I’m on vacation for the next week and a half. 😎 I should be able to check e-mail and process orders every 48 hours or so, but don’t expect an immediate response to anything. I’ve also turned on comment moderation while I’m away.

I’ve released a new alpha of Tasks Pro™ that includes basic support for recurring tasks. Not all of the corner cases are handled as well as they will be by the time version 1.5 is released, but the basics are all there and you can get a good idea of how everything will work. This…

Though I already have a brief explanation in the documentation why Tasks Pro™ and Tasks don’t have categories, I still get e-mails from people asking about categories. In the future, I will point those people to this post. 🙂 First, a brief definition: categories are containers that you put things into. They are used to…

I went back to visit our pup again. She’s 8 weeks now, but we’re not going to bring her home until 10 weeks because we have a little vacation coming up. When I went into the big dog pen, the puppies went crazy. They were all jumping up and pawing at me at once (they…

Yesterday I finished putting in our new closet. 🙂 I had someone come out to knock out and haul away the old stuff, patch and texture the walls and hang the rails for the new system. We found out that the baseboards and carpet had been installed around the supports for the old closet, so…

I’ve made great progress on the recurring task feature this week. I got a bit bogged down in my initial design, mainly because it was too complicated – simple is better. I may add a little more complexity before the release or in a subsequent release afterward, but I’m glad to have the base functionality…

While working on the recurring task code tonight I ran into the ‘Oh, now PHP5 just passes a reference to an object instead of creating a copy of it’ situation a number of people have already lamented. Changing the default behavior is one thing, changing it without a solution in place to work with the…

Brent has released a public beta of NetNewsWire 2.0 and MarsEdit, Ranchero’s new stand-alone blog posting application. I’ve been happily using private beta versions of NNW 2 for quite a while now. Check it out. I know how much work it is to push out a big release like this (web site update, documentation, etc.);…

From time to time people ask if they can use my site design for their site. The answer is always no. Please respect this, I get ornery when I discover someone using my work without permission (like I just did). It’s rude and it’s also illegal. I host over 80 WordPress styles and 135 WordPress…

I participate in a few fantasy football leagues each year. This is the 4th year of a 16 team, 3 player keeper league that I’m in with some friends and I’ve already had some very tough luck. My first pick in the initial keeper draft 4 years ago was Ricky Williams. He’s not going to…

I finished the initial draft of a site that is built on Mambo Server. Mambo seems to be a very capable platform that does quite a lot. There are some things I liked about it and some that I didn’t. Here are some of my notes: I initially created Sections and Categories for the site.…

I’ve made a few more changes to the forum RSS feeds. The dates are correct now, that’s always nice. The category and forum name is now listed in the post content. Apologies to all of you RSS reading folks who now have a bunch of changed items from the forum feeds. ‘Tis the price of…
