This morning, I had a thirty minute phone conversation with an editorial manager at Reuters and a representative of Thomson Reuters human resources. I was told my employment with the company was terminated.

There were several reasons that led Reuters to terminate my employment this morning:

A year ago I said goodbye to my trusty MacBook Pro and started working exclusively on an iPad + Linode 512. It was an experiment at first - one that I never thought would last.

Twelve months later and I find I’m still working like this. A combination of Vim and GNU Screen for…

Like many of you, we were dismayed to learn that Google will be shutting down its much-loved, if under-appreciated, Google Reader on July 1st. Through its many incarnations, Google Reader has remained a solid and reliable tool for those who want to ensure they are getting the best from their…

A week ago today, Aaron gave up. And since I received the call late Friday night telling me that, like so many others who were close to him, I have not rested. Not slept, really. Not connected with my kids, at all. Not held my wife except to comfort her tears, or for her to comfort mine.

Instead…

SlideWriter for iOS lets you quickly move the cursor or select text by sliding your finger above the keyboard.  It makes editing text faster and much easier than tapping and holding for every edit.

It does not require a jailbreak, all functions of the built-in keyboard stay intact including splitting the keyboard.

I’ve been doing some investigation with Perry Metzger into what appears to be a huge problem with memory management in Lion (I, but not everybody, have seen this going back to Snow Leopard, though it’s worse in Lion. This may have something to do with the fact that I was running the 64-bit…

One step at the time

Like on the Mac, Sparrow for iPhone will evolve fast and integrate feature requests and bug fixes.

Sparrow 1.1 is the first step and here is what’s new:

• Send & Archive
• Show/hide dock badge per account
• Only show specific labels and folders
• Built-in web browser
• Empty trash and empty spam

Bug fix:

• Authentication issue with some Google apps account
• Custom SMTP for Alias  

We’re already working on Sparrow 1.2.

The next update will include localization in 9 languages, landscape mode when composing and will allow you to swipe up and down between messages.

What’s up on Push?

Thanks to your amazing support, we feel confident that Apple might revise its position on the Push API. We’ll submit a first version of Sparrow 1.2 including it. This might delay Sparrow 1.2 validation but we’re already working with some partners to include Push in future versions of Sparrow without needing Apple clearance.

Push is coming. With or without Apple.

What about the Mac? 

We’ve been busy on the iPhone for quite some time but we’re back on the Mac. We’re currently working on Sparrow 1.6 for Mac. This next release will include a lot of bug fixes and improvements. The main new feature will be POP support.

Finally, you’ll be able to plug your old Hotmail or Live account in Sparrow.

As always, we’ll keep you posted on our progress here.

no universal (or iPad layout) love yet? drat! This’ll be my default as soon as I can use in without X2 mode, own it already he and on the Mac!
