Thanks to a for:cogdog tag in del.icio.us from D’Arcy, I am currently auto messaging my Twitter account just by publishing this post. Nice! Now I might keep twittering a bit longer.
This is done by courtesy of Vicissitude’s Twitter Updater WordPress plugin where you can specify your account, what activities it triggers updates for, [...]

Small new feature for Google Personal Home page fans– If you use the module for displaying RSS feeds, in addition to getting headlines from your feeds, now you get expandable summaries as well. Just click the little plus sign, and stories expand, click again to collapse.

Not earth shattering, and not that i use this for [...]

Alexander’s laws of Hotels is upheld- the bigger, the more expensive the hotel, the more troublesome and weak is the internet connectivity. Ditto for the CNN Omni.
It seems as though they throttle upload speeds to selected sites- I ftp-ed a 25 Mb audio file in 2.5 minutes, but uploads to flickr get to 68k [...]

Yet another instance where an attempt to use the Windows XP operating system has rendered it toast on the bottom side of my MacBookPro. Fortunately, I have a reliable OS on the front side.
It’s bad enough that my latest web design effort includes 30% of the time developing and testing in a web standard browser, [...]

Note: I guess I was wrong here in my assertions below. Don’t miss Greg’s comment below. Can I still be eligible for the prize drawing?
Cue up the guitar riff from Warren Zevon…

I’m still thumbs up on using Google Reader — remember kids, there is no “best” web application, and just because I say its great does not mean something else might work better for you. Not only am I prone to be wrong, but there is just no way in the fast changing webscape for anyone [...]

Most bloggers want comments, eh?
After jumping through account forms, questionably readable captchas, how much is one’s spirit to comment crushed when a site mis-labels it as spam, and eats the entire comment. I was unable to overcome these obstacles yesterday.
This started when I read Graham Atwell’s post on Creativity costs money in Second Life… [...]

Not sure if the net really even noticed, but for the last few days CogDogBlog was been Four Oh Four, off-line, DOA, kaput, flat-lined.
It is almost ironic- on my plane flight out from Phoenix to Austin, a thought floated in my mind that I had not recently showed my gratitude to Audree, a colleague from [...]

No web form open to comments goes un-spammed, so its no surprise that via 2 different YouTube accounts I have, that there have been a spate of unwarranted, message spam porn links from folks like “goodlife100″ and “xacana10″. Sadly, YouTube, awash in Googlebucks, seems ill equipped to do anything about this. It’s hard to even [...]

Sorry Atlanta, you are a fine city, but I can hardly refrain from recommending to anyone to avoid airplane connections at your airport. My 1:45 flight from Baltimore here landed an hour late, and despite Delta’s announcements that “connecting flights had been notified”, they did not relay this to my Austin connection, which left without [...]
