Remember I occasionally pull saved drafts and see what I wrote and didn't post? I'm doing it again this evening before going out for a drink. A few good ones here, which i'll post in full, and some... other stuff... which I guess gets summarised then deleted.
Bites
Bad vibes about the way Chrome OS was being discussed as a competitor without any evidence. Thankfully that one did die down, but it'll be back, and there will be people touting it as the savior long before it's running on John Doe's machine.
Good vibes about Win 7 E, now irrelevant. Me wondering if the rotating backdrop in Win 7 RC1 will turn out to be an Ultimate only feature. I still wonder about this one. It'd be ridiculous, but backdrop stuff certainly made up part of Vista Ultimate.
Good vibes about RSS Player on the iPhone. That remains. Looking forward to version 2 to see what gets improved. Top of my head... Surely there's a way to resume videos and enhanced podcasts? If we want, let us choose to do all our deleting manually. Fix the way the first few ms get cut off an audio podcast. Test resuming weirdness with lots of people's servers and make it consistent. It's a great app though, no question.
Empty Vessels
Me whining about the number of fan pages on Facebook that are just a slogan that when clicked on reveal just a bunch of fans and no actual discussion. That hasn't changed.
Me whining about suggestions feature now including such fan pages. Still don't like that.
I Like My iPhone
Me lamenting that immediately after I bought an iPhone people of note said it wasn't cool anymore. So what? I like it.
Natural Born Killers
Me in disbelief that I watched NBK for what I thought was the first time and realised 10 minutes from the end that in fact i've seen it before. I still can't work this weirdness out.
Is L ready for the D?
Me crying about not being able to get my freshly bought 802.11n card working with Ubuntu with WPA . It wasn't too bad but not worth posting. I reached the conclusion that the problem is driver related, not Ubuntu related. After all, when my HDD died I distinctly remember using an Ubuntu live disc to continue using my laptop with full internet access for days, and there was no ethernet cable involved.
Asexual
Me exclaiming that this word gets misused... That's literally what I wrote. Then I looked it up and found out it actually has both meanings, so I decided against going any further with the rant.
Why Blogger?
In which I began to discuss why I host this blog on Blogger, without much insight. It's fine for this purpose, I guess.
Bailouts Fail
Where I gave poorly constructed opinions about the "badness" of bailouts. They don't work, for sure, but I had nothing useful to add to the conversation that night.
Really, the better stuff in the drafts posts are the ones I decided to post in full rather than the ones in this post, which is a little lightweight now I read though it. Scroll down and look at those... 3 I think. Ok, pub.
