Swiffies for... Let's balance out every milkshake with a swiffie. Everyone else on the internet only complains. - So I [url=http://new.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,287,613#msg-297]bitched about AT&T DSL[/url] and it's only fair that I throw them a bone when deserved. In the process of transferring service to my roommate (fairly straightforward), I asked that a 411 charge be removed from my bill because we only have the landline to get DSL, and there's not even a phone hooked up. They credited my account without a question. btw, why do all these phone trees ask for your account number before they direct you, and then when you're talking to a person, they just ask for it again? I was transferred twice, and I had to give the number 4 times. http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,1171#msg-1171 Sun, 19 May 2013 07:26:55 -0400 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,41945#msg-41945 Re: Swiffies for... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,41945#msg-41945 Love it.]]> El Jeffe Spork Central Mon, 22 Apr 2013 17:25:53 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,41731#msg-41731 Re: Swiffies for... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,41731#msg-41731

The guests and the anchors (despite being repetitive, something they can't help at this point in the process) are neutral and probing without jumping to conclusions AND making specific comments about the difference between rumor and credible sources.

[EDIT] And of course after I posted, they switched to a shrill harpy of a west coast anchor who's clearly trying to amp up the coverage. At least the analysts/guests are staying level.]]> porruka Spork Central Mon, 15 Apr 2013 17:50:10 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,41540#msg-41540 Re: Swiffies for... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,41540#msg-41540

Hmmm...

There were a lot of comments about delays between the GOT episode airing in the US and when it becomes available on iTunes Australia. I'd signed up for the season pass when the first episode was already available. The 2nd episode wasn't available last night when the torrents started to go up - however for the first 6-12 hours after the latest GOT torrent goes up there's absolute gridlock because the ratio of seeders/leachers is way out of whack - the download was going to take half the night...

Wake up the following morning and iTunes pops up with a little "you have a new GOT episode, would you like to download?"

"You bet your happy arse I do" -- click -- and ten minutes later I'm watching Theon finally getting his just desserts...

So, all in all, almost as quick as torrenting and better quality. I think that's worthy of a swiffie.

I like Grappler. It has some warts, but it does what I want. Point it at a YouTube "Playlist" / Play All and it will suck them all down.
Well, unless there is some hiccup - but mostly it will.

This was part of the recent free Mac Update bundle. They just need a bit of tweaking, perhaps UI changes, and it will be nice.

I did a website for a friend of the family and with all of google's "paid sponsorship" shenanigans it took forever for the website to appear on the front page (even when typing in simple logical search terms that could only identify that very business).

Top of ducduckgo's list first time, no jumping through hoops.

Pixelmator is quite useful for many things but is occasionally frustrating with how it is limited with some basic things - for eg drawing an arrow or putting a gradient inside a shape. Artboard makes that simple and I like their concept of adding/customising styles to all objects.

I think the combination of Artboard and Pixelmator means I can ditch photoshop...]]> Tony Leggett Spork Central Sat, 03 Nov 2012 20:06:16 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,39588#msg-39588 Re: Swiffies for... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,39588#msg-39588 Tony Leggett Spork Central Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:47:40 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,39583#msg-39583 Re: Swiffies for... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,39583#msg-39583 YDD Spork Central Thu, 11 Oct 2012 15:02:13 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,39582#msg-39582 Re: Swiffies for... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,39582#msg-39582 John Willoughby Spork Central Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:17:45 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,39580#msg-39580 Re: Swiffies for... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,1171,39580#msg-39580
