• Free Culture Plucker version

    Posted on March 27, 2004

    As Lessig points out in a recent entry, there are lots of different formats of his new book Free Culture out there on the Internet now. There’s also a Plucker version out there as well. Plucker is an open source document reader for Palm handhelds. The book kicks much ass,... [Read More]

  • Vagablog Usage

    Posted on March 27, 2004

    blogNation has a post about how to use Vagablog with their service, and Jeff Jarvis over at BuzzMachine called it “my precious Vagablog”. Tehehehehe. Vagablog is a Palm based blog posting tool I wrote a while ago. It hasn’t made me money, but it’s been really cool to see all... [Read More]

  • Gnomedex

    Posted on March 25, 2004

    I just registered for Gnomedex. Yea, I’m a loser, I’ve never been to one before. Certainly sounds kick ass, and it’s in Tahoe, and there’s a three day open bar, and people all over the place with computers and network access. See, I’m getting excited already and the conf is... [Read More]

  • Yahoo's Interactive Billboard

    Posted on March 25, 2004

    Textually.com reports on a new interactive billboard installed by Yahoo! to promote their reworked auto site. The full article is at AdWeek, but it does little to answer my main question. The sign looks like a pretty cool idea. It’ll certainly attract some attention, and it’s novel enough that people... [Read More]

  • Programming Books with Full Text Online

    Posted on March 25, 2004

    I ran across two computer programming books with their full text available online: Teach Yourself Scheme in Fixnum Days and Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. I’ve only skimmed through each of them very briefly, but I personally am going to start on the teach yourself Scheme book. While I... [Read More]

  • Technorati Claimage

    Posted on March 24, 2004

    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

    Posted on March 23, 2004

    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. And this time instead of destroying the normal setup, I left the desktop version available as well. So those... [Read More]

  • Test Posting From Vagablog

    Posted on March 23, 2004

    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

    Posted on March 23, 2004

    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.
