Leonard’s multi-screen setup. What’s really crazy about that (besides the fact he has a panaramic picture across 5 monitors) is he uses an open source project called Synergy to “share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware.” Who says open source doesn’t innovate? That’s almost as cool as News.com accepting pingbacks. 🙂

September’s WordPress meetup is coming up. The new Meetup site is fantastic, it addresses everything I didn’t like about them before.

I absolutely delight in being able to go to a random blog, and instantly recognise if it’s powered by WordPress or not. Me too. 🙂

The Technorati 100 looks like it is broken. It wasn’t me.

Adam Greenfield on Moblogging. I’ve been lessblogging since 2002. (I’ll also admit at one point I thought moblogging was silly.)

Om talks with Lindows/Linspire founder Michael Robertson.

I Found Some Of Your Life, the anonymous diary of someone who found a digital camera memory card in a taxi with a year’s worth of photos and is recreating the person’s life through the pictures, day by day on the blog. Hat tip: Tantek

When Blogger ditched the banner ads for that small tasteful bar at the top that was both attractive and functional, I loved it. Now I’m going down my blogroll and I noticed Hanni has created a version of the blogger nav bar for WordPress. It’s got the WP logo, a search box, a Press It link, et cetera. I haven’t even looked at how she’s doing it yet, but very cool!

Had a great lunch and coffee today with Om Malik, an interesting guy with a lot of insight into nascent markets and opportunities.

I just downloaded Apache and was surprised to see “The currently selected mirror is http://mirrors.playboy.com/apache.” Apparently the tech team over there mirrors a few other projects. “Playboy’s resident tech nerds would like to thank the authors, contributors, bug testers, and everyone else involved in the Open Source software we use on a daily basis. THANK YOU!” What a strange world.

Trac, integrated source control and project management. I’m getting this set up for all my personal projects, including this site. Update: If I can ever get the dang thing installed.

72 hours later: The world is on fire, from Blake Ross. It mentions WordPress, the number of referrals we send should go up when 1.3 comes out with the Firefox button in the footer. People have asked why we’re supporting Firefox like we do, but it’s just one underdog open-source project helping another.

Yesterday was fun, got settled in and indulged myself a bit. Had some Korean BBQ, drove all over the city, walked on the beach and watched the waves and stars, geeked out for a little, and finally looped by Tantek’s. Another good but tiring day.

Eric Meyer discovers how to lock up a Windows computer using only CSS. On IM the other night he blamed it on WordPress. I’m not crazy about IE, but I wouldn’t go that far. (Opera people hush.)

The flight was good, the iPod rocked, weather is beautiful, the hotel has internet, life is good.

Amazon’s search engine A9 is looking really good. I’m on a 9600 connection through my cell phone and Google just wouldn’t come up when I needed to check something. I remembered a9.com and how you could just type the search in after the domain. It was faster than Google and I found what I was looking for.

WordPress and the plugin I blogged about the other day are mentioned in the News.com article Microsoft flip-flop may signal blog clog. I believe this is the first time WP has been mentioned by them. Thanks to Son for writing in about this.
