Comment on Happy Anniversary… by Ken Walker

Would be nice if MobileMe had some iPad upload love for photos. I’m not sure what I’m going to do for France/Poland trip in the fall. Better start figuring that out. DropBox does let you upload but it’s best to create directories in your DropBox account FIRST because the iPad App doesn’t allow that. I logged a feature request for that.

Have Fun!!

There’s a new search engine: http://duckduckgo.com/ It is still in development, sort of, but has good reviews.

I had already tried logging in to see if it would fix it. It did not. Even if it had, this wasn't required before, because I wasn't [*] getting the "don't show it to me constantly" behaviour even though I normally don't log in.

[* Update: changed "was" to "wasn't" to make the sentence match reality. ]

Interestingly, I too use Safari and have been regularly using Google (mostly from the search box in Safari) and do not see this ad.

Re: Bing. I tried it the other day and found it to be quite good. I now use Bing as the default on one machine and Google on another just to see which does better for my searches. So far they are different but no clear winner yet.

I guess the preference is stored in your account, so you need to login to get rid of it. Anyways, Bing is very nice and I never looked back at google after switching to it.

Comment on Still no iPad camera connection kits? by Ken Walker

They’re pretty useful I must say. I bring them with me in my iPad bag and at the cottage it’s been great snagging photos off of other peoples SD or USB into my iPad and then it shows up for sync when I get back home. I’m not looking to do anything wild, no unlocking, etc. and I use a Bluetooth keyboard so not plugging anything like that in.

Guess I was lucky pushing the button to buy them when I pre-ordered my iPad.

Comment on Forest Fires (Updated) by Coreen

When I woke up I thought for sure the Carp dump was on fire. Bill walked the dogs with a cell phone in case one of our neighbours was a la feu. There’s no way that smelled like a normal forest fire, that smelled like garbage burning. I’m so happy it rained today. *g*

There. 5 posts. That’s at least a start on making up for not posting for so long.

Roo tweeted the following...

@theMcQ Outlook 2003 -> Mac. I'd do it via gmail: lifehacker.com. Other option I'd consider is via thunderbird.

(Ah, Twitter, is this really the future? No more comments on blogs because it takes too long?)
