iPhoto of the day

Today the weather was really awful, and i was not really feeling inspired. Anyway, while I was waiting for my wife in the car I started taking photos of the car wet windshield, focusing on the water drops...until I made this one...do you see the little face there? How awesome is that?

iPhoto of the day

Was just sitting in the couch and messing with Instagram, when this caught my eye: carpet, couch and jeans. Pretty cool when together.

p.s: will try to post at least one photo everyday or so, and talk a bit about it (if you follow me on twitter, flickr or instagram, you know I post many photos, but don't talk much about them)

Mobilenotifier - another attempt at fixing iOS notifications

"One of these isn´t very good..."

After a search for iOS5 related stuff on twitter, i came across @peterhajas project mobilenotifier. Like GriP, Notified and Lockinfo, it aims at fixing iOS main problem right now, the awfull notification system. At peter´s website, we have access to an youtube video and a presentation in pdf where he details his project. I found the image above specially significative, but the whole presentation explains even better what´s wrong with iOS notifications.

There seems to be a beta available, but still not in deb format. However, there´s a beta repo coming, so it will be easy to install. Here´s a screenshot.




Very similar to GriP, and Notifiedapp´s notifiedGriP plugin. He also talks about a notification pane, so it´s much like notified´s and lockinfo´s.

What can i say, more is better, there´s not perfect solution right now, and this has the advantage of being open source. However, i hope all this solutions get better quickly, because i have a feeling they don´t have much more time to be relevant - i have a feeling iOS 5 will be all about notifications.

p.s: lockinfo 3.0 is also looking wicked
