Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."
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!
there are apps on the iphone and ipad that save to evernote - so I like that.
I share from Android apps to Evernote, so I'm good there.
I hadn't even thought about IFTT being integrated with Evernote originally--I was just thinking of sending stuff to the Evernote email address. But I'm looking at it now to see what channels could be useful--it seems to have generic email, so that's good--Gmail isn't my primary.
Google calendar and dropbox might also have potential. I might be doing some experimentation in my free time tomorrow.
I was looking at tools yesterday that log into your electronic billing accounts and retrieve PDF bills, but I don't feel confident about the security--no overt reason, but I'm coming over a bit Liese, you know?
I don't really like having a lot of apps have access to my email. I would rather put in filters to automatically forward or use a special email addy.
I don't really have a way to do server side email forwarding. I do have a couple clients always open, but it's not the most reliable. At this point, I'd magine IFTTT wouldn't fun off with my shit, but they could sure get hacked--they can store credentials encrypted, but they need to decrypt to actually log into your email...
I just found something new with evernote.
on a mac, use the program Hazel (which is something I use anyway to automate some file actions) and I designate a folder in Documents. Anytime I drop something into that folder, that file gets uploaded to Evernote.
OK, question--when synching my iphone, it shows how much space I'm using for audio, video, photos, apps...and "other". Other is suddenly taking up over 2 gigs--anyone know what other might be? I can't figure it out.
it can be a lot of things, but typically, if you have files in other apps, that's other. so I have podcasts in the downcast app, and I think those show up in other.
On my iPhone, I keep getting logged out of B.org. I have had to log in about 15 times in the past 2 days? Any thoughts?
Also, is it the google transit that does not work in the new OS? I use the maps feature to find buses all the time, so I don't want to upgrade unless that works
So we had this crappy WiFi router at work, and yesterday my boss bought a new Apple Airport Express base station. I disconnected the old WiFi router and installed the Airport Express, giving the WiFi network the same name and password as the old one.
This morning my MacBook Pro and my boss's MacBook Air did not automatically connect to the new Airport Express, but we connected manually just fine. But my iPad doesn't have internet access, despite connecting to the new Airport Express. I tried having it forget the WiFi network, then rebooted the iPad and logging back into the WiFi network. It connects, but I my apps still tell me I don't have internet access.
The iPad connects fine to my home network. Any ideas?

Could be pdf's from mail, or Goodreader. Any files you created in an office type app. Maps in a non-free GPS (Navigon or TomTom, for example). Game saves. Game data. I think ringtones?? Not positive on that one.

Proxy?
Static Gateway or DNS Server set on iPad?
Are you getting an IP Address from the Airports DHCP?
