IE Death March

So I put together another microfocused blog (is that a buzzword already?): IE Death March. On this blog you’ll find links and posts about web developers and companies staunching the bleeding that is developing for Internet Explorer 6.
A side note about these microfocused blogs: I’ve found it’s way easier to produce content for a site [...]

ExpanDrive - UI Proposal

I quickly mocked up a few changes I’d like to see in ExpanDrive :
Basically, it displays information that is normally hidden behind the edit dialog. You can see quickly at a glance where each drive goes and how it logs in, and the edit button isn’t hidden behind a context menu or drop down.
For [...]

Dock Full of Pulled iPhone Apps

I realized I have a few apps that are now rare collector’s items. The four apps in my dock in the screenshot are the four apps that I heard were pulled from the app store.
For accuracy’s sake, PhoneSaber was pulled by the developer (though not before was threatened by THX (LukasArts?)).
Surely, there is [...]

And for my third trick…

We’ve finally launchedstevejobsfacts.com. That makes the 3rd project to launch in 3 days. So yeah, I’m a bit tired.
So tired, in fact, that it took me one month, and sixteen days, and five hours to actually click the publish button.

Photoshop and Spotlight (or Quicksilver) Shortcut: CMD+SPACE

I’ve been annoyed for the last few years that the Photoshop Creative Suite versions never played nicely with the system shortcut cmd+space. That shortcut in Photoshop is a zoom tool that I use, hold the keys down, click and drag to zoom to the selected area. Convenient. However, by default, that same shortcut cmd+space in [...]

WordPress for the iPhone

Oh wow. It’s finally out and way awesome. This is way easier that trying to use the Wordpress admin page in Mobile Safari.
Here’s a photo of it in action:

I am writing this while watching Gotham Knight with my daughter. I think she may be a bit of a Batman nut.
Oh, and here’s a link: WordPress [...]

busyness and whatnot

I can’t believe how crazy busy we’ve been. On top of moving, and travelling the globe, in the last couple months, I have somehow managed to find time to start redesinging and rewriting the interface and software that power one of our websites.
In the last 24 hours even, I managed to launch a new [...]

Flock

So… I’m trying out the Flock browser… and it’s relatively well put together.
I have two complaints: not enough web services (though it’s not *all* the flock people’s fault) and the … gecko base. *shudder* I’m so spoiled on webkit.
Anyway, that’s a long winded way of say that I’m also trying [...]

out, about.

went out to check out a few bands… unfortunately had to sit through an anti-bush fest. so we ditched. “don’t listen to bush, bush is lies. don’t accept bush propaganda. listen only to ours.”
the bands were telling us that if they had to sit through it, then we should too. hahah. no thanks. we’ll [...]

lie berry.

they took my pork chop about 8 hours too early on wednesday. hopefully we’ll be picking her up saturday, instead of sunday. i don’t know.
in xbox live world: i’m holding my own. after a rather long losing streak in double team with slaveical, we finally broke through. a lot of it was my map familiarity [...]
