There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. – Shakespear's Hamlet
Greetings and bienvenue internets!
I have been inlisted by the lord of the darkscribes ( he has other web sites but who cares about porn ). Now for some time i have suggested that LD read ” the DarkKnight Returns ” due to his batman fanboy nature. He doesnt seem to be interested! Now seeing as thats tant amount to scarlige in the comic book fan world lets all get together and try to help him out by suggesting ( pestering ) him into it. It is for his own good really.

I’m actually going to go and put the Amazon associates site to good use I think. I’ve got the account, just need a store for it. We’ll see what I can develop and what I can offer you kind folk.
I’m also trying to get a status update to go through to myspace along with all the others.
I’ve spent the last few hours trying to figure out some things relating to my blog here and my accounts with facebook, myspace, twitter, all of that. fact is though, it seems everyone has pages upon pages of social networking sites. If you only needed one that be nice. But each site grants different things. And the bitch of it is that you really should try to link most of them together as you can. Hence why I’m having such a headache. I found stuff to help with all of it but it’s difficult for someone like me that’s completely dead to the world on some things.
But the real thing to think of that I’m getting to is this. Do we really need to spread what we post from here to every corner of the net? Does everyone need to know everything at every moment? Are we so in need of knowing that someone is listening that we have to continuously post place after place after place?
Just some questions for you to consider.
Well, Apple has decided that they shall put out a tablet PC that they think will work. Obviously the Mac crazies will go for it, those wanting in on the next trendy piece of kit will go for it. Then you have people like me who will wait, and wait, and wait until we’re sure it will do what we need. Frankly after taking some time to play with the iPod touch i can see how apple may think scaling it up and switching the OS to something closer to their main computer systems might fly. Frankly i don’t mind the design, or the applicable form factor. I’m not sure I’d use it for real work though. I still dislike software keyboards, though to be fair I never used a software keyboard on a device bigger then 3 inches for the screen.
The iPad vs the iPod Touch
As you can see from the image here the device is rather comfortable for those of us who have issues with the smaller devices. One of the things that stop me from enjoying the iPod touch when I see it and play with it is that I can’t read the text in safari. It’s just too small. However, with a screen this size on the iPad I might actually be able to enjoy the net on a tablet. Now, we shouldn’t forget that the iPad is just the latest, and quiet possibly most effective, attempt at a tablet device. Several companies tried back a few years ago. Lenovo has some thinkpads that can do this. HP has a notebook as well that at 12 inches is rather interesting to consider. My personal dislike of paying for Apple lock in would drive me to the HP offering first obviously.
Hopefully when it does become available to the general public we’ll be able to get a better bead on where things will progress. Obviously Amazon’s Kindle, Sony’s eReader, and other such devices are going to be the ones that are really in for a problem due to their form factors. It’s not an e-ink screen, but it’s a nice look and as all you have to do is install Amazon’s Kindle software for mac to use their ebooks, well that’s up in the air.
I’ll take a wait and see, and then maybe something will push me to get one, but not for the time being.
Last night was the last night for Conan O’Brien on The Tonight Show. He’s now off the air and stuck until September. I’m hoping he lands on his feet and can get a new deal with a new company at some point. frankly I think he got screwed out of everything in this debacle. Leno already had his shot at that time, and NBC should NOT have tried to accommodate him.
We’re supporting Conan O’Brien over Leno here on DD. Frankly I don’t know how it will end but you got to hope things turn out well for everyone.
And it’s open season on Jay Leno from everyone else.
Well, I’ve spent some time actually putting some stuff on Facebook and some interconnections here on Dhampirdreams.com. It’s been very interesting and intriguing to find ways to make everything I use connect to eachother. I’ve got the blog here setup so I can post links from posts here to facebook, a link here that takes a digest of my daily twitter posts to post it all here. it’s all very interesting as you look at the possibilities. The thing that really made me want to avoid using twitter or Facebook at either time was that I didn’t know how I was going to keep adding information to everything while not forgetting I had an account somewhere.
It’s great when someone takes these problems and provides a solution for them. Right now I’ve got it all as I want for the most part. We’ll see what goes from there. If someone could explain hashtags from twitter to me though I would appreciate that.
