#“Just bought Gravity Forms for WordPress”
I really like Machform but the lack of conditional fields was killing me along with the necessity to edit CSS to make the forms match the site theme.
What I really need is a full workflow system but this should do the trick for the time being.
And I got 20% off using WOOFORM20 so that’s nice :-)
#“Buzz Reveals Google’s Split Personality - PCWorld Business Center”
I want Google to start treating me like a person. Just one person, not as at least three different accounts.
What he said, times 10.
#“If the Nokia N8-00 is for real, Nokia may have just kept me as a customer”
Nokia N8-00: first Symbian^3 handset with 12 megapixel camera, 720p video, and HDMI leaked in summer roadmap? – Engadget
This is exactly what I’ve been screaming for.
Ye see, I don’t give a crap about OSes. Win7, Ubuntu, ChromeOS, OSX, whatevah. All I ask is “does it have the tools I want/need”. If it’s yes and if it stays out of my goddammed way (no more N95-8GB questions), then apps can be written in Cobol to run on a VMS emulator for all I care.
12MP. Ye beauty.
And don’t ye effing dare skimp on the memory!!!!!!!!!!!!
#“Deeply satisfying to overclock my phone”
SetCPU changes the CPU clock (overclock, underclock, or tweak speeds) on your rooted G1, ADP1, Magic, Nexus, or Droid to increase performance or save battery.
In the old days I did it on PC CPUs but that doesn't compare to overclocking my G1 phone from 384MHz to 528MHz.
Supposedly some people have it stable at 700MHz.
A hackers delight.
#“My Profile on Google Buzz is…., but I ain’t happy”
Right, I'm in playing with Google Buzz on the Desktop and I don't like it but I'll keep at it for a while. It's Friendfeed 2.0, and we all know what a roaring success that was.
#“How to get a non-Deadly Buzz on”
It looks like Google Buzz accounts inside your GMail are like hen’s teeth at the minute but if you are desperate to try it out and you have a smartphone you should be in luck.
#“Google Buzz on Mobile - What Latitude should have been”
I did a running commentary during the announcement on Twitter. Not convinced by the Desktop stuff but the mobile bit is brilliant and I'd be crapping myself in any Local-focused site.
Read this stuff in reverse order:
@dermotcasey I'm unconvinced by the desktop stuff. But mobile blew my socks off.
No update for Google Maps in Android Market. C'monnnnnnnnnn #buzz
Forget all my negative stuff about the desktop side. Google actually has me really excited by the mobile aspects of #buzz.
Oh shit it's Gillmor. Wait for him to ask Sergey if they have implemented Track in #buzz
Gowalla picked the wrong day to roll out an API. Yesterday might have been a smidge better :-) #buzz
I said it over a year ago after seeing @marissamayer at @leweb , Google will own Local. That new mobile #buzz stuff is incredible.
OK, the mobile app integrating into Place Pages is a killer. Nice. Maybe Yelp shudda took the money.
So Google simultaneously going after Facebook, Twitter, Friendfeed, Foursquare, Yelp and Gowalla. Boiling the ocean.
Ouch ouch ouch. New Google Maps for Symbian, WiMo and Android. "Other platforms coming". Sticking it to the Steve.
Vic thinks they are called "Tweeds" not Tweets. Screw your algorithms. I want filters! That I create. Human not machine. Geddit?
So Google is adding a bunch of features that Facebook is deprecating like auto-suggesting best content. Welcome to 2008.
"The @ reply is a feature that is becoming popular on the web". He can't even say Twitter. Jesus. Buzz = Non-Enterprise Google Wave?
Google Buzz. How many poxy products have had that name. Including Yahoo. Up there with Bing.
#“Dodgeball, Orkut, Jaiku, Latitude. Spot the pattern?”
Yes just 4 of Google’s attempts to do “Social” online. All complete flops. Or growing until Google bought them and killed them.
It’s pretty hard for an organisation that’s built on secrecy to build something social.
When has a representative of Google Ireland ever attended any local event here in an official capacity? Or sponsored one? Figure the basics out before you start trying to apply technology to a human activity.
So let’s see what they announce today.
#“WordPress To Posterous Users: Graduate to a Full Blog. Eh, no.”
So I have multiple wordpress.org and wordpress.com blogs and yet I still set up a Posterous blog last week. It’s about a damn sight more than an email interface.
For example does wordpress.com autopost to Facebook or Twitter? Does it have a powerful bookmarklet like the one I am typing in right now?
Wordpress.com is about getting you into wordpress.com. Posterous is about distribution.
#“The next Facebook Developer Garage Ireland”
The next Garage is on. The last one was jam packed to the rafters so RSVP early. Fab location too. Should be the best yet.
