Why’s it been so quiet? Why so many reading lists, and so little editorial? I’ve been doing consulting work like a madman — I’ve got some doggy stuff to pay for, I’ve got some expensive toys I need for a job next month, and I’ve got a day job to …
Man, and I thought my Wordpress upgrade struggles were over.
So, you upgraded to 2.5 a few days ago, and you’re using the Default theme until you have time to customize another one. And you got rid of the old Statspress plugin because after you started getting over 10,000 pageviews a …
I bought Sins of a Solar Empire expecting it to be a Moo2 — but instead, I got a Starcraft. That’s not to say it’s a bad thing.
I have yet to play all three races, but the special abilities seem to be similar for all of them. From all …
My favorite time and billing application now tracks expenses. If you bill hourly for your work or sell products via the web, you really need to check out Freshbooks — it’ll make your life a lot easier.
Just as an example — last year my taxes took a weekend, with …
Joel Spolsky has made his company’s network-agnostic secure VNC application free on weekends. Cool!
Haven’t had a puppy post in a while. I got Eowyn a Good Cuz toy for Christmas, and … well, while it’s spent most of it’s time on top of the fridge because I can’t stand the squeaking for more than fifteen or twenty minutes at a time, …
I’m a big fan of the Mac-only developers that have released programmer tools over the past few years. OmniGroup makes OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner, two applications that are open in my tray more often than they’re closed. I feel the same way about Panic’s suite off applications, esp. Transport. The interfaces are FAR easier to use
Coda is Panic’s latest application, and is a text editor aimed at making web development easier. I have been a vim user for ages, but in a terminal window — I don’t like VIM’s gui for whatever reason. I’ve tried Dreamweaver, gVim, BBedit, TextMate, … just about everything under the sun, but I still keep coming back to vim. Coda has some improvements on all of these, but also some things that annoy the everloving heck out of me.
I’m always getting late fees at the library, so a pay-to-rent service like Bookswim would make sense to me. But at $15/mo for two books at a time, I’m not sure it’s worth it. Still, this is a GREAT service for those like the elderly without easy access to …
Jumpchart is Daring Fireball’s sponsor this week. Normally I wouldn’t repost a sponsored post (hey, it wasn’t me they paid), but I tried out out. More inside, but the general gist is that it’s a great idea, but there isn’t anything you can’t do with Google Docs — and the account tiers are so limited that if I want to work collaboratively with someone I’ll just do it in Google Docs instead for free.
WebDesignerWall covered some wordpress theme hacks … including some that are very helpful if you tend to use wordpress as a CMS like I sometimes do.
