Yet another test

sorry folks.


yet another test

ugh. DateFormatters are a pain in the butt.


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.


Woohoo! Sid grows a history

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.


TBL on Webizing Python

Mmmm, DVD

Well, our DVD player finally showed up! Woohoo! (Darn that cheap ground shipping. -)) So I'm reading the manual, and watching True Lies.


another test

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.


please ignore

testing Sid.


Are you sick of Sid yet?

I've been working on Sid (obviously) for the last couple of days - I made some (finally) very nice improvements to the interface. In the last few versions, the settings for the conversation were done in a drawer. The drawer was almost as large as the document window, which was awkward and just not elegant.


this is a test

please ignore


Sid enhancements

Ok, I took a little while to get Sid up and running again, and I've added a few enhancements. Sid now has the option to ping weblogs.com when posting to your Conversant weblog. Fun fun fun!


This is a test

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


282.0 kB/sec !?!

Boy, wish our cable modem could fly.


Speaking if digital cameras

Brad points to this cutie - the Cubik is the world's smallest megapixel digital camera. Neat!


Sid Enhancements, Part Deux

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


Sid working again

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.


Need help finding digital camera

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:

  • 3.2 Megapixel camera: the Coolpix was only 2.14
  • More ergonomic shape and weight - the 775 was just a bit TOO compact and boxy.
  • The Powershot has a microphone for capturing video AND sound; it can also be used to annotate stills I believe.
  • The menuing system on the Powershot is a marvel of tiny Information Architecture. The Nikon's menu was nearly incomprehensible.

  • PBX 2

    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]
