For any webobjects-developers out there who are irc-inclined, I (for the moment) am running #wodev on irc.openprojects.net. Drop in if you want. Not sure how long it'll be up, as I haven't managed to get it registered yet.

Mark Pilgrim describes his own, and my, gardening abilities:

My aptitude with plants can only be described in the negative. Take all the qualities of a good gardener, and negate them, and that's me. ... I have telepathic powers that can kill plants just by looking at them. I can burn out a lawn in a hurricane. I am the opposite of a "green thumb".

sorry folks.

Sid now maintains a history of previous posts, and can load an old post into the form for editing. Next up is to re-jig the posting code to post an edited message as such.

unfortunately i can't test Sid without posting a bunch of bogus messages to the site. I'll delete them later. Sorry for the email clutter.

Boy, wish our cable modem could fly.

... of Sid's weblogs.com ping. One ping only Vasily.

Woohoo! Sid now lets me italicize, bold, and underline, as well as link.

Jodi and I have decided to get a digital camera. Specifically, we've decided on the Canon Powershot S30. We had settled on the Nikon Coolpix 775, but switched to the Canon for the following reasons:

Yay! I managed to get Sid, my Cocoa-based Conversant posting utility compiled again. I lost some of the more recent work on it, but I've since changed the way I categorize posts, so the missing functionality is not missed.

For the Mac OS X programming weenies out there: Project Builder 2 is coming... This new release will be many times more configurable, and hopefully faster! [thx Jim]
