a history

just returned from the movie theatre — watched «a history of violence»; the new david cronenberg. besides it was the first film from him i really enjoyed, i was surprised about the absence of speed. it flows from A to Z with no speed at all. great actors. great movie. i hope the graphic novel by john wagner – the movie is based on — is also great. i have to check this out.

(late night, testing the blog-function of «Flock»)

flocked


testing the new «social» browser called «Flock». for a developer version it’s a cool cat — the integration of the blogging function is easy and very handy. and there was a surprise: I was asked to «Join the WordPress Flock» @ WordPress.com! — the also brand new blog service for people without their own server/hoster/database/php/whatever box (the famous maker of the «installable» blog solution «WordPress»). but you need an invitation — if you don’t use «Flock».
back to the topic. this new browser on the block is fast. really fast. it feels a little like «Firefox», well, it’s based on «Firefox». it’s the skeleton of «Flock». i still have to test if it could be a replacement for … — I don’t know. using «Safari» for my everyday web wandering. «Firefox» for web dev. «NetNewsWire» for my news RSS. but hey, who knows …

agent report: fifty-fifty!

a few thousand …

Aperture

THIS is a killer app from Apple: Aperture
and we’ll see what Adobe and other «Pro» software companies gonna fire back as an answer.
It’s a competitor to Adobe Bridge and «little» iView Media Pro. The only bad thing is the price tag: $499.00 — with that it’s clear marked as a «Pro» tool.
