I AM

Everything is achievable through technology

Hard to change, but necessary...

1/11/2013

 
It's been about a week since I posted anything here on my website. So I guess I might as well post something and regarding some changes to my blog. 

First up, I added another tab (it is password protected). I will use that to log some of the more personal events that are non related to the main blog or the technology blog. It is good to blog often, and research shows that it improves memory! :D

I'm trying to change myself to be more efficient at things. I really wasn't efficient in managing time at all. I was getting very little to no sleep at night most of the time. It is either I took a nap really late that made me unable to sleep when it is time to sleep, or I'm just too busy with my own things. 

Of course, change comes with a cost and I'm sure some people will know exactly what I'm talking about :)
I have two applications that you might want to take a look.
First, Tweetbot 3 for Twitter (iPhone and iPod)
On Sale for a Limited Time!

Tweetbot is a full-featured Twitter client that's fast, beautiful, and redesigned from the ground up for iOS7. Tweetbot has slimmed down to look and feel more like iOS7 and has also gained a lot of charm and speed in the process. Prepare to fall in love with your favorite Twitter client all over again.

Brief Highlights: 

◆ Completely redesigned from the ground up for iOS7. 
◆ Native Push Notifications. 
◆ Mute filters lets you block messages from users without unfollowing them. Mute services, hashtags, people, and even keywords (regex included).
◆ Sync timeline position, direct message read statuses and mute filters between iPhone, iPad, and the Mac via iCloud or Tweetmarker. 
◆ Customizable Navigation. The last 2 tabs are customizable and unused tabs are easily accessible. 
◆ Support for multiple services like Pocket, Instapaper, Readability, CloudApp, Droplr, and more. 
◆ Save drafts, add locations and POI's, attach photos/videos, manage your lists, and much more.
