What's Not Working This Week, Part I

Facebook Mobile is uploading my photos into nothingness. I email them off to the special address and away they go and then they're gone. Perhaps it's because it was a photo of Jean-Paul Sartre?

Firefox 3

Can I be bothered? What do you think?

In Response to a Recent Query

No I am not turning soft.

To wit, the iTunes interface mechanism for getting stuff onto one's iPhone is complete bullshit. Syncing everything every single time? Sync my ass, Steve Jobs!

It's enough to make me never buy anything from the iTunes store, which I wouldn't do anyway because it's too convenient and I don't believe in convenience.

Computers Helping Computers

Since its shaming in this forum (see June 14), InDesign CS3 has behaved at its best. That is to say, it has been adequate to helpful when it has not been completely clunky.

What is a spreadsheet?

I'm just asking, that's all.

Mail.app

Don't make me laugh.

Here's a Puzzle

On Friday, everything I touched in my InDesign CS3 file of John's new book — I mean everything — — and I mean touched as in simply clicked on — caused InD to crash. Excuse me, the term as of OSX is 'not repsond' as in 'InDesign CS3 (not responding).'

As with lovers so with software: not to respond is to crash.

Here's the puzzle: on Saturday — LITERALLY THE NEXT DAY — everything works. I'm back in CS3 with not a single nonresponse.

How did I do it? I will tell you: I used InDesign CS2 on Friday.

THAT'S PROGRESS!!!!!

What I Am Saving for a Special Special Day

All the problems I have with Adobe Illustrator CS3. Wear a seatbelt!

My Current Browser of Choice

Camino.

Verdict: it sucks, like Firefox and Safari before it.

Why have an about:config page if changing the settings does nothing?

Software Means Never Having to State the Obvious

Keynote is a presentation application. It is not a design application. You can't control the damn thing.

And why don't the guides on the master slides show up on the regular slides?! Idiots!

First of all

This template sucks.
