Okay the MacBook Pro has to go in to have its keyboard replaced. Even though I bought AppleCare coverage for the computer, I'll have to pay for the repair, because I caused the problem. It'll take between 5 and 10 days and cost between $300 and $600. In the meantime, my iPhone is configured to sync with the computer that's got the broken keyboard. Does that mean I won't be able to put any podcasts on the iPhone? How about backing up the data I enter into the phone? Or will it all be wiped out when I connect it to another computer?</p> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 20:26:15 GMT http://www.scripting.com/stories/2007/07/10/coffeeOnMcbookKeybord.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2007/07/10/todaysLinks.html <p><a href="http://www.rexblog.com/2007/07/09/17027/">Rex Hammock</a> on serious applications of TwitterGrams.</p> <p><a href="http://www.itgarage.com/node/813">Doc Searls</a>: "Where are you going to go for live information when a life-threatening wildfire bears down on your town?"</p> http://www.scripting.com/stories/2007/07/10/mobileStories.html <p><img src="http://images.scripting.com/archiveScriptingCom/2007/07/10/donquixote.gif" width="65" height="85" border="0" align="right" hspace="15" vspace="5" alt="A picture named donquixote.gif">Having an iPhone and the modest successes of the Times and BBC rivers has got me thinking about how to make the iPhone a truly great text reader. It's within grasp I think, and I also think that Scripting News is going to transition to being a mobile entity more than a desktop or laptop one. Both from the writing and the reading side. All the more <a href="http://www.scripting.com/stories/2007/07/09/scobleRubel.html">reason</a> why I need the OPML Editor (an instance of the Frontier scripting environment) running in mobile form. I may end up buying an ultralite Windows notebook to sub for the machine I <i>really</i> want (an iPhone with the OPML Editor running on it) to carry with me. Nah probably not. Arrgh. I wish I could put Mac software on this thing. You know that would put Windows to rest for some people, permanently. That Apple thinks Safari is the dev platform for anyone shows a bit of Don Quixote still lives in the heart of Uncle Steve. Why not go the easy way? </p> <p>The focus now is the <a href="http://www.scripting.com/stories/2007/07/10/mobileStories.html">story</a>. I know how to do the index page, it's a river. But what about the things the index page links to? What should they look like? That's what I'm playing with right now.</p> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 16:30:44 GMT http://www.scripting.com/stories/2007/07/10/mobileStories.html
