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 […]

Kari Rabe from my hometown of Chatfield Minnesota was on Wheel of Fortune last night and did excellent. I think she went home with about $50,000!!! I know (knew) Kari as I was friends with her brother Luke in high school and I’ve hung out with the whole family. That was a long time ago […]

Step 1: Get some talented people who know how to build a deck. My brother and cousin helped us. Then make sure you pick a day that’s way to hot. Our deck took two days and it was sunny and 95 to 100 degrees each day. Step 2: Get a lot of wood. This is […]

Parallels – Emulation Done Right

26 May, 2006

I’ve taken Parallels for a test spin and I’m very impressed. VirtualPC was the best emulator around years ago and it still never worked very good. Now, with Parallels, you can run Windows (3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, Me, 2000, NT, XP, 2003), any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2, eComStation, or MS-DOS while running OS X. […]

Taylor Hicks Wins – So What

24 May, 2006

Well Taylor Hicks did it. The guy who looked 40 and acted 18 won American Idol. But what kind of album will he make? Can he succeed on the radio? Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good guy who is talented, but I’m having a hard time seeing him being truly successful. Taylor wasn’t my […]

Long couple of days.

Boy it’s been a long couple of days. My wife missed a step on Saturday and broke three bones in her ankle. It wasn’t until Monday afternoon that she was able to come home from the hospital. We are both very glad to have her home but for the next six weeks or so we […]
