Wow – I just had one of the most unpleasant exchanges of my life with a lady (who shall remain unnamed) at Anubis Marketing. I mean, this was completely surreal. She’s trying to convert a Moveable Type blog to WordPress for one of her customers, and since she “doesn’t know anything about Moveable Type” (her…

The fact that an upgrade released this week introduced this Bluetooth crippling for the Cingular 8700c is a bit scary to me.

I’ve released version 1.3 of my Share This plugin for WordPress. This version has two main changes: Support for a Share This link in feeds via a custom page that presents the Share This information along with the post content. This also works for mobile visitors and visitors that have JavaScript disabled in their browser.…

My recent RAM shortage has had an interesting side effect. Instead of leaving a dozen or so apps open at once, I quit apps when I’m done using them. This has left me with a less cluttered workspace and more focus on the task at hand. Of course it also means that the apps I’m…

I’ve created a web site for the Share Icon project: shareicons.com. I’ve released the icon concept under four licenses (quad-licensed): GPL LGPL BSD Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Right now I’ve got my initial icon concept up there since that is the one that got the most support here. This isn’t to say that this design…

I added little comment icons and put in the share icon for my Share This links. I had icons on links like this in my previous design and was kind of glad to be rid of them in the new design. However, I think these work OK. This post is part of the following projects:…

Yet another cautionary tale about getting what you pay for and the dangers of the low bid. I’ve priced myself out of a few gigs recently, and every time I’ve ultimately been very glad the client decided to go with someone else.

When I got my desktop machine a little over a year ago, I had to send the 3rd party RAM (from Other World Computing – great service and people, but I don’t trust their RAM anymore) back twice before I could boot up the machine with the RAM in it. I’ve had intermittent video artifacting…

I’m glad to see the conversation started, but I’m not wild about the concepts here (yet). The OpenID logo definitely needs to be available and clickable in the non-OpenID form.

The OS X Virtualization Weekend FastMail.FM weblog – Interface irony – interface conventions are definitely in flux. The Sand Trap .com: Bag Drop: A Lightning Detector You Can Carry – too bad it’s so expensive.

It took them a little while, but NBC has indeed put up a clean MP3 of the fantastic jazz rendition of O Holy Night that aired on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip last monday night. While it was frustrating not being able to find it right away, I’m thrilled that they have made it…

A week ago I talked about some things I don’t like (and the reasons why) about some of the features of FeedBurner‘s feed service1. Some folks thought I was trying to badmouth FeedBurner on some personal vendetta, and nothing could be further from the truth. I merely ran smack into some old concerns in a…

I’m trying to experience more OpenID stuff since I really like everything I’ve heard about it. To this end I recently signed up for a TypeKey account; to see what it’s like firsthand. Unfortunately, my first experience was less than stellar. I started off here: and clicked the TypeKey link. That link took me to…

We seem to have a sub-optimal server configuration right now which is resulting in intermittent downtime. We’re working on getting that fixed. Thanks for your patience when things go wonky.

I wrote about setting up redundant e-mail services a few months ago. Since then, FastMail1 has had some ups and downs with another rough patch and then rolling out their own replicated systems to help avoid future problems. I’m still with FastMail. The combination of laziness on my part (I’m really quite happy with the…
