SmartyPants On Demand (instead of all the time). I’ve refactored some parts of Texturize so it’s even faster and smarter than before, and that’ll be in the next WP release. I got an email from a project manager at Google a week or two ago asking for a Texturize feature list and if the code was available. He wouldn’t say what they were going to use it for.

State of the Bonsai
Michael has a mid-blog crisis and axes his linklog. That’s too bad because he always had unique stuff.
Bookmark Sync
Firefox Bookmark Synchronization. Hat tip: Todd Dominey.
March
The part of this essay not about deliberately invalidating every page on your site is good.
Smarty
Smarty 2.6.3 is available, the new cache filename stuff is nice.
Pursuance
This is too beautiful not to share. Pursuance, the third movement of the Love Supreme, as performed by the Branford Marsalis quartet. When I first heard he was doing this, I thought there was no way he could do justice to the original. I have also heard a recording of him attempting Love Supreme from the early nineties and it wasn’t up to snuff. This recording, however, is amazingly intense.
WRT54GS
So I’ve tapped into Linux on my WRT54GS using the Sveasoft firmware, and it’s pretty sweet being able to SSH into your router. Should be very useful when I’m on the road as well. Local DNS cache is running great. Security stuff seems solid. Finally, Wonder Shaper is keeping my roommate’s games from bothering me. 😉
Putting Linux on the Desktop
Red Hat goes after the corporate desktop. The key is standardized hardware in corporate enviroments. Windows is excellent at working with any dang thing you plug into it, or the dang thing coming with a CD with Windows drivers.
Microsoft Lost the API War
Make HTML sing, something I work toward every day.

2 Years Old
I noticed that PhotoMatt.net turned 2 years old the other day. Maybe when I get a spare moment I can finish up the draft post I started last year when the site turned one.
Feeds
Okay already! Just the asides category and every category but asides. This sort of thing is really easy with a dynamic system.
Robozilla
Robozilla, the DMOZ link checker.
Scavenger Hunt
Nick is doing a scavenger hunt in return for Gmail invites. I’ve got a few extra invites now too. Interesting offers considered. I’ll throw in a free copy of WordPress. UPDATE: If you just email asking for an invite, you will be immediately deleted. Leave a comment with your interesting offer.
Interview
On Sax, Love, and WordPress. An interview. Read and (hopefully) enjoy.
