iPhone 3.0

Is loading on to my phone as we speak I type this. I think this update will probably be the best so far...Lots of enhancements this time around

Cut, copy, and paste Finally
Landscape keyboard in major Apps
Better search capabilities
Shake to shuffle in iPod
Calendar improvements
Stereo Bluetooth support - Something I might eventually use.
Syncing notes - A biggie for me. Since I have CRS.
Voice memos will now become a native application - Another CRS improvement.

But wait there’s MORE! But these are the ones I give a crap about on this go round.

Just hope it doesn’t turn my phone into an electronic BRICK!

MacJournal and LiveJournal

So apparently Mac-Journal and livejournal and flickr do not play nice together...

Had a license for MacJournal for a number of years now. Stopped using it because I didn’t care much for the formatting constraints. But the changes they’ve made in release 5 have got me rethinking my strategy.

However I have discovered that these three don’t play well together. Or not very well at any rate.

Mac-Journal tends to see only partials of the standard link for photos from flickr. Pain in the ass it is.

But get this. If I paste the link into an entry and then convert it to plain text LJ displays the picture. If I convert the entry back into rich text, the entry displays the picture.

I figure it must be some arcane something or other that I’m missing. I’ll post a question or two in the Mariner Software forums and probably get some snarky answer that makes me feel like a total noob. Just waiting for an account approval from their forum.

But it now supports LJ, and Blogger on which I have multiple accounts...Not sure yet about Wordpress as I haven’t had a chance to test that yet. But from what I’ve read on the forums, it may be a far stretch as yet...
