WordPress 1.2 is officially released! I plan to upgrade this week. C|net has an interesting article about the impact of Google’s ads on other online advertisers. Tables aren’t the end of the world, a good pragmatic approach that I agree with. Amazing: one man’s final photos from 9/11. Tiger: more Seve than Jack? One laptop…

The home office unit I designed was installed today. I’m quite pleased with the way it turned out and I highly recommend Jim Mason (yes, he’s working on re-doing his site) if you need custom furniture made in the Denver area. He was responsive, creative and easy to work with. I was lucky that Jim…

I’ve posted WP Unformatted, a new WordPress plugin for WordPress 1.2 that makes use of the new custom fields to let you disable auto-formatting and auto-smart-quote conversion for a specific post. I’ve wanted this functionality for a long time, now I need to upgrade my blog to 1.2 so I can use it! 🙂

Brent has a post about NetNewsWire 2.0 with a great passage in it: Since Ranchero Software is mine and Sheila’s company, and not some big software company, we have the luxury of listening to the craftsman in us that tells us that quality is worth the extra time As someone who often was unable to…

With the recent Moveable Type hubbub, WordPress has gotten a lot of new exposure. A number of ‘A-list’ bloggers are making the move or thinking of making the move. Matt has been keeping a nice log of some of the notable posts. I think it will be wonderful to get more smart people with good…

A perfect game at age 40, amazing! Like most Mariners fans, I have very fond memories of Randy Johnson’s wonderful performance down the stretch and in the post-season back in 1995.

I’ve decided to add recurring tasks and task templates to Tasks Pro™ and Tasks 2.0 before I add reporting and printable views. There are several reasons I made this decision and I’ll touch on some of them briefly here. I think recurring tasks and task templates won’t take quite as long to build as the…

I finally pulled the trigger on buying a good universal remote. I got the Harmony H659 and I’m quite pleased with it. To set it up, you log into the Harmony Remote web site, tell it which components you have, then download a configuration file which is uploaded to the remote via a USB cable.…

I’ve made Tasks Pro™ 1.1.1rc1 available for download to my Tasks Pro™ customers. This has several minor changes from version 1.1.1rc1: Fixes a bug introduced in 1.1.1rc1 that kept e-mail notifications from being sent. Adds an RSS feed of data on the Upcoming screen. Added more documentation. Feedback in the forums would be great. This…

For the first time in months, I took the whole weekend off. I went to the Rockies/Phillies game on Saturday and went golfing today. Of course there was plenty of boxes to unpack and stuff to set up around the house, but it was definitely good to get a little time away from the computer.…

Aaron Swartz has been running some interesting political posts lately. Why we need Atom. I just now came across this and it’s a good summary. I should add Atom feeds to Tasks/Tasks Pro™.

I’ve often wondered why teams don’t move their best hitters up in the lineup more. I think many teams would be better off throwing their mediocre #2 hitter in the #9 spot and moving everyone else up a spot. This would give an incremental number of additional at bats to the team’s best hitters over…

I’m watching the Mariners/Yankees game right now, I just love listening to Dave Niehaus. All the Fox Sports Net channels were blacked out when they had baseball games on so I cancelled the “PLUS” part of my Dish service and got the baseball package. So far so good. 🙂 Gil Meche has a great arm…

Dunstan points to some interesting ramifications of having trackbacks (or comments) enabled on a business site. I choose to keep my blog posts about Tasks Pro™ development here on my personal site when I quite easily could have them displayed on the Tasks Pro™ web site. One of the main reasons was not fear of…
