We can say I had some time on my hands this week. So, I got to play with some things.
New things for the week
A recap of all the things I’ve been trying/using this week, in case you missed any of them.
FriendFeed. I think it’s handy. 1 stop shopping for all my stuff, plus you can comment on things there (if you are subscribed). They added a new feature this week called Rooms that looks promising. It’s like a message board, kinda. Slightly less obnoxious and slightly easier to follow.
Facebook. For reasons passing understanding I started playing with Facebook again this week. It helped pass the time.
Viddler. Still using it. Still the best video service I’ve used. Bonus is a few new features they have rolled out lately. Subscriptions and RSS feeds. Handy stuff to have.
IShowU and Skitch. IShowU captures your screen as a video, handy for the new project and it works quite nice. And it’s cheap. As for Skitch, I finally found a use for it and it’s been super handy. It’s so handy in fact that, when it comes out of Beta, I would gladly opt for a paid version if one is available. Within reason, of course.
Fluid. I tried this before when it first came out and I thought it had potential. At the time, it worked not well enough to use on a daily basis. It’s been revised, fixed, revised and fixed again and seems to be working quite well for GMail. I might use it for a few other things, but I’m not quite sure yet. I’ll keep you posted.
If you are looking for me on Facebook, Viddler or FriendFeed, follow the links in the sidebar. If you are trying to figure out why you can’t use Fluid on your PC, now would be a good time to think about making the switch.
Busy week coming up. I certainly hope it goes smoothly. That would be keen. Oh yea, if Josh says anything to you about eating BBQ Penguin, just nod and smile. He does get a bit delusional at times (remember the Snobo Monkey’s from ‘01?). It’s all that fancy scotch he’s been drinking with his mates.

They’re also good if you braise them in garlic butter. And I hear Paula Deen has a great recipe for baby penguin veal

Hmm… Fluid looks neat, I will definitely check that out. I’ve been toying with 1Password but wonder if it’s worth the cash, especially as I’m still stuck on Windoze some of the time.

Skitch is awesome. I use it at least once a day- even if to just narrate the pope: http://img.skitch.com/20080527-q15h47n69rgrxg8krjds548naj.png
I keep trying to get my head wrapped around friendfeed..might try it again in the future. Currently still trying to get myself into using evernote.
