iPhone apps S/D

it works on the google maps web site

nah you just make the line change size too

also apple needs to open up the widgets space so i can get something besides stocks/weather in my notification screen

idgi, i get notifications from all sorts of third-party apps

Widgets

3) the icon doesnt show the date

ya that shit is custom theres no way for a third party to build an app that does that on their icon

Fantastical uses the badges hack to show the date – just turn it on in settings.

hah that's clever

Did that, found was getting tense towards the end of the month with all the big numbers

otm

must! clear! badge!

I still use Instapaper for long reads while Pocket has become my default for all mostly non text stuff to check out later (eg videos, photos, flash stuff, etc). Works pretty well for me

let's talk about pdf management. at this point i haven't started doing heavy pdf reading on my ipad, but at some point soon i'll want to be able to read some books and academic articles and stuff. right now i just shoved a few of them into ibooks, but that doesn't seem like a good long term solution. is dedicated pdf app + dropbox the way to go? or is there a better way? this is going to be a mess, isn't it?

for what it's worth, i don't think someone who's just going to read a few pdfs needs some sort of system, but i anticipate using this for open access books and academic articles mostly. at least that's what i know i'll use it for now. i'm not in academia but if the people who are and who do this kind of crazy pdf management stuff can shed any light on the situation it'd be appreciated.

as far as the app portion of the system goes i guess there's pdf expert, iannotate, good reader, other stuff? i'd like the best in class app, really.

one of the reasons that spotify's cool for music is because you no longer really have to manage a music library. and although shit like this exists -- http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/browzine/47955 -- i'm still going to have to manage a pdf library for a while it seems. some philosophy books from re.press, some stuff from open humanities press, journal articles from that open access journal, dissertations and shit people post to their personal sites.

one last thing: it seems to me like something involving dropbox or something like dropbox would be ideal because you don't want to just import a bunch of pdfs into an ios app a la ibooks and then have them stuck in there. how would you go about getting all that shit out? you'd probably have to sync with itunes or email everything out, which is just shitty. the goal is to make shit portable enough that whatever app i'm using at the time is interacting with the files but not holding onto them

anyone tried http://www.triage.cc/ ?

grubes loves it

ja that's where i saw it. he loves that terrible helvetica game hundreds though, so

for pdfs use goodreader

interface is a bit of a... smorgasbord, but it does everything p darn well ime

thanks slocki

half off. any of you use this?

I have a cheaper vnc which does the job but tbh is a bit shit, so that seems like a reasonable price

screens is pretty ok, they'll attempt to make you buy it on every platform though, iirc

huh. i don't even really have a need for it or anything right now, but if i had ten bucks to throw away now i might consider it

yo gchat ppl

http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/15/4318830/inside-hangouts-googles-big-fix-for-its-messaging-mess

i can send a message from this and it'll show up on someone's little gchat window in gmail

so now there's an "official" google "gchat client"

although it's not really that

try it out tho

it doesn't have "away"; am not gonna like it when this replaces the GMail one I think

I just got an iphone recently. Is there a easier way to transfer music than using iTunes? I can't seem to select individual songs or even albums, it insists on doing a complete artists discography when all I want is one record. Something that works in Windows 7 or OSX would be nice!

http://spotify.com

if it's shit you bought via itunes, you can just grab it directly from the itunes app on your device

iTunes lets you do individual songs or albums. Are you doing the auto-sync or manually managed? You can just drag songs or albums on to the iPhone if the latter

markers doesn't have an iPhone don't believe him

I've had only 12 songs on my iphkne ai

Shit.

I've had only 12 songs on my iPhone since I got it last September b/c I just can't bear dealing w/ iTunes.

Why the hell won't iphkne correct that typo? It clearly means iPhone.

It's clearly trying to humiliate you for talking shit.

Clearly.

Any recommendations for a long exposure (or bulb?) app?

Pocket vs Instapaper vs Readability, what do you use? (if any)

pocket for sync and iphone reading

readability on desktop to actually read long articles (does better job of formatting)

I use Safari reading list which has the killer feature of updating in the background

instapaper lol

hopefully the betaworks ppl will bring that to instapaper at some point thanks to ios 7

pocket for pretending im going to read things later

yeah, feedbin's been really speedy lately.

Have just found the Japanese keyboard's screenfuls of faces. Awes.
