Some excellent questions have come in from my previous post: is it a fixed rate for the life of the loan or does it float? I’m only looking at fixed rate loans. What are the fees (this includes fees that are rolled into the loan amount, not just out of pocket costs)? This is a…

I’ve gotten calls from a non-confoming lender in San Jose, CA1 offering me a mortgage rate that is quite a bit lower (4.5-4.75% was his guess2) than our current rate (5.375%). The lender claims that they can offer this kind of rate because they are the bank as well and they don’t have te overhead…

I’ll be offline for most of Thursday and Friday for a little mini-vacation. 😎

I’ve made some good headway on a new feature for the next release of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. This is one of the first times I’m basically writing all the code completely separately from the existing codeline (I’m building it as a standalone library) and will then integrate it once it’s pretty much done. I’m…

My post about my experience upgrading to WordPress 2.0.x has generated some interesting comments. Some folks are considering sticking with 1.5.2 indefinitely. There is one simple reason why you should upgrade: security. The 1.5 branch of WordPress isn’t getting the security patches that the current development branch is1. And even if someone were vigilantly applying…

This is a more detailed list of the issues I ran into when upgrading from WordPress 1.5.2 to 2.0.2, including the solutions I used. A rewrite rule that generates a URL like index.php?pagename=foo no longer works in all cases. The pagename must now include the parent page: ?pagename=bar/foo where ?pagename=foo used to work fine. I…

I participated in a charity bowl-a-thon for Junior Achievement this afternoon. This year’s event was even better than last year’s. We raised over $8000 for JA!

Yesterday WordPress version 2.0.2 was released, fixing several security issues. If you haven’t upgraded already, you should go do so. I spent most of my Friday upgrading WordPress installations (this blog, my Golf blog, the FeedLounge site and the King Design site). For the most part, everything went smoothly – however there were a few…

I spent pretty much the entire day at “networking” events. I started at the Front Range Brainjam event (thanks Dave, Derek and Brad for putting this together) and ended at the Denver Tech Meetup (thanks Steve for organizing). The Brainjam event was the first of its kind that I’d attended. Some of the things people…

Sometimes when I’ve got my nose down in code, I end up with dozens of things to blog about. Other times, like this week, I get nothing. Anyone else experience this1? Doesn’t have to be code, whatever your work of choice is. [back]

The next Denver Tech Meetup will be on Thursday. The last one was great, so if you’re in the Denver area, make sure you drop by. If you want, you can ask me about a little OS project I started coding today (that I’m not quite ready to blog about yet).

It was nice out, so I decided to prop open the back screen door so the pup could come and go as she pleased. 15 minutes later, there was a bird in the kitchen, flying into the windows as it tried to get out. Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea after all…
