The logs coming in from the Link Harvest debug edition I released last night haven’t shown me anything conclusive yet. Current hunches for the issue include: Script timing out. Bad Behavior blocking things. Plugin incompatibility. Certain media types causing trouble (a link to an MP3 file for example). PHP version incompatibility. I’ve put up a…

Some folks are having trouble with my Link Harvest plugin not harvesting all their links. Since it works fine on all my test machines, I’ve added some logging to a special version to hopefully discover why it isn’t working for them. To use this special debugging version you need to follow these steps: Install the…

I’ve created a little feedback form that I’m sending to clients once I’ve completed their job. Nothing fancy or formal, just an opportunity for me to get some feedback and for them to share anything they’d like me to know. I sent my first one last week. Here is the e-mail: Hi Joe– In an…

I’m following this closely. If the pricing swings back towards the pre-launch rate, I’m in.

I tell ya, this sync thing needs to work or it’s just a pain in the arse. I’ve gotten rid of Plaxo because I had the same problem I had with Zimbra – it was silently deleting my data. As far as I can tell, if there were two “Home E-mail”s (or any type of…

This is exactly how I expected the Firefox plugin to behave, and it didn’t. I like it so far – make sure to install the bookmarklet.

…Pair nickels and dimes us for add-ons like installing Subversion ($50). That’s a lot of money for something we could do ourselves if we just had the access, and this used to grate on me. Now, however, I have a different mindset: we’re paying a sysadmin in discrete chunks. He gets $50 for his task and we know it will be done right.
The mindset change generally coincides with the shift from having more time to having more money – your time becomes much more valuable at that point.

I’m giving Twitter a try this week. My account.

Link Harvest is a WordPress plugin that uses the content in your posts and pages to build a links list for you, based on the sites you actually link to. You can see it in action on my Links page I created this to help me better leverage my content as part of my recent…

Continuing on my browser thread from last week, another browser trend is the recent growth of browsers that need to be supported/tested on. Since IE 4 or so, the number of browsers out there seemed to be shrinking. It was easier when you just had to make sure things looked right in IE 6, Firefox…

Adium’s Screwed Up Log Viewer – I’ve got to +1 this; it’s one of the only areas of Adium that is lacking, so it sticks out like a sore thumb. Jet Man – I’d like one of these for my birthday. 🙂 Dear Panic, Thanks for Transmit +1, but I really hope they get a…

If five Ruby on Rails sites utilize the same script.aculo.us library for effects you’ll have to download the same file(s) five times from each of the five different domains. Centralized resources such as YUI Hosting create a single download source requiring one file download regardless of the number of sites taking advantage of the YUI library.
The URLs are beautifully versioned and everything – this is very nice.

Interesting issue – I’ve added a little blurb to my comment form accordingly:

The way some folks use a bazillion browser tabs isn’t the only difference between the way I use my browser and the way some of my friends do. I know lots of folks that love their browser plugins. They’ve got session-savers, 3rd party integration toolbars and plugins up the wazoo. They rely on these tools…

At the Denver Tech Meetup a while back, I discovered I was in the extreme minority in my browser usage style. My browser tabs are almost completely transient to me. I don’t keep pages open to read for longer than an hour or so, or keep a tab open to a webmail client or feed…
