• Technorati Claimage

    So I got my new Technorati Profile kicking, and I’m feeling pretty spiffy. But I notice that when I upload a picture it’s all smushed and mangled, and that I can’t remove the image so I just have to put up one of Ed instead, and that their javascript inclusion... [Read More]
  • Update Complete

    And here you have it, the updated Bitsplitter Blog. The minimalist view is still the default, but now featuring such coolness as valid XHTML, valid CSS, and a valid RSS2 feed.

  • Test Posting From Vagablog

    Just trying out Vagablog with my spankin new WordPress 1.0.2 install. Looks like it still expects the category as a number … I don’t like that. But in general the upgrade was smooth as silk. Go WordPress!!
  • New Version of WordPress

    I just installed the 1.0.2 release of WordPress (kick ass open source weblog software). I need to go through and revamp the pages so that I have my minimalist PDA friendly layout working again. Everything should be back to normal again pretty soon.

  • Public Authoring and Geolocation

  • Solutions not Acronyms

    A post from The Feature indicates that the mobile market might be waking up to presenting better value propositions to users. The signs mentioned in the article are great, and I’m happy to hear about it. But I would personally like to see many of the crappy mobile service commercials... [Read More]

Lots of other people have contributed to the conversation, but here’s a list of some of the main posts (I may have missed some messages... [Read More]
  • Effects of Size on Physically Distributed Groups

    I don’t have much time to comment right now, but this study of “Effects of Team Size on Participation, Awareness, and Technology Choice in Geographically Distributed Teams” makes for interesting reading.
  • mo:Blog

    Brian Cantoni has a post about mo:Blog, a mobile blogging application that looks to be a lot more feature rich than my Vagablog application. I’ll have to fool around with it at some point, it says it can even upload binary attachments (like images). That definitely kicks ass in general,... [Read More]
