Trello →

So I started testing trello.  I was using microsoft one note to manage my lists because it suck less than the other options. So now almost all of them are in trello. Downside is that I can’t use it from my windows phone yet. 

Now I can use the one note for taking notes, and for that it is really good.

Imovlr is my “company wannabe”, where I put some software that I pretend to be a product. The link of my trello lists for imovlr is here.

Nokia Lumia 710

So today I went to local store ( mediamarkt in Almere - NL) and saw a Nokia Lumia 710. Before that  I had an impression of it being the ugly duck. Everybody talks about the Lumia 800 and the 710 is just the bugdet option. 

The point is that it is way better than I thought. Really. Being almost 230 bucks cheaper than the Lumia 800 and free on contract it is really a good option.  If you are a developer and just want a phone to development this is your best option. 

First the hardware buttons looks way better live than in the photos. They are not a degree out of the phone but a nice designed buttons.  Also the build is very solid and have the same good feeling when touching that the 800.  

The screen is not the same but is better than my HTC trophy and the other options available at the time ( some HTCs, a old model LG ), except by of course the Lumia 800.

And the last comment, I was with my wife and the pink/white version just drove her crazy. In a sea of black, white and gray devices the nokias coloured ones look very cool.

Minimal: Occupy Tumblr →

I have to say that I will do the same.

mnmal:

Here’s the idea as described by my friend Patrick Rhone from Minimal Mac:

What if, 1% of the users of a particular free service of 36 million clients and growing, were to decide to drop $10.00 cash every month into an envelope and mail it to said service? What if that envelope had no return…

Windows 8 for ARM will be metro only →

I really not sure about it.  The dock mode is something that I wish, and when in dock mode I want a full desktop. 

Makes more sense that a tablet only ( read not “dockable” ) will not have the full desktop, no matter if is arm or x86. And of course if is dockable, it will have the desktop.

Getting rid of annoying padding left on chrome/safari →

I was fighting against a html/css layout when I managed to find that it renders automatically with the style -webkit-padding-start:40px. After a fast search on internet I found this link that explain what is going on. It is the “default” css of browser, that in my opinion is just wrong in many levels.

Just watch, I have no words to describe that.

This has nothing to do with Macs but in so many, many, ways, everything to do with what we believe in.

New Nokias phones →

It is probably the best windows phone around but it is not the “first windows phone” as Elop said. HTC has great phones before and their new generation is pretty good. Nokia music didn’t impress me and for now it saves itself by the hardware and the maps/navigation. 

The prices are really good and the 700 model at only 270 bucks is really attractive. Makes a lot of sense to release the 700 model in India, Brazil and China asap.

For HTC, given that Samsung and Motorola are the Google favorites and Nokia is the Microsoft one, they really should work hard to keep moving on. 

And about the last of windows phone original partners, LG. I think they will stop or sell the mobile unit to someone in 2012.

OS X lion server with no gcc, make, toolchain →

Just add the directory to path. Seems that someone forgot to check that before the release.
