Tecnology on the road

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

Took a trip to the east coast. Up here in the gwn that’s nova scotia, p.e.i, or newfoundland/labradour. I decided that the only technology i was going to take with me was my ipod touch. My phone is an iPhone so i had to take that anyway. :)

It really turned out to be a toss up between my 13″ MacBook pro and my iPad. Given the amount of space we had to work with for carry on luggage i opted for the two smaller devices and my Nikon D5000.

I used my iPhone the most though.

I bought the “trip journal” app for it to document my vacation. You can send updates to Facebook along the way. I could connect with facebook exactly once with it, so it was a waste of $0.99. The Facebook app on the iphone turned out to be a better way of documenting the trip.

Google server +1

I guess I only had to wait a day or so for google to add another server just for me. Using google+ and liking it so far. Not sure using a clone of the Facebook interface is smart. Google could design a much better one.

Google runs out of servers

I think I got my google+ invite. I think. When clicking on the link I got the dreaded “exceeded capacity” message from google.

Google.

Really?

Google+ scams

So I decided to try for a google+ invite. Went to one site that said to post and ask for an invite and users on the site who have them will send you one. Seems to me I did this at the same website when I got my gmail invite. Couldn’t post. Page errored out. numerous times.

Some other page made you jump through hoops, ‘course they were just link bait. Thanks d-bags. I’ve already removed all the hoops. Feeping d-bags.
