  1. That ‘duh’ feeling

    I got an e-mail this weekend from suggesting that I build a file browser in PHP for use with photos that people can use to select images/folders to add if they are running on a remote machine. Not only would it benefit people running photos on a remote web server, but using it exclusively would…

  2. tasks 1.7 status

    I got quite a bit done on the mobile version for the 1.7 release during the flight this weekend. I expect that will be in beta fairly soon. I’ll probably hold off on including the formatting toolbar in 1.6.2 and include it in 1.7 instead. This post is part of the project: Tasks Pro™. View…

  3. Canon 10D Battery Life Rocks

    This weekend I was out of town attending a wedding and shot 350+ photos… on one battery. Granted, none of them were taken using the flash but it is still pretty impressive. I brought the charger and a fully charged second battery but didn’t even unpack them. I’ve got a ton of photos in the…

  4. Around the web

    Here is a collection of Treo 600 photos. I wonder if this patent will be enough to let Netflix survive WalMart’s announced entrance into the DVD-rental-by-mail space. Check out this great article on UI changes in Mac OS X 10.3 (panther). Via Macintouch: To remove SMTP servers that are not assigned in your Mail prefs,…

  5. HTML/Blog Toolbar

    I’ve been lamenting the shortcomings in the editing toolbar in b2 and wishing I had something similar but better in tasks, so I did something about it: Why is mine better? It is cursor aware . This means (assuming you are using Win IE or a Mozilla based browser, sorry Safari and Mac IE folk)…

  6. 200,000 Visits!

    Sometime during the night, I reached 200,000 visits to this little web site. I had 199,939 visits through yesterday, pretty amazing. It seems like just 78 days ago I was hitting 100,000… a little math (beep-bop-boop) and: hey, that is an average of 1282 visits a day (from 100,000 to 200,000)! That is an all-inclusive…

  7. RSS/Echo/Pie

    I’ve been keeping up with the RSS/Echo/Pie discussion regarding what the next RSS will look like. Mark Pilgrim has a nice collection of links commentary going on it and collections of links here with more here and here. Make sure you also check out Sam Ruby’s site and Tim Bray’s article (both linked to from…

  8. RSS Reader Request

    I want one of these RSS readers to create an open format for storing my list of feeds and the read state of my feeds on a server using WebDAV or something like that. Make sure there is buy-in from enough of the rest of the RSS Readers to make it viable, etc. etc. This…

  9. b2 Security/Bug Fixes

    I’ve applied the bug fixes from this thread and this patch from WordPress to my blog. I suggest the rest of you b2 users go do the same.

  10. NukeZone Web Hosting

    I received a very generous donation on the web hosting side from Darrell Harder at NukeZone. Consider this the first of many grateful plugs I’ll be giving them. Darrell was very helpful answering questions and getting me set up. I’m excited to be moving to a faster box, the one I’m on at my current…

  11. Congratulations Barry Bonds

    Barry Bonds stole his 500th career base tonight, giving him 500 stolen bases and 500 (well 600+ actually) home runs for his career. No other player has recorded even 400 steals and 400 home runs. This is really a remarkable achievement. Other members of the 300-300 club include Willie Mays (338 SBs and 660 HRs)…

  12. Downloads vs. Donations

    Hmm, so far today I’ve had 800+ downloads of photos, 300+ downloads of tasks and another 75+ downloads of PHP Doc System and other misc. b2 hacks and goodies. Also today I’ve only had 33 visits to my donation page. No wonder I’m not getting many donations, apparently most people are just ignoring it altogether.…

  13. Safari 1.0

    I’ve very pleased to see that all 3 of the Safari bugs I reported are now fixed in version 1.0. Whoohoo, I can now remove the Safari layout hacks from my apps. 🙂 There is also *some* support for the title attribute (only on links) if you have the status bar enabled (it is off…

  14. photos 3.5b3 released

    I’ve released photos 3.5b3. This version has some great improvements. I’m excited about the changes, I think you’ll really like them. The way the ‘Load Folder’ feature works has been completely re-done (as previously mentioned here). Now instead of loading all of the photos in one shot with no indication to the user what is…

  15. tasks 1.6.1 released

    I’ve released tasks version 1.6.1. This includes the Catalan language and fixes a superficial bug in one of the messages and adds a missing translation string to the Romanian language file. The demo is updated. This post is part of the project: Tasks Pro™. View the project timeline for more context on this post.
