2012

Your website doesn’t necessarily have to be optimized for mobile/tablets, but it’s entirely not functional, I hate you.

Tearing down my Mac’s DIY Fusion Drive. Performance was good, but never seemed consistent. Back to dual SSD config.

Merry Dies Natalis Solis Invicti! Sol Invictus, he’s the reason for the season! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_Invic…

Let’s kill technology journalism. Then we can rebuild it. blog.jamietie.com/lets-kill-tech…

Why is this surprising to anyone? lnkd.in/kPPkwA

Forgive me Father Ive, for I have sinned. I put a case on my iPhone 5.

OH: “I don’t need a Jesus lesson right now, I’m at work!”

Just have to make it through the end of this year!

I can’t wait until I’m not on our company’s Microsoft on-call engineer list. Last thing I want to do is be up at 1AM fixing Exchange issues.

TIL that OSX has a built in TFTP server.

I used to love Flickr, I’d spend time curating my photo stream, editing and selecting images, then it all kind of went to shit.

On the bright side I think I finally figure out the trick to get Mac Mail signatures to not look like shit on every other mail client.

I spend too much time tweaking my email signature. It’s not even that complicated. (Balance of basic + needed information.)

Ripped some CDs into iTunes for the first time in probably 4 years.

Re-Installed Little Snitch this morning. Was quickly reminded why it was uninstalled originally. #pita

The United States has more guns per person than any other country on the planet.

A distant second? Yemen. wapo.st/Z8E9sz

Ordered two new shirts from the VMware VCP store. Very disappointed. Will be asking for my money back. CHEAP STICKER that will easily peel.

All 6 adults killed at Newtown school were women. All 20 children killed were 6 or 7.

I did something kind of silly last night and bought Sparrow for iPhone even though the dev team got eaten by Google.

iPad mini ordered, for my mom.

I’m coming to the realization, I don’t need mobile push email. Actually, I’d probably be better off without it.

Tragic events like today’s shooting help me isolate and remove right wing extremists from my Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Love to look and feel of the new Dropbox for iOS.

Other than “not use signatures” give me a solution to the over sized font problem on Mac Mail when viewed in Outlook. Bugs me. Immensely.

Google+ for iOS v4 just dropped, all dozen or so of you still on Google+, go update.

If you search with the Google app on iPhone why doesn’t it direct you to the new maps app for search results on location stuff?

VMUG Conference

I used to go to a lot more of the Kansas City VMUG meetings back before I became a consultant (and had more control over my own schedule) but when I saw there would be a full day event (and that the headline speaker would be Steve Woznaik) I made sure to block the day off on my calendar. The conference was really well put together, kudos to the KC board members and everyone else involved with pulling it off.

The ultimate test of self control: local Apple Store has 16GB black iPad Mini on AT&T in stock. #iwant

Google Maps for iPhone: nice to have options, and I’ve installed it, but I will likely continue to use Apple Maps. Not had any major issues.

Flickr, once a place to share legitimate and thoughtful photography, now yet another place for badly applied filters bgr.com/2012/12/12/new…
