Are You a Geek?
May 30th, 2004 · No Comments · fun stuff and good links
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]

May 30th, 2004 · No Comments · marketing, software
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]

Cringely disrupts the phone company
May 29th, 2004 · No Comments · gadgets and technology, software
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 [...]

Shame on the Apple Marketing Department
May 28th, 2004 · No Comments · apple, marketing
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 [...]

Shiira
May 27th, 2004 · 2 Comments · software
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…

Not much to report from CeBit or DMD
May 27th, 2004 · No Comments · gadgets and technology
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 [...]

Entourage: Lock Errors
May 27th, 2004 · No Comments · software
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 deactivate this [...]

RSS Router
May 26th, 2004 · No Comments · software
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 [...]

Something Better Than The Orange XML Icon
May 26th, 2004 · No Comments · software
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 [...]

Blo.gs Blogroll and Recent Links
May 26th, 2004 · No Comments · software
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?
May 26th, 2004 · 1 Comment · Personal
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 [...]

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, [...]

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]
