I’ve read a lot of interesting posts/thoughts/criticisms of the Moveable Type licensing changes (Feedster search). I probably have a somewhat unique view on this as an indy developer and a contributor (though I haven’t contributed much lately) on a competing product: WordPress. One complaint that I’ve seen repeatedly today from various people is that the…

I’ve released WordPress 1.2 compatible plugins of many of my WordPress hacks: WordPress Mobile Edition – a PDA/cell phone friendly interface WP Since Last Visit – indicate new posts and comments WP Style Switcher – change the look of your site WP Grins – clickable smilies WP Plugin Auto-loader – auto-load your plugins I’ve posted…

I get asked to create a mobile version of the WordPress admin interface from time to time, but the existing WordPress Bookmarklet is a great lightweight way to post to your WordPress blog from a mobile device. Granted, it is post-only access, but it does the job.

I feel Brent’s pain. I’ve had this happen a number of times with free trial sign-ups, information requests, support e-mails, etc. It’s just way too much work for both ends of the conversation to be effective. Let’s say someone wants to be a good netizen about this, and after signing up for a free trial…

*Sigh*… this is going to take a while.

I’m in the process of moving today, I’ll be back online in the evening.

I’ve made Tasks Pro™ 1.1.1rc1 available for download to my Tasks Pro™ customers. I hate doing little point releases, but this has a few fixes that I think are important to get out there. Unfortunately, some of the fixes involved adding additional translation strings, so the version 1.1 language files aren’t compatible. I’d overlooked something…

My buddy Adam gets some long overdue recognition for his nBlog efforts. Yay for George Nethercutt! The Republican Rep. from Washington has written to Bud urging him to kill the ads on the bases idea. I’m actually surprised MLB backed down on this. I’m not wild about these reports of AirPort Extreme problems with PowerBooks…

19 door knobs replaced, one to go. Somehow one with the wrong finish sneaked into the bag. I give you: The most effecient way to replace door handles. Of course, this only applies to my specific situation, but I’m sure you gathered that already. Tools: Cordless screwdriver w/ phillips head bit Chisel Phillips screwdriver Flat…

I’m absolutely loving the 17" PowerBook. The screen is big enough for me to develop on comfortably and the larger pixels mean I’m not leaning in at the screen as much as I was on the 15". The faster hard drive speed is also quite noticable. I had thought that Apple missed the boat by…

The PHP Meetup tonight was fun. There were only 4 of us there, but everyone was nice and they were working on interesting projects. Lee is working on DenverDrinks.com, Trevor is working on a project called NukeBlog and Rad has a site with all sorts of great stuff including character encoding guides that I’m going…

Went to REI a few weeks ago to blow a little of my dividend and ended up getting these shoes (in taupe). They are very cool and comfy, ventilated shoes are definitely the way to go. Maybe I should get a pair of these puppies for summer golfing. 🙂 Gotta love the dividend shopping trip…

I’m going to my first PHP Meetup this evening. I don’t really know any fellow developers in Denver yet since I’ve been working solo since I got here. I’m hoping this will be a good chance to meet some interesting folks. Come on out if you’re in the area.

Tim Bishop has posted a very kind review of Tasks. Thanks Tim, I’m glad you’re enjoying it! This post is part of the project: Tasks Pro™. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

My phone and DSL service from Qwest was hooked up in our new place yesterday. They provide an Actiontec DSL modem that is also a router and wireless (802.11g) hub. This was very easy to set up, and you configure the router through a browser which is very Mac friendly (even though the instructions were…
