As I mentioned I am sticking it out here with WordPress as the system is very flexible, very easy to use and very fast. One issue I was having mentally with the shift was all my linkage externally from posts I’ve written on MT. I’ve tracked many new visitors from Google, Yahoo and [...]

I am getting pretty engrossed in WordPress and think I may switch over fully to it. I am not sure exactly how to deal with redirection of links from one to the other so I might just leave this site here and ask you to start browsing over at the new site.
If you read [...]

So far WordPress is a very cool system. It’s fully dynamic, which means that there is no rebuilding when you post, edit or delete - unlike MoveableType which can be a serious pain in the ass in that regard - not too mention a time hog if you find yourself tweaking (itself a time sucker) [...]

This is an interesting and low cost device for those who need to do backups of up to 3 SIM Cards. I don’t think I would ever use one as I sync through iSync.
My SIM card goes pretty unused (things are stored on the phone itself) other than network identification for T-Mobile. What [...]

For whatever reason I decided to mess around with WordPress and have to say at first glance it is very slick. The WordPress team has made a product that is very advanced, while maintaining a high degree of simplicity at the same time. I was able to edit my posts from an MT [...]

Joe Wilcox at the Microsoft Monitor has some solid insight and thought into Redmonds latest attempt to bundle game development tools for both XBox and Windows.
…I see inherent conflict between Microsoft the platform provider and Microsoft the applications developer. I would apply the same thinking to Microsoft the multiple platform provider. Microsoft must be careful [...]

Glenn posts some more detail on T-Mobile today and it seems their cost structure could be much lower than previously thought. As a carrier they get apparently get a very sweet deal on T-1 lines…
In his post, he notes that even when he was at Wayport, his average T-1 cost was $250 per [...]

Brent reveals what is quietly lurking for us with the next update in NetNewsWire…. I can’t wait. Looking forward to the beta when it is finally ready for testing.
I’m not going to tell you about all the new features today, but I will talk about two of them. (There are many more… this [...]

Just did this… If you are WAP-enabled… Only takes a few minutes to get set-up.
WAP is not just for the big sites. Movable Type’s template system mean that creating a WAP version of your MT Blog takes around ten minutes to set up. Once done, your WAP site automatically updates along with your main [...]

Sounds like Sony is going for it with the PSP - sounds like Nintendo has a solid competitor!
We’re not sure we can wait that long, but Sony says that PlayStation Portable will come out no later than March 31st of next year. They also released a few more details about the PSP, [...]

Speaking at recent online marketing conference hosted at Microsoft…

…Microsoft also unveiled a study on the effectiveness of online advertising. The company is using the study as the basis for an argument that companies spending about 1 percent of their advertising budget online should consider increasing that to 4 percent or 5 percent because people are [...]

Dear LazyWeb -
I love Mail Enhancer, which lets my dock see that there are unread messages in folders well beyond my inbox, but I’d love to see a hack that lets me filter out certain folders so I don’t have to see that there are unread spam messages waiting for deletion.
Anyone?

Deactivating the “catch-all” mailbox for my domain has instantly reduced the spam flow. No more messages for emails that do not exist. Instead spammers…you get to bounce!
There is still a great deal of spam to manage but Spam Assassin and Spam Sieve are taking care of business very nicely.

I have been a longtime paid user of LaunchBar which is a great way to keyboard your way around your Mac. Quicksilver is free and has a cleaner, more Mac-like feel to it. At first glance they seem to do pretty much the same thing. Free is good!
More new software to recommend [...]

Perhaps the use of Cable or DSL would have been a better investment for connectivity…
From my experience here in NYC, the Starbucks are hopping in the am and in the afternoon. I’ve found it impossible to even find a seat and noticed that there are many laptops open - I assume connected, though [...]

What I like most about this box is that for just a bit more than you would pay for a next-gen game system (when they first come out anyway) you get a lot more. I wonder what kind of impact this box will have… It’s got a nice window of opportunity before the PS3 [...]

Seems like Sandisk will lose the race to deliver a Palm driver if these guys are for real. While they are saying that OS 4 and 5 will be supported the tested devices are unfortunately only OS 4 for now…(correction - it does say all Tungsten models below) Guess we’ll have to wait [...]
