Sushi Etiquette
Apparently, I’ve been doing it wrong…
Ecto Updated to 1.1.7
Ecto has been updated again… and now includes Movie upload as well as a much more responsive image preview if you are viewing a larger iPhoto library. chaotic intransient prose bursts has the detail as usual…
Are You a Geek?
Geek good. Dork bad. It is funny how terms that were originally mean to be derogatory eventually are embraced by the group with the label. Sometimes the term flips 180 degrees and becomes complementary. Such it is with “geek” which now seems to be synonymous with “extremely proficient with” (as in “computer geek”). [mecurious]
Yahoo Groups officially do RSS now
Google Groups do Atom and now Yahoo does RSS. Syndication all around… I noticed that Yahoo is now including an RSS 2.0 feed with every Yahoo Group. Nice. It even includes an orange XML icon. [John Robb’s Weblog]

Web design from Scratch looks like a great write up in simple terms for you or your clients.
Cringely disrupts the phone company
I have actually been thinking about replacing my Apple Airport (Gray, second one) and Linksys Router with a single device and the Linksys WRT54G seems like the way to go for 802.11G capabilities at a price much lower than Apple’s Extreme base station. I’d heard of hacking the thing, but had no idea that the … Read moreCringely disrupts the phone company
WordPress and what’s coming…
Matt shares the vision for what lies ahead! Bring it on!!
Shame on the Apple Marketing Department
So perhaps it’s not the worst offense, but it is quite surprising that I received an email with a 60 Day free offer to .sign up for .Mac as an existing customer! I don’t need and probably can’t even use the 60 day free trial to extend my account as the link bypasses my stored … Read moreShame on the Apple Marketing Department
SyncAgain!
Thinking about a Blackberry, but were hesitant as a Mac user… worry no more! This changes everything! SyncAgain seems to be the first Mac based solution for Blackberry sync and installation — including wireless updates! Epicad, a wireless application software developer and services provider, is pleased to announce the upcoming availability of SyncAgain, the first … Read moreSyncAgain!
Shiira
Shiira is Japanese browser based on webkit and seems to be pretty damn similar if not the same as Safari. I would be hard pressed to point out any differences in the few minutes I tried other than these few details… Keyboard Shortcuts for bookmarks in the bar don’t work You can use your safari … Read moreShiira
Not much to report from CeBit or DMD
Sandro and I checked out the shows today with a free pass for CeBit and found the floor to be almost depressingly quiet. The main (actually only) highlight was a very quick hands on with the OQO 01. Sorry we talked about but honestly spaced pictures as we only had a minute or two to … Read moreNot much to report from CeBit or DMD
Entourage: Lock Errors
Still trying things…I’ve discovered a setting in Entourage which I thought might help others who are using or trying it in IMAP mode… For some reason certain IMAP servers (like mine) do not like to have commands sent simultaneously and with this on, you’ll notice quite a few connection errors as I previously noted. To … Read moreEntourage: Lock Errors
RSS Router
The idea as I understand it is this: your feedreader, like your browser and email app, is a hub of information. It makes sense to want to route information from the hub to other applications. You might want to store something in a database, send an email based on a news item, send a news … Read moreRSS Router
Something Better Than The Orange XML Icon
It’s definitley time for this…if not exactly, someting similar that let’s syndication really take off on a much broader scale. For RSS to be truly mainstream, subscribing to a web page needs to be a simple as printing. When I want to print a web page, I don’t have to go scroll through the page … Read moreSomething Better Than The Orange XML Icon
Blo.gs Blogroll and Recent Links
Markku at rebelpixel has been busy… Today he released a plugin which lets you use your blo.gs file — I am currently using blogrolling, but perhaps I can either adopt this of just switch over to blog.gs (my file is a bit out of date there). He also released an update to wp-recent-links…
Are you addicted to blogging?
I don’t know whether I am addicted, but I’d have to say that I feel the urge (so perhaps it’s just a compulsion…) to track, report and discuss what I find. I do feel more “pressure” to read what’s new in my aggregator than I do in my email these days and this often leads … Read moreAre you addicted to blogging?
WP Location Manager
One of the interesting features of WordPress is that it can track where you are when you post for GeoURL compatibility. This plugin lets you adjust it quickly while you are travelling… The Location Manger is a utility add-on for WordPress 1.2, that allows you to save latitude and longitude pairs with a name, url, … Read moreWP Location Manager
Comcast: Telephony Everywhere
Comcast, the largest US cable operator with 21.5 million subscribers, said on Wednesday it will offer telephone service to more than 40 million households by 2006 (where it’s getting the other 18.5 million households is unclear). Comcast said it would begin an aggressive roll-out of VOIP, or Voice-over-Internet protocol using cable modems. [Daily Wireless]
