Hopefully, there won't be any side-effects.

Not until other browsers start implementing it, it ever, Then it might get interesting.

That's what I'm afraid of...

I don't know what it's like on Windows, but in OS X, the Chrome Evernote web clipper is pretty damned slick. Opera's my main browser (obvs), but I've found myself switching over to Chrome just to clip a page efficiently. It's much better than the general JavaScript applet. It's been picking folders right for me, for instance. Plus better control of what parts of the page to clip. Yet again, I'm jealous about Opera.

I have to say--Tumblr has the most assholish support team I've encountered in a while. I get that not everyone that contacts them knows what they're talking about, but they really treated me like I was stupid, so it took 3 goes round before they would answer what I told them in the initial ticket, and their eventual answer was "switch browsers".

On another issue, I followed a set of steps outlined in a post that came across my dash, and I managed to block one of my accounts from the other, but there's no way in the settings I can find to remove that block. I asked them if they could, and they said, no, I was permanently banned from one of my tumblrs.

How badly designed does a piece of software have to be in order for that to be actually true? I can only imagine there's some reason they don't want to get into that business, but maybe they should think twice about letting users do something irrevocable without any warning anywhere.

(FTR, you can ban anonymous accounts. The post going around said that when you ban the anon that just sent you a message, you can find out who they really are by going into your block management screen. Whoops! Big hole, no? Well, you can't. They don't show up on that screen, so there's no way to remove them...in perpetuity. Also they wouldn't explain what banning that user and IP really means. If I "ban" the IP address of my laptop, does that affect my other accounts? That account itself? TELL ME. They won't.)

The Evernote Chrome plugin is awesome on Windows too. So much so that the complete inability to clip to Evernote in a useful way out of the box on Android really felt like a slap in the face after getting used to it.

I wonder if it's a limitation with browsers in Android, since I had so much difficulty trying to get my hands on HTML too. But Pocket and Springpad are doing something so why the fuck not Evernote? It has a pretty good ecosystem around it (still working my way through the trunk), so that omission--I never would have used it on the desktop if I hadn't discovered it on Android. I still kind of consider that my primary Evernote platform. But I can't do that, and I can't make copies of notes. V. frustrating!

I'm also not quite getting used to the Evernote upgrade on OS X. I should check my Windows box and see if it's still got the old interface.

It did as of this morning.

I was able to get the javascript clipper to work (kind of) with Firefox Mobile once. But it was too slow and clunky to be worth pursuing.

I don't see why there should be a browser limitation. As you said in an earlier post - the HTML is clearly reaching the android phone. I could imagine that the Evernote app might not be able to parse the code for offline clipping, but the web clippers send it to Evernote's servers to parse so far as I know.

ita, I just did some testing of the Evernote Add-On for Dolphin. I tried it about 6 months ago with mediocre results, but it seems to be working pretty decently on the websites I tried today. I am going to try using Dolphin for a while and see if it satisfies me (I normally use the stock browser).

I'll try that, Gris. If it's better than the loud sucking noise of zero, it's a step in the right direction.

What tools do people recommend for making animated GIFs from video on Windows or OS X?

I created a couple on OS X using MPEG Streamclip and GIMP--I did loudly abandon GIMP a few months ago, and I'm really happy with Elements, but animated GIFs are the first thing I've needed that is PS only (I do also need to work out if it can split images into colour channels). And GIMP has had a major important improvement--it's no longer X11, and that's a big deal for me in terms of keyboard control and stability. So it's not making me cry to do this, but I don't know if there's anything free or cheap that has more intrinsic animated GIF support than editing layer comments seems to imply?

I solved the weird clocking issue with the new audio interface at work! Woot!

(it has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING discussed in here, just.. it's technical, and was a headscratcher for all of us, and I found the solution, just PRIOR to calling tech support! And feeling accomplished.)

carry on. Nothing to see here.

Test data #1, tommy: When E and R become unshiftable (noticed both this time, no other letters), it's for both the right and the left shift keys. It happens so infrequently that swapping keyboards would be inconclusive (unless I could swap *right then* and that doesn't change the playing field too much), but next time I'll check the laptop keyboard too--I was just in a rush.
