Twitterific

Paul Westbrook | 19 March, 2007 23:59

For someone who is not that excited about Twitter, I sure seem to be spending a lot of time on it.  Twitterific is an application that lets you post tweets from Mac OS X.

There are some pretty cool features in Twitterific:

  • audio notification when new tweets arive
  • Automatically shortens urls with tinyurl.com

I do wonder if it would be better to be a Dashboard Widget.  The UI is pretty similar to a widget.

Ideas for Twitter

Paul Westbrook | 19 March, 2007 23:25

I am still not sure that I will really use Twitter in the end.  The problem that I have is it is not really part of my daily routine.  I hardly have time to respond to emails, so spending time on something this trivial.

Automated systems are perfect candidates for using Twitter.  This post describes using Twitter for notifications from a home automation system. I think that this is a pefect use of Twitter.  Here are some other ideas:

  • Auto telematics systems to send notifications of car diagnostic status
  • Navigation systems, to send position information (Including urls on Google Maps)
  • Public transit systems to sent status notifications

Gallery 2.2

Paul Westbrook | 19 March, 2007 21:45

Gallery 2.2 has been released.  The upgrade from our 2.1.2 install went smoothly.  In addition to some security improvements, there are some interesting features:

  • Downloadable plugins, from within the admin interface.
  • Watermark changes - watermarks can be added to entire albums, instead of only applying to newly added images.
  • WebDAV module - you can mount your gallery as a file system
  • Photo auto-rotation based on EXIF data from camera
