Andrew Scott’s hReview plugin for Wordpress
Have you heard about hReview? It’s a Microformat for describing reviews that can be easily crawled, indexed and searched by other services. The best description of Microformats I’ve heard so far is that of an accidental API.
Andrew Scott’s wordpress plugin for creating hReview’s makes this a snap though. [...]
Add OpenID to your blog
One of the biggest gripes I’ve had with OpenID turned out to be based on completely false information. If you’re not familiar with OpenID, it’s a distributed authentication system based on trust where a user can be identified as the owner of a URL. This is done by authenticating at a central location, then [...]
Reading List
Lately I’ve been negligent to my web projects in exchange for spending time reading. Unfortunately the distractions of blogs, digg, email and daily life have made this a slower process than I initially planned, but understanding how much time is spent on these things is the first step towards changing it. A while ago I [...]
Aardvark’d - 12 Weeks with Geeks
What do Aardvark’s have to do with technology? Well that’s a question you’d have to ask Joel Spolsky, but it’s the codename for summer internship project from 2005 at Fogcreek.com where a team of college interns create a real world project from start to finish. What’s a little different about this internship is that it [...]
A Brief Break with FFXII
There aren’t many video games I follow now a days. Actually it’s down to just Halo and Final Fantasy. You can blame the later for the recent lack of posts. Final Fantasy XII came out this past Halloween, a game I had been waiting for for years. The Final Fantasy series all has excellent [...]
Bulletproof Web Design Book Review
I don’t usually recommend books unless they change my point of view on something. Granted I read almost entirely tech and finance books, but most don’t make headlines. One i’ve been reading lately makes the grade — Bulletproof Web Design : Improving flexibility and protecting against worst-case scenarios with XHTML and CSS. It’s [...]
It’s just too Easy sometimes
I have to give Dreamhost a lot of credit. Setting up this blog was a snap using their “Goodies”, but I didn’t realize that they go above and beyond just installing Wordpress. Here’s a rundown of the process to create a new wordpress blog on Dreamhost:
Log into your Dreamhost panel and go to Goodies > [...]
BackPackIt.com Review
BackPackIt by 37 Signals has gotten a lot of press lately. Besides being one of the two most highly publicized applications by them, BackPack is built with Ruby on Rails.
It was about time for me to learn what all the fuss was about. I have a number of projects and lists in my head aching [...]
Google Calendar Review
There has been a lot of hype lately about CL2, Googles codename for their new calendar. With amazing calendars out there like 30 Boxes and Kiko, Google needed to impress, but what would you expect from Google?
Simplify. Organize. (And relax.) Organizing your schedule shouldn’t be a burden. That’s why we’ve created Google Calendar – our [...]
Riya Review
A few new aps have surprised me this past week. Takes a lot now a days for something to make me spend more than 5 minutes checking it out, but one accomplished it and then some.
Riya
One that launced about a month ago that I didn’t make the beta for is Riya. Riya describes itself as
