Froosh. Stuff.

While the twitter daily summaries have been handy (for me) to see who and what I’ve been talking about, I’m turning them off for now as I intend to start posting real entries more often and they would be lost amongst the twitter noise.

The may return at some time in the future in their own feed.  Or they may not.  Just follow me on twitter if you want to keep up.

• I get *sooo* frustrated by software that does not play nice-nice with proxy servers and/or authenticated proxy servers. #
• @WillHughes: I’m more referring to web-enabled software that doesn’t even recognise proxies as an option. #
• @WillHughes: e.g. Adobe AIR (aka Apollo) can’t configure proxies, and doesn’t work at all with authenticated proxies #
• @WillHughes: It does at least work with the WPAD/PAC mechanism #
• @WillHughes: Yes! Exactly. @StevenHodson ’s TwitBox doesn’t work because of the same issue… Even MS do it wrong #
• For a while it looked like the only accomodation left for TechEd was at Palazzo Versace… no such luck! #

• @YoungestOfOne: Don’t let Mr Hrab catch you doing that. Apropos != appropriate. Apropos = related to. #
• @YoungestOfOne: Interesting… last time I looked it up was 15 years ago in one of those big dead-tree things #
• @YoungestOfOne: Perhaps dictionary.com is tracking current usage. Oxford defines it as “with reference to” #
• @chigh: Orange Juice #
• Leaving work to meet up with Mrs Froosh for some dinner. Nom nom nom. #
