I Recommend Querious

I finally bought a copy of Querious by the wonderful folks over at Araelium Group I’ve been using it more and more in my web development workflow and once I have time I’ll try and sit down and do a proper review. Until then, if you need a decent app for administering/developing on a MySQL5 Server, I can’t speak more highly of this product.

Peeves: NetNewsWire

Whenever I sit down to read some news from my RSS feeds I tend to be horribly frustrated. On the go I use Reeder for iPhone and couldn’t be happier with it. However on my computer I use NetNewsWire, and this is becoming a problem. NetNewsWire works in many the same ways as your default web browser except that it has syncing integration with Google Reader. What I find particularly annoying is that there is no way to keep your queued articles (here implemented as tabs) in sync between two computers in a way that isn’t incredibly hacky. (Though I’m getting desperate enough that I may find myself making a rat’s nest of symlinks to make this annoyance go away.) I’ll sit down at my desktop computer and blow through the morning unread items; opening interesting articles for later. When I actually manage to score some downtime, I’m usually on the go with either my MBP or iPhone. I don’t expect my iPhone to keep all my articles open, that’d be way too much to ask. But when I use the same client on both machines and it doesn’t even sync the flagged items properly, theres a bit of an issue. That’s my two cents. If I get fed up enough to fix it I’ll do a follow up post.
