With the move to version 3.5, the code now compiled against the 4.0 version of the .NET Framework. The source code on Codeplex has been updated to reflect this change, so the developer community can actively pick up the change and continue enhance and support SharpKeys. My hope is that the list of available keys will grow to include more international options and that other random asked-for features get added as people require them. I will continue to host a copy of 3.0 and 3.5 but I still ask that all support requests go through Codeplex - this will allow other people to help with new features, going forward.

The source code can be found at http://www.codeplex.com/sharpkeys - enjoy!

I find that if I wait about four days, the loud angst shrinks to a duller din; after two weeks, the entire episode is done. I just need to keep my shit together for the first few days of such events. I find that if I can hold it together for that long I won't pull my own spine out and try to use it as a Q-Tip for my right ear.

In all honesty, I would turn into a "it's not you - it's me" thing but in this case, I think it's just a general change in expectations that everyone needs to heed and it's one that's worth noting.

That kicks open the door to "what if I was paying for it, ya crazy fucker you?! Heh! How would you say then?" I would ask the question, "You are thinking 'I paid for this! I should have no ads!' aren't you? Oh my, you are so off track on this." At least, that would be my plan. The truth is that you have been getting ads, for things that you've paid for, for over 100 years at least. Honest.

I know, you don't believe me. Keep in mind that baseball is over 100 years old already and they've had ads for as long as they've had Fenway Park, Yankee Stadium, and Wrigley Field. It's OK, I'll explain.

Lets look at this example: you went out to buy a TV. You brought it home; it's yours! You open the box and put it on the stand. You now peel off the Energy Star and [look at all these apps] stickers. Those are ads, just so you correctly identify them. Now you need to get content on it... you go with over the air broadcasts, but analog is dead so you now need to buy an antenna. Meh. oO! You go with cable, rent the box from them, and you pay for the subscription to the service. Either the "quasi free" way or the paid for subscription: you're getting commercials. For a 30 minute show, you get 22 minutes of show and the other 8 is allocated for ads. That's 25% of your half of an hour occupied with commercials. You decide to change the channel so you bring up a guide: if it's Comcast, you've got an ad at the bottom of the screen. Ah well, you decide to subscribe to HBO, since that's a premium service. Oh wait, they have ads too. They aren't selling you products sure but they are telling you about what else is on the channel. They are actually telling you how good they are, so you keep subscribing. There's got to be something else... what about Internet hosted content for TV? You go to Hulu. Wait, to show this on something other than a PC, you need to subscribe to Hulu Plus to get it on a TV... and there are the ads again. Or still, since they are in the web version as well. You paid for all of this and you're still getting ads in all of it.

Just sayin'.

And that's just one example. Let look at some other scenarios:
Go to a movie? Ads. For some random product - i.e. Coke - then for the theatre itself and then for future movie releases.
Go to a sporting event? Ads. All over the stadium/field/pitch. In fact, if a player stands still long enough, they will likely endorse a product for you. Especially NBA players and NASCAR cars: are moving billboards already.
Foodstore? Ads, in the form of sales and coupons.
Buy dinner at a fast food place? Ads, usually what's on sale and mascot branding with Jack's round head allover the restaurant in the form of pictures. Or did you think The King in BK isn't building brand recognition?
Ride a subway? Ads. Complete with freelancing graffiti for causes that have no advertising budget.
Eat a Subway? Ads, telling you how good their $5 footlong is.
Bazooka bubble gum? Ads, right on the included comic.
YouTube? Ads and they stomped onto the playback of the video itself.
Own an iPhone? Ads, thanks to the beloved iAd APIs in the iOS SDK.
Walk down a street for free? Ads. Especially if it's Times Square or some other city street.
Drive the car you own? Ads on the radio, along the road, and even in the air if it's summer.
Go to buy gas? Ads all over the pump. If you're luck you might even get a commercial on the embedded screen.
Books? Ads for other authors in the reviews and other books in the back section.
Newspapers? Magazines? Radio? Really? Do I have to say it when 40% of their content is non-content related?

You're getting ads all the time and it's usually from stuff you already own, rent, or subscribe to. The important thing to focus on isn't that you're getting ads - it's a) how easy is it for me to get to my content in spite of the ad(s), and b) did the ad actually help me by telling me about something I didn't know about? You know there have been tragic ad placement (previews on a VHS tape as an example) and there have been ads that have helped your quality of life. If there wasn't a channel like QVC would never exist. In fact, if it didn't work at some point, there wouldn't be ads in the first place. For the HBO scenario above, I learned about new shows that they were putting out by not TiVo'ing over the ads at the end of a movie I got... it worked in the one instance because it wasn't blocking me from anything and it told me about something that I'd want to know about if I knew about it. Basically, some ads systems are far better than others and that's the important part of this.

Guess I'm just better at letting something roll down my shoulders than others... good thing too, given the amount of ads in our society:

Ads slide right off my shoulders and out of sight without a second thought.

On December 6th, 2011, Microsoft updated its dashboard to the metro style look. With this update came a new and "improved" Netflix app. For us Xbox Love members paying $65 a year for Xbox Live and ~$100 for Instant Streaming Netflix we deserve the right to watch movies with our friends in a simple and easy way. Sign this petition to convince Microsoft to give us back our original Netflix App's functionality with Xbox Live Parties. For more information follow @NetflixParties.

Uh... what?

First and foremost: Netflix designed and wrote their application. He should be pushing feedback to them, rather than petitioning Microsoft. This reminds me of people that blame Apple for changes that Rovio makes to the UX or features of Angry Birds on iOS.

Second: while the "in app" version of Parties currently isn't in Netflix, Parties are still supported by the console. You can be in a voice chat Party with anyone across the entire Xbox 360 ecosystem. The only time this isn't the case is if a game disables Party chat to "prevent" cheating. "Prevent"? Yes, because you can easily call someone on the phone or use IM if private communication is really required to get something done.

Third: who wants to talk to people while watching a movie? At least if it's kept within the Party you have less of a chance of pissing off other people, but hey - that's just me.

Originally I was going to post this as "Uh, Parties still exist" but other people that have gotten the updated version of Netflix did point out that it's more than just voice chat - when using the older version of Netflix, starting/stopping the movie was controlled by one person so you were in sync... now you'd have to do this by hand, which could be an annoying FirstWorldProblem... like syncing Dark Side of the Moon with The Wizard of Oz.

Either way - can someone tell this guy that he's petitioning the wrong company?

One year in, the story continues...

Drops!
Do I still need drops? Not too often, but I do find that if I pet a dog or cat - which I'm allergic to - and rub my eyes, I use the natural tears to flush my eyes. I don't know if this is because of the PRK or the allergies but I found that using the natural tears is enough... I haven't used medicated drop since the surgery and I find nothing wrong with having eyes that are well moisturized.

Glasses
I can't believe it but I still have moments when I try to take my glasses off... I think it's when the subconscious kicks it... funny stuff, that.

Nintendo 3DS
I have not tried this device since the last time I tried it. Not worth the risk, the pain, or the effort.

Bright Lights
One thing that I haven't quite gotten used to but I've come to understand that it's part of the successful surgery is that sunlight is really, really bright! I have a bunch of cheap sunglasses that I like to wear but even so, I'm still surprised at how bright it is. Just another part of the story.

Morning Pain
Know how you wake up in the morning with the crusties? Yeah, well, if those wander into your surgically enhanced eyes, it hurts. A lot. Something else I've gotten used to but still something worth noting (and something I plan to bring up to the doctor this week - it might be something like dry eyes or something.)

Nearsighted Update
Unchanged since my Epilogue post. I haven't had to pull out a magnifying glass yet but I have taken pictures with a cell phone and zoomed in on stuff when I'm straining... I see this something that would have happened anyway and have gotten used to it. Hasn't gotten worse, at any rate.

Farsighted Update
I believe that I'm still retaining the 20/10 to 20/15 range. I have noticed that if I watch a long movie or play a long gaming session without a break, that I have to consciously adjust my focus for something closer. Same thing if I read for a long while, I find I have to take a moment to read far away. Not a problem, but just something I've noticed.

Overall? Thrilled, still. I remember everything from the surgery and the recovery and I would sign myself up for it again... no question.

It's all good.

Not as well as I had hoped...

...and since I haven't used Siri for anything else voice related, I just decided to turn it off which returns voice dialing to Voice Control, which worked well before Siri was pushed onto the stack. No more Siri, until it's out of beta.

iCloud? Had too turn off Push because of the battery drain but I still can't find a way to force an update... now it sorta sync's when it wants to. That aside, I'm using it for Reminders, Bookmarks, Documents/Data, and Find My iPhone - two of which were in iOS 4 - Reminders and Documents/Data are new, but to be honest I have no documents to sync and haven't set a Reminder yet. I was using Photo Stream but turned that off when I realized that every photo goes up to the thing and I can't delete it on the service side; had stupid quick Facebook shots appearing on all my PC's.

The Notification page? I used to have Weather and Stocks on there, which was neats, but turned those off because of battery drain.

Notifications? Turned off most of them, because of battery drain.

Location services? Had to turn off most of the system-related items (including Local Weather) because of battery drain.

Sync over WiFi? That's been handy for small updates - if it's a bunch of content, I still go to the wire, but that's totally acceptable.

Camera? Now that's a nice piece of hardware... I'm truly digging the new camera on the 4S...

The rest of it? It's lacking... simply just lacking.

I mean I know most of the iOS 5 features were to catch up to Android and Windows Phone features, but I guess... it's just so lackluster.

Anyone else having the same let down or is my quality bar too high?

Just because you protest it doesn't mean you'll get your way - hell, it doesn't even mean that you're right.

The fact that there's no clear "rationale" to the movement is part of it is part of the problem. The only common thread we know of is "those people have a bunch of money and we don't. We should have more money!" Um, and? Honestly, I can't tell if this is it or not. If it is as simple as this, I have no respect for this movement. I respect that they are pissed and I respect that they want to protest, but not one ounce of respect for what they want. No matter how much money you think a banker is overpaid, it should change nothing. That banker is still working for their money. How is a banker earning $10 million worse than a baseball player earning $15.2 million? They are both working for it. The baseball player is playing a game and has physical demands; the banker has unique talents in the office space. "They made their money on failed mortgages!" you say? Why shouldn't they if people are stupid enough to borrow three times more than what they should? Sorry, but it doesnt hold water.

Add to this that America has always been propped up as a capitalist society. It's not 100% capitalist. Hasn't been for years... not since we started things like welfare and social security, but we've also told citizens that if you want more, work harder. Now it feels like we expect the government to take care of more things and we want more for less effort. It's almost like some people in the public think that we should all work for the good of humanity, a la Star Trek's Next Generation: we just do it for the fun of it because there's no concept of money. This is socialism. And that's fine, if that's what we - as a people - vote for, but then we really need to stop half-assing it. "People can stop working so damned hard because it doesn't matter," but that's not what happens... right now if you stop working hard, you get demoted, you lose your job, and your quality of life suffers... can't have it both ways and right now, as a nation, it feels like we've lost our way or at least we're putting a mixed message out there.

As to the protests and crackdowns themselves. Every American has the right to protest, but as with all things, you have to take responsibility for your actions. If the city or state you live in has laws for regulating protests or the sites you protest at, you need to follow those laws. Seattle's Westlake center is so liberal that there's always a protest there, usually several causes. Not everywhere is like this. Don't like the laws where you are? Change the law. Break the law instead? You get arrested and you should be arrested. Simple. Logical. It's what makes us Americans, actually. The bit in New York City? The protesters were on private property. That's about the end of it.

Also, be aware that when you march en masse on somewhere public, you are disrupting the 99% far more than you are the 1%. The 1% that you are trying to harass have helicopters and rooftop pads to leave from. You are wreaking havoc on the people that have to drive through these cities to earn a living. Disrupting the laymen of the world will not make your popular and likely won't get you additional support.

Lastly, there's been the public outrage about protesters getting hurt by the police as protests are managed and broken up. Will there be cops that are trigger happy or abuse their position at rallies? Sadly, yes. Is it as bad as the media is making it out to be? It might be, but I question it. The media needs to sell content. Their target audience? All the hipsters that are watching the protesters on their iPads and have no intension of getting off their ass except to get another PBR from the kitchen. They see 10 seconds of media-spun video of some poor bastard getting smacked around with a nightstick and start a public outcry on Twitter. What they don't see is what lead up to that nightsticking. Could it be the guy deserved it? The media won't include that - it doesn't sell well. I recall once clip in Seattle news, where there was outrage that a cop would hit this "innocent" girl while he was trying to put cuffs on another - huge outcry. Until two days later when you see the whole clip which broke on YouTube: the girl that got hit tried to grab the cop's gun, while he was cuffing her friend.

Right now, the media is only going to show you what sells ads and thats not showing you two sides to the story. It doesn't mean that the cops are perfect and there aren't problems out there. When you've got a mob to control, and the mob gets unruly, tensions will flare on both sides of the street. It excuses nothing but it does mean that you're likely only seeing half the story half the time. The in 60's, when protests were running amuck on college campus, they were often painful and bloody, as most change is. We somehow forgot that over the last 50 years. We look back and think everything was a peaceful, quiet sit-in, like an episode of Family Ties. I say bullshit. There was strife and chaos and issues wherever there was a protest. People wanted change and went to the mat to get it. It didn't happen overnight and protesters didn't get everything they wanted. We've lost these facts when looking back with hindsight.

One thing is obvious with the Occupy protesters: the people involve want change of some sort even if no one is sure what it is or how they expect to get it. They are learning that it's not going to be a quick thing to fix. They will eventually learn that they get a ton of lip service in the media, but the mass populous will not go to the streets with them even if they do have a common cause; we're too lazy or apathetic. They have to learn that while they are trying to disrupt this "evil money machine" that they are actually hurting the 99% they are trying to represent.

And if this is all over something as simple as "we want more because they have more" then I look to the wisdom of Neil Peart:

"You don't something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what the dream might be"

Those Canadians might be onto something after all.

Does PETA have to protest itself for shark jumping? I mean, is this what happens with hippies achieve their dream and have nothing left to complain about?

Let's be clear: it's a game. Worse, it's a rehash of a game. Mario was swinging that tail back in the early 90's if memory serves. This is a refresh, not even new IP, and Mario doesn't capture a racoon to get the suit: he jumps below a block to get a power up icon... if the Mason's are OK with this wanton destruction of blocks, what is the argument here? we don't even know that the fur that Mario wears is real fur. If Ninty puts out a press release saying that it's faux fur, would that be OK? Is this some reaction to the game being in 3D? Did some treehugger get confused and think this was a window into reality?

Hell, if you're going to go after Mario for the alleged fur costume, why not tag the poor bastard for jumping on the backs of turtles, knocking crabs upside down in the 80's, or shooting living snapping flowers with fireballs?

I swear: it makes me want to go skin a chinchilla for a 3DS case just to spike these people.

Ya know, I'm beginning to feel like the media is creating those images where you have to let your eyes go lazy and then you see something in 3D... or that I'm seeing things very much like Picasso did.

Either way, I pose this realization: Michael Moore is a non-racially driven, Caucasian version of Al Sharpton... or if I may humbly submit the following term: Media Bimbo.

It's pretty simple: they both are media whores. They both yell at the wind without hearing what they say. They both bluster and use fear to keep their press addictions going. They both protest causes even though they are part of group that they are protesting against.

Al-baby is consistently coming out against all things racist even though his comments, views, and press releases show that he himself is racist.

Mikey just did the same thing, by getting involved in the "Occupy" movement: he's the 1% they are protesting against. He's called anti-capitalistic yet he's made money with both fists by plying his trade ...which is what a successful capitalist does. Bottom line? You can't maintain weight like his on a protester's salary...

I would ask that these people look at themselves in the mirror before opening their mouths but hey...

Would give me less to blog about, I guess.

• Ringtones are now supported for alerts: you can finally use your own m4r files for reminder tones
• Syncing over Wifi: great to have, but slower than the cable. Also of note: turn off the "start iTunes when you connect a device" option if you don't want iTunes to pop up on your desktop just because your iPhone is charging
• Emoji enabled: I'm not sure if this is available without the old hack, but it's still in my available keyboards, so it might be... either way, good to still see it supported
• Quick camera: even with my lock screen requirements due to my IT department, I find it great that I can double-click the home button and have access to the camera without having to unlock the thing
• You can now manually refresh the calendar! At least I think you can... while looking at your calendar, hit the Calendars button on the upper left and you'll be shown a list of available calendars. In the lower left, there's a refresh icon, that seems to refresh the data of all the calendars. If you only have one calendar installed, I don't know if this is available... maybe the "Calendar" button becomes "Refresh".

And in the still needs improvement area - maybe for iOS6:

• Shuffle by Album: still missing since the release of the iPhone
• Video App: I still don't understand why (or how) to turn on Series names in the TV Show section of the video application

More as it is discovered.

9% federal sales tax? On top of a 9.5% state sales tax? This would make a $10.00 item jump to from $10.95 to $11.85 in retail circumstances... and I'm going to pay less taxes how?

Not that this has anything to do with... well, anything, but the man ran Godfather Pizza. Have you ever tasted the product? If he ever did, he would not be proud of his tenure... anything that makes Domino's and Pizza Hut look good.

Although, the analogy is interesting, though... if he pushed bad pizza to millions of customers, I have to imagine that he never sampled his own product... has he tasted his 9-9-9 plan before pushing it out?

My guess is: no.

That aside, I thought I'd offer a small Public Service Announcement around the release of iPhone 4S: if you have a Bumper from your AT&T iPhone 4, go buy a new one.

Go on - I'll wait until you're back from the Apple Store before explaining why.

Then I started using it... and it uncovered one very basic flaw: it was so well designed and fit the phone so perfectly that I often had issues with the headphone jack (deja vu, iPhone 1?) and if I tried to use some of my older iPhone/iPod/iPad cables, they didn't fit through to the port at all... ah well, the Bumper is easy to pop off, right? The downside of that approach is that after a year of that, the thing was getting loose... it happens, but was disappointing.

When the 4S was announced, I noticed that the slot for the mute button on all models had slid down to where the Verizon 4 was... this made the AT&T 4 the odd man out. This also made me glad that I sold my Bumper with my iPhone 4; I would have had to buy a new one anyway, since my v1 Bumper was designed when there was only an AT&T iPhone. Yesterday I wandered into the Apple Store to pick up a new Bumper. I checked with the Blue Shirt that it would fit the new 4S and she was all smiles about that.

And that's the PSA of the post: the new Bumper has been quietly redesigned. Or quietly enough that I didn't care when they did it. Maybe it was done for Verizon's 4 or for the new 4S but either way: they've given the headphone jack some extra space and they've made the bottom port pass through much, much more generous. All of my cables now fit the thing; the only port that's questionable is the cable in my MINI but to be honest, that's way oversized...

Was a nice surprise, is all. Worth buying for the new hardware, but to be honest, I would have put up the $29 for the old 4, had I known.

Yay stuffs.

Why "err"? Because I realized that this is as close to a Presidental lap dance that you'll ever get: he has nothing to offer you but what you see and you're still going to pay him for it, after the dance is over. There's nothing Obama can say about the drop today and even though we might be a AAA nation we don't have a AAA rating on our bonds no matter how you want to spin it. Presidental Lap Dance... sounds like a band name.

MSN: Jane Fonda says she suffered low self-esteem over dad's criticism

Why "err"? You're Jane Fonda. You're an actress. You're career was based of physical appearance and given Hollywood's ageless quest for youth, you would be worried about your image no matter what your father said to you. In fact, don't I recall a like of workout videos that promoted weight loss? You're rich beyond the dreams of most American. And basically... now... well, I don't know why you're saying anything at this point. That you were treated like a common teenager? That your self esteem was hurt because of a degrading statement and that drove you to problems later in life? Hey, Jane: shut the hell up because this just means you are a normal person with average problems, just like the rest of us. Except for the people that can't afford all of the help you were able to pay cash for. Suck it up. Hey, MSN: how is this worth the effort it took to post this? I mean honestly: we've gone from Elanor Roosevelt saying no one can put you down without your consent to "My Daddy made me bulimic because he said something mean about me" 60 years ago?

I wonder what the evening news is going to look like - I think I'll just leave Netflix on.

Because... why?

For once I think this confuses me to the point of not having a point aside from this is full of Fail.

I said on Facebook - once the news broke about the acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges - that I was going to take a little vacation from the intertubes because I, for one, cannot stomach misplaced public outrage anymore. Guess I broke that silence right quick. And did I say misplaced outrage? Bet your ass I did. More on that in a minute. But first a plea for help:

For the love of all that's good and holy, can Florida secede from the Union? Get out. Leave. Go back to Spain or forge an alliance with Quebec or something. Leave Walt Disney World as a safe zone if you have to, take the rest of the peninsula, and go. You don't even properly buffer hurricanes anymore. You have out lived your usefulness and you grab far too many headlines between botched election counting - 1, 2, 3 anyone? - and botched legal trials. I figure you'll somehow play into the Amanda Knox trial too, given enough time...

I swear, even the Fountain of Youth wouldn't make the state worth keeping at this point.

America is hard. It expects its citizens to be proactive and aware of things that go on within the nation. During its formative years, it expected people to take responsibility for their own actions and to act accordingly. True we've lost some of that recently - very few people take responsibility for their own actions these days - but even so, the ideal has set the framework for other principles that we haven't walked away from. It sets up the notion that the worst thing an American citizen can suffer through is unlawful imprisonment. It was one of the cornerstones of our revolution in the first place: innocent colonists being persecuted for "no good reason." The American legal system is defined in such a way that you are innocent until proven guilty. Because of the paranoia and fear of sending an innocent person to jail, we will often let a lot of guilty criminals go free, to protect the random innocent person. We have a tri-level appeals process for people that are convicted. We have to prove criminal intent beyond a reasonable doubt. If there's reasonable doubt, you are not guilty by definition. We sometimes protect the guilty to guarantee the protection of the innocent.

Jury duty is hard, too. You are locked away for days and days and days and you get to listen to lawyers for hours and hours and hours. I've sat on a jury before. Was a civil case. You could have reasonable doubt in a civil case. It only takes 8 of 12 [in Connecticut] to pass a verdict. I was involved in the case for over two weeks. We had tons of evidence. We listens to lawyers for hours. We listened to the complaints of the plaintiff. We heard the "we didn't do anything wrong" from the defendants. We heard from experts from both sides of aisle. We got copies and copies of structural laws from the city and state. We got tons of information available at our whims. We deliberated and looked through everything while in the jury room - what a painful process. I'd just assume pass a kidney stone instead. Hell, I'd assume that I could pass a lawyer, passing a kidney stone. If things went as fast as The People's Court... ah well. If I'm ever selected for a jury again, I will go, but I will be prepared for the painful process that it's proven to be in the past.

The media isn't hard. The media just sucks bollocks. The media doesn't care what happens in the news any more or if it's the truth or if it's something investigative - they just care about how well they can sell it. It's been this way for a while, but it's no clearer to me than how it was for this trial. The media has passed judgement on this woman from her first news story. Was too juicy not to. They sold the shit out of it, from day one, and never looked back. I don't remember the last time I actually processed the "allegedly" when talking about someone on trial. This woman was guilty on the day that the story broke. Shame on the media for not being fair and balanced. Shame on us for enabling the media beast to do what it does. Sad that TMZ is the only unbiased news outlet: they treat everyone equally although they do have issues with "truth"...

The bottom line in all of this is a multi-part bottom line:
- Outraged? Don't be. The jury made its decision in isolation from all of the slanted media coverage that we've endured - as it should be - and with tons more evidence than we have at our disposal. Long and short of it is that the public doesn't have enough information to send this woman to death row. The jury had the most amount of information available to it than anyone on the planet and voted accordingly. That should be the end of this case.

- Pissed off? Blame the prosecution. In a trial like this, the defense doesn't have to prove anything - it is all on the prosecution to prove everything in a blame case. Either they didn't do their jobs right or the woman isn't guilty. You can make up your own mind about that but it's one or the other that caused a reasonable doubt to be in the heads of the jury.

- Still pissed off? That "she's going to walk free"? She's still been found guilty of lying to the court and could get up to four years. She's not walking completely free from all of this... and I doubt any adoption services are going to think of her as a good candidate any time soon.

- Still pissed off? Oi, get the hell over it already. Spend time to fix the problem. And I don't mean put on a Facebook status for Caylee or declare your political intensions on a bumper sticker or blog post about it... work to get Florida expelled from the Union I mean, get involved in your communities and government.

Me? Me, I'm fairly convinced that if she did it and she's getting away with it then someone in the system screwed up. I'd look at the prosecution and think "you guys dropped the ball" but I don't think for a minute that I know more than the jurors did... they voted as best they could, this woman was tried by her peers, and that's the system we have been running with since 1781 or so.

America: love it, work to change it, or get the hell out.
