I never expected to release another version of my old weblog project Flip, but while searching my own name in a new search engine, I came upon several vulnerability reports for Flip 3.0. I’ve known about them for awhile now, but having dropped Flip in favor of another project (which

Microsoft’s Web App Gallery FAIL
Giving Microsoft, IIS, and PHP.exe the benefit of the doubt, I decided to try installing WordPress on Windows via Microsoft’s new Web Application Gallery. The install is simple and straightforward: install MySQL, go to the web app gallery, click on the download, choose what you want, poof! Done. I
Continue readingFacebook’s New Interface
Facebook loosed their new interface this week. Thus far, there is nothing “live” about it. This makes me very sad. Honestly, if Facebook doesn’t introduce AJAX-y live update goodness to their homepage, I suspect I’ll use Facebook about 11% as much as I used to.

I called iPhone OS 3.0 a few months ago. I said we should expect the next release of iPhone firmware to be a revamped version 3.0. I still feel fairly confident in my predictions: I still think we’ll see cut-copy-and-paste, better app management, and better enterprise management. I’m still convinced

Someone is going to sue Apple in the not-too-distant future for their inconsistent and subjective App Store approval process. I think they violate many anti-competitive practices. It’s crazy to think that Apple has gone this long selectively allowing certain apps, all the while only defining guidelines for inclusion nebulously,

Although I posted yesterday how to add your latest tweet to WordPress without a plugin, I made several changes to the script before I posted it to make it more “generic” and re-usable. Since I’ve changed it quite a bit, I decided to repost it. This new script also autolinks

I decided to add my latest “tweet” from Twitter to the sidebar of my WordPress blog. Rather than use yet another plugin that adds yet another hook – and there are many that do this with lots of code, I decided to use a homegrown solution, dependant only on PHP4+

WordPress › Support » Press This 404 issue. “Press This” hasn’t worked for me for ages. I am so happy to have it back!

Every so often I find myself with a multidimensional array that I want to sort by a value in a sub-array. I have an array that might look like this: //an array of some songs I like $songs = array( ‘1’ => array(‘artist’=>’The Smashing Pumpkins’, ‘songname’=>’Soma’), ‘2’ => array(‘artist’=>’The Decemberists’,

I haven’t heard much about what to expect in iPhone OS 2.3. A quick Googling of the term, as of today, yields nothing of value, other than speculation. iPhone 2.2 came out in November, almost 2 months ago. Since we haven’t heard anything about 2.3, that leaves just a few
