Drupal has a new redesign.

Blue skies smiling at me, nothing but blue skies do I see. From the amazing Robert Glasper, a fellow HSPVA alumni. (Dig the enclosure action.)

The Flu versus Anthrax

I registered my copy of TextMate. I don’t use it (or code on the Mac) full-time yet but I really like the direction it’s going so I wanted to support that. Also the blog with WordPress so what’s not to love? 😉

Pingback whitepaper

Mark takes a break. (Permanently?)

TextDrive is going to support WordPress officially. We often run into people whose WP experience is mediocre because their host provides such a barren web enviroment there’s not much we can do. By highlighting hosts like TextDrive who really “get it” everyone wins. Update: Forum thread about the same.

The day I tried WordPress

I had lunch with Lee today

Is it just me or is half the internet seem to be down? I can’t get to extremetech.com or parts of zdnet.com, and I just got a 500 error from blogger.com when trying to leave a comment on someone’s blog. What’s interesting was the message: “Please contact the server administrator, blogger@trakken.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.” Trakken.com redirects to Neotonic, which according to its meta tag, ” Neotonic Trakken is a powerful web-based Online Customer Support system.” The domain is registered by David Jeske who has an email at Chat.net, a PHP-Nuke site that hasn’t been updated in two years. David worked at eGroups and Yahoo and then started Neotonic which signed Google as its first customer in 2001. If you dig a little deeper you can see what Trakken really is. The obvious conclusion to be drawn from all this is that Blogger is just a highly customized PHP-Nuke installation and should be released under the GPL. Someone contact the FSF.

The amount of technology Jonas used to make that map boggles the mind.

Erik Benson: to love within our means

Mirrored from Leonard and Haughey, here is Jon Stewart’s appearance on Crossfire in WMA (36MB) and AVI (70MB) formats. We could probably drop at least a few megabytes from each if someone could edit out the commercials. Anyone up for it? Update: Elliott Back cut the commercials out and dropped about 27MB. Thanks!

PhotoStack 2.1b1 is now GPL licensed. Excellent. 🙂

I had the pleasure of talking to Toni Schneider today. What he and the team at OddPost did with regards to growing organically while staying true to their core audience is very inspiring. Obviously it was successful too.

How to uninstall KDE from Gentoo. I’m removing all the desktop stuff from my Gentoo box.
