Ping.fm: the good, the bad and the rant

(download)

I'm blessed with plenty of work these days and find myself writing
less and less as a result. But the thoughts they keep coming. Are they
good? I don't know. All I know is that they're flowing and it feels
like a waste not to capture them.

So please forgive my less-than-production-quality audio; I feel it's
more important to remain connected than to worry about the perfection
of the delivery.

This audio is somewhere around five mins and riffs on basic social
media experiences and thoughts about services like ping.fm (I'm not
"against" them).

This is in response to my conversation with Juan. He goes by @BuckPetro and he's a real
nice San Diego chap who's a bit newer to Twitter and deserves a few
new friends. I met him recently at the recent #sdIRL event at @RBSanD (Rock Bottom Restaurant &
Brewery).

He's got a nice short handle now thanks to @SugarJones.

The world doesn't need my sorrow… [a poem]

The world doesn't need my sorrow,
So I must process it fore the morrow,
To be alive with love again,
And live as if we're all one again.
I'll give and give and give,
And then give and give again.

Singing karaoke with the wife. You should probably click back on your
broswer fast!

Would you believe this was a baby shower at the Ruby Room? It was by
far the funnest baby shower ever!

Congrats Carly and Neil.

QUESTION: (re-carseat safety)

What is the proper material to use to buildup underneath one end of a
carseat base to adjust its angle to the manufacturer's specifications?

I need to add about 8 inches of height to one end of the carseat base
to make it sit at the appropriate angle. This is because of sloping
backseats.

I've heard both "use towels" and "use water noodles".

Does anyone know what's actually safest?

Thank you very much!

iPhone: Upload files to the web via iPhone?!

I think I may have figured out a way to make a workaround for
uploading files directly to the web from your iPhone.

This work around would function on top of the following technologies
which currently exist for iPhone:

1. Backgrounding ability via jailbroken iphone
2. A file system management iPhone app called iFile
3. WebDAV using iFile from above
4. JavaScript bookmarklets to rewrite HTML buttons in mobile safari

Now I'm not a programmer (god knows I'd love to be) but I think I
still may have come up with a possible work around to allow us
jailbroken rebels to upload files via our sinister cell phones.

Currently many applications on iPhone support WebDAV. I don't know
exactly what that means except that I can access iPhone files via a
web browser that's connected to my same wifi network. iFile is one of
these apps that has the ability to offer remote access to files; and
it offers direct access to the iphone's file system contents.

What's to stop someone from writing JavaScript bookmarklets to add to
Mobile Safari, that will rewrite HTML 'choose file' buttons to access
the path to the WebDAV server created by iFile (which would be active
and backgrounded)?

From there you could tap another bookmarklet that would change the
files into buttons that would direct the link back to the window with
the upload dialog; and fill the dialog box with the link to the file
on the iFile WebDAV server. Or perhaps a link could be copied and
pasted into a dialog box and the upload button pressed again (or a
newly created upload button).

I'm not surenif this makes sense to another reader or if current HTML
ornother limitations would prevent this from working in the way that I
imagine. I'm hoping that some programmers with knowledge of the
workings involved will catch windnof this and offer if it is possible.
So if you have an interest in enabling uploads from an iPhone or know
someone who might know more about this...please forward it on.

Thank you
