I’m going to be purchasing some home theater stuff for the basement and I’m looking at the extended warranty services that American Express and Visa offer. It seems that either will give me an extra year on the warranties – though I seem to recall a friend of mine talking about getting a longer extension…

Yesterday I sent out a FeedLounge newsletter to the people who had filled out the form for more information/beta test. I included a brief synopsis of what we’re doing and working on, and also offered alpha spots to the first 100 people to reply1. I somewhat underestimated the response that would get. Scott called me…

There is a jackhammer in my basement right now… not the best work environment. It may be time to head down to the coffee shop.

Spotlight, Expose, Dashboard… I don’t use these. Really, not much has changed for me since 10.1 in terms of the way I use my computer. Am I missing out on things? I’m still using LaunchBar for launching and switching to apps, getting contact information, visiting bookmarked sites and doing searches. I generally use online tools…

I changed the way I position checkboxes and their labels in the alpha 4 release of FeedLounge. The previous technique proved to be very inconsistently applied in Firefox – it would look right on one load, then you’d hit refresh and it would be all gollywockit. Many decisions in form layout and label positioning are…

For the last year or so, I haven’t been able to find my old Palm Vx that I used as a golf scorecard (with Intelligolf). Yesterday, I finally gave up and bought another one on eBay for ~$101. Sure enough, I found the Palm Vx today… 🙄 $15 including shipping. [back]

One of the nice things about moving to Denver is we’ve become a bit of a central gathering spot for our respective families. 🙂

FeedLounge has been bumped to alpha 4. The main excitement in this release for me is the addition of support for 401 authenticated feeds. Now I can subscribe to the FeedLounge task RSS feeds created by Tasks Pro™. 🙂 This also creates additional server load as the data from 401 authentication and private feeds cannot…

Starting Monday, I’m going to have to get up ~7:30 AM at the latest as we’ll have some workers at the house finishing our basement. I’m used to staying up late and sleeping in until 9 or so if I need to… I’m already dreading it. 😉

Does anyone have experience with servers from ZT Group? We’re server shopping for FeedLounge right now and looking at the ZT Optimum 4U Server (w/ 8x300GB HD & 8GB of RAM) as a potential candidate for one of our database servers. This post is part of the project: FeedLounge. View the project timeline for more…

Stephen O’Grady wrote an excellent piece a few days back where he talks about paying for online services. I had lunch with Steve a couple weeks back and we touched briefly on this topic. I’m having lunch with him again this week (it’s nice to hook up with a fellow techie here in Denver) and…

I should have listed this as one of the challenges of running a competition. 🙂 In case the info is useful, the way I handled this was to have a pool of judges that reviewed everything. If some didn’t get have time to do the judging, that was fine but I didn’t wait for them.…

I’m not one to sign up for a lot of blog rings and the like, but I did add my site to Colorado Blogs. I saw the link on Greg’s blog. What blog rings have you signed up for and why? What benefits do you think they give you?

When I upgraded to Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), I started getting all sorts of problems printing to my HP 6100. It would shoot out 4 or 5 blank pages or pages with only one line printed on them – a real mess. Thankfully, all these problems went away when I upgraded to 10.4.1. I…
