So I took the day off and instead of sleeping in, I am griping about technology.
FourSquare – I don’t get it. I don’t think I ever will get it. You are broadcasting to the world where you are. Outside a group of real life friends, why would anyone else want to see this? I can get a Facebook like feature that would be opt-in for this (and not those fucking status updates) where you could see your friends on a map or something, but I really don’t want the world knowing what I am up to. Apparently it is just me though since they have been getting an asshole full of VC money lately.
Scrobbling On The Mac – Why is there no good modern Scrobbler client for last.fm’s service on the Mac right now? iScrobbler for the Mac was kicking ass for so long and then it just died. It was an open source client too and no one has touched it. While I know there are a number of other Scrobbler clients/iTunes controllers out there that will report your computer played music, but I want an application the will reliably track what I play on my iPod/iPhone as well. Nothing out there seems to do it that is still being actively developed. Somebody help me out here.
iPhone 4 – I was going to say something about my new iPhone and the whole reception issue debacle. Then I bought a much needed case for it and really just forgot about it. I mean you can video chat with this thing. It records HD video. Once the case went on, my bars were back. Let me say that for me though in and around NYC even though when the bars dropped when I didn’t have a case, my calls were all fine. I may have an issue with the proximity sensor though… Story developing.
Updates to this page – So I updated WordPress to 3.0 here at utterer.org. I also switched the theme to the default “Twenty Ten” theme because it is nice and simple and lets me make that cheesy header image of the picture I showed in my previous post. Of course this means I am going to have to make more posts to knock that image off the main page so people think it has been my header forever. I am also using all native WordPress Widgets for the sidebar now as opposed to copy and pasting templates. Actually the PSN game ID is still copy and pasted. I still don’t know PHP.
