Comment on Remember the Milk + Entourage + Attachments = :-) by Roopesh Sheth

@CA RO - Yes, I have noticed that happens sometimes. I have found that the RTM authentication service is flaky, which is why I built in the “I got an error” button, which helps you try again. I have found that waiting 5-10 minutes usually helps.

I got this message

“Uh oh… something went wrong. Don’t worry though; it’s not your fault. The application you’re using to interact with Remember The Milk made an error. It might be worthwhile contacting the author of the application and telling them you encountered this page.

Alternatively, you might like to wait a little while and then try again.”

@Lisa (Following up via email)

Sorry, I don’t use InDesign. However, given that Adobe CS3 was re-written for native Intel support, I would guess it is generally more stable on any newer Mac. Given the option, I would upgrade and see if it resolves the issue.

Roop,

Now that your’ a Mac person, I’m hoping you can shed some light on an InDesign problem I’m having. I don’t know if you are familiar with InDesign, but here goes… When trying to print a document or create a pdf in InDesign (Adobe CS2, 4.0.4.658) at times I experience an “internal error” message. The document then does not print or does not create the pdf. I am forced to then restart. Adobe has not offered any answers on this.

I’m interested if you have encountered this before.
Thanks,
Lisa

I fully agree. There should be news out there with the headline, “APPLE MOBILEME LAUNCH FIASCO”. The fact that the web applications are not up and running should be major news.

[...] A while back I created an Entourage script to create tasks from email messages in Remember the Milk. Well, I finally got around to improving it. [...]

Comment on WWDC ‘08 Predictions by Roopesh Sheth

Roopesh Sheth — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 12:40:45 +0000

@Ryan Estrellado: I don’t believe there are limitations to the number of radios you can jam into a device. I must say, though, that GPS is low on my list of “wants” in the next iPhone. ActiveSync, 802.11n, and 3G are my priorities, in that order.

Comment on WWDC ‘08 Predictions by Ryan Estrellado

Ryan Estrellado — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 06:33:43 +0000

I was wondering about the GPS rumor. Aren’t there limitations caused by having the GSM, GPS, 3G and WiFi hardware all in one place?

Comment on Guitar Hero 3 wireless guitar is broken by Roopesh Sheth

@Joyous - Rock Band is better for me, cuz Neela will play. That makes a huge difference for me, in terms of enjoyment, because if she’s playing, she’s not complaining about me playing!

Comment on Guitar Hero 3 wireless guitar is broken by Joyous

Joyous — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:59:46 +0000

Dude - I TOTALLY agree. We have returned our wireless guitar 2 times already, one to Amazon and one to Best Buy. We are kinda screwed cause we gave away our wired GH2 X-Plorer. I’ll have to ebay another one.

I have to disagree that RockBand is better. It’s better for playing with 3-4 people on a random basis, but I like the songs on GH more, and it’s more fun to play with 1-2 people, especially in Career Mode. Thoughts?

This is definitely something I was looking forward to. Now that I’ve gmail-RTM compatibility this completes the puzzle.

Thanks!

@Chad - I will look at the HD Trailers at another time. I need to work on some other projects for a little while

Chad — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 22:01:12 +0000

I agree I watch mine on a 52″ Mitsubishi DLP it works but could look a lot better. I was excited that hulu has HD content. then I looked at the HD gallery. It is all trailers. May be the HD gallery will have more to chose from when Hulu isn’t Beta. I’m curious on your take of the picture quality of the HD content. Is it as good as Pirate Bay?

Roopesh Sheth — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 13:25:06 +0000

@Joshua - Hulu swears you’re already a member. The invite comes from Hulu, not from me. I copied and pasted your email address from here to hulu and changed the words to “@” and “.”. Don’t know what else to tell you.

Hulu says “This email address has already been associated with a Hulu account.”

I checked both spam and inbox. No invite. Make sure it’s GMAIL and not GMALL.

Thanks Roopesh for your reply. We are continuously working to improve the video viewing experience at Hulu and will certainly take your feedback to heart.

Thanks again for trying out the site and please feel free to contact us anytime should you have any additional questions or comments.

Comment on Initial Take: Hulu by Roopesh Sheth

Roopesh Sheth — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:46:21 +0000

Eric,

I stand corrected. The video is 640×360. Given todays bigger monitors and higher resolutions (I have a 21″ 1680×1050) this look absolutely tiny on the screen. And when I go try to go full screen, it gets real pixelated, real quick.

Thanks for quick follow-up!

Comment on Initial Take: Hulu by Eric Feng

Eric Feng — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 21:03:46 +0000

Hi Roopesh, can you tell me what specific Hulu.com videos you were watching that had poor quality? We encode our videos at 640×360 and 700kbps so I want to make sure there isn’t a problem on our servers mistakenly sending you a degraded video stream.

Thanks,

Eric

I would like to comment on Abbey Carpet Corner. We are not consumers like yourself, but we are vendors that are being screwed by Abbey Carpet Corner. You see, they ordered material, had it shipped to their customer and then decided they were not going to pay for it. We have been in contact with Seth Bogart, the owner and several of his cohorts. So you see, it isn’t only the consumers Abbey Carpet Corner “screws” but also their vendors. I would love to get this up on the blog, but I can’t seem to find it. Can you help me with this?

Soon you will need to remap your neurons to include the dreaded orange button. I’ve only been able to 5 star one song on hard. Good luck.
