I have been habitually behind in getting our open Source Maricopa Learning eXchange (MLX) into shape for others to use. As some have chided me, there is not much up at SourceForge but a place holder. We have an open demo version that will fold in the new changes as they continue to develop; but […]
While I am in love with my ipod and am not more intrigued by podcasts than my previous ramblings, I am not one who is taking the leap of assumption that the next great thing is going to be “video” iPods and “VideoCasts”. Nope, I am not convinced at all. I can easily be wrong, […]
flickr foto iLove myPodavailable on my flickr I am in love with my iPod Shuffle. Is that sick? I cannot say how cool the little Shuffle is, The experience of biking to work is like a brand new one, and I can even manage to get some joy out of running (which I hate doing). […]
As part of the blog transition I took a spin at creating a new tool that would create a WordPress search bookmarklet, more or less a quick re-do of the one I originally created for MovableType. It is even easier to construct for WordPress, as all you need to know is the base URL for […]
Previously I have documented the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) diagnosis of SpamNymphomania, the sad, desperate attempt to stick Porn Pill Casino links into any web form that contains a textarea and a submit button. In extremely sad cases, they continue to do so when there is no payoff at all, […]
Wow, another great WordPress characteristic– publishing entries from ecto to WordPress seems almost instantaneous! Previously, clicking “Publish” to MovableType was a minute or more of grinding as MT had to not only put content in the database, but crank through and republish indexes, entry pages, category pages, etc. With WordPress is just goes into the […]
Good writing. Personal viewpoints. That’s what its all about. Tom Caotes’ A Horseless Carriage provides a well written, personal perspective on the evolution of weblogs, but he writes not strictly about the history, and more on a broader definition This means that whatever you’re planning to use weblogs for, then you’ll fid them most naturally […]
Ok, chipping away more at the WP templates. One of my blog software critcisms is the notion that an “archive” listing is just a bunch of the posts in a category or date range all glued together (see “All Your Archives Are Wrong”). To be honest, I should poke more through the WordPress docs and […]
My tirade of being an iPodless podcaster are no more! That’s correct, pod fans, I have a new iPod Shuffle, courtesy of my Mom in Florida as a birthday gift– I had put it on my list of “wishes”, so in her words: I don’t know what it is or what it does, but the […]
Well, humph, Apple, is well, updating in a rather… um… “Redmondian” way. The OS X 10.3.9 update has done a few things to Safari (I still cannot find the supposed HTML editor, but viewing RSS feed URLs looks even worse in the browser window). But here is a real kicker. While updating my new blog […]
