A Day in Paradise

Not sure if what I clicked through told me not to tell anyone about anything, but I just got my beta invite to Xcerion.
Xcerion is yet another OS-in-a-browser, although they prefer to call it “Cloud Computing” or “XML Internet OS”. I assume they say XML since that is probably the data transfer layer, as well […]

This is in response to Cal’s post on SEO experts.

It really depends on the framework… Zend Framework is very SEO framework. Others that rely on a lot of ajax or javascript POST callbacks to facilitate basic navigational tasks will stop a search engine dead in its tracks.
I have also seen frameworks which use strange http […]

Nice toy, they are just missing a PHP interpreter.

The first version of this post was eaten when Y! Pipes decided to take down firefox (seemed to happen a lot when I was hovering over the sources waiting for the tooltip top pop up - FF1.5.0.9)
Y! Pipes is a cool toy. There is a lot of interesting functionality, but a lot that could […]

We’ve been busting our balls on the infrastructure of our new Hedge Fund Website creation project over the last couple weeks and since we did the official launch yesterday I figured it deserved a little link love
The heart of the hedge product a niche tool for hedge fund managers to manage their investor […]

Please create a search function, so that I can search my 150 writeboards to see where I mention a specific company. Even simple tagging mechanism would work for me. Right now it sorta sucks.

Stella’s words when I showed her Apple’s new ipod nano line up.
As everyone has already heard Steve announced a nice new line-up of products, and for the first time in a while I’m pretty happy with what they are offering.
The conversation went something like this:
“The pink one is 4 gigs, for another $50 you […]

I’m running way behind on a pile of stuff, so have decided to do a quick linkdump of some things that I’ve been meaning to blog about for a while now.

I just listened to the latest pro-php newscast (I didn’t listen to the old ones, but love the new format). Haven’t listened in a while […]

Are you finding yourself sleeping too much at night? Are you making all of your deadlines and have time to spare? Are you spending a lot of time with your girlfriend but don’t have the cash to buy her that awesome Swarovski accessory. Do you do a lot of window shopping at thinkgeek? Are you […]

With the paint not even dry on the shiney new Podshow+ website, bloggers such as Dave Winer and Todd Cochrane are talking about how the new podshow is caching and rewriting the users RSS files. The by-product of this caching/rewriting is that the original copyrights are removed. Not a good thing. My listing still shows […]

I’m checking my email this morning and I see the invoice for my Backpackit subscription! Nothing was charged! Somebody signed up through my affilitate link and that paid for a month of my premium usage!
This means that if I can get a signup every month, then I won’t have to pay for my premium membership. […]

Collaborative writing software online with Writeboard. Write, share, revise, compare.
Writeboard needs a “Save and continue Editing” button.
It’s quite easy to work with, that extra click just sucks every time you want to save a document.

One of the things that I want to get going is a collaborative journalism platform. The system will have a couple of primary features.
Article Collaboration

You create a “Article Stub”
You add reference material
You collaborate on the article
You maintain a workflow (data gathering, writing, draft, published, revision1, revision2)

RSS Aggregator

You can add however many RSS feeds to the […]

Check that out!

Mini-review at this awesome Spell Checking blog *cough* *cough*
Looks cool

And the internet grinds to a halt!
Seriously though, I went to blog something yesterday and discovered that my page was taking forever to load. It was pretty clear that the reason for the delay was the ads which were being displayed synchronously from google and holding up the display of my page. I did a […]
