  1. Congrats Joey Su

    Congratulations Joey Su (nothing to see there really, but a name without a link?) on winning the 3rd season of our fantasy basketball league. Joey took the lead in the adjusted standings in early December and pretty much kept his foot on our throats the rest of the way. As I write this, it looks…

  2. Wireless TiVo Connection

    How to set up a Series 2 TiVo with an Apple AirPort (802.11b) Wireless Network Background When my DSL provider went out of business, I decided to go with cable modem instead of getting DSL with a different provider with the goal of getting rid of my landline phone altogether. With that change, the TiVo…

  3. tasks 1.5 rc1 Response

    So far I’ve gotten a very pleasant response from 1.5rc1. 182 downloads in the first day, another 150 already this morning and I’ve moved back into the 4th spot in the top rated PHP scripts at HotScripts.com. A big thank you to all of you who downloaded/voted/sent me an email/linked to my site. A fellow…

  4. Safari beta 2

    I’m glad to report that one of the bugs I found in Safari has been fixed in beta 2. Unfortunately, the other two are not so I have to keep my safari image shims in tasks for the time being and my date picker still has mystery buttons. Speed is good. I’m also very glad…

  5. tasks 1.5 rc1

    I’ve posted version 1.5 release candidate 1 of my tasks software. I upgraded the on-line demo if you want to test it out before downloading it. This includes a number of good enhancements including: – Made date format (m/d/y) configurable for people who want non-US date order. – Added time offset in hours for people…

  6. Clone High Gone?

    Say it isn’t true! I was wondering why TiVo wasn’t getting me any new Clone High episodes. Thanks to this fellow for the heads up. Here is a nice article about Clone High and it’s co-creator Chris Miller.

  7. Around the web

    Michael Tsai has written a CVSTrac for Mac OS X. Yet another reason to get up on CVS. I’m glad to see development continuing on Syndirella. The Syndirella developer may think SharpReader is a suitable replacement for Syndirella, but I certainly don’t like it as well. Here is a somewhat scary war article from the…

  8. tasks 1.5 Status

    I haven’t gotten any bug reports from 1.5b3 so I think I’m going to put out a 1.5 release candidate 1 this weekend. My previously stated goal was to have documentation for the 1.5 release but my schedule for the last few months hasn’t really allowed me to work on it like I wanted to.…

  9. Google Rankings

    I did a little looking through my referer logs and was curious to see where my site was ranked in some of the Google searches people were landing here from….

  10. Posting from tasks to b2

    I write most of my blog entries in tasks so that I can save drafts, finish them later, etc. Then I copy/paste the post into the b2 edit form to post them. So naturally I’ve written a small hack to post directly from tasks to b2 leveraging the b2 bookmarklet. This is the first post…

  11. Comcast is Junk Mailing Me

    So I’ve got Comcast as my cable modem provider and I think they took over the AT&T cable TV service in my area as well – point is, they know I’m a customer of theirs. For some reason, they’ve been sending me junk mail (snail mail) about once a week for the last month offering…

  12. WordPress

    I had a brief chat yesterday with Mike Little about his involvement in the new WordPress project. I think Mike does great work and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out of this effort. Hopefully some of the separate efforts to extend b2 will merge into a single project and we’ll have an even…

  13. Boston’s Closer Committee

    It’s like I told my buddy Mark before the season started: I don’t have a problem with the closer by committee approach Boston is taking, I have a problem with the relievers in the committee. You want a closer by committee, you want to assemble a group of arms like the Mariners had in 2001:…
