Plugging the iPod back into my Mac after loading all the music from the PC seems to have deleted all the music I loaded on to it with xPlay. What a pain…

NetNewsWire Subscription Favelet that uses Mark’s excellent feed finder. Seems like a good hybrid solution. I have been less than impressed with NNW’s autodiscovery performance. In a perfect world I could take my OPML file (which only contains site URIs, not feed URIs) and it would import and autodiscover every feed. Also there seems to be no WordPress setting for weblogs. I’m new to all this, so some of this may be things I’m missing.

Color me very impressed with XPlay, which allows you to talk to a Mac-formatted iPod on a Windows machine.

Tim Bray got application/atom+xml into Apache and IIS. Impressive to say the least.

If you’re a developer there’s some neat stuff in the WordPress 1.3 nightly builds, including the ability to store objects and arrays in the settings system and hook into the main menu. Check it out and share your thoughts on the hackers list.

Transferring large files over 802.11b isn’t really worth it. It’s faster to (1) burn a CD with the files and walk to the other computer (2) go to the store and buy an ethernet cable to wire the computers together (3) put the computers next to each other and type the text out on one computer while reading from the other.

Nascent Irish WordPressers list. Add to it if you know any.

Kitten’s Comment Pay, lets you present spammers with an option to send money via Paypal. Cool. 🙂

A manual directory of French WordPress blogs. Add yours if you’re not on the list and you blog in French.

Should forums be marked up as lists? I think in most situations the answer is yes, but most every forum I’ve seen has atrocious markup. The WordPress support forums, incidentally, use light tables on the thread listings but the threads themselves are ordered lists. It’s the only forum of its kind I’ve seen.

Writing a WordPress Plugin:Part I

As a photologger myself I enjoy sometimes browsing through galleries of friends. I came across this picture of the recently married Heather by MJ that really struck me. Other faves: Dan’s dog, Derek’s flowers, Eiffel, these things.

The Great Custom 404 Page Adventure. Hat tip: Dave.

Directory of WiFi hotspots on your iPod, only for Bay area folks. If there was a WiFiPod for Houston I’d be all over this. I’m taking the iPod I bought with extradinarily bad timing back to the store today and trading it in for a 4G.

LaughingMeme: WordPress RSS Aggregator, very neat. Hat tip: Geof.

Reload for extra fun, including a picture of me in my underwear. 😉

MT vs. WP Google fight. Hat tip: Mark.

The fantastic comments keep pouring in on the Mac thread, thank you so much guys. I’m going through every single suggestion in that thread and when I’ve had time to kick the tires of everything I’ll write about what I end up with.

How come no one has ever done a reverse version scheme? Now that WP up to 1.2 I’d like to start counting back down. When we reach 0.0 we’ll be perfect.

Why would anyone write a book?
