A collection of Mac tidbits
Yesterday was a good day if you're a Mac user. Here are three nice things I came across while catching up on RSS feeds last night:
- Flickr has released a new Universal Binary of the Flickr Uploadr tool for the Mac (can I buy a vowel please?). According the the download page, "this release has options to set your uploaded images based on content filters and also has some changes that make Uploadr start up faster than before."
- A new beta of Twitterific, a Mac OS-only client for the micro-blogging service was released… yes, you guessed it… on the developer's Twitter page. Some very interesting new features in this release. If you're twittering on a Mac, it's well worth a look. If not… well…
- Maybe you use a Symbian-powered phone with your Mac and want to make the most of the combination. Having just received the latest and greatest from the Nokia Blogger Relations program – the amazing Nokia N95 – I was delighted to find a blog dedicated to this combination. It's called Mac.sis. I'll be posting a look at the N95 shortly. Paired with the Nokia N800 internet tablet and a wireless Bluetooth keyboard, we're talking about an entirely new definition of ultra portable computing.
And, as a bonus for GTD fans on all platforms, check out the extensive guide to using Google Notebook as a GTD actions and project collection tool posted on the LifeHacker blog yesterday. It's a well-conceived approach for those of you who are a) comfortable (or at least resigned) to the fact that Google knows everything about your life anyway and b) have the kind of connectivity and workstyle that lets you work on the net at all times
