Notifications on the iPhone, or the lack there-of, and what I did about it…
Dear Apple: Are you serious? After 4 major versions of your mobile operating system I STILL can’t set different alert profiles for different email accounts?
In my case I want certain email accounts I have setup to provide different feedback. See, I get a lot of email, most of it is just informative messages coming from automated systems that don’t necessarily require a timely response while others are alerts that I want to be informed of immediately. This seems like such a trivial thing, yet has a huge impact on my workflow productivity.
When Apple first released the 3G I left my Blackberry Curve behind and joined the masses in coming to iPhone. After 8 months I asserted that the iPhone was not a productivity device and returned to Blackberry and the comfort of a physical keyboard and a multitude of configuration options where I happily remained until this week when my BES crashed and I had enough of fighting with it.
I considered going to an Android device, but recently FatBox has started building iPhone apps and while my iPod Touch and the simulator have done me well during this first development cycle it really behoves me to have an iPhone now that we’re getting REALLY close to releasing our first app into the App store (stay tuned for a release announcement that should happen in the next couple weeks!).
I digress. The point is here I am with my shiny new iPhone 4 facing the same problems I was facing back with my 3G. However, this time it’s a little different. This time I can do something about it, so I did…
Reblogged from (A better) Add and Remove Inline Objects from the Django Admin interface using jQuery
In my ongoing build out of the platform that will replace our current off the shelf customer and infrastructure management software I’ve been hacking on the Django Admin interface in terms of usability for our other employees who need a more intuitive user experience.
On the chopping block today was Inline objects and the ability to dynamically add and remove them.
Auto Smiley
You think you use too many smileys? Wonder what would happen if you sent a smiley every time you actually smiled?
Well, the guys over at Fat Lab (who, btw, have an amazing name, kindda like FatBox) have built Auto Smiley.
A FAT + openFrameworks speed project!
Auto Smiley is a computer vision application that runs in the background while you work. The software analyzes your face while you are working and if it detects you smiling it sends the the ascii smiley face letters as keyboard presses :) to the front most application. Auto Smiley has many uses from just straight up convenience to enforcing honesty in your online communication :)
