I maintain six blogs - five
in Blogger and one on my own domain using WordPress, a decision made on a
recommendation. I find WordPress to be a royal PITA.
Previously,
I tried to explain a little of why there are
still Palm OS-5 die-hards out there, myself included. Now that I've begun
experimenting with an iPod Touch, it's time to share some first-hand reactions
to the new standard.

The Information Age
Ours is the Information Age. Pieces of information - data - are the currency of the times. Data are created, supplied, demanded, stored, distributed, lost, destroyed, aggregated, replicated... and there are human beings involved every step of the way, because information is a product of the human experience.

It had to happen, at some point. I've found something that is very definitely much easier in Windows than in Ubuntu - creating PDFs.
Sure, spitting out a document from OpenOffice to PDF is easy - there's a print as PDF option built in. But, I don't like using OpenOffice, I prefer using Microsoft Office, and I'm able to use MS Office in Ubuntu thanks to CrossOver.
I migrated from
Live Mesh beta at work, defecting to Dropbox, and I'm extremely
pleased with my decision thus far.
First, some background to set the context of my
enjoyment of Dropbox.
