As a few readers of this blog may know, I have been tinkering with iPhone development for about a year. Technically, a bit longer than that — since the first jailbreaks and community SDKs — but realistically, with all seriousness, about a year of what I’d consider above “tinkering” but below “professional.” In recent months, … Continue reading ARG Tools for iPhone

The horrors of internet calendar formats
I have been working on a little side-project for a few weeks now. One of the things I thought I could add easy-peasy, slam-dunk, was a read-only view of a shared calendar. I have seen the iCal data format before, and it didn’t strike me as particularly difficult, just A BUNCH OF CAPITAL LETTERS and … Continue reading The horrors of internet calendar formats

The Mantis plugins keep coming: Tag Column
Over the weekend, I introduced a plugin for the Mantis bug tracking system that enforeced a “fixed-in” version when resolving an issue as fixed. If you missed it, you can visit the ForceFixedIn project page or the related blog post. Today, I would like to add another Mantis-related plugin to my list of projects. This … Continue reading The Mantis plugins keep coming: Tag Column
Forcing a fixed-in version with the Mantis bug tracker
At the office, we use Mantis, a powerful PHP-based bug tracking system. It offers some great control over process and workflow, but not quite the granularity that I need. Specifically, I work in an environment where it is vital that the “fixed-in” version is filled in when resolving an issue as “fixed.” Without this, there … Continue reading Forcing a fixed-in version with the Mantis bug tracker
The simplicity of WordPress upgrades
One of the complaints I have heard about not running your own WordPress installation versus going with a managed service like Blogger or LiveJournal is that it is difficult to maintain. Specifically, that it is difficult to upgrade. This is why, about six months ago, a worm went around and took down a bunch of … Continue reading The simplicity of WordPress upgrades
On Google Chrome (Mac, Linux, and nightly builds)
On Google Chrome As you may have heard, Google is working on a web browser called Chrome. There have been beta versions out for Windows and Linux for some time. The Mac version is still playing catch-up. Because Firefox, the browser I now use, has appeared to get more slow and clunky over time, I … Continue reading On Google Chrome (Mac, Linux, and nightly builds)
Netninja site changes: Hipster PDA & Code
Background I have talked about my relationship with the Hipster PDA for years. It is a sort of love/hate thing. I find that the basics are invaluable. I really love all the beautiful little templates and forms that people have made for the 3″ x 5″ form factor. Alas, I find that most — if … Continue reading Netninja site changes: Hipster PDA & Code
LJProxy: From friend-locked LiveJournal posts to Google Reader
I have been on LiveJournal since 2001. I have had a Permanent Account since 2005. Many of my friends have used it for similar amounts of time. In the past few years, I have migrated my posting and reading off of LiveJournal. I do most of my blog reading through Google Reader, but still have … Continue reading LJProxy: From friend-locked LiveJournal posts to Google Reader
