I’ve just released an initial beta of Threads, a WordPress plugin I’ve been working on for about a year. The idea is simple: show posts…
I really do miss the BlackBerry keyboard. I’m a passable typist on the iPhone, but I had to correct 8 typos while just writing this. That didn’t happen when I typed on a BlackBerry.
Verdict on http://macbartender.com: I liked it, but didn’t miss it enough after the trial to shell out $15. Feels more like a $5 util to me.
GitHub’s online editor (Ace, the same one we use for Capsule) is super handy for quickly tweaking things after accepting a pull request.
1. change password to 20 char string
2. notice a 8-15 char limit warning but it saves anyway
3. log out
4. log in… fails

If my memory serves me, there are a good portion of participants who wear nothing but a backpack for this event.
Clear backpacks: harder to hide bombs in, easier targets for for bag-snatchers. Discuss…
Did my monthly/quarterly LinkedIn triage. Their “people you may know” algorithm is pretty impressive.
I talked to anyone who would listen about the need for alternative WP Admin interfaces at various WordCamps over the last year. I thought hard about hiring someone just to create one as a plugin. Awesome to see Ghost taking the reins here.
GameTonight now creates a module for Panic’s excellent Status Board iPad app. The URL is simple, add ‘/statusboard’ to any metro URL or, while on your iPad, click the link at the bottom of each GameTonight page to install the current metro in Status Board. Example:
http://gametonight.in/denver/statusboard
Here’s what you get:
It currently looks best at a minimum size 4×4 units, but it probably wouldn’t be hard to add some media queries to support down to a 1×4+ ticker-style display. We’ll see if there’s demand.
I actually created a web app similar to Status Board a few years back that I called GlanceBoard. I had modules for traffic, weather, GameTonight, Twitter, etc., but was missing a good way to do layout and never got around to releasing it. I’m thrilled to completely mothball that project and use Status Board instead.
I’m a tremendous fan of jQuery, but there are situations where you just need to insert a little JavaScript into a webpage/app and adding an additional library is overkill. This is a great reference map of jQuery methods to native JS methods.
Pretty cool to see plugins for Capsule already popping up. This one creates a Gist from a Capsule post.
I tell you what, let’s forget the fact that you’re coming a little late to the party and embrace the fact that you showed up at all.
My review of the @panic’s Status Board: DOES NOT COME WITH EXTRA IPAD: 1 STAR.
Having some fun setting it up with @crowdfavorite data.
Quite simply, the reaction to Capsule has far exceeded my hopes. I’m thrilled. As Capsule is a product in a nascent category, my biggest concern was that people wouldn’t immediately see the benefits it could provide. That clearly has not been the case. Capsule appears to be a solution to a problem people (at least…
I’m very pleased today to announce the release of Capsule, the developer’s code journal. Capsule replaces the scratch document you have open when you’re coding. Instead of throwing away those notes, code snippets, API responses, ad-hoc todo lists, and outlines, Capsule creates an archive of your development artifacts. Capsule is a free, Open Source (GPL)…
