• Sudden Wave of Spam

    Posted on March 9, 2006

    Starting yesterday I’ve seen a big upswing in the number of comments that make it through the Akismet plugin. I’m wondering if that’s just me, that I made it onto some new list? Or has someone out there figured out how to beat the filters? The top ones I’m seeing... [Read More]

    Holly pointed me at Go Ghetto today, and I just wanted to share. It’s like our Confess app, but more directed. Wish I thought of that! So jealous.

  • Writing a Web Service Interface on Ning

    Posted on March 5, 2006

    Like I was babbling about yesterday, I’ve been thinking about different ways of hooking up mobile applications and web applications and trying to bridge the gap.

  • Ning Visit

    Posted on February 15, 2006

    Folks came and visited the Ning office today. And guess who was mysteriously absent from the group? Kevin Burton. Apparently we have enough free time that we should be able to host folks whenever they feel like stopping by, but Kevin was just too busy to attend the meetup he... [Read More]

  • Dulce de Leche

    Posted on February 10, 2006

    Diego’s brother is in town, and he brought with him many treats composed primarily of dulce de leche. Don’t worry if you can’t read spanish, neither can I. But here’s a rough translation for dulce de leche: really fucking good. It’s kinda like caramel, but not quite. Kinda got a... [Read More]

  • Naptime

    Posted on February 9, 2006

    I frequently tell people that I can sleep just about anywhere if I’m tired enough, they don’t believe me. We have a lot going on at Ning, so I’ve had a few chances to exercise that ability in the last few days. Diego snapped a pic of me sleeping in... [Read More]

  • Feedster Redesign

    Posted on February 7, 2006

    I just saw the new look at Feedster, very nice! The search results are much much snappier than I can remember them being for a good long while. Some folks are complaining about a lack of new features, but I read the entry about the release as saying “New site,... [Read More]
