April 23rd, 2011Not much to add to this. Interesting thoughts.
The promise that you can get paid really well to do precisely what your boss instructs you to do is now a dream, no longer a reality.

April 19th, 2011This is sad news about dropbox.
Although, thinking about it, they've had a feature for a while that makes uploads of common files (e.g. a music file that lots of people already have in their dropbox) almost instant. A few times I've noticed a file transfer up to the cloud without actually uploading. I'm pretty sure that's a good indicator it wasn't as encrypted and locked down as they make out.
The magic of sox
April 18th, 2011I've been trying to fiddle about with a 6 channel audio track, trying to get a movie soundtrack without the dialogue. The basic principle is that most of the dialogue is in the centre channel, so inverting left and adding that to right strips the dialogue, but keeps the music (and sound effects). I was using audacity, but the size of the files meant it brought my computer to its knees (because of hard drive access and a stupidly large paging file).
After some searching I found vox, which is a command line tool. It's pretty much like piping text from one tool to another, but with audio 😀 yummm!

The trees down our street had their branches cut back, and now leaves are growing out the stumps. Thats like chopping a man's arms off, and finding fingers growing out his shoulders!

April 15th, 2011John Gruber on the state of Apple’s syncing with iOS
Apple seems to be a generation ahead of its competitors on the device side — both hardware and software — but a generation behind on the cloud side
iBooks is a glimpse to how good syncing could be. It has to be good enough that you don’t even have to think about it.

April 14th, 2011
This is an obvious addition to Google Docs, but I don't like that there are only fixed width views. So much content will never end up on paper, so why isn't there a basic view, that fits to the width of the window I'm editing/viewing in? Like email and websites do?
