Linkitude

Mar152006

The previous post was the first on this site that was auto-generated by the del.icio.us “daily blog posting” feature. Geof has been doing this for a while, and I was already planning to do something like this on my own eventually, anyhow. But I hadn’t gotten a round tuit yet, and since I ran across a couple of links reminding me about this del.icio.us service yesterday, I decided to try it out. I’ve had a … Continue reading →

Zeldman on WordPress

Mar092006

Web guru extraordinaire, Jeffrey Zeldman, has spent the last 11 years hand-coding his web site and RSS feeds. No more —Zeldman has switched to WordPress. Now I’m even more miffed that I won’t get to attend AEA Atlanta. So, why did Zeldman choose WordPress? Not because it’s open source. Not because it’s free. He chose WordPress because it lets him write his content without getting in the way. To the extent that a content management … Continue reading →

Timing is everything

Mar032006

Our group’s management has told us before that if there is any kind of work-related training we’d like to take or conferences we’d like to attend, to let them know. So when An Event Apart Atlanta was announced in January, I put in a request the same day. After not hearing anything for about three weeks, I sent a reminder, and let them know that we could still make the deadline for a $50 discount. … Continue reading →

The Lyceum Project: Another multi-blog WordPress implementation

Mar012006

This is quite interesting — the ibiblio folks have announced The Lyceum Project. This is a multi-blog version of WordPress, but it is a different implementation from WordPress MU (which is the basis of wordpress.com). I was curious about what Lyceum was doing differently from WPMU, and that is addressed in their FAQ. And of course, since it’s based on WordPress, it is also GPLed, which means that the source is freely available. Their bug … Continue reading →

Sprint courting bloggers?

Feb282006

I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I’d have something about the Samsung A920 phone coming up. I don’t have the phone yet, but when I do I’ll surely be posting a review. But in the meantime, let me explain how and why I’m getting this phone, and do a little speculation… Yesterday morning, mixed in amongst my usual slew of automated system emails and the slurry of spams that make it through my filters, was … Continue reading →

Running in place

Feb272006

I’m still here. I’ve just been really busy lately. We’re going through some minor growing pains at my day-job, and it’s kept me really tied up. It’s nothing bad, just that the company is moving from a very loose and informal culture to a slightly more structured one. On the one hand, this means that we can’t have beer in the office anymore. But on the other hand, it means that other groups will quit … Continue reading →

Snow

Feb162006

Snow falling last Monday I originally wrote this up on Monday the 13th, but didn’t get to post it until now because I wound up tracking down a WordPress bug. Just about everyone knows about the blizzard up in the northeast last week. But we were down at the southern end of the weather system, where the snowfall was light, and welcomed as a rare treat by most folks. It began snowing on Saturday night … Continue reading →
