Barely 8 hours after saying that I wouldn’t be doing a link dump anymore, I found something to keep it going. A pre-beta (scary) of NetNewsWire is available and one thing it does is allow you to make on easy post with links to all of the tabs that you have open. Sooo, I can read through all of the news and pick out the few articles that I think are interesting, then with two clicks post links to those tabs to the blog.

I was getting frustrated with a single sidebar on my blog since so many things were ending up too far down the page, so I have redesigned. I like this much better and it gave me room to add my delicious links to the side, so I will probably stop doing the link dumps that haven’t been working for me very well anyway. Enjoy!
I’m sure I’ve brought it up before, but TextMate is an incredible text editor that hides behind a very simple interface. A new video on their video cast shows some simple features that make great use of Google APIs in creating links in HTML documents.
Went to our county ‘event center’ today and watched my brother-in-law Aaron race in an autocross with his new Nissan. I taped it and threw it up on Google video…
I've mentioned here before that I started using the LAME mp3 encoder to prepare audio files for publishing to a podcast (if you are using OS X, you can use darwinports to install it for you). While it is a little usability-challenged since it's a command-line tool, once you have the settings figured out, it's easy to use. My big reason for not using iTunes to do this is that I was getting a lot of file clutter putting files into iTunes, encoding them and then receiving them again through the podcastâ?
The development community is divided into two halves: the designers and the coders. I never know which one I am. Many may look at my designs and code and say that I'm neither. I would prefer (for my own self-confidence) to think that I'm both, although the two disciplines tend to sabotague each other. It's very difficult to design effectively after days of looking at source. It is equally difficult to build and maintain an application of any size when the design part of you shuns conformity and structure.
I have noticed lately that the camera icon in my iChat indicated that my MacBook Pro was unable to host (or participate in) a multi-party video chat. Since I know that it is able to, I went looking for an answer to this. Here’s what I did to fix it: I opened the Quicktime system preference and changed the network speed setting from ‘automatic’ to ‘intranet/lan’. iChat must have been asking quicktime if I had enough net-speed to succesfully chat and quicktime was telling it that I did not.
If you didn't see the announcements at yesterday's WWDC keynote, you can find them at Apple.com. Impressions? First, I was intrigued a little by the tag-team presentation format. Steve handed off to three other Apple execs throughout the keynote in a way that felt to me like a bit of a "American Geek Idol". Are they trying to find someone that has a bit of the aura that Steve carries? None of the presenters yesterday qualify -- especially Phil.
This morning (or noon-ish central time) Steve Jobs will take the stage in San Francisco to address the attendees of Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. This is the Apple version of the MAX conference (for those develop using Adobe products). I read one web site that anticipated a "flurry" of announcements. While I'm sure there will be some surprises, here are the three things that are expected: MacOS 10.5 “Leopard” - Apple has made no secret that it’s going to be talking a lot about Leopard.

I found these instructions by Mark Andrachek to install ColdFusion on an Intel-based Macintosh via Ben Forta’s blog. I tried them originally with a fresh install of Apache 2 and it didn’t work very well, but I removed the Apache install and used OS X’s built-in Apache and it worked fantastic!! technorati tags:coldfusion, macintosh, intel, macbook, apache, jrun
