I updated my PwdHash page to tweak the CSS for mobile (webkit) browsers. It’s not quite a replacement for a native app on a mobile device, but it’s a lot better than the desktop version was. Feel free to use it if you like. This post is part of the thread: Passwords – an ongoing…

Can you set up an Airport Express to create a wired network as part of a larger network that the Express is connected to wirelessly? Yes, you can. I had a hard time tracking down this info so I thought I’d post it here for the benefit of others. I recently added a Sony Blu-Ray…

I’ve released a new version of Twitter Tools, my WordPress plugin that creates a full 2-way integration between your blog and your Twitter account. This release addresses two bugs: The use of the native json_decode() function, required by the changes in WordPress 2.9 (version 2.1) created a problem for users with servers running 32-bit PHP.…

I tried a Palm Pre on Sprint last year and it didn’t take. To be honest, I didn’t really try it as a primary device, I just played with it a bit and returned it. I’m going to give it another go – I have an appointment at the local Verizon to pick one up…

You aren’t going to need it. (YAGNI) – I believe very stronly in this. Simple code design makes it easier to refactor later when needed. Why you can never work ‘full time’ The Hickensian Hicksdesign – start a business and grow an appreciation for people that played other roles (marketing, support, management) in companies where…

Check out the overview, then go back and read a few of the gems that are already up there. It’s for a niche readership for sure, but it’s great stuff.

If you need to see all svn:externals in a directory structure, this is your huckleberry: svn propget -R svn:externals . Logging this here for my own future reference.

I agree that it’s needed but I disagree that it should be necessarily be built as Open Source (unless there is a full-time developer/malevolent dictator driving things – in which case, it could just as easily be built as a commercial app). Singularity of vision is too important in this type of product creation.

I’m a bit baffled by all of the late night TV shuffling, arguing, debating, etc. Are there still people that watch TV (besides sporting events) at their broadcast time? I’ve had a DVR since 2002 – I can hardly fathom watching TV another way.

Great iPhone v. Android summary from Corey.

I recently put new releases of my Twitter Tools plugin – basically patches so that it would work in WordPress 2.9 on versions of PHP prior to 5.2. This is an interesting situation, where I hadn’t really done anything wrong in the plugin and the WP core team hadn’t really done anything wrong in the…

I’d love to have a keyboard shortcut that would set focus on the first visible field. Y’know, for web apps/sites that don’t set focus properly when the page loads.
