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.

I just figured how to set-up my work e-mail on my iPhone. Easy peasy. Too easy. I shouldn't have done that.

Ha! You have just attached an electronic leash to yourself! Mwhahahahahaha!

It isn't like I hadn't been checking work e-mail through the phone before - just in a more clunky fashion. Ah, well.
