We moved FeedLounge (the my.feedlounge.com part) to a separate server this evening. It’s now behaving like it’s supposed to again – nice and snappy. I got through ~400 items pretty darn quick. Removing that load from this server should mean better response time from this site and the King Design sites (including free trials of…

My Treo 600 went from 100% battery around noon to completely dead around 7:30pm. I’m not exactly sure what caused the battery drain this time1, but I sure am tired of losing all my data every time this happens. Perhaps it is time to upgrade to the 650. My hunch is ChatterEmail could be involved…

If you grill kabobs or use grilling baskets (like the one pictured here for corn), you might find my cork-shim solution works for you as well. I’m sure there are other creative solutions out there – share them in the comments.

Overheard on the BBEdit mailing list: I have always considered the fact that BBEdit didn’t fix my “mistakes” to be one of it’s finest qualities. I completely concur, this is perhaps why I have yet to make friends with a real IDE.

I just plowed through the 1300+ unread e-mails from my mailing lists folder. Big development push to get FeedLounge to alpha + vacation + catching up when you get back = a big backlog of non-essential e-mail.

I’ve released new versions of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. These are maintenence releases and recommended upgrades for all customers. Changes in both Tasks Pro™ and Tasks: The “delete task and attach sub-tasks to the parent task” option did not work properly. Changes in Tasks Pro™: Recurring tasks no longer lose their groups. Fixed an undefined…

The Use Tasks server has been upgraded to a bigger and more powerful machine to accomodate the growing number of subscribers. There are still a couple of the lifetime accounts available from those that we offered to help fund the hardware upgrade. With the new hardware in place, we should be in good shape for…

My Treo 600 is getting a bit long in the tooth, however reports from friends that have the Treo 650 suggest that waiting for the next Treo might be a good idea. Eric just got a Blackberry and he seems initially excited about it. Are there any other great PDA/phones1 out there I should be…

When I built the FeedLounge web site, I didn’t start from scratch with the HTML and CSS like I normally do. I wanted to see what it would be like to work from the default WordPress HTML and CSS – only modifying it when I needed to. That has been a decidedly poor decision. The…

On Sunday morning I started feeling a little dizzy while I was golfing with a buddy of mine. The mild dizziness continued through the BBQ we hosted and into yesterday morning, then got much worse yesterday. Late in the afternoon, the dizziness was so bad that I suffered a reversal of fortune. While I’m not…

We pushed up a new version of FeedLounge today. I’ve been lending my detail oriented1 eye to the QA process in this release and I’m quite pleased at the progress we’re making. I feel like this release ties up pretty much all of the loose ends we still had floating about, and we can now…

Spent the day up in Vail today. A little golf in the morning, then a picnic and concert on the lawn with friends. I love being so close to the mountains here.

I’ve released a new version of my JavaScript Quicktags. I’ve been using this version for a while now, just hadn’t gotten around to packaging it up for release. This version has a few changes: A few additional tags, including an “External Link” tag that adds rel=”external” to the A tag. This can be used to…
