I downloaded a nightly of Mozilla Firebird for Mac this week and found it almost unusable. Has this been going on for a while as they are adding new features? Or perhaps I just need to trash my prefs? I should try that. In semi-related news, I was doing the compulsory “Mac browser compatibility” testing…

I want to add a ‘testimonials’ area to my tasks page. I’ve gotten a lot of kind comments over the last year, but until recently I didn’t think to ask permission to use them in this manner. Anyway, if you use tasks and like it, I’d appreciate it if you would take a moment to…

I got a couple more WordPress CSS Style Competition entries posted bringing the total to 7 styles. Combine that with the 5 “other” styles and we’re starting to get a nice little collection. 🙂 Everything is posted on the WordPress CSS Styles page.

I got an SMS (Sprint’s version) on my Treo 600 telling me I should go to http://sprintpcs.com/treo600/ and update my phone. Two things struck me when I got there: The page was unstyled and this message was at the top of the screen: Note: Because you are using an outdated browser, you may only view…

Like Friendster and LinkedIn before it, I got an invite and signed up for Orkut. I think I’m missing the point on these things though. I tend to sign up, add one or two friends during that initial visit, then forget all about them. What am I missing? What is it about these sites that…

I received and posted the first two WP CSS Styles entries today! The first one I received is a “shocking blue green” style from Chris. Also check out the great orange theme “Perun”. Note: when you are sending in a submission, please make sure to follow the CSS Style Switcher format: [name of style]/ [name…

On the 16th and 17th, I got crawled by a very poorly written bot. It sucked down over 5GB alone on the 17th as it got caught in some sort of recursive loop. It requested a single photo 37,969 times… not cool. I’d like to set a sane transfer limit (10-20mb) per visitor/day, unfortunately it…

Tasks Pro is now feature complete.
I’ve released a flurry of recent betas to the sponsors recently and have been fixing all the reported hiccups. I’ve also been rewriting some of the same queries over and over again in the last couple versions – permissions are a real pain in the arse. I’m (of course) using the latest version myself and I like the way it is coming together.
When I started writing Tasks Pro, I said that adding multiple users take more code than the existing 1.x code base. I was right.
Just some raw numbers:

I’ve released tasks 1.8.4. This fixes a minor bug in the ‘create_table’ script, updated documentation (also updated on-line) and includes 2 new language files: a Brazilian translation and an improved Spanish translation. The on-line demo has been updated accordingly. You do not need to update your database.php or config.php files if you are already on…

Recently, I’ve had several people apologize for sending me small donations. As I explained to them, there is no need to apologize – they are part of the small group that is actually sending in a donation and I really appreciate it. I promise you, your donation will not offend me. 🙂

I’ve added an excerpt of my latest blog entry on my home page… let me know if you see this acting funny. 🙂

Last week, I released a CSS Style Switcher hack that lets visitors easily change the look of the standard WordPress install by swapping out the CSS stylesheet. This is a great first step, but it would be even better if there were a number of different styles out there for people to use.
To this end, I’m sponsoring a CSS Style Competition for WordPress. Please blog about this to help spread the word. 🙂
Styles will be posted on my WordPress CSS Styles page as they are submitted.

iPod Sound Quality. I’m going to be ripping the rest of my CDs soon, so this is quite timely for me. Management by Baseball is a great looking blog. I’ve started reading back through the archives. Found the link on another interesting blog. A golf/putter computer case mod. I have seen everthing. Where can I…

Go grab a copy – it has a ton of great fixes and enhancements. I highly recommend upgrading to this version.
