Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Hmm, that sounds interesting.
I'm cranky at Astrid right now because I suspect it has larger than appropriate data for its sync processes. Anyway, something does, cause I hit overages for both dongle and phone this month. Thank goodness its no longer punitive charges.
I've been fiddling with Fences, ita.
I installed it on my replacement computer at work, and so it's been organised from the get go. Putting it on the mess that is my home PC is enlightening, because it's always clarifying to see what has no home--boom! Out you go! I thought I was good about deleting and uninstalling, but shit, stuff had really piled up.
I don't really see any reason to get the paid version. I don't need to do anything fancy.
I didn't see any reason for more than the free version. I'm mainly using it to put applications into related groups and sticking things in one place.
Finally got around to trying Swype, and I'm impressed.
I have decided I hate slide-typing, but will probably keep using Swype as a tapping keyboard. It has the best sized buttons and best auto-correct of any keyboard I've found.
I tried that other one you recommended, ita !, the one that learns from your gmail, but it keeps giving me ridiculous predictions, often in Spanish, despite a total lack of having Spanish installed. And I don't like that it only shows 3 predictions, and if I accidentally autocorrect I can't go back to the word and see the original typing as an option, like I can with Swype.

It's the shit!
This juxtaposition has the unfortunate effect of making me think Swype = toilet paper
Two ply, baby! Necessary, but nothing but the best!

I only used it for half a day, so I can't talk about any of the intricacies. I didn't give it any text to learn from, but it didn't give me any Spanish, and I also didn't choose any autocorrects by mistake.
