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…

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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Obviously, I think this is a good idea.

Awesome, just awesome!

Last night I started thinking about the content I am creating on Twitter and how I’d like to keep a copy of that data. My initial thought is to create a plugin that would check my Twitter (JSON – yay!) feed every hour or so and save a copy of new tweets in a new…

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…

For those that don’t know, So I Married an Axe Murderer is the best Mike Myers movie ever. To anyone who disagrees: two words, therapy. End of discussion. 😉

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.

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…

Another good reason to use an SVN checkout. Kudos to Matt for a direct and clear explanation of the problem and solution. I’d expect no less.
