I hate it when people forward bogus warnings… but this one is real, and it’s important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list: If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a survey on deer ticks and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with…

This evening (one week since my first attempt), I was successfully able to sign up at Blinksale. During the week, I received two e-mails from Blinksale support: “Sorry, we think this is our problem. We’ll have someone get in touch.” “Actually, the problem is with your credit card.” Since I use this card quite regularly…

I’ve written up most of the documentation (12 new pages) for the new features in Tasks Pro™ 1.6 – enough that I can release a beta next week once I’ve done some more in-depth testing. 🙂 This post is part of the project: Tasks Pro™. View the project timeline for more context on this post.

My post on the FeedLounge blog discussing contextual ads has spawned some interesting conversation in the comments. Several people feel it would be a very bad thing to put advertising in a feed reader, others don’t have an issue with it. I’m not going to try to tackle everything here, but I thought it would…

Anyone have good/bad things to say about Domains by Proxy? If I were to use them, I could save $50/year by not needing my PO Box.

I spent nearly a week getting the last part of the last big feature for the next version of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks working, but it seems to be finally working! Now I’m writing the database upgrade scripts (lots of changes from the ADOdb port) and, after some testing, it should be ready to release…

I recall having some conversations years ago with friends back at the BigCo in the Bay Area about gas prices. We were wondering what the price per gallon would need to rise to for people to actually change their driving habits. I recall my estimate was $4-5/gallon. With gas prices exceeding $3/gallon in some areas,…

On Friday I tried to sign up for Blinksale. I have a working-but-clumsy way of handling invoicing and I’d certainly pay $6/month for a better solution. Unfortunately, though I tried to sign up, I couldn’t. Instead I got this error: Card Number and/or payment information was invalid.: I’ve double and triple checked the information I’m…

Today the crew started putting up sheetrock in the basement. Walls! We’ve almost got walls! 🙂 A couple weekends ago I helped a friend put sheetrock in their attic as they are working to turn it into a master bedroom. The attic project was a bit tricky because the ceiling sloped in from the walls…

I’ve been using my Aeron chair for about 2 and a half months now, and I’m quite happy with my decision to go with it. The chair is comfortable all the time, but when I settle in with the footrest and get into proper position for work at my desk, it is really comfortable. The…
