A couple of years ago I bought an electric bike. It’s a tellow mountain bike with a motor powered by a rechargeable battery.

18 months down the track I’ve realised this was not the right bike for me. I’ve ridden it a bit — probably well less than 200Km in all that time — but I don’t really enjoy it much. I used to love cycling, but I mainly just dread getting up Mt Victoria, even with battery assistance.

Women’s geometry

Avanti Aria 1 bike on Oriental Parade.

If I’d done my homework better — or even any homework at all — I would have bought something like the Avanti Aria 1, with its women’s geometry.

Well, it might be 18 months late, but that’s what I bought the other day. My photos here show it standing on Oriental Parade by the harbour, and in the back of our rather small Honda Jazz (known as the Honda Fit in some places).

Apparently women’s bodies have different proportions from men’s bodies and that affects the ideal ‘geometry’ for a bike frame:

When it comes to cycling, on the whole women are different to men — especially physically! On average women have shorter torsos, shorter arms, and longer legs than a similar sized man. Shoulders tend to be narrower, hips tend to be wider and hands and feet tend to be smaller. And, yes, the sit bones are wider too!
These differences mean bikes for women need to be designed and made in a specific way to ensure good comfort, fit and performance – for all kinds of female riders.

Avanti Aria 1 bike in Honda Jazz.

A sturdy mountain bike

My yellow mountain bike wasn’t designed for a woman, as far as I know. It’s sturdy and quite heavy, what with the motor and battery and all. And it has quite fat tires.

Fat, rather knobbly tires hold tight to the road, making it harder to pedal.

All of that means that the bike was too heavy for me, too reluctant to travel by my pedal power. And it was too heavy for me to lift into the car without fearing major damage to paintwork or me.

And that meant I always had to bike back up Mt Victoria, since we live at the top.

I’ve never been good with biking up hills. I grew up on the flat, after all, in Christchurch.

A fly-away bike

The Aria 1 is a road / fitness bike, designed for casual on-road use.

It’s so light I have no trouble at all lifting it in and out of the back of the car. I can easily manouevre it into position.

Yesterday I drove down to Evans Bay marina, parked by the Zephyrometer and biked North down to Freyberg Pool and back. My iPhone tells me that’s a 10Km round trip that took me 40 minutes.

Then I loaded the bike back into the car and drove up the hill to home. Ahhhh.

I loved it. I felt again that joy of cycling I used to have. The bike glided along easily — even a head wind or two round some of the bays didn’t worry me too much.

Gear changes are a dream. On the way back, with a tail wind I was in the highest gear, powering along, feeling that I can put effort into moving.

Achieving great heights

Today I’ve paid the price. Between the ride on the flat yesterday and the previous day’s attempt at a steep uphill I may have overdone things slightly.

Little by little I anticipate achieving further distances and greater heights.

Apollo eLation electric bike.

Before long I hope that instead of 6 stops in the space of 300 metres up a particularly steep part of Mt Vic I’ll need only 5 stops and travel 400 metres maybe. One day I may be able to cycle all the way to the top, rather than walking most of it.

Electric mountain bike for sale

I now plan to sell the yellow electric bike. It’s an Apollo Altitude XC, 24 Speed Cross Country Mountain Bike. It’s a great bike, it’s just not the right one for me!

Anyone interested?

I’ve just opened up NetNewsWire, my RSS feed reader — for the first time in probably a week. There are around 4,500 unread items, and I’m not likely to read them.

Items in NetNewsWire, my feed reader.

It’s probably been a week since the last time I opened it, and a week before that.

It used to be that I’d open it up a couple of times a day, to read some or all of what was new.

Of course, I didn’t actually read everything. There were vast swathes of items that held no interest for me, or where I’d skim the headline, and far fewer where I’d read the article.

It’s Twitter’s fault

Tweet with opinion and link.

I just don’t visit my newsfeeds very often any more, and it’s partly because of Twitter.

My friends and colleagues and interests send tweets. They not only report on what they’re doing, what they find interesting, or funny, or annoying, but on articles they read, videos they watch, their own blog posts. They post photos to Twitter too.

Now I find myself following links from tweets, viewing photos attached to tweets.

Things are current, alive, on the minds of my Twitter pals. Discussions ebb and flow around the topics of tweets, and articles or videos people link to.

It’s the App Store’s fault

The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) free iPhone App.

If I’m not working or playing on my laptop then I’m likely to be using my iPhone or iPod touch. Twitter again.

Or if not Twitter, then apps, such as the TidBITS app or TUAW or TVNZ News. I wrote about this in some detail in Standing, sitting, lying: there’s an iP(o|a)d for that.

I just never seem to get around to looking at feeds on my iPod or iPhone.

Raw RSS never caught on

I’m pretty sure that RSS feeds never caught on with the general public.

In spite of the best efforts of many, most people just never ‘got’ it. Most were still visiting web pages.

Of course, the feeds are working behind the scenes, as they were meant to do in the first place. They fill blog sidebars, or fill Facebook pages. That’s where the general public uses’ feeds.

We’ve moved on again

I suspect the time of RSS feeds as streams of information that people read is past, never having really broken the surface. They’ll serve as undercurrents that feed into apps or services instead.

I’ll still check my feeds occasionally, but mainly because old habits are hard to give up.

How about you? Did you ever get into reading RSS feeds? Do you still check in on them? What are your thoughts on RSS?

I’ve been thinking a lot about Apple’s iPad since it was announced a few days ago.

Apple iPad.

I watched the event via live blogging, and followed up by viewing the product video on the website.

I’ve also estimated the size as approximating 4 iPod touches placed in a ’square’.

I love my iPod touch

I have a first generation iPod touch, and I love it. While I carry my iPhone with me all the time, the iPod resides mainly in my bedroom. It’s a perfect size for reading in bed.

I read emails on the iPod, and tweets. I frequently use several apps:

• WordPress, for checking comments on my blogs;
• TVNZ for a quick look at the latest news reports;
• TidBITS News, RWW^* and TUAW for tech news;
• NASA, Daily Puppy, ZooBorns for cute and inspirational images;
• WeatherNZ for a weather report and to check the tides for walking the dogs on the beach;
• Safari for random queries on the Internet.

Those are things I do every day.

If I were allowed to, I would also spend a lot of time reading books on the iPod. I have Stanza and the Kindle software, but every time I try to buy a novel to read I find I’m not allowed to because I’m not in the USA. ^**

Of course, there are plenty of titles I could buy, but am just not interested in. Those I actually want all seem to be forbidden.

The one thing I miss with my 1st generation iPod is sound out. There are videos and things I’d watch, or podcasts I may listen to if I didn’t have to rummage round for headphones. Here the iPhone has a clear advantage, with its built-in speaker.

The iPhone is not the iPod touch

iPod touch screenshot.

The iPod touch is very similar in size and shape to the iPhone, but I prefer using my iPod for the above activities because

• it somehow just feels a little better in my hand;
• it has very long battery life;
• it saves the shorter-lived iPhone battery for phone-related activities.

As for my (2nd generation) iPhone: I carry it with me at all times. It holds my shopping list. I send and receive SMS messages, and snap a surprising number of photos. Google Maps have been extremely useful. I look up random things in Safari, and use mobile applications to find movies, check what’s in the night sky, check the bus timetable, or record a voice note.

Some of those apps won’t run on an iPod touch.

The iPod is not a book

One thing I love about iPod and iPhone is that I can use them for reading in bed. I don’t need my glasses to see the screen because it’s close to my face, and the size and shape make it possible to use while lying down.

What’s more, an iPod doesn’t have all the annoyances a dead-tree book offers:

• always seeming to be ‘against’ the bedside or overhead light
• heavy and hard to hold, especially if you don’t want to crease the spine
• fixed font size that may be too small for really comfortable reading, especially when tired.

A passive device

Most of the above uses are fairly ‘passive’. I may send a tweet or SMS, consign a blog comment to spam, or type in a search query, but I’m not actively typing in extended texts or creating graphics.

The small size and cramped keyboard and text entry fields don’t encourage long bursts of writing.

A giant iPod touch

My first impression of the iPad was that it seemed to be a giant iPod touch. I thought maybe iPad would replace iPod touch. Then I realised iPad is too big to use comfortably while lying down. It’s an awkward size and shape similar to a large paperback.

You might use an iPad while lying on your back, but you still have to hold it up. And for those like me who suffer from myopia, it’s unlikely all parts of the screen would be in focus — like the frustrating exercise of trying to read the newspaper without glasses.

On the other hand, my iPod touch is a little less satisfactory if I’m sitting up. It’s a bit too small really, and I have to hold it fairly close. If I’m standing though, it’s fine — easy to hold in one hand and operate with the other.

All the images I’ve seen of the iPad have shown it being used by someone who’s seated. The size and shape look perfect.

Probably extended bouts of typing still aren’t highly recommended on the software keyboard, but they’d be easier. And you could always sit at a table and use an external keyboard.

The laptop has its limits

I always use my laptop on my lap. This seems to surprise many people who see a laptop as a small desktop computer and use it at a table.

I find my MacBook Pro works beautifully on my lap. Typing’s easy, the screen’s at a nice height. I use a graphics tablet, rather than the built-in trackpad. The tablet rests on the chair arm, so using it is like writing.

But for plain old reading or viewing, the laptop’s not quite right. If all I want to do is page through texts, view photos or movies why do I need a keyboard? And the upright screen forms a barrier between me and those around me.

I definitely can’t use my laptop in bed — I’ve tried and find I have to either completely sit up or balance the computer awkwardly on my chest, and angle my neck in an uncomfortable way.

iPad is a viewing device

This is clearly where the iPad sits in the picture.

It’s primarily a reading or viewing device, perfect for when you’re sitting relaxed — in the lounge at home, on the deck, on the bus, waiting for an appointment, on the beach.

At a guess I’d say it won’t be specially easy to use if you’re standing: because of its size you’d have to use both hands to hold it.

It’d be too big to use comfortably in bed for reading, but watching a movie could work well.

No, this is a leisure device, primarily for ‘passive’ activities, while allowing for more or less limited amounts of text entry and perhaps photo manipulation.

iPad is an ‘easy’ computer

I can see how iPad would fit well into the lives of some of my less techy friends.

One friend can barely operate a computer. She reads and sometimes sends emails, looks at a few web pages and has some favourite games. She has recently acquired a hand-me-down digital camera — her first. Her ancient hand-me-down Lombard PowerBook (1999 vintage) is about to die. iPad would fit her needs very nicely.

I want a Padd

As I watched the live blogging from the announcement I felt ambivalent about the iPad. On reflection though I suspect it will find its niche and become as popular as iPods and iPhones.

It’ll work for geeks who have a primary computer and want a small, portable, but useful device mainly for occasional note-taking and online reading.

It’ll work for people who don’t need a whole lot of computer power, but who need a ‘full-size’ device for typing emails, and the ability to attach photos from their camera.

I think the iPad will bring us a quiet revolution.

iPad would definitely fit well into my life. Funds permitting, I’ll be buying one at my first opportunity.

And I know Apple would never be able to do this because of all the copyright and licensing messes, but we geeks can just privately call it the Padd. I’m on the lookout for Starfleet stickers already…

Wellington seems to be a lot foggier, a lot more often, than it used to be.

A couple of days ago fog gathered around the South Coast, obscuring the southern end of the airport runway, and drifting along between the Miramar Peninsula and the Eastbourne coast.

When I took the dogs for a walk in the afternoon I could hear the glorious deep bass chords of a ship in the fog. It sounded as though it were heading out of the Harbour and off to sea.

After a few minutes the MS Amsterdam appeared briefly in a gap in the fog. [Note: the two photos above look much better larger. Click for full effect. ]

On Thursday 28 January 2010, sometime between 5:30pm and 8:00pm, I’ll be ‘on stage’ at Bloggers Predictions 2010 – Unlimited Potential:

Once again, Wellington’s top bloggers will gaze into the future and tell us what the big news will be in the next twelve months. The wisdom of their prognostications will astound you — or amuse you, at the least.

Last year was my first appearance at the PredICTions event.

I’d tell you what my predictions were, but somehow I have mercifully trashed accidentally lost them. They were, of course, bizarre amazingly insightful and way off base stunningly accurate.

Crystal Castles by Frogman!

And so, with less than 48 hours to prepare, I’m looking for some ideas from you, my loyal readers.

We’re looking for 3 to 5 predictions in the following categories:

• Gadgets & Games
• The Internet, Web 3.0…
• Business & Technology
• Wellington/NZ/the Universe (open slather)

Predictions made by blog readers in comments are allowed, but must be credited.

Cheating — by using insider knowledge, in-depth simulations, latent psychic powers, reasoned analysis, alcohol, ouija boards, etc — is strictly encouraged.

I have a couple of ideas I’m loathe to reveal in case my competitors steal them. Let me just say that I have strong feelings about the dominance of Apple brand laptops and iPhones. Maybe even a tablet…

Take pity and help me with some ideas. I’ll credit you, of course, as per the rules of engagement.

On extremely rare occasions, such as a moment ago, the keyboard on my MacBook Pro just stops working.

The Character Viewer.

One moment ago I was using Space 4 to test something with TextEdit. Next moment, nothing I typed appeared in my document. The keystrokes went nowhere. Nothing happened.

I used my stylus and tablet (a mouse, or the trackpad would do) to pull up the Character Viewer and enter ‘keyboard’ as a search term in Evernote.

killall -9 Dock

That located the information I’d saved back in December when this last happened:

Here the quickest workaround yet:

1. Start Automator
2. Select Execute shell script
3. type “killall -9 Dock” (without the quotes) as the script
4. Save as an application, e.g. KillDock
5. Put it in the Dock

Now you only have to select KillDock in the Dock each time the problem occurs.

[Via : Apple - Support - Discussions - Keyboard stops working in Snow Leopard ….]

The Terminal command

BBEdit with invisible characters showing.

I didn’t bother with all that though. I knew I’d just lose the application, and be unable to find it when it was needed.

Instead I had previously entered the crucial Terminal command on a line by itself in an Evernote note, followed by a carriage return, so I could easily copy and paste if needed into Terminal:

killall -9 Dock ¬

Copy a Return

My note in Evernote.

The carriage return at the end of a paragraph is invisible in many applications. I’ve marked it in the code above with a ¬, just to emphasise that it needs to be there.

The easiest way to be sure to have a Return at the end of the line is to type or paste the command into a text editor, such as TextEdit and press the Return key a few times.

Then copy the whole line and paste it into Evernote, or some other place where you can get to it only by using the mouse.

Run the command in Terminal

This time when the problem struck I switched to Evernote, located the command, copied (including the Return), started up Terminal, pasted. My keyboard function was restored. Hooray!

Don’t have Evernote?

I couldn’t work without Evernote to store all kinds of information for me. The free version meets my many needs.

But if you don’t use Evernote you could store the command in any text application: Stickies, as a text file, as a clipping that you drag into Terminal.

I have myopia — that means my eyes can focus close up, say for reading a book, but I can’t see clearly at a distance, say for reading a street sign. I’ve worn glasses fulltime since I was around 12.

My eyesight is important, so I have regular checks, and these days wear quality spectacles, with frames that appeal to me.

Silhouette spectacles screenshot.

A fortune on nothing

Several years ago I spent a small fortune on Silhouette frames.

There’s pretty well nothing to them: a couple of ‘temple’ pieces and a bridge across the nose, hold the actual lenses. They weigh nothing, and they sit very firmly in the correct position on my face. I love these frames.

I chose lenses with a special non-reflective coating and a high refractive index, so I can actually see without troublesome reflections. The lenses are also thin and lightweight.

Handled with care

As you can imagine, I take very good care of these glasses. They are a major investment and make it possible for me to go about my daily business and leisure.

On the rare occasions I’m not wearing them I rest them gently in a secure spot, and avoid allowing the lenses to be scratched.

A stress fracture

The other day though, in the course of normal events, I gave them quite a knock that skewed them a little, as it pulled them off my face. All seemed fine, until this morning they fell to bits. One ‘temple’ piece had clearly suffered metal fatigue and simply broke off where it was attached to the lens.

I could balance the remains on my nose, but couldn’t see correctly as they weren’t properly positioned. This would quickly lead to a headache, as well as frustration and annoyance.

My alternate choices were even older glasses that started giving me a headache within moments, and my slightly older very dark prescription sunglasses. With a lot of computer work to do, these were hardly ideal.

I went with the ’sunnies’ but set about looking for a way to get my real glasses fixed. Not an easy matter on the Saturday of a holiday weekend — my regular optometrist was closed until Tuesday.

The sunnies also made me look as if I were a blind person. On a sunny day they just look like sunglasses, but today was bleak and pouring with rain.

Me in my repaired glasses.

Saturday morning service with a smile

As it happened, my partner had some very similar Silhouette frames she no longer used. She suggested seeing if someone could take the ‘temple’ from hers and attach it to mine. We set off downtown.

Christine, at OPSM New Zealand in Willis Street, asked if I were a client of theirs. I replied that I was not, but that my problem was urgent. Making no promises, she offered to see if she could do the repair.

I left the glasses with her and went off for a hot chocolate.

When I returned Christine handed me my repaired spectacles, with a few tiny and unavoidable scratches that she pointed out to me around where the frame fixed to the lens. The scratches make no difference to my vision.

Now I can see again! What a relief!

My next question to Christine, of course, was How much?

The repair cost took my breath away

The answer came with a smile and quite astonished me: No charge.

I’ve had a busy couple of weeks, full of annoyance and irritation. Things that should have been as simple as 1, 2, 3 have ended up being 1, … extensive troubleshooting … 2, and hours or days later … 3.

For me, the broken glasses were a major disaster, with some heavy and unwelcome financial implications.

More than once on this blog I’ve complained about poor customer service from organisations I deal with. Now I can highlight excellence.

With one smile Christine restored joy to my week. Thanks OPSM.

A couple of times in the last few weeks I’ve mentioned that I’m enjoying using the Google Chrome web browser, but really miss being able to use 1Password, as it’s not yet supported.

1Password unlocks Google Chrome.

That support has now begun, with an alpha version for the developer version of Chrome. That’s a fair few ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’, but if you’re a brave soul who can happily handle possible crashes and weirdness then it may be for you:

We're so early in the development phase for our Chrome extension that the main feedback we're soliciting at this point is "yay 1Password works in Chrome!" or "it doesn't even work." Right now, the only features that (are supposed to) work are unlocking 1Password and filling simple login forms (in other words: 1Password can fill usernames and passwords into a number of sites in Chrome, but we know that plenty don't work yet). Don't forget: this is an alpha feature for a beta developer platform.

Spoiled by Chrome.

I switched to Google Chrome and tried again. This produced results. Good ones.

Of course it’s not hard to enter a search term in a search box rather than an address box, but why do I have to bother to notice the difference?

In the couple of weeks I’ve been using it Google Chrome has taught me that there need only be one box.

After a couple of weeks use I’m extremely happy with Chrome, with the sole exception that the must-have password keeper 1Password isn’t yet integrated. That’s a huge stumbling point, that will be resolved before too long, I hope.
