  1. Subversion

    I think I’m now up and running on Subversion. I’ve been putting this off forever (long enough to skip CVS and get up and running on SVN), but I’m really glad I’m finally up on source control. The next major release of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks will be a paid upgrade, but I don’t feel…

  2. BBEdit 8.0

    Yay! BBEdit 8.0 has support for multiple documents within a single window! I don’t know if my little concept had anything to do with it. I signed an NDA for them, but never heard anything after that or got any of the beta seeds. I’ve just been testing it out and it’s extremely well done.…

  4. Stumbling Puppy

    Last night we made our weekly trip to visit our puppy. She’s growing really quickly! All of the puppies are stumbling around now. They can stand and sit, but walking forward is a bit of a challenge for some of them. They tend to walk sideways and backward a lot. Every once in a while,…

  5. Bootstrap Denver

    A friend of mine in Austin pointed me to Bootstrap Austin. I think it sounds like a pretty cool idea and I’d like to participate in something like this in the Denver/Boulder area. I registered bootstrapdenver.org bootstrapdenver.com1 as a first step – anyone else out there in the Denver area that would like to see…

  6. Tasks Pro™ in Linux Magazine

    Tasks Pro™ is featured as one of Zonker’s Product Picks on page 10 of the September 2004 issue of Linux Magazine!! I’m obviously quite thrilled! 😎 The article, although brief, is quite positive and accurately reports some of the key features and the server requirements. I was a little surprised that there was no mention…

  7. Treo 600 Portable Keyboard

    I’m writing this on the Treo 600 Portable Keyboard I got last week. The Treo’s built-in keyboard is great for quick responses and such (much better than graffiti), but there is no substitute for a touch-type-able keyboard. I had one of the original Palm V folding keyboards several years ago and used it to keep…

  8. Tasks Pro 1.2.1rc1 and Tasks 2.1.2rc1

    While I’ve been working on Tasks Pro™ 1.5 (and the associated Tasks release), I’ve fixed a number of minor bugs that hadn’t been caught before the Tasks Pro™ 1.2 and Tasks 2.1.1 releases. I’ve packaged these bugs fixes in two new release candidate builds for Tasks Pro™ 1.2.1rc1 and Tasks 2.1.2rc1 respectively. Here are the…

  9. 8 Use Tasks Lifetime Accounts Left

    There are still 8 of the special Lifetime Accounts available at Use Tasks. So far the Use Tasks service has been working out pretty much exactly as I’d hoped. There have been a number of people that were a little apprehensive about setting up PHP and MySQL to install Tasks Pro™ or Tasks that are…

  10. Wallpaper WordPress Style

    I’ve released a new WordPress style: Wallpaper (Download) Like all the styles on that page, this stylesheet works with the default ‘index.php’ template in WordPress, no editing of the template is required (other than the changing the name of the CSS). I’ve tested this on IE 6, IE 5.5, IE 5, Mozilla, Camino, Firefox and…

  12. Dyson – Color Me Impressed

    I did a some more research after all the great suggestions people contributed and decided to go ahead and get the Dyson. Someone on Epinions mentioned that Costco had a good price on them and they were quite right – $100 less than the prices I saw elsewhere. The only downside is the Costco model…
