Walt's Corner

My first post to here from my iPhone. I’m using iBlogger. I’ll try to also include a picture.

I’m welcoming myself to WordPress. Again. I’ve used it before, left it, and now I’m giving it another shot. Not sure if I’ll keep it. We’ll see. Going to see how it works with my iPhone software.

I’m sure working for Google has its perks, but one thing I can think of that would sway my choice of employment would be the G phone. Their new open source OS running on some other phone. Can you imagine the pressure? What kind of pressure would those employees be under to not use an iPhone if that’s what they liked? That would be like the whole iPod on the Microsoft campus fiasco. Amnesty bins and all.

I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t be able to switch to the G phone after experiencing the fluidity (touchscreen is not multi-touch) of the UI and tight synchronization of all my software and data that I have become accustomed to with my iPhone. That would be taking a giant leap backwards in technology and convenience just to have the “company” phone. I wouldn’t do it. I’d quit first. I feel sorry for anyone who would be in that predicament.

Today the local HOG Chapter cruised to Cloudcroft, New Mexico, then to Sunspot for a BBQ. When we got to Sunspot, they had no grills for our steaks. We ended up heading back to Cloudcroft and had our BBQ there. You can check out the pics of today here. Pictured above is our starting point.

I’m giving DoBot Todos (link will open your iTunes and view the application in the App Store) a shot. It’s a pretty nice Todo application, and it’s free! I was creating some To-Dos today when it seemed awkward when trying to assign a due day.

In the above picture, I am attempting to set a due date for a task within a root level task. The Root level task needs to be completed by the 20th of August. I know that much. But off the top of my head, I couldn’t tell you what the 20th of August is. This particular task of the overall task needs to be done by the Friday prior. What date would that be? No easy way to tell without pulling out a calendar with a month view.

Here is where my suggestion comes in. Maybe it’s not even possible, as I’m sure that Apple allows this app to tap into it’s date system for setting this particular due date. But here’s my suggestion: use the month view for this input. Below is the month view from the Calendar on iPhone.



If I were able to choose my due date this way, I could pick a due date that is relative to the actual due date of the overall task. I would know right off the bat that the Friday prior would be the 15th. Am I making sense?
