First Adium / Twitter integration thoughts in 1.4 beta 1
May 19th
It’s quite funny to see that, as I finally got some time to finish my first post on Twitter OS X desktop clients yesterday, a new one appeared the same day in the shape of Twitter support in Adium 1.4 beta 1. Well, to be fair, there already was support for Twitter in Adium but it wasn’t as widely available as a public beta. Here are some thoughts about Adium as a Twitter desktop client for OS X that I gathered as I used Adium exclusively for Twitter access yesterday.
First impressionFirst, there are some details on how this would work More >
OS X desktop Twitter clients: Twitterrific and beyond!
May 18th
I’ve had a Twitter account at the beginning of 2007 but it took me a while to really start using it. For one thing, I admit that I failed to see its potential then. Of course, it didn’t help that I didn’t know anyone with a Twitter account, thus not helping building interest… Any social application has to reach a critical mass, via positive feedback, where each new subscriber makes the whole network more valuable. I eventually got around to use it more intensively, as I started discovering usefulness to it and building a network. I do think though that the biggest More >
Tension
Apr 3rd
The weather is starting to warm up and it’s enticing me to take my bike for a ride. At the same time, each time I go out, I can see the surrounding mountains still very white (and I know that it has snowed a bit higher up) and it makes me want to grab my board and go ride some freshly covered canyon. Tension between wanting more winter and spring now!
My rogue finally made it to 80!
Mar 27th
As I am waiting for my system updates to complete on my recently re-installed OS X, I figured I’d post something here while I wait…
I recently managed to reach level 80 with my rogue on World of Warcraft. It’s been quite fun running quests and accumulating experience again. It’s also very weird to find myself in a patchwork of different quality items (greens, *gasp*!), which I will now work on upgrading.
I haven’t had the opportunity to run many instances, what with a busy work schedule and the fact that I’m still playing on my old US-based server and I More >
Moutain biking diary: Néron tour attempt
Mar 15th
The weather was pretty good today, not as good as yesterday but still nice. I decided to take my bike out and attempt an itinerary that I’d never tried before: a tour of the Néron mountain. The Néron is a mountain just north-west of Grenoble at the south tip of the Chartreuse massif:
Not long after moving to Grenoble, I bought a mountain bike itinerary book and I thought I’d follow their indications for this trip. Everything started rather well at my rather slow pace with a nice weather. Of course, it started getting colder as I climbed and ended More >
