Terry and the porch
Category: property
(e:terry) and (e:enknot) finished the porch at the rental property. They replaced the wood and painted. It looks amazing. I think we can get our insurance back again now.

metalpeter - 07/24/11 10:17

tinypliny - 07/23/11 21:57
(e:terry) looks SO hollywood. It's the specs.. and the pose! Let's not forget the WOW influence!
tinypliny - 07/23/11 21:55

SwiftKey x, spell correction autopilot

I have a good idea to have a good idea to have a good idea to use the same time. The creator of the most important thing is to be a good idea to have a good idea to have a great way to get the best of the most popular and we will be able to find out more about the same time.

It sounds like it was made by American Jihadis.

How long have you had it? Do you think it has some learning component and might get better at predicting what *you* might type as it gathers more data?
paul - 07/23/11 12:01
Swiftx keyboard guesses the next work you are about to type, and and accepts it when you hit space? This was me just starting with a word and then hitting space a lot of times. It always goes back to these same phrases about America, the creator, the most popular and having a good idea. In fact every time I type America it adds ", Inc. " to the end.

haha, I can't decide if you are pulling my leg.
paul - 07/23/11 12:02
Ya I totally see it.
tinypliny - 07/22/11 20:48
High tech, High impact, High time to visit? WITH a specs on the banner and the word "site"immediately after the specs diagram? Doesn't that positively yell optometrists?
paul - 07/22/11 20:25
I think everyone from Buffalo does know. WE all learn about it as a kid.
metalpeter - 07/22/11 18:45
When I was Young Kid there they had a camp it was pretty cool... Can't remember much of the stuff other then Mansard roofs are flat and that back then you got taxed by how many floor you had so there was some kind of construction that hid a floor......
tinypliny - 07/22/11 18:21
I thought that was an ad for a optometrist! I seriously did. TR? Does everyone know what TR is?!

Mac OS 10.7
Category: computers
The installation was a breeze. I put $29 into the app store on my computer and my computer updated itself. No disk, no settings, nothing. That part was pretty good. Especially considering (e:matthew) and I were arguing at one point and the computer got shut, went to sleep and woke back up in the middle of the install.

The one thing I really don't like is the scrolling. The way it works now, dragging the trackpad down scrolls up and dragging the trackpad up scroll down, like on an iphone. It seems to break the convention of everything other computer system. Maybe I will get used to it.

I really don't like it as much as gnome 3. For example launchpad sucks compared to the gnome 3's dash.

Overall it really doesn't seem like much is different. I don't expect anyone to have trouble switching between from 10.6 to 10.7.
paul - 07/22/11 14:25
I heard they added support for the freezing of apps instead of quitting. Like the way it works on the iPhone.
enknot - 07/22/11 13:51
Yeah. I was less than impressed by the presentation. I can't say that I'll be bothering updating my os since it really only seems like a marketing add on. Oddly enough no code clean up and reorganization of important anything this time around. Weird Huh? I'm sure there's nice stuff under the hood, but I don't know what. Hmm.. maybe there's 3d support we don't know about yet....no, nope naw that's just silly.
