Through a combination of an all-around stressful day and well-honed work avoidance skills, I managed to accomplish absolutely nothing.
But enough about me. How was your day?
You can’t scroll away from Encyclopedia Britannica’s website. The other stuff on the screen remains there. Forever. Like gonorrhea.
Google Responds To Privacy Concerns With Unsettlingly Specific Apology
This just made my day.
These should say the same thing. They don’t.
You know what I did? Renamed the file. I know, it’s just mind-blowing to think anyone would ever do that.
(screw you Xcode SCM)
What happens during three hours of iPhone development.
You can see where the iPhone simulator was in the middle. Bottom left corner of the screen is set to Exposé all windows. Dock is on the right side.

Quite possibly the best slide of the entire NSConference.
Holy crap it’s a picture of me at NSConference! (I’m the blurry guy in the foreground on the right)
Free space
Here is a 10 GB partition I just now created:
Finder says:
Disk Utility’s partition view (for the whole disk) says (!!!):
Selecting that partition in Disk Utility gives me:
Terminal (diskutil) gives me:
I liked the old Facebook login better

It’s like… Like if you asked a friend if there was a Starbucks in his neighborhood and he said, yeah I think there’s one half a mile down, maybe. And you drive half a mile and see a big carwash place, and you park and walk in and ask to speak to the manager. And you tell the carwash manager how unhappy you are with this terrible new Starbucks redesign.

Google Buzz
I would might use Google Buzz if all of these were true:
- I used Gmail’s web site.
- I used Google Reader’s web site.
- Anyone else I knew used either or both.
I use Apple Mail on both Mac and iPhone, so I don’t see Gmail’s built in chat or buzz pane or use Google contacts.
I do use Google Reader’s mobile site on iPhone, but not that often. NetNewsWire on Mac. Thus I can’t Share items to my Buzz page.
These are details, though. I could start using the websites. I think I’m pretty nimble when it comes to what web services and software I use. And eventually there could be integration with current desktop/iPhone applications or maybe standalone apps.
But I just don’t know anyone who has and uses Gmail or Google Reader regularly. Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr have the community. Google (among the people I know) doesn’t.
