Comments for Fluttering Carefully http://david.socklint.com The Flighty and Fastidious Thoughts of One Strange Butterfly Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:26:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 Comment on The Death of Dark Roast Web Services by Jason Divis http://david.socklint.com/2008/08/17/the-death-of-dark-roast-web-services/#comment-16 Jason Divis Wed, 27 Aug 2008 02:30:32 +0000 http://david.socklint.com/2008/08/17/the-death-of-dark-roast-web-services-2/#comment-16 I think you have to be careful when deciding not to do something because it inadvertently supports something that you don't support. I don't see the world as black and white. I think there is a spectrum of good and evil that the majority of people and businesses reside on at different times. Everyone somehow supports everyone else by participating in society. By working for the government, aren't you in affect supporting all of the policies upheld by that government, including Roe v. Wade and Don't Ask, Don't Tell? This might be a little far down the slippery slope, but these are just my thoughts.

]]> Comment on The Death of Safari? Long Live Firefox! by David http://david.socklint.com/2008/08/09/the-death-of-safari-long-live-firefox/#comment-10 David Mon, 11 Aug 2008 09:04:38 +0000 http://david.socklint.com/?p=47#comment-10 Thanks, David. I guess I skated past two key points about your product that are worth mention: it does not matter that Keychain is unimplemented in FF3 for me, because I use 1Password which stores them anyway; and 1Password is not really a Firefox add-on per se, since it works in Safari, OmniWeb et al. BTW, thanks for releasing the <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=285897621" rel="nofollow">1Password iPhone app</a> free of charge. It was a nice surprise. (I was disappointed to find that <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284885288&mt=8" rel="nofollow">OmniFocus for iPhone</a> is a $20 app, especially since I bought the Mac app knowing it would be tethered to a coming iPhone app.) I will definitely be looking forward to hearing more about <a href="http://news.google.com/news?q=%22safari+4%22" title=""safari 4" - Google News" rel="nofollow">Safari 4</a>.

The new features coming in Safari 4 are pretty amazing, esp. the client side sqlite database (accessible from javascript!!). I used to love Firefox but am not using it at all now. My tastes change about every 3 months so I'm sure I'll be back in love soon. All this browser switching was the main reason I wrote 1Password :) I’m currently in love with Safari myself.
