Comments Are Unbroken

A lovely change in Movable Type caused comments to be sorta really broken for the past week or so. I just now got around to fixing things… so if you tried to post a comment in the past 8, 9 or 10 days and it didn’t work – and you still remember what it was […]

Upgraded

The Big Blog Re-Install

I think my comment problems are related to my crusty install of Movable Type. I’m going to re-install Movable Type, and slowly re-add plugins. Things may be funky around here for a little while.\ Update – I think it’s OK now. I deleted a bunch of old plugins I wasn’t actually using, and gave up […]

The Big 2k

This is the 2000th post on this blog. I wish I could write this to coincide with some big redesign, a switch to a cool new blogging platform or have some cool techno-geeky thing to show off. But, I don’t. I just have this measly little entry. This entry is mostly here so I get […]

How I Write Presentations

I do a lot of presentations now, and because I’m the “web standards guy” I can’t go around doing them in Powerpoint or Keynote (I’ve tried using both and yuck, they’re not made for writing). Over the past year or so, I’ve tried a couple different things, but here’s the system I’ve got down, and […]

Most-Used Apps Of 2005

Molly did it, so will I. Plus, I need a break from writing about CSS. Why am I writing about CSS? You will know soon enough, my children, soon enough.\ I’m a Mac person. I think everyone who knows me knows this by now. So, it’s not going to surprise anyone that this list is […]

Blogroll Changes

I know, you probably didn’t even know I had one, did you? But, I do, and it’s been updated. I used to use Bloglines to import it on the page, but I realized that that’s ALL I used Bloglines for, and it was a pain. So, I’m doin’ it myself now. I’m taking the OPML […]

Movable Type Categories As Tag Cloud

Like yesterday’s post about del.icio.us tag clouds, this was an experiment because I was bored. I figured it was so easy to make the link tag cloud, it should be almost as easy to create one from my categories. The challenge is that I have almost 1600 entries (actually, this is #1600!): so many that […]

Importing Your Del.icio.us Tag Cloud In Movable Type

Someone on the Movable Type ProNet list asked how to import their del.icio.us tag cloud into thier blog a couple days ago, and since I’m stuck here on the couch, I’d see if I could figure out an easy way to do it… and you know what, there is!\ All you need to install is […]

5 In The Morning and Can’t Sleep? Time To Mess Up Your Blog!

I got about two hours of sleep. It’s really hard to sleep with a foot that’s on fire.\ You may notice a couple different things if you read the main page of the site. I’ve added a couple links, and moved some stuff around. What’s cool, is it took very little markup changes to do […]
