I spent pretty much the entire day at “networking” events. I started at the Front Range Brainjam event (thanks Dave, Derek and Brad for putting this together) and ended at the Denver Tech Meetup (thanks Steve for organizing). The Brainjam event was the first of its kind that I’d attended. Some of the things people…

Sometimes when I’ve got my nose down in code, I end up with dozens of things to blog about. Other times, like this week, I get nothing. Anyone else experience this1? Doesn’t have to be code, whatever your work of choice is. [back]

The next Denver Tech Meetup will be on Thursday. The last one was great, so if you’re in the Denver area, make sure you drop by. If you want, you can ask me about a little OS project I started coding today (that I’m not quite ready to blog about yet).

It was nice out, so I decided to prop open the back screen door so the pup could come and go as she pleased. 15 minutes later, there was a bird in the kitchen, flying into the windows as it tried to get out. Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea after all…

Macintosh Performance Comparison 2: Benchmark Result Tables – the MacBook Pro is a lot faster in processor intensive tasks, but disk speed still goes to the desktop. I think disk speed (RAID) in laptops is the next logical step. If the World Were Village of 100 Doonesbury 2006-02-26 The Value of Feeds (is shifting…) The…

I did a little cleanup on the OPML generated by FeedLounge today. The old OPML was basically the result of copying examples found in the wild, so I went through the necessary steps validating the output, reading the specs, and double-checking what I was seeing against NetNewsWire’s output. 🙂 I fixed most of the issues,…

As discussed yesterday, I’m a fan of tabbed interfaces. The only application I use with regularity that isn’t tabbed is my e-mail client. I don’t like using any type of three-pane view for e-mail, instead I open each message in a new window in Mail.app and Thunderbird1. Perhaps because of my style of mail client…

Great news for volleyball players in the Denver/Boulder area, the SportsOasis is re-opening1 in Broomfield in a new location (close to the old location actually) with a target date of April 14th. I’ve been playing 1-3 times a week at the SportsOasis for the last year and a half or so, and I’m quite glad…

I’ve written about tabbed interfaces in the past, and thankfully BBEdit, Path Finder and Transmit have all implemented tabs since then. Applications like Camino (and Firefox and Safari) and Adium already had tabs, so almost all apps I use now have tabbed interfaces. There is still one big hole in my tabbed arsenal, and I’ve…

I’ve hardly looked back since I upgraded from a 15″ PowerBook to a 17″ PowerBook, but there are a few times (often when travelling) when smaller would be more convenient. At Mashup Camp, I took an informal survey of the laptops I saw there. PowerBooks (and a few iBooks) were the laptop of choice, followed…

I’ve posted additional maintenence releases of Tasks Pro™ and Tasks. These release fix reported bugs in the previous .6 releases. Changes in both Tasks Pro™ and Tasks: Annual recurring tasks are created properly. iCalendars properly include completed tasks. The “Server Time Difference” setting is used for the Upcoming screen. When deleting a parent task, apply…

Over the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about my mobile computing solutions, and thinking about making some changes. First the PDA/cell phone side of things. I’ve used a Treo for the last 4 years, before that I had a separate cell phone and Palm. I’ve been increasingly restless with my Treo lately – I…
