  2. DSL Up and Running

    I have DSL up and running at my new place in Denver. No furniture (until tomorrow), but I have high-speed internet. 🙂 According to DSL Reports, my speed is pretty good (not sure how long that URL will work). Your download speed : 413670 bps, or 413 kbps. A 50.4 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload…

  4. Safari Once Again

    I’m trying Safari again as my default browser. I got SAFT installed successfully – I had to download the demo, run the installer, then replace the bundle with the registered bundle. This gives me type-ahead find (though I can’t find an option to find links only) which ironically is broken in the current nightly builds…

  5. Around the web

    Brent gives a good example of thinking from the user’s perspective. He also writes about how listening is very important for developers. This is one of the major frustrations I had in enterprise software and one of the joys of working on my own software. In enterprise software, customer feature requests would filter through 2,…

  6. Volleyball

    I played in my first (and probably last, due to the move) NCVA tournament today. It was a lot of fun! I’ve played in lots of grass doubles and 4’s tournaments, but I haven’t played in a 6-man tournament before. I was pleased to find that I am still pretty effective despite not playing at…

  7. Shoeless Joe Volleyball Player

    Now for the second installment in my Shoeless series: I had to go buy new volleyball shoes today. 🙄 Not as much excitement around this episode. I intentially packed up all my volleyball gear and sent it on the truck. Our league finished the weekend before Thanksgiving and with the move, work and other wrap-up…

  8. Shoeless Joe Golfer

    I decided not to send my golf clubs with the rest of our stuff in the moving van so I’d be able to get a last round or two in before we drive out to Denver in a few weeks. I hopped in the car this morning and headed to Sunken Gardens to play my…

  9. Local MySQL Restored

    I finally got MySQL running again – seems I have to use sudo to start MySQL now. I copied over my data from my 3.23 database and all seems to be good.

  10. Simultaneous Data and Voice on the Treo 600

    When I’m talking on the Treo 600, I am occasionally interrupted by data alerts. I have had both incoming SMS messages and SnapperMail email alerts occur while I’m actively in a conversation and the call keeps going. I thought the Treo 600 wasn’t capable of data and voice at the same time… has anyone else…

  11. Panther

    I finally installed Panther. I’m still recovering… Things that broke (that I’ve noticed so far): PHP – installed the latest from Marc Liyanage. MySQL – haven’t fully recovered yet. I knew this happened but was tired and forgot. Oops! Web Root Data – had to recover it from the previous system folder. I should move…

  12. photos and IPTC support

    I spent some time discussing digital photo management with Adam Tow yesterday evening. Adam is re-organizing his vast digital photo collection and has looked at a number of different tools. What he wants is a nice fat client interface for captioning and browsing photos while on the Mac and a good web interface (probably using…

  13. CSS for Print

    I’ve been rewriting my HTML Resume Template to be XHTML 1.1 compliant and use CSS for the layout instead of tables. The HTML part is all done and I’ve started playing with using different CSS for the screen and for printing. So far, I’ve found that Mozilla and Safari treat font sizes specified in points…
