  1. Trades

    The trading deadline is always interesting. The Nomah trade really surprised me though. I thought (hoped) that Seattle would move Boone and Guardado, they are just wasting money on them at this point.

  2. Unix Tools for Windows Users

    Some great tips were posted in the forums for setting up e-mail reminders in Tasks Pro™ or Tasks using Unix tools on Windows. This post is part of the project: Tasks Pro™. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

  3. More New Features

    I’ve been busy adding more new features to Tasks Pro™ in the past few weeks. I think these will be well received. I think I’m going to release an alpha pretty soon so that people can start testing and benefitting from these new features, before I get deep into the templates and recurring tasks. Remember…

  4. Sore

    I played volleyball on Tuesday for the first time since moving from the Bay Area. I used to play at least once a week, but the long layoff has certainly taken my legs from me. My body is quite sore. In the Bay Area, the leagues and open gyms are indoors all year and there…

  5. Thanks Austin Dev

    I’d like to thank Chris at Austin Web Development for his help fixing our server problem yesterday. The kind of service I get from them consistently makes me feel very comfortable having my server hosted with them.

  6. Argh, Router Failure

    The router at the data center that hosts my server has stopped allowing outgoing traffic. As a result, all e-mails sent by my server (since Monday, I think) are sitting in the queue. As soon as this is fixed, they will all go out. We didn’t catch the problem until now because the server could…

  7. SnapperMail 2.0, Mobile IMAP Frustrations

    I bought a ‘lifetime upgrades’ license of SnapperMail over a year ago and have used it as my e-mail client on my Treo. I evaluated all of the Palm e-mail clients I could get my hands on (I think 5 or 6) and at the time, SnapperMail was hands down the best of the bunch.…

  8. Tasks Pro™ and Tasks Translations Wanted

    I’d like to have a few more translations for Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. This will benefit Use Tasks customers as well (and expand the potential customer market). If you’d like to contribute a translation of Tasks (2.x, not 1.x) that I don’t already have, I will be very happy to give you a free Tasks…

  9. Around the web

    Marco Tabini on the PHP 5 release. Kitten’s Project Blog: WP Support Forums Dunstan has re-designed. I wish I could take the time to re-architect my site, I’ve learned a lot of new stuff in the last 3 years and want to do a lot of things differently. VNC over SSH on Mac Adam Rice:…

  10. Day Trip to Vail

    We took a day trip up to Vail today. In the morning we drove out to Eagle and played 18 at Eagle Ranch Golf Course. Then in the evening, we met up with some friends and listened to the New York Philharmonic perform at the Gerald Ford Amphitheater, an open air venue with seats in…

  11. Photos Bug Reports

    Please send in any bug reports for Photos 4.1rc3. I’ve got reports of a couple of PHP notices I’m fixing, but I don’t have any reports functionality or translation issues. If you’ve got them, let me know. I’m hoping to do a final release of 4.1 next week. This post is part of the project:…

  12. Hierarchy Complications

    I got a bug report today from someone who is evaluating Tasks Pro™ for use with his business. This fellow is actually a friend from school that I’d done some development work with, so his report had much more of a ‘what the heck is going on?’ tone than a ‘THIS IS BROKEN DAMNIT!’ tone.…

  13. Harmony Remote Update

    I just got an e-mail from the Harmony folks announcing a firmware update for my Harmony remote. My only compaint about the remote had been that the battery life seemed too short and that is what this update fixes. Kudos to Harmony for fixing the problem, e-mailing me about it, and having software that made…

  14. Zend Development Environment

    I’m a pretty happy BBEdit user. I’ve been using BBEdit for years and I’m very comfortable with it. I’ve never really felt the need for an IDE, but I’m curious and there is a new version of the Zend IDE out, so I figured I’d give the 21 day eval a try. I’m in the…

  15. Frustrated

    I was been reminded today why I’m glad I work for myself. I’m helping on a remodel of a web site (no, I’m not linking to it), working in concert with the marketing fellow at the company, someone at an outside design house and a fellow who I believe is a contractor of the design…
