Twitter Gripe

I have two main gripes with twitter. First there is no way to sync which tweets I have read across clients and/or devices. So I end up spending a minute or so every time I switch to a different device just trying to find where I left off on my other devices. 

My other gripe is that some twitter clients read in chronological order, some in reverse chronological order and some (I am looking at you Mac OS X Twitter App) have you read in one direction or the other depending on how you switch to the app. 

Hit the blue birdie in your menu bar?

BAM right to the top of your Twitter feed, time to scroll down and find where you left off or read you tweets "backwards".

Switch to the Twitter app via ANY OTHER METHOD and the app picks up right from where you left it.

New Camera

Just picked up a new camera, a GoPro​ HD Hero 2. First impressions: awesome.  I picked up the outdoor edition which comes with a few adhesive mounts, a helmet mount, and a headlamp style mount. I also bought the GoPro suction sup mount which is well worth the $30. I doubt I will be making any videos quite as exciting as the one linked above but I hope to be able to use it to document and share my adventures around the great state of colorado

Squarespace 6

I got my squarespace 6 invite a few days ago and have since been messing around with the new platform over at betaulf.sqsp.com. I am going to be cross posting all of my post at both this new site and here at the old one. From the looks of it I will probably move this site over to squarespace 6 once it is out of beta (Assuming the pricing is similar). So for now feel free to continue to use this site or jump over to the new one. I am going to be setting up a domain (beta.ulfers.org) so if you would like to access the version 6 site directly that URL should be up and running in a couple days. 

Ulf.db

I have decided to start compiling a database of Ulfers family history. Details can be found at the new Ulf.db page which can be reached by clicking on the ULF.DB button on the menu bar above.

If you are an Ulfers and would like to share any information about yourself or your family please let me know.

Back.

Going Dark

With my OCS start date rapidly approaching I am not going to be able to make any new posts on this blog until late December at the earliest. Rest assured it is my intention to return to this blog with renewed vigor as soon as I am able to. Regards, Benjamin S. Ulfers
