  1. Help identifying this browser (User Agent)?

    I’ve had a couple people hit my "click here if you are using a mobile device and were not redirected" page. It displays to them the User Agent string of their browser and also sends me an email with the info. I’ve gotten this User Agent a couple of times, but I don’t know what…

  2. Compliance – yeah about that…

    To anyone who wants to know why my site isn’t (insert your favorite "standard" here) compliant, two words: "therapy". Go read this and the follow-up to it here. What the heck, here is one more. I am re-considering the currently disabled RSS feed though, that I will probably turn on at some point when I…

  3. Around the web

    Eric has been travelling again. If you go over there, make sure you have some time so you can check out all the great underwater photos. A friend pointed me to a little fun at Apple’s expense. My tasks app is ready to release, I did find one bug in the iCalendar export (commas need…

  4. Odds and Ends

    This is a great post. I’ve got the second of nine sports conditioning classes today. I nearly passed out (literally) during the first one. Over the last couple of years: working late plus badly sprained ankle (crutches for a month) plus poor eating habits plus more time golfing and less time playing volleyball/basketball has taken…

  5. Joe Schmoe? Watch Clone High Instead.

    Well, I think I’m going back to my "no reality TV" policy. I may watch the end of the last Joe Millionaire episode to see the final reaction, but I’ve had enough of this garbage. You want to see a good show, check out Clone High next Monday on MTV. I hung out with an…

  6. Which PowerBook?

    I’ve been looking over the new PowerBook offerings. My desktop (dual 500mhz G4) is still fast enough to handle the 3 megapixel photos I’m getting from my cameras, but my PowerBook (400mhx G4) is not as snappy as I’d like and it’s getting about time to think about upgrading sometime this year. Unfortunately, each of…

  7. tasks 1.0 rc3 posted

    I’ve posted tasks 1.0 rc3. This is mostly minor bug fixes and some more iCal export options. If I don’t get any bug reports, this will be released as version 1.0 next week. The demo is updated, but I still eed to update the screenshots and maybe even write some documentation! This post is part…

  8. Slashdot’ing Revisited

    Well, the slashdot experience was an interesting one. For starters, my web site had 10,612 visits yesterday – but more interestingly, I got email from people I hadn’t talked to in years. Friends called, IM’ed and emailed their congratulations (on the exposure) and condolences (on the bandwidth). I got lots of email from random folks…

  9. Safari Warning!

    Read the discussion thread at apple.com. A must read for anyone running Safari – I’m going to wait until the next release before I launch it again myself.

  10. \. link

    I’ve been mentioned on slashdot, cool. 8) Dave Hyatt, part of the Safari team at Apple, is writing about Safari in his blog.

  11. It’s bumper to bumper…

    Lots of Traffic! My site had a record day yesterday getting 4,303 visits, blowing away the previous high of 1,646. About 2,550 came via one of the Mac new sites to read the TiVo article while another 1,150 came for my gallery software. I’m also starting to get more traffic from Google, I’m currently #2…

  12. Wireless TiVo Article

    I posted an article that includes step-by-step instructions for how to set up a Series 2 TiVo with an AirPort network. Getting this set-up was a royal pain in the arse so hopefully someone will benefit from my pain. 🙂 If you know of a better way of setting this up this, please let me…
