In your prayers, thank god for this, pray for this person, or that thing, or some whatever. Someone in an accident and didn’t actually die? Well, good goshins, let’s thank omnipotent and omniscient Invisible Sky Daddy for that…though don’t you think that if your deity had any compassion (or even existed), there wouldn’t have been […]
So I basically rule today. First, I fixed my Hello Kitty phone theme so that I didn’t have to separately select the main theme as well as the SMS theme; they’re now all in one, and I changed the images for lockscreen and SMS (might redo the SMS to move HK up just a bit, […]
After updating to Karmic, I hadn’t got around to doing things like making my storage partitions mount on boot, or setting up GIMP so I can use the Wacom stylus with pressure sensitivity, but don’t have to use the crappy mouse (reserving the option to use said crappy mouse if I so choose). Nothing serious, […]
I never got the hang of Categories, and it pissed me off because setting it up was an unstable, crash-y process, but in spite of its stupid name (Pogo Plank? Seriously?), I really like this replacement for Springboard (hence…Pogo Plank). It needs more themes, but it’s a first release, so I think they’ll come in […]
Einstein, Newton and Pascal decide to play hide and seek. Einstein is it, closes his eyes, counts to ten, then opens them. Pascal is nowhere to be seen. Newton is sitting right in front of Einstein, with a piece of chalk in his hand. He’s sitting in a box drawn on the ground, a metre […]
I no longer have to guess how many characters are in my SMS messages! I found SMS Helper (think that’s what it’s called) in Cydia yesterday, and it counts the characters as I type, so I can tell whether something I’m sending is going to count as one message, or more. Not such a big […]
Why is there no way to be selective in the email updates received from Facebook? When I’ve commented on someone’s status or photo or whatever, I may want to see others’ comments that follow mine, or I may not. If it’s someone with cool friends who say interesting or funny stuff, then yes, email me. […]
Since the 3.0 update, SMS themes (all but one, I think) don’t work anymore. I had always alternated between two of them; Hello Kitty when I was in a pink mood, and Bird SMS when I was in a more red-and-blue kind of mood. If anyone’s going to update themes to work with 3.0, they’ve […]
You have got to be kidding me. “…but I am yet to try it…” Oh, are you? I’m so very pleased to make your acquaintance, Yet To Try It. A most interesting name…you’re not from this area, are you? I’ve heard a lot of eggcorns and malapropisms (hell, we had the ruling Monarch of Malapropisms […]
I don’t get it. First, I have Screenlets running under Python because they look cool and I can see the displays from across the room. Then, when top tells me that Python is hogging CPU to the tune of thirty-plus percent when I have nothing else running except for Gnome itself (I even shut down […]
