I’ve discovered (quite accidentally) that if you put backslashes (“/”) in your GMail label names, iPhone Mail interperets them as nested folders. A handy trick for those looking to simulate a folder structure in thief webmail. I use Folders4Gmail to accomplish the same thing in the webapp.
Just trying out the WordPress iPhone app (from the bus no less).
A deeper iPhone review is on it’s way – I’m still trying out some things.
Once upon a time, I built a digital picture frame out of on old Thinkpad laptop I was given by my father. He even helped me out by making an awesome maple picture frame and custom mat for it. The results were awesome.
Unfortunately, it only hung on my wall for about a week before my cat decided to try to tug on the power cable hard enough to actually rip it off the wall. The motherboard popped off its mount, severing the LCD cable, and rendering the picture frame dead. I couldn’t bear to give up on it, so it sat in my closet for a few years until I finally decided I needed to resurrect it.
This weekend I put the final touches on the new frame. Using an old ex-Amazon laptop I purchased at a special employee-only sale, I’ve brought it back to life.
Read on for more details.
Since I was just about sick of my old blog theme, I spent some time this weekend and worked up a new one.
It’s heavily based on Tarski, with a few local tweaks. Tarski worked out great as a base, and I highly recommend it.
Yes, I’m back from hiding with another empty promise to blog more often. :)
This one is a pretty simple and “obvious” hack. Last week Cool Tools posted a link to a simple and very ingenous device for holding those extra cords behind your desk, the Keep-a-Cable cord organizer.
While I could have just bought a pack for $5 and be done with it (and I encourage you to do so if you’re so inclined rather than rather blatantly ripping off their idea like I did), I’m just not that kind of guy. I can’t look at a flat 5-cent piece of stamped plastic and not want to make my own.
So I did. Details below the fold.
