Opinion: Smart phones might be a tad too smart.

Bottom line: Turn off geo tagging on your smart phone for ANY pic you plan to post on the inet.

Tip of the hat to my oldest friend who finally spammed me something useful.

EMAIL TO A VENDOR EMAIL CAMPAIGN SOFTWARE

I’m interested in offering my 100 chapter book by email.

I want to set up a sequence of 100 emails that will form up what I would call a “campaign”. When I get a victim, I want to put in that email address and forget it. I want the software to every day fire out the appropriate day’s email.

At any given point in time, I could (hopefully) have lots of them at different points in the process.

Every time I have spent time investigating a software product or web offering, I eventually found out it couldn’t. Sometimes I was told it could, installed the software and tried a test. Fail.

Hence the email message before I waste everyone’s time.

If yours doesn’t, do you know something that does?

Thanks,
fjohn

AND THEIR PROMPT RESPONSE

Hello fjohn,

Mailings can not send out a schedule of separate emails, but it can send out one specific message at a specific scheduled time, and then repeat that using a specified time interval:

I am not aware of other products that do exactly what you want.

Ciao
Joe

SOFTWARE: APPLE IPHOTO doesn’t allow you to …

Thursday, March 24, 2011

APPLE IPHOTO doesn’t allow you to …

… easily mange the size of the Photo Library.

And, the backup function is lame. There’s no way to do a backup to an external drive except by doing individual exports.

It would have been trivial to allow it, but they didn’t.

One can only imagine that the decision to implement this way was to drive sales to Time Machine or Mobile Me. Clearly, that might be speculation. But, it fits how I see APPLE. Exploitive. The software is designed and implemented in a way that’s best for APPLE; not the User. imho

# – # – #

IPHOTO is unsuitable for use on the MACBOOKAIR due to limited hard disk space and the software’s inability to compensate for that.

When one imports pictures into IPHOTO from a camera, that is the easiest time to create the external backup.

MACBOOKAIR: So much for that upgrade

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

Spent a lot of time yday making space for the upgrade purported to fix panics.

Had one last night after the upgrande and two today so far.

“Bare metal restore” is looking like my only option.

If I wanted to have these type of problems, I could have stay on windoze.

Outlook’s looking better and better.

Argh!
