  1. Hiking in Golden, CO

    We went for a hike in Golden Gate Canyon (ironic, moving from the Bay Area) in Golden, CO this weekend and I took a few photos. I’m not a big fan of hiking (especially when I’m out of shape like I am now), but I do like having the photos when I get home. Here…

  2. Photos 4.1b2 Released

    I’ve released Photos 4.1b2. This has a few changes from beta 1, the biggest is fixing the order in which a few files were included so that configuration error messages are properly displayed. This post is part of the project: Photos. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

  3. Around the web

    A very interesting article comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL. I get requests for Postgre support for my apps from time to time. I’ll probably add a basic database abstraction layer in a major release. Mark Cuban on raising money: It’s OK to start slow. It’s ok to grow slow. I’ve been firmly in this camp as…

  4. G-mail

    I’ve got a G-mail account (thanks Bill) but some bozo already had ‘alexking’ so I’m ‘alexkingorg’ at gmail, etc. I don’t expect this to be a primary e-mail address, but it will be fun to play around with.

  5. Wabbit Season

    Had a little BBQ last night (it took me 2 and a half hours to put the stupid grill together) and saw this little fellah in the backyard. He was tiny – maybe 5-6 inches long total. Very cute. The mom rabbit and a sibling were hanging out in the area too, but I didn’t…

  6. My Golf Swing

    I posted a couple of video clips of my swing in my Golf blog. I’ve actually got the clips stored on my TextDrive account. The TextDrive account seems to be very nicely set up. I’m mainly planning to use it for extra storage and bandwidth. Let me know if you have any trouble accessing the…

  7. Forums = Good Decision

    So far the decision to put up forums has worked out extremely well for me. I hope the users are finding it useful as well. 🙂 In just over 2 months, 94 users (+ guests) have created over 650 posts. Awesome! I’ve found that I’m able to to answer questions less often via e-mail and…

  8. Custom Development

    I’ve been working on a few custom development projects in the last few weeks. The WordPress implementation I mentioned previously is pretty close to going live and I’ve just finished adding some custom functionality to Tasks Pro™ for a customer. One of the features I added to Tasks Pro™ for this customer will be rolled…

  9. Trackback Timestamps

    Geof posted about Trackback Comment Timestamping and it seemed like a trackback was more appropriate than a comment. 🙂 Geof asks why the timestamp on the trackback is the time the trackback is received (as a comment) instead of the time the post (being sent as a trackback) was posted. I can think of several…

  10. Staticizing WordPress

    Matt linked to this caching hack for WordPress. I’ve got my own caching scheme here on this site that I was planning to expand, but I’m going to take a close look at this – maybe this fellow’s done the work for me and I can scrap mine. 🙂 If it’s done right, I could…
