This will be a short note because I am writing it on my iPhone's touch keyboard. But, I thought it fitting. Why? Because now I can write updates (however painfully) directly from the iPhone! Developed by Effigent for Automattic, it seems like a very sweet little app! You can ...
In Latin, mea culpa means, “my fault.” Mea – me, and culpa – culpable. In this case, I have to apologize for not updating in a few days. You can probably guess the reason why. Yes, I got an iPhone. A white 16GB model to ...
Ok, I’m going to try to keep this short and sweet. But first, let me tell you why.
I believe I have a problem, perhaps genetic, that does not allow me to make sentences shorter than originally written or determine when an article has gone on for too long, ...
Yesterday afternoon, I sat down with the goal of creating my first FeedBurner FeedFlare. I wasn’t sure just how hard it would be, so I was ready for a grind. As it turns out, creating a working FeedFlare was not that difficult.
A rare weekend post today, on a topic that most people probably will not find interesting and some people will find extremely awesome. I am speaking, of course, of the dozens of plugins, mods, and other bells & whistles that I have added to this blog over time.
Feel free ...
Just a quick newsworthy note, this site uses a community-based comment system called Disqus. I've been really happy with it so far, and they just made it better!
According to their blog, they now have more information in their popup profile. This is the bubble of info you get when ...
Along with the many tweaks that I can't prevent myself from doing every day to my blog (I'm hoping this tapers off after a while, actually), I realized that I had turned off allowing people to comment unless they were logged in to the site. For some reason, when ...
Every modern operating system comes with a web browser. On Windows, it is Internet Explorer. On a Mac, it's Safari. Linux usually comes with more than one, but usually has at least Firefox. All of these (arguably) are decent web browsers and do the job ...
I decided to take the plunge late last night (or early this morning, either way) and upgrade my WordPress install to version 2.5. It was actually a complete non-event. First, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Dreamhost had a one-button upgrade process to the new version already ...
I did a little theme browsing and I found one that I think I will stick with for a while. It is called Silver Light and it is created by Bob of Blogohblog. It really is much cleaner than my last theme and all of my existing plugins integrate well. ...
I'm up late tweaking this site again. Ok, so I've been up late almost every night this week but, hey, I'm excited about it. In any case, you should notice that I've pulled most of the ads I had up initially. I wanted a cleaner look and ...
It has generated a lot of buzz in the past year, but for many, what Twitter does is still a mystery.
Why do we need to log in somewhere just to type in a sentence worth of text?
Isn't that what Instant Messaging is for?
I heard it is just like Dodgeball.
I have ...
I switched from using AddToAny to ShareThis today. But let's back up. Why am I using a service like this anyway? Well, personally I don't like the "social bookmark" banner at the bottom of a lot of blogs - I think it looks cluttered. However, I ...
Over the weekend I spent probably too much time tweaking the appearance of this blog. I installed and tweaked a select list of WordPress plugins, got my Google ads set up the way I want them, etc. Actually, I could just do this for days -- partially because time just ...
I knew this would happen. I have gotten sucked into the tantalizing world of WordPress plug-ins, to the exclusion of writing content for the site. In the future, I will have to prioritize blogging over tweaking.
