Technorati redesigns and looks excellent. Is this the first search engine with completely valid HTML and CSS? Feedback: Have the cosmos link/icon in the results by the name instead of the time posted. Fonts seem a tad small for me. Footer is off-center on results pages. Congrats to Tantek and the Technorati team. (Tanteknorati, heh.) As they continue to address performance issues I can start to use the service regularly again.

WordLog.com, a blog about WordPress. (A lot like this one. ;)) Don’t know why I haven’t seen this before. Bookmarked.

Vivified, another WordPress blog with a nice design. However it has what I would characterize as gratuitous IFR usage. When did people become afraid to use images? Flash is for funny animations and interactive design experiments, not headlines.

The Internet Has Spoken. Funniest thing I’ve seen all day. Hat tip: Simon.

The New England Press Consortium, nice use of WordPress.

I finally figured how to change the annoying “Matthew-Mullenwegs-Computer” hostname and such: System Preferences › Sharing › Computer Name. This seems easy but since Simon didn’t know it either I thought I’d share.

Codergurl installs 5 WP blogs in 20 minutes. With SSH this could have been even faster.

Pretty Pir(l)ouettes. Ampersands are good for more than just messing up validation.

Installing the W3C HTML Validator on Mac OS X

I’m going out of town for a few days and I’m not taking any PCs. We’ll see how this goes.

Jazz and the Net: Bret Primack’s Blog. From All About Jazz, one of the best jazz sites on the web. Running WordPress!

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. 🙂
