Geosphere Geocaching iPhone App

I just happened upon this application today.  Its a great way to geocache when you are out of range of 3G or Edge networks, for example in another country.  It allows you download pockets of geocaches in advance, and provides you with all of the data you need to geocache without using your network connection.  It has a lot of great features, and a few videos that explain how to make the most use of the app in the field.  Happy caching!

New design, and tumblog support

I wanted a cleaner look, and I am really into red right now for some reason. I got the express-app and added support for it in this theme. I also went back through my posts and adapted them to the tumblog settings. This post marks my first fully integrated post, from iPhone all the way to twitter. I haven’t been posting as much as I wanted to be on this blog, and I really like the concept of tumblr. So I figure if I put it all together here maybe I will post more often. Let me know what you think!

UPDATE: Although I have followed their directions, the express-app complained following this post that my theme wasn’t compatible.  Interesting…

express-app for iPhone

Nice little app to use with your iPhone.  Helps you turn your wordpress into a tumblr style blog.

First impressions of Twitter for iPhone(formerly Tweetie)

Seems to be a decent update, has a number of interesting features. I encountered a couple of quick frustrations with it:

  1. I had to re-enter my credentials. Seems to me they could have converted this themselves.
  2. My direct messages that I have already read were marked unread, and the only way to mark them read again was to tap on them to read them. All 250 of them. Should have a mark all as read feature.
  3. Tweetie had this issue too, but I wish it would show in your timeline the tweets you retweet. (this is of course a feature request seeing as it didn’t have this functionality before)

Apart from these 2 things, I like it ok. UPDATE: Although I do miss the little broken barrier that indicates that the current update began here. Makes it easier to catch up after having quit the application.

I do love the search features, and trending topics, and the nearby tweets. These are all welcome additions, all in all a great job, only a couple of annoyances that could have been avoided pretty easily. I am looking forward to future features!
