Windows/Linux/Windows Mobile: It’s not the whole world-knowledge shebang, but Pocket Wikipedia drops 14 million and 24,000 images onto your PC or Windows Mobile device. The articles are hand-picked to cover the widest array of material you can fit into 175 MB, and the interface is condensed to offer quick searching and indexing on mobile devices.

I just started (again) using the TwitterTools plugin for WordPress to post individual tweets directly to my blog. Problem is, I wasn’t happy with the way the tweets were being displayed — raw and unstyled, and with no linkback to the status page on Twitter.

• Just heard Mel Brooks on NPR re: using “Puttin’ On The Ritz” in Young Frankenstein. Now using SuperDuper to clone my laptop. SYNCHRONICITY!! #

Customizable Typing Shortcut Utility Saves Time!

This’ll fix me up I hope? My current links are hand-coded.

Ridiculous. But it works.

• Studying the shit out of TextMate, training myself to do everything I can with the keyboard. Reading this book: http://tinyurl.com/64edob #

• Coughed up the Euros to register TextMate. I’m going to be a happy coder from now on, using this with Transmit. Still like Coda too, but… #
• Twittering from inside TextMate. Pretty cool that you can do that, and blog too! I’ve tried MarsEdit etc. but this might be better for me. #

• Ran up against a bad bug in the WP 2.5 plugin auto-updater. It deleted a plugin, then installed & activated another one I’d never heard of. #
• Comment on “Customizable Comment Listings v2.0″:

  For some mysterious reason the 2.5 plugin auto-updater deleted this plugin for me, then installed and activated a copy of “Hide or Cut Post Text” instead. I had to install CCL 2 by hand.

• Trying out Evernote, getting frustrated. Find does nothing on the Mac client. Web find doesn’t find the word Macworld in a photo of the mag. #
• Price Protectr – Get Your Money Back!

• The Leopard-compatible version of SuperDuper is FINALLY out. So happy. Time Machine alone wasn’t cutting it for me. http://tinyurl.com/6krpz #
• Voted for Barack Obama. (I moved here from Illinois y’know.) Hope he gets it, but either way this is a pretty exciting time in history, eh? #
