• A Glorious Four Days

    Posted on July 20, 2005

    I’m starting a new job with a startup company on Thursday. I would be starting it today, but I have a bunch of errands to run, a dentists appointment, and I’m giving a presentation this evening at the ACM that I still need to do some prep for. My four... [Read More]

  • Talkie talkie talkie

    Posted on July 17, 2005

    One of the things that Seni talks about is the difference between “talkers” and “doers”. Russ and Seni have been talking about the idea for a long time, but it’s relatively new to me and it’s crept into a bunch of conversations recently. The original context of the conversation was...

  • Last day at Feedster

    Posted on July 15, 2005

    Today was my last day over at Feedster. It’s been a great experience working there. It’s had ups and downs, but that always happens in a startup when you’re trying to do spectacular things. Mostly there have been ups, and I’ve learned a fantastic amount. Particularly from having worked with... [Read More]

  • Back in the Land of the Living

    Posted on June 14, 2005

    I reinstalled Linux on one of my systems at home. The fileserver is a permanent install Fedora, but not really usable as a desktop system. So I reclaimed the Windows machine that I was using for Symbian and Palm development and installed Gentoo. OS X is a great work system,... [Read More]

  • That Made My Head Hurt

    Posted on June 13, 2005

    It started as a joke to Noel about the spam I get touting 532 nanometer green lasers available in bulk. That ranks up there with the spam for industrial conveyor belts. Do people needing large numbers of green lasers and industrial supplies go looking around in spam for their purchasing... [Read More]

  • KRON Blogger Meetup

    Posted on June 12, 2005

    We went over to the blogger meetup at KRON yesterday. It was pretty much what I expected out of the event. The KRON folks were surprisingly and refreshingly honest in saying they had no idea what to do about blogging, but they want to start getting involved in the community.... [Read More]

  • Tag Tuesday

    Posted on June 10, 2005

    I saw Tantek’s post about Tag Tuesday. Cool stuff! There are a whole bunch of gatherings and get-togethers and parties and roundtables, it just feels like a very exciting time. Unfortunately I can’t make it to all of them, but I will be at the Tag Tuesday meeting. Feedster has... [Read More]

  • Technorati Beta

    Posted on June 10, 2005

    Niall messaged me last night to show off the beta site they’ve been working on at Technorati. Very cool stuff!! One of the first things I noticed was the subscribe option for tags, so that you can get items associated with a tag output as RSS. I like the layout... [Read More]

  • Open Source Blogging App for Palm

    Posted on June 9, 2005

    I pulled all the registration code and have posted both executable and source code for Vagablog. It’s a simple blog posting tool for Palm devices. I’m actually posting this from my 650 to test out the latest build. There’s a lot more functionality that should be in there. But you... [Read More]

  • Missed Mobile Monday

    Posted on June 7, 2005

    Hey all, sorry I wasn’t able to make the Mobile Monday meeting last night. I set it all up, but then I wasn’t able to make it myself. I just had way more than is reasonable or humanly actionable to do at work. Kinda makes me sad, but mostly makes... [Read More]
