Subcide

About a month ago while doing some hardcore overtime at work, I became obsessed with the Idea of being able to turn on my electric blanket remotely so that I could come home and go to sleep straight away. (a little sad I know...)

So anyway, my research on the topic eventually lead me to X10 Home Automation units, which aparently everyone but me had heard of before.

The strengths of Apple software applications lie in their consistant interfaces, their ease of use(largely because of this consistancy) and the way they integrate very well with other applications, and the OS. Safari for Windows does none of these.

I got my invitation to the reinvigorate.net beta this morning. For those of you who haven't heard of it, Reinvigorate is yet another javascript based web stats tracker, with i assume the intention of having a much nicer and more usable interface than Google analytics.

So I've been eyeing up the competition. Although I would love to, I can't run Mint due to its PHP and database requirements (all .NET here sadly). Lucky I found out about Reinvigorate.

Obvious dirty humor aside, one of the killer apps that I can't live without, is the mouse gesture app StrokeIt.
