Note: This post will be updated as I go through the initial set-up process. All plugged in and… go! Wow, start up was fast. Man, this hard drive is noisy… I bet it will be worse when I add another one. No dead pixels that I can see – awesome! Ok, everything booted up –…

I was patient for over a month… finally had enough waiting. I’m setting it up now. In a beautiful stroke of irony, my original order could not be cancelled online – likely because it is finally being built (yes, I checked that it hadn’t shipped before I went and bought one locally). I’ll have to…

People are talking about full content vs. partial content feeds again. To me this seems like a complete non-issue – and a simple one at that. Feeds are new technology, the old guard is scared and slow to adopt. Remember in the early days of the web when newspapers wouldn’t put their content online? Same…

Our original plans for finishing the basement included the removal of the basement door. During the process though, we decided it might be nice to be able to close that door some of the time – a perfect example was a few weeks ago when we hosted a baby shower for friends of ours and…

I’ve posted the first release candidates for Tasks Pro™ 1.6 and Tasks 2.6. There are a few changes in these releases since the last beta releases. Important note: If you were previously using a beta version of a .6 release, one of these changes (the addition of the billable option for tasks created from e-mails)…

I called the local Apple Store here in Denver today, and they have a Quad in stock. They speculated that the delay on my order may be due to a shortage of wireless cards. As my order isn’t even supposed to ship for another week and a half (assuming it doesn’t get delayed again), I’m…

I’m surprised at how useful I’m finding the new “create task from e-mail” feature in the upcoming release of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. This was a frequently requested feature, but not one that I thought I’d use that much myself. Turns out, I was wrong. 🙂 I haven’t yet set up any automatic task creation…

I’ve updated all my FeedLounge Greasemonkey scripts and bookmarklets to work with the latest FeedLounge release (alpha 5). There are scripts that take the currently selected item in FeedLounge, and: post it to del.icio.us populate an e-mail create a new task in Tasks Pro™ or Tasks append a link (suitable for a link dump, like…

I’ve scaled back my RSS ads experiment to show ads in half of my posts instead of every post. So far, the RSS ads are a dismal failure – averaging barely one click a day. Some feedback I’ve gotten from friends indicates this could be due to the ads being completely irrelevant to the content.…

Went up to Keystone to go snowboarding today. While it was great to get out on the slopes, I think I’ll wait for a few more inches before I go back again. I’m going to be sore tomorrow. 🙂

I’d love to be able to subscribe to RSS or iCalendars for concerts in my area by artists I like… someone has got to be offering this, right?

WordPress does a pretty good job making things configurable just about everywhere – either via plugin or options in the admin side of things. There are a few exceptions however, and I was wondering if it would be reasonable to consider an semi-hidden group of settings similar to those you can access in Firefox via…

Now that my Quad has been delayed, I will likely receive it on a date that is more than 30 days since I received the 30″ display, and the additional hard drive and RAM. If I have trouble with the display, hard drive or RAM it will be a lot more difficult to return/exchange them…
