Changing keyboard shortcuts

I’ve always wanted to change tabs in TextMate so it worked the same way as Safari. I found this post that explains how. But even more so, it got me remembering that System Pref. I’ve seen it in there but never used it. And it works great!

iPhone 1.1.3 map triangulation things IS useful

When I first saw the inaccuracy of the new maps triangulation feature I figured I’d never find much use for it. For instance, I couldn’t use it to get from my office home, since the range it gave for my office was so big. But yesterday it came handy a couple of times:

  • I was on the train on the way to Portland and was able to figure out where I was on the route
  • I was in Portland, which I don’t know super well, and was able to get the map centered in generally the right area, from which I was able to look for street signs.

Also, I noticed that if you use the triangulation twice in row, you’ll get different results. For instance, the error range was super huge one time, but I hit again and it narrowed down to only about a block size error range.
