Flock Finally Goes Universal

8 Jun, 2006

When I saw Flock today on MacUpate, the same question passed though my mind, ‘is it Universal yet?’ I have an Intel iMac at home and Flock performed less than great. I’m not sure why but it just felt wrong. So, I searched for a build that ran natively on Intel Mac processors with no […]

Theme Park News Site Coming Soon

8 Jun, 2006

Welcome to my new Theme Park News Site. It’s main focus will probably be Minnesota based parks with news and information on Valleyfair, Camp Snoopy and maybe some waterparks. I’ll be converting the old Valleyfair news posts into here and creating a nicer, hopefully more up-to-date, theme park news site. Keep checking back in the […]

iPox Supports Firefox 1.0

7 Jun, 2006

Good news for all the Firefox users who, for whatever reason, choose to stick to Firefox 1.0.x. iPox now installs on Firefox 1.0! It has been tested (a little) and seems to work just fine. For those of you who are on beta builds of Firefox 2.0, I have had a third party test it […]

5 Minutes with Google Spreadsheet

6 Jun, 2006

Hey Hey Hey! It’s Google Spreadsheet~ Here is my five minute review. I got my invite so I just had to take a few minutes to play with it. Works on a Mac in Firefox and seems quite nice. No Safari support. Scrolls better than iRows and has a very simple and clean design. I […]

Google has announced Google Spreadsheets! It’s currently limited beta but I have high hopes for it. Google has Writely, an online word processing application and now a spreadsheet application. This is one step closer to Google Office. 😉 I have yet to get my Google Spreadsheet invite, but I’ve got on the list. For more […]

Watching Wood Disappear

5 Jun, 2006

It’s amazing how the simple things in life can be so enjoyable. We recently built a deck and all the old wood was piled in the front yard and the nails were removed. That was not the fun part. Once we were done, I had Christi make some signs that said ‘Free Used Wood’ and […]

New WordPress Plugin Instructions

3 Jun, 2006

Last night I decided that my WordPress plugins needed a bit more detailed install and configure instructions. Sure, I know how to do it but that doesn’t mean anyone else gets it. 🙂 Check out the Chicklet Creator WordPress Plugin instructions and the Social Bookmark WordPress Plugin instructions. Let me know if something doesn’t make […]

SkEdit – A Dreamweaver Replacement

2 Jun, 2006

SkEdit is simple, fast, not bloated with useless features and it’s now my Dreamweaver replacement. It’s extremely hard to find an application that can do all that Dreamweaver can, however, it’s even harder to pay $400 for a piece of software. I have been checking out all sorts of editors trying to find a great […]

Social Bookmarks Tool Goes Static

1 Jun, 2006

If you wanted to use the Social Bookmark Tool but didn’t have a blog, now you can. I added the functionality to add a static URL and create social bookmark links. Granted, this static code will only work with one URL and title, it’s not dynamic like the blog code that will create links based […]
