The November PlanSometimes you just have to keep a tradition going, even if it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. How to Price Your iPhone App out of Existence [del.icio.us]Nice analysis of the current iPhone application pricing situation. Summary: not good for the long term. Latest Gromit misses out on Oscar [del.icio.us]Yay! A new Wallace and Gromit short to show at Christmas! AutumnThis weeks PhotoFriday theme is "Autumn." Here is my entry. Burn-W [del.icio.us]Pixar short that runs in parallel with part of Wall-E (which will soon be out on DVD!). Beautifully done. As always. Royal Society of Chemistry defines perfect Yorkshire pud [del.icio.us]The science behind the cooking... Advertising your iAppMy iPhone application, Yummy, has been on sale in iTunes for a couple of months now and, as a number of other developers have noted, after the initial launch sales figures take a significant nose dive very quickly. I’ve been trying to think of ways to increase visibility without taking too much time away from read more.. OS X Snow Leopard vs. Windows 7 [del.icio.us]Everything you wanted to know about the next version of OS X and Windows but were too afraid to ask... Questions for Anyone Who Voted for Proposition 8 [del.icio.us]Prop 8 was California's ballot asking whether the state constitution should define marriage as between a man and a woman. Religious groups (mainly) raised enough money and support to pass it. SharpThis weeks PhotoFriday theme is "Sharp." Here is my entry. Smith ID comments 'beggar belief' [del.icio.us]I did wonder myself when Smith said that people couldn't wait to get their own ID card. What do they think they're going to do with them? Also regarding the cost: "It is already accepted there are associated costs when people apply for identity documents including driving licenses and passports such as the Post Office's check and send service or costs for photographs." Yes, but those documents give the holder some kind of benefit. Blears attacks political bloggers [del.icio.us]Is it any wonder that "people [have] disdain for the political system and politicians" when, as Blears says herself, most MPs are 'career' politicians with little experience of the world that their constituents inhabit. Also (sorry, it's only a short rant) does it not point to a failure in the system when so many people can be aganist ID cards, 42+ day detention, etc, yet the governing party repeatedly tries to push through laws for the same? Brits accolade for Pet Shop Boys [del.icio.us]This kind of award normally indicates the end of a career. Hope that's not the case this time! GardenThis weeks PhotoFriday theme is "Garden." Here is my entry. E-mail error ends up on road sign [del.icio.us]Never use a translation that you don't understand! A third dimension: Ars reviews Photoshop CS4 Extended [del.icio.us]"With the tabbed interface, Adobe has clearly reached for the lowest hanging fruit, and it's rotten in every way." The new version of Photoshop is faster and with some neat new features but takes a step back on the Mac UI-wise. But I'll be sticking with PS Elements until I win the lottery... Saw WThe new movie that merges the best of the Saw series of horror movies and George W Bush, not showing at your local multiplex. Oct. 29, 1675: Leibniz Sums It All Up [del.icio.us]Much of this was discussed in the BBC's recent "Story of Maths" series (well worth seeing). It's fascinating how critical getting the right notation is. Having said that, even the 'right' notation was too hard for me when it came to multiple integration! Sarah Palin; ‘I’m voting Obama’ [del.icio.us]"Sarah Palin represents the latest in a series of high profile Republicans who have come out for the Democratic candidate. John McCain refused to accept that having his running mate vote for his opponent represented any sort of a set-back and claimed that many people would be switching their allegiance back and forth over the next week or so." Peter's Evil Overlord List [del.icio.us]"If an advisor says to me 'My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?', I will reply "This." and kill the advisor." Bond films would be much shorter and less fun if the bad guys had read this list... UK confirms e-voting death [del.icio.us]Voting machines are a great way to steal an election. Looks like British politicians will need to find a new angle. I love…This weeks PhotoFriday theme is "I love..." Here is my entry. Freeze FrameThis weeks PhotoFriday is "Freeze Frame." Here is my entry. Cycling Germany: Pirna to MeissenIn my last day of cycling I leave Pirna and head towards Meißen, stopping off for lunch in Dresden. Cycling from Czech Republic to Germany: Decin to PirnaToday I cycle across the border from the Czech Republic into Germany.
