We have drywall!!

Our rooms are starting to look like.. uhh.. rooms again! :)

8/2/2008 remodel update

Well, we’ve gotten wrapped and have the chicken wire for the stucco, all the electrical is in and the insulation is in as well.

Things are moving pretty fast and the project manager said they’re only going to me faster! :)

SplashMoney for iPhone rocks!

I have been keeping my eyes on SplashMoney in the app store for a few weeks now.

A lot of people wrote some negative stuff about it and they haven’t released the Mac desktop client yet, so I decided to hold off.

The thing is I’m going out of town and needed a money manager…. In fact I’m in the airport right now, using the Wordpress app, on the airport’s free wireless… Sweet… :)

Anyway, a new version of the app was released (4.02) that is supposed to have fixed a lot of issues.

I downloaded the app, entered all my account info and the app ROCKS.
For me it has been very stable, is very fast and is more feature-rich than most desktop apps I’ve used!

It has budget setting and tracking, you can get graphs of where you’re spending your money and it has multiple types of accounts,so far I’m lovin’ it! :)

iPhone for Geocaching

Well, I wasn’t going to do it.
I was going to hold out on upgrading my iPhone to the 3G iPhone until a proper GPS navigation program came out.

Then I just checked the App Store and saw ‘Geopher Tools’. It looks like a Geocacher’s iPhone companion and has a hand held GPSish navigation screen.

Basically you can check Geocaching.com for caches in your are, put the coords in the app and the arrow points your way… I think I might be upgrading sooner than I thought. ;)

I know you can do it with just the Google Maps, just put the coordinates in the map application and make sure your blue dot is heading in the right direction, but this one shows you distance, coordinates for your current location and digital compas.. cool stuff in the App Store tonight. ;)
