Refund for NetShare

Posted Wed, 08/13/2008 - 7:00am by shrop

I feel like one of the lucky US iTunes users who was able to quickly purchase the application NetShare while it was available in iTunes for a few hours two weeks ago. NetShare allows you to surf the web on a wireless computer/laptop using your iPhone's Internet connection.

Views1 method to create a blog type category listing block

Posted Tue, 08/05/2008 - 7:19am by shrop

DrupliconEven though Views1 for Drupal 5 may not be as hip today, I have been wanting to share this bit of code to allow the creation of blog type category listing from taxonomy. I haven't tested if this works with views2 and kind of doubt it will since Views2 seems to be a complete rewrite.

The results of this View can be seen in the right sidebar of my wife's blog at http://lisa.shropshires.net.

ed to share the documentation to setup my development environment. Feel free to comment and let me know if you have any improvements.

Other thoughts about my 3G iPhone adventures since Friday:

  • Got in line around 6:40 am Friday for the 3G iPhone purchase. Walked out the door with a working 3G iPhone around 10:30am and a non activated 1st gen iPhone for my Wife. Wasn't able to activate her phone at home till around 4pm due to the iTunes activation issues. I then restored her iPhone to the official 2.0 firmware without restoring data so she had a fresh phone to start. She loves it BTW!

Mac OSX Subversion Client: Cornerstone

Cornerstone is a Mac OS X SVN client. I can tell you that this app is awesome!

The interface takes a number of UI cues from iTunes by using one window. The one window interface is much more efficient on a laptop. You do have the option in preferences to switch to a multi window mode.
