It’s been a while since I’ve uploaded images to my (food) gallery, so allow me to say that a few more have trickled in. O:-) I should also mention with the latest version of Zenphoto, the RSS feed —if you view my photos that way— has been changed. The new RSS feed URL is now [...]

iPhone note-taking apps (Part 2)
Tuesday, 3 August 2010
I’m still using Evernote as my note-taking app on the iPhone, but I have become increasingly disgruntled with it. Sadly, I’ve yet to find a significantly better note-taking solution, although Simplenote and Take A Note might have potential in the future. I’ve also come to the conclusion that I need only a note-taking application. Having [...]
Plugin setbacks with WordPress 2.7.1 upgrade
Sunday, 15 February 2009
As usual, the WordPress upgrade to v2.7.1 went well. But (and should I not get too surprised?) there were a couple hitches with plugins. One of the issues is similar to last time, involving Comments Preview and (somehow) OpenID. But now it keeps insisting on entering something for the Name and Email fields. Even when [...]
iPhone apps I use (2008 edition)
Tuesday, 13 January 2009
Dealing with the productivity iPhone apps sure makes me look like a wet blanket. But, as much fun complaining can be, I have had fun with the iPhone software. To keep my enthusiasm in check, I’m limiting this entry to the apps I had found in 2008, and continue to use. But a couple of [...]
Macworld Expo SF 2009
Friday, 9 January 2009
I went to this year’s Macworld Expo in San Francisco with low expectations. None of the Apple hardware or software announcements were things I had been waiting for. Not to downplay them, of course. I’m simply not a large laptop user, for example. While I do use applications from iLife and iWork, I do not [...]
Splogger slimeys
Wednesday, 3 December 2008
I haven’t found a good tool (or set of tools) that deters blog scrapers. That is, short of trying to manually block them the “old fashioned” way by adding filters to a server’s .htaccess, or submitting to an online anti-splog database (see last paragraph). The problem with the .htaccess route is that maintaining a list [...]
Extended Live Archives (ELA) plugin works, finally
Monday, 3 November 2008
It’s sad when a useful tool becomes rusty and is then abandoned. I liked how the Extended Live Archives plugin (ELA) for WordPress very neatly arranged my archives page. ELA stopped functioning with version 2.3 of the blog application. However, thanks to TinYau (天佑) and Jason Hansen, their efforts made ELA finally work with the [...]
Finally upgraded my theme…
Wednesday, 22 October 2008
Another hiatus ended! Two sets of reasons: Quite a bit of on-then-off-then-on-again housework being done within the last few months, which caused some schedule chaos. (But: New bookshelves in the living room! New garage door! Ancient, hazardous gas heater finally removed! New storage loft in garage!) And then I decided to not post another entry [...]
iPhone note & checklist apps (Part 1, likely)
Friday, 5 September 2008
I’ve decided to limit this article to note and checklist (to-do) applications for the iPhone that are free. I might cover similar non-free productivity apps in a later entry, such as SplashShopper, or Yojimbo if BareBones release an iPhone app. My list below might seem short, considering there are a multitude of to-do list apps. [...]
Seeking iPhone apps for lists & notes, plus the inevitable Pain of Palm
Friday, 22 August 2008
The Search for iPhone applications Has Begun! First up is replacing the Palm Memos (notes) and checklist tools. While these are usually labeled as productivity apps, I really don’t need full-blown project management, like with a Getting Things Done (GTD) app. Nor do I need to-do lists that’ll sync up with Mail.app, because I’d rather [...]
