Most common email message

I googled for the term "most common email message" and only got 1 hit, so I am posting this.

What do you think the most common message sent by email is?

Some companies are their 3rd party ecoystem

For all the big players in technology it seems to one of their real assets is the 3rd party developer ecoystem they foster, and often depend upon.

Been thinking about the iPhone appstore, enjoying my Droid, and then I thought again about Palm and Flash.

Flash could really help save Palm, and I think the reason why is Flash has an army of 3rd party developers who have created simple flash apps, and content providers already proving their content through flash.


I've had the opportunity to talk with some people at Flash in the past, and I've watched their mobile efforts closely. It's still fascinating to watch.

I read a comment recently someone made that talked about how Nokia allows you to use all sorts of 3rd party verticals for application development. Their native symbian, or java, or flash, or silverlight, etc. The same is true of Windows Mobile.

It's not remotely true of the iPhone. It's not especially true of Android yet either. There are some phones that support flash in the browser, but the HTC is the only phone I'm aware ofthat supports such, and I believe that Flash is one of the reasons the Hero is stuck on the 1.5 Android firmware. That could be business reasons though, for all I know.

If I was a professional blogger I'd have a point here. Perhaps someone else can provide one as a comment? ^_^

SVN branching problems

I'm trying to take my recent work, which has been against trunk, using SVN, and check it in to a branch. I made a bit of a mess of it, and now I'm getting this error:

"
svn: Entry for FILENAME is marked as copied but is not itself scheduled
for addition. Perhaps youre committing a target that is
inside an unversioned (or not-yet-versioned) directory?
"

Google turned up too few hits, so I thought I'd post it.
