Even though Camino is doing very well, I finally decided to switch to Firefox in order to use the PwdHash extension (as previously discussed).

This has happened more than a few times to me recently: Reading a blog Ooh, that link looks interesting Oh, it’s a podcast Nevermind… Sorry, I can read faster than you can talk, and most of you are more organized in your written words than you are in your speech. A podcast is a double-whammy…

Yahoo! Pipes lets any Yahoo! registered user enter a set of data inputs and filter their results. You might splice a feed of your latest bookmarks on del.icio.us with the latest posts from your blog and your latest photographs posted to Flickr.
As usual, Niall has one of the best write-ups on the latest cool thing. Tough competition for the Feed Rinse guys. I look forward to checking this out in depth sometime next week when things are a bit less hectic.

Don’t overvalue ideas – it’s all about execution.
A big +1 on this. Just sitting around riffing with friends we almost always come up with 2-3 viable ideas in a few hours. If only I had the time to pursue them all…

It appears that my e-mail has been pretty much broken today – not at FastMail, on my own box. Hopefully it will be back soon. Apologies to anyone I haven’t gotten back to, I probably haven’t gotten your e-mail yet. UPDATE: E-mail seems to be fixed now – bear with me while I get caught…

A number of my friends have been asking what finally happened with my hard drive disaster. I believe it’s finally over and done with (the comment added yesterday by Mark Tessin’s son1 notwithstanding), though it didn’t turn out exactly has I’d hoped. By far, the best things to come of this are: A huge reinforcement…

It’s taken me 3 years to get to this point, but I’m finally able to “turn off” my business e-mail in the evening and on weekends. This has been a very liberating thing for me. I stick the e-mails in a “To Reply” folder and address them first thing in the morning the next business…

Steve brought up some interesting points when I spoke with him about my passwords post and Dan dropped by and left a comment with a few alternative suggestions (most of which I pretty strongly disagree with). I realize I didn’t go into much detail in my previous post as to why I’m making a big…
