The Southern 'Iron Man'
(via Instapaper)
Klout thinks I am influential on these topics. Can anyone pick out two big problems?
Here’s a neat little process that I use to painlessly move files without having to go through multiple folder structure.
- Select a file on my desktop/in Finder
- Press alt-cmd-\ to bring up list of result actions within Alfred for this specific file
- type “m” and select “move to”
- start typing the name of the folder I’d like to move a file into
- press return
And it’s gone! :)
This is super-handy for you Alfred users out there.
iCloud Photo Stream
During the developer betas this bugged the crap out of me — I hate(d) not being able to delete photos that don’t “belong” in the Photo Stream. Because of that I completely get where Dave is coming from, but I must admit that having used it for so long I decided to not worry about it — that’s done wonders for me.
I have to admit, I am heading there myself. It has been driving me crazy having one-off photos and screenshots cluttering up Photo Stream, to the point where I turned it off on my iPhone.
I’m starting to come around though. What’s the real downside of having that stuff in there?
So Apple went the Apple way: make it painful for edge cases and perfect for the average user.
Excellent way to put it.

Reset The Furthest Page Read On The Kindle
When using Whispersync, staying on the correct page across multiple devices works great–until you decide to re-read your content.
You read thru a book on either your Kindle and your iPhone (or another Kindle). First time thru, you stay in sync on any device. Later you decide to either re-read or restart the book. Unfortunately, the ‘Sync to Furthest Page Read’ will always be the furthest page you got to, so your furthest read page remains at either the end of the book or the furthest page you got to and Whispersync will be let you know when you open that book on the device. You can tell it not to go to the furthest page and continue reading. Go to the other device and try to sync, and you will be taken to the furthest page read, not the place you were at when you stopped reading on the other device.
Nutty way to have to re-set the last read page on the Kindle, but it does work.
Boom.
This is never a good sign, on multiple levels.
