Dougal Campbell's geek ramblings

Between projects at work (rolling out the largest indoor WiFi network in the world at a certain international airport near Atlanta) and projects at home (building more IKEA furniture — bed, dresser, chest, entertainment center, end tables, ottomans; doing what I can to help Suze prepare for Thanksgiving), I haven’t had much time for posting lately. But I’m making a minute to come up for a quick breath and note some of the things that have caught my attention lately:

• WordPress 2.0 beta (what, you thought it was version 1.6? Ha!)
• Feedlounge alpha 5 (faster, more new features)
• Feedlounge switches from MySQL to PostgreSQL
• American Edit (Dean Gray does mashups of songs from Green Day’s “American Idiot”) [Update Nov. 30: As I feared, American Edit has been taken offline due to legal threats from Warner Brothers. However, keep an eye out for Gray Day, on December 13…]
• Wayfaring
• Best. Christmas lights. Evar.

And of course, there are the big stories that I won’t bother linking to, because you can hardly visit a tech/link site without bumping into them: Google Base, Sony Rootkit DRM, Tivo video on iPod and PSP, etc.
