  1. EV-DO Card

    This weekend I badly missed my old EV-DO connection. I’ve pretty well decided that I need to bite the bullet and get an EV-DO card. I don’t have a lot of monthly business expenses, and getting stuck without an internet connection is a big problem for a one-man shop. The question now is how best…

  2. Around the web

    Web hosting company jokes about downtime and SLA’s Email as we know it is doomed. Ambient Intimacy – I love it. FastMail.FM – Next stage of the spam war String Master Robotic Guitar tuner tecosystems – What is Open Source? The Q&A and What is Open Source? The Follow Up Guide Browser – Couchville.com –…

  3. Link Harvest Debug Results

    The debug versions of Link Harvest have yielded a mess of inconsistent data. It appears that the link harvest action can fail for any number of reasons. Some of them: PHP running out of memory. Hitting the script execution time limit. Downloading a media file (.mp3, .mov, etc.). Overzealous firewalls and plugins like Bad Behavior.…

  4. Text Link Ads Sponsorship

    Text Link Ads1 has renewed their sponsorship of this site for another month. Again, I’ve agreed to this arrangement with Text Link Ads because I’ve been using their service as a publisher for more than a year now and have had a very positive experience with it. If you’re looking for an easy way to…

  5. Twitter Tools Roadmap

    Many thanks to everyone who stopped by and shared an opinion on how they think a Twitter integration WordPress plugin should work. I’ve started coding on the project and here are some of the decisions I’ve made and features it will have: Tweets will be stored in a separate table because this gives us the…

  6. Google Search History Annoyance

    I turned on Google Search History because I figured it might be useful to have this data available at some point in the future. However the implementation of the feature has be about ready to turn it off. I was rather accustomed to doing a search for something, right clicking on the result I wanted…

  7. Schedule Change?

    As far back as I can remember, I’ve always been partial to a later schedule. I often stay up late working and sleep in until 8 or 9 depending on how late I was up the previous night. I probably only set my alarm clock once or twice a month. Luckily my work offers me…

  8. A Week of Twittering

    I’ve used Twitter for the last week – my account is here – (primarily through Twitterrific) and it’s been an interesting experience. I’d looked at Twitter a couple of times before hand, but never really thought it was that interesting. I’m not going to go visit a web site a couple of times a day…

  9. Blank Slate →

    That is how I built my site as well (both this version and the previous version) – start in Photoshop and an XHTML page, then fit in the functionality I want.

    Adam Tow asked me if I start from Kubrick and make changes when I create themes for clients. I don’t, I often use Sandbox as a starting point now. Sandbox gives you a nice XHTML skeleton with no styling.

  10. Around the web

    Camino 1.1 Beta – I do miss Camino now that I’m on Firefox. A Glimpse and a Hook – I’m happy to say I haven’t even looked at my resume in about 4 years now. A body of work says much more than a resume ever will. Irony of the Day – heh. Subtraction: Writing…
