Laziness

One thing that really irks me is laziness and a lack of consideration for others.

I was at the BridgePoint shopping centre today, and someone was kind enough to place a shopping trolley against the pillar next to my car, meaning I couldn't get out. Obviously, it was easy for me to move it (and my trolley) to the trolley bay located about 20 metres away. What got to me was that the shopper had failed to do that in the first place! If you've just spent the past hour doing the shopping, surely moving the trolley back to the bay (all of 30 seconds) isn't such a big ask?!

Bloody [North Shore] suburbanites…

Connoisseur 1.1 released

Last week, we released Connoisseur 1.1.

Among the notable features/enhancements/bugfixes:

  • It's much, MUCH faster!
  • You can now scale recipes
  • (Something I'm proud of) A MacOS X service that allows you to select text in a web page (or other app) and import that into Connoisseur as a recipe
  • Entering recipes should also be a lot easier

For an exhaustive list of changes (and I do mean exhaustive… it's huge!), look here.

Asides changes

I've been thinking about playing around with del.icio.us for a while now, as the idea of having all of my bookmarks categorised (tagged) and online is quite compelling.

Along with that, I've decided to move the "asides" posts to del.icio.us under the asides tag. On the sidebar on the right of the page are the latest entries. I've implemented this using the del.icio.us cached plugin for WordPress. I've considered putting the del.icio.us posts back into the blog (similar to how the asides worked previously), but I feel it clutters the blog up a bit too much. There have been times where all I ever posted were little links (with small comments of my own)… simply because I couldn't be bothered writing full posts, or simply didn't have the time. If anyone's interested, this can be achieved using the WordPre.cio.us plugin.

There's also an RSS feed.
