iPhone apps I would love to see
There are a few apps right off the top of my head I’d love to see available for iphone…
1) OpenSSH. I admin enough remote servers that if I had SSH of some form it would greatly increase the iPhone’s long-term utility
2) Some sort of Multichat aggregator client. Yahoo, MSN Messenger, AIM, etc..
3) xchat. It’s the only irc client I want 🙂
4) A 24 hour, daylight display world clock. The kind that costs 6000$ for an on-the-wall kind.
5) Thunderbird. It’s more forgiving.
6) Firefox. It remembers my fields.
That’s a good list for now.
We are Locutus of iPhone. You will be assimilated…
Well, I did it. I took the iPhone plunge. So far, I like it. I’m still having some difficulties setting up my various and diverse IMAP logins for email, but I’m pretty confident that iphone has a rigid compliance spec while t-bird is a little looser. Hey, t-bird can afford mroe lines of code than iPhone can… “if mail_admin=$LOONY then accept_anyways…”
Really, I like the phone. I Really, REALLY like the browser. I’ve got webmail as a backup, and I can use it, so that is cool.
Phone sounds great, but I need a new antennae solution for the car… I have 3 major dead zones that an antennae helps for 2 of. Or Cingular/ATT can drop a couple more towers in place 🙂
There is a learning curve, but it makes logical sense, so the curve is shallow and short.
That’s all for now…
Speaking for those who cannot… Stop Wolf Hunts
I just saw something very disturbing on TV… Wolves aren’t going to be delisted in Montana and Wyoming… they are going to be hunted by any and all means… without so much as a by-your-leave to the endangered species act. Not only a travesty that man continues to play God with a species, but that they also will violate their own laws and protections to slaughter them wholesale.
If you are one of the few fans here, you know how I feel about this issue. If you’re passing by, I beg you to search your heart and ask yourself what great evil these animals have done to warrant eradication?
If your answer is the same as mine, you can go to Callofftheguns.com or NRDC-ActNow and send a petition to the man who can change it. This, now, is your call to action.
Thank you.
We’re all okay here, situation normal…
Just thought I’d toss an awesome photo up to see if I am right or not about something else entirely….
Now, please, google… index away. Thanks in advance.
Heck, I’ll even add one more way to see if it works too…
What an incredible day…
First, I get to work to find out that a couple of the pictures I had left with Dad got submitted to the local paper ended up being one of the two published to cover the Ultimate Five Run in Dyersburg, TN, which was a run benefiting Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society in conjunction with the Boss Hoss Annual Rally got published on page 10 of the local paper in monday’s State Gazette with another photo by my dearly beloved. Wow. I’m now a published (if uncredited, silly paper…) photographer.
Then I’m going through my emails, and Randy Burns, a local artist in Dyersburg whom I met, for the second time, over the past weekend at a book sale in the Dyersburg public library, had left me a wonderful comment on my Terrawolf site. Now I know this may not seem like much on the surface, but if you take a few minutes to browse over to his site, you’ll see the incredible work he does. The checkout desk of the Dyersburg Library has several of his pieces behind the counter on their walls, including one on loan from my Dad, and I cannot tell you how much I wish I had a gift for raw creation like that. I may be good behind a camera, but cameras record… a painter creates. So having a complement from a talented creator like him just made my day 🙂 And he’s a spot-on nice guy, too.
I’ll have to find myself the pdf of the race article a bit later so I can repost myself :=) And I’m behiond on a few emails, so it may be a day or so before I get back here… be well, my adoring fans :=) All 3 of you 🙂

I love my new camera… but it sure takes a little getting used to 🙂
Sleep beckons…
Man, this 40D sure feels nice!
Right now, going through the gyrations of installing software updates and registering the camera… can’t wait to…well.. use it 🙂 Short note… so best regards to all 2 of you who read my blog! 🙂
Oh boy… scheduling run amok…
Where to begin?
Nah, where to end: Jan 1.
There, now that that’s settled. Seems I need to be in 4-5 different places on Thanksgiving. Possibly. We’re not sure yet. Of course, once the idea is set, new information changes it.. so who knows. I’ll certainly be offering thanks when it’s in my rear view mirror…
Today is new camera day, if all goes well. I’ll be swinging by on my way into work (after jiffy lube, chiropractor, and packing) to pick up a new Canon 40D (not to be confused with a Nikon D40… I wonder how long calling it a 40D got debated… ) Hopefully my wonderful good luck will hold, God willing, and I’ll continue to be in the right place at the right time for some cool shots 🙂
In the meantime, still breathing, and currently contemplating various measures and breadths of site redesign in creative places. Amazing what resources one can play with.
Best to all,
Mark
PS.. maybe one of these days I’ll remember to tag the post befroe clicking PUBLISH! haha.
Nice weather… too bad I have to sleep through it!
By the temps outside ride right now, it’s gonna shape up to be a really, really nice day. I’m starting to get that itch again… Now, if I just knew the box dimensions on a 40D, maybe I could ride in today…. have to look that up… Hmmm :=) There -is- an advantage to Jesse bags :=) Of course, there’s also a nice advantage with that huge bestrest backplate I strapped the pelican cases onto… Lash ‘er down! Yarr!
Whelp, one of the advantages of having a cable modem, is that I have a cable connection… time to enjoy it for a bit.
