Switched to Trillian

Switched to Trillian 03/24/2005 04:04 PM

Yesterday, I had to add Yahoo IM client to communicate with team members of a project I've just joined.  With three IM clients running (MSN, AIM, and Yahoo), I had three contact lists and UIs to get confused with.  Yikes.  Then I remembered Trillian which supported all three IM protocols.  It took me about 5 minutes to replace the three IM clients with Trillian.  So far, I've had no problem at all and am happy with it.

Switched to iTunes + iPod

Switched to iTunes + iPod 12/22/2004 01:35 AM

I've been playing around with my new iPod lately trying to figure out what all the fuss is about, and I have to admit that the hype is justified. I've been attached to Windows Media Player for quite a while and it wasn't easy to give it up, but the combination of iTunes + iPod is very slick and the user interface is extremely simple (note to self: you could learn a lot from Apple's UI work).

What's interesting is how using iTunes has changed my music buying habits. In the past I've always bought complete CDs, but now I'm purchasing individual songs via iTunes instead. In the last few weeks I've bought a ton of songs - but no albums. I now have an eclectic assortment of songs that I'm trying to figure out how to best arrange into playlists.

For example, here's my first try at an iMix playlist. Yes, I know - it's a weird set of songs (Danzig and Johnny Cash don't usually go well together), but I actually enjoy the mix. Oh, and I originally had Frank Zappa's "Echidna's Arf (Of You)" as the last track, but as far as iTunes is concerned, Zappa doesn't exist (anyone from Zappa.com listening?).

Other’s Fans. 04/06/2005 09:03 PM
Engadget: Switched On: Apple, RIAA Should Sue Each Other’s Fans. "Apple, meanwhile, must struggle against teenagers who must violate the Geneva Convention in order to extract information about mind-blowing new products such as pastel socks. ... With the average RIAA lawsuit settling for around 5,000 critical Slashdot posts, the numbers quickly add up; Apple and the RIAA can make more money suing customers than selling them songs. ... Astonishing as it may seem given that few companies besides Apple have the raw engineering acumen to remove the LCD screen from an MP3 player..." Be sure to read the rest; it's hilarious.

A circuit-switched email network

A circuit-switched email network 09/22/2004 04:52 PM
Right now the global email network is pretty much a large scale packet-switched network. Packets (emails) are passed from node to node, on a potentially dynamically changing path, until they reach the endpoint. Individual hops are synchronous but the system on the whole is asynchronous. (Deferrals.)

Post-circuit-switched voicemail

Post-circuit-switched voicemail 11/01/2003 12:57 PM
Nice rant on how "circuit-switched" thinking is holding back advancement in telephony:

Assume a phone call requires an (extremely generous) 3Kb per second of audio. One hour of stored audio is about 10Mb of data. This is a pretty modest amount by the standards of modern flash memeory. Your mobile phone is perfectly capable of storing all your voicemail. The network is perfectly capable of transmitting the data in a sensible amount of time. Unlike email, most voicemail is listened to -- the amount of wasted download is small...

You should be able to listen to voicemails on your plane journey home. You should be able to reply to them on a store-and-forward basis, even when you're not connected to the network. And most of all, you shouldn't have to use a clunky telephony user interface to navigate a message queue. And you shouldn't be restricted to one device for accessing your own data.

Switched to Verizon and the Motorola
V710 Phone 08/13/2004 12:33 PM
As previously threatened, I've switched to Verizon and picked up a Motorola V710 yesterday. They just arrived on Wednesday, so I'm one of the first few folks to get one (at least from my local Verizon Wireless store). To recap, my reasons for switching are twofold: I wanted to get onto Verizon for the superior coverage. I wanted a Bluetooth phone. The V710 is Verizon's one and only Bluetooth phone. So far, all I can say is that it's...
