2007

  1. Around the web

    geek ramblings – Twitterings – it’s really enjoyable to watch people get sucked in to Twitter. 🙂 Typing and Coding Like A Monkey! – loving the new version in pre-release. 0 + 1307 – I read the original post with interest 1307 days back. The desk I want for Christmas – looks yummy. Using a…

  2. Yahoo! Shortcuts (beta)

    Over the last few months Crowd Favorite has had the opportunity to work with some great people at Yahoo! to create a rather unique WordPress plugin: Yahoo! Shortcuts. This is probably the most ambitious plugin I’ve helped build, and I think it will be really useful for a number of bloggers out there. Basically it…

  3. Around the web

    The Troubles With OpenID 2.0 Weekend update | Eric Cheng’s Journal – someone needs to write the canonical “how to social network responsibly” post. David Fiderer: Chris Matthews Rewrites History about the Clintons and the Origins of the Iraq War – Media on The Huffington Post YouTube – Here Comes Another Bubble – awesome, especially…

  4. Starting to “get” Skitch

    When I first saw Skitch, I have to admit I really didn’t get it. For some reason, it just didn’t resonate with me and I didn’t see a real need/use for it. I think part of the reason is the consumer oriented web site, packaging, etc. – marking up photos and sending them to friends…

  5. A Day in the Life

    Today’s schedule: 7:30am – wake up, shower 7:45am – read and respond to e-mail 8:00am – status call with Mike, who has bigger things on his mind at the moment 8:20am – more e-mail 8:50am – eat breakfast 9:00am – drive in to office 9:30am – debugging and more e-mail 11:00am – client call 12:00pm…

  6. Around the web

    Do not download WordPress themes distributed by 3rd party sites – this is why running the theme competition I ran was so much work. I personally reviewed every theme for security issues. [procksi] – Best Ron Paul Video Yet – Now this is the Republican message the country should be embracing. A List Apart: Articles:…

  7. Public Knowledge Bases

    One thing you learn rather quickly when you release and support software is that the faster you answer questions the more questions you receive. Fast e-mail responses often lead to fast responses on the other end and you end up engaged in a psuedo real-time conversation. Being responsive to customers is important, but if you’re…

  8. Introducing Peter Gornell

    Crowd Favorite has grown again, this time adding someone with the skills to help us keep up with all the fun stuff we’re working on. I’m very pleased to announce that Peter Gornell has joined us to take over our project management responsibilities. As we’ve been growing, communication and project management has become more and…

  9. dompdf: Easy PDF generation with PHP

    A week and a half ago I started looking into PDF generation with PHP. As my friends pointed out, this can be a somewhat arduous process. Since I was working on a deadline1, I decided the best solution would be to create a nice printable view that I could create PDFs from, then come back…

  10. Around the web

    Re-examining priorities – thinking I need to rededicate myself to finding time to blog. Lately I find time to Twitter, but not blog. Checking CodeIgniter out of the Subversion Repository – all good OS projects need public SVN. Amazon Kindle Real-Life Review (Verdict: Lightweight, Long Lasting and Easy to Grip… In Bed) Safari Microformats plugin…
