Anyone else using a service they're happy with?
I set up Tiny Tiny RSS on my server the other day and have been really liking it. It seems to have all the functionality I used on google reader. Like other replacements, you can import your gReader feeds. There's even a way to import which posts are starred/shared. The best part is that it's open source and lives on your own server, so you'll never have to worry about a service shutting down. The only downside is that you need your own server space (though you could use freebie space like what Amazon Web Services offers), and it requires a bit of setup time and tech know-how. Lifehacker had a good primer: [link]
I have my Mac, I thought, set up for Day/Month/Year. Everything in Language & Text/Formats reflects this. But when I enter birthdays in the Address Book, it's interpreting it as M/D. Anyone know how to make the format universal? It's not like there's anywhere in Address Book to set it.
I recently got an iPad and I'm thinking it would be cool to get a remote desktop app for it so that I'd rarely need to bring my laptop when I traveled -- I could just connect to my home desktop remotely instead. There are lots of apps out there, and lots of websites recommending various ones. But I trust you folks. Anyone have favorites? I like the look of Jump.
Jump has a free desktop-to-desktop remote software which I just tried and it works really well! Now I just need to decide if I want to cough up $15 for the iPad app.
I use logmein, but let me know if you like Jump
The pro version of Logmein is subscription based, but it looks like Jump provides many of those pro features for free (or $15).
I use Remoter VNC, it's been good for me.
So i downloaded Jump based on Jon's prompt and a need to not be carrying my laptop everywhere. I have tons of pdfs that I keep on my computer but not on my iPad. For that reason, my iPad has been mostly for watching media, but I'm thinking this might help me make my iPad more work friendly.
Jon,
so I bought Ignition for iphone/ipad ($40) I think, and that allows me to have a lot of the pro features, but not pay a subscription. This was a awhile ago, so that pricing stuff may have changed.
this is written by a non-native English speaker, yes?
Be fast and efficient, these are two essential qualifiers in business, especially in an environment that is constantly changing.
The introduction of version 1.50 of Beesy contributes to this speed and efficiency. Beesy can import Excel files on iPad in order to expose its data during meetings via VGA, or even analyze at any time the data are communicated to monitor the progress of ongoing projects. This then allows to establish a logic strategy according to these analyzes, thanks to the reporting of actions, projects, teams … This is a centralized logic.
