Shrook

Today in BoingBoing, Cory talks about using Shrook as his aggregator. I like this notion it has of the simultaneous client and web interfaces. The main reason I use FeedOnFeeds is that I want to be able to access my aggregated information from multiple boxes. Having the Shrook account that I can do minimal reading [...]

Useful Spanish Phrase

I ran across this phrase in Zonageek: Asi’ que es agradable saber que no estoy loco.

As best I can tell, this translates roughly to “It’s nice to know that I’m not crazy.”

Mid-List Writers

Ths
piece by a pseudonymous writer in Salon has gotten the portion of the blogosphere that I read jumping. It’s interesting to see the range of reaction.
David Rothman and Caitlin Kiernan seem to generally agree with her, although mostly in agreeing that “publishing sho’ is screwed up.” They don’t have a lot to point out in [...]

Cold Soda Turkey

I was having a hard time cutting down on sodas. For a little while I was able to get back to 3 a day, but I find that I work better with prohibition than moderation so I’m cutting them out totally for a while. I’ve been getting a lot of headaches lately. I’m not sure [...]

Zaurus Package Feeds

I felt logey this weekend and not up to actually flashing my Zaurus ROM. I did install some of the packages from the Opie 1.0.3 feed though. I downloaded a random MPEG-4 video from the Internet Archive to see if I could play it. Neither the standed Sharp Media Player nor the Opie Player played [...]

Updated Blapp

I’m not sure what moved me to check to see if a new version of Blapp, the OS X Blosxom weblog tool, was available. I did, and one was! You can download version 0.6 now. This is my first post with it. So far, it seems pretty good. One thing I really like (and this [...]

I’d Pay

Ren Bucholz has a diagram showing how a P2P collective licensing scheme might work. I wrote a month or two ago linking to the blanket fees notions, and this flowchart shows who the players might be in such a scheme and how they interact.

Melancon at SXSW

Over on his weblog, Paul Melancon posts about his experiences at this year’s SXSW in Austin. It sounds like a good evening and I would have loved to have gone. I really enjoyed Amy Ray’s solo album Stag and would have loved to hear Paul’s band back her up on “Mountains of Glory” (which it [...]

Page Titler 0.2

I’ve made some modifications to my page_titler plugin. Before, it would act upon only the main unqualified page. It had some funky logic to skip what it was doing if this was a page view or a category view or something, but that never seemed to work quite right anyway. Loading the page of recent [...]

Cajuns and Yellowjackets

I’m not going to play like I’m a huge colledge basketball fan because I’m not. However, this year both my almas mater are in the NCAA tournament. My beloved UL-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns start their first round game with NC State in a few minutes. Good luck to both teams!

Update: The way I phrased that was [...]

The Crisis Continues

My friend Jon Kincaid has recovered from his heart attack, but will in all likelihood be paying off these medical debts for decades. He’s a brilliant DJ as you can tell by listening to his radio show. I burn the MP3 archives of his show to CD and listen to them as I walk around. [...]

Lesbian Marriage?

The brilliant Larry Hammer brought up a point on Dueling Modems. Let’s take the stray passage from Leviticus that is cited as why homosexuality is against God’s law (NIV, less poetic but plainer than King James):

Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what [...]

Quote of the Day

I saw this on Incipient Thoughts:

We now speak the language of self-management, but it is still difficult for a group of subordinates to call a meeting that excludes their boss. We bear the imprint of the fact that in times past self-management was called mutiny.

VGA Zaurus

I love it! Just by typing impressions of the Zaurus, it’s creating a crystallization point. People are mailing me cool things about them and leaving me writebacks and such. A correspondent named Mike who sends along this link to the Japanese announcement page for the Zaurus SL-6000, with VGA 640X480 resolution. It looks cool, but [...]

Geeks for America

If you are a Perl/Linux geek and also a political animal, live in or are willing to move to Washington DC, you can apply for the position as developer/sysadmin for the John Kerry campaign. Unlike when I saw a similar posting for Clark for America two days before he bowed out, this time you probably [...]

Feeling Groovy

Man, I could make a career of just staying up on the cool projects that exist for development. A coworker pointed me towards Groovy today. It is a an extension to or a project built on top of Java JDK 1.4 classes that adds “agility” to the language. It allows for some of the neat [...]
