop than Gmail.

I upgraded (deliberately) my home PC to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and Windows 10 completely and utterly broke my sound. Windows forums are filled with people with the same problem, and all Microsoft could do was point you to the same help file in the website that everyone tried that didn’t help. For some reason, my…

I’m a big Tweetbot fan, but Twitter’s ever-changing feature and API restrictions means that Tweetbot is often upwards of a year behind feature-wise, and often never gets the full feature set of the native Twitter app. Heck, Tweetbot doesn’t even have proper access to Twitter cards, meaning my Twitter timeline (which…

Twitter could make this a lot easier on themselves if they’d implement cross-application timeline syncing - so that when I open Twitter on my iPhone, it automatically syncs my timeline to where I last left off from the Twitter homepage, or TweetDeck or Twitter for iPad or whatever.

ACK! $6.99 in Canada!?

For whatever reason, Facebook enabled this in my account back in late December around Christmas when they did their initial test roll out to selected users. I used it a few times since then. It works as advertised.

I really, really, really want to like Spark. But every time I put it on my iPhone, it refuses to either show notifications, or show icon badges, or show up in my notification centre, or SOMETHING. It’s so bug-ridden it’s crazy.

Just flew Vancouver to Australia, and then New Zealand back to Vancouver - 15 1/2 hours and 13 1/2 hours.

I had breakfast at his restaurant at the Linq in Vegas on my last trip - AND IT WAS GOOD! (No, seriously, it was.)

I don’t like *noise* per se, but I fall asleep much faster if there’s some kind of white noise, like a fan. I love sleeping with the fan on in the summer because the motor hum blots out all the other noise. In hotels, I’ll crank the AC fan as far as it will go to get a white noise level that will drown out the hotel…

I really love Tweetbot but find in my every day life I only tend to use it for a week or two at a time before going back to the official Twitter app because of Tweetbot’s lack of access to the full Twitter API. Plus the official Twitter app has gone from “annoyingly adequate” to “surprisingly good” (IMO).

Coke Blak was awesome. When it went away, Pepsi’s “Diet Pepsi Caramel Jazz” was a pretty good equivalent, and then it went away. No I just use coffee-flavoured Torani syrup in my Coke Zero.

I was an early Spark supporter but I have grown frustrated with Readdle slow updates and the general feeling that they bit off more than they can chew here. I gave up on it several weeks ago. Maybe I'll give it another try when they hit version 2 in about 5 years.

I like touch screens but I have oily skin and I can’t abide by the ridiculous number of fingerprint smudges on my Windows laptop when I use the touch screen. I buy a smudge-proof screen protector for my iOS devices mainly to avoid cleaning them 382 times per day.

Me, too, actually, though I’d much rather that the bundling have a custom time option, as it would be far more handy to have my bundles delivered at 7 p.m. than 7 a.m. But I took my 2 most low priority bundles and have set them for the 7 a.m. delivery and I’ll try that for a few days.

One further thought: My main issue with the whole bundling concept is that the times are too inflexible. I don’t want my bundles to show up at 7 a.m. I’d much rather they show up at 7 p.m. - that way I get my day’s emails about things when I’m home at night and have time to look at them rather than at 7 a.m. when I’m…

When Inbox first came out, I really didn’t like it. Google sold it as being part Gmail and part Google Now, and it wasn’t nearly enough Google Now for me and there were some REALLY clunky parts on the email side (like the fact it took way too many taps on the iPhone to delete an email).
