I don’t know if I got a bad disk or what, but my Tiger install did not go well. First off the disk wouldn’t verify. I called the Apple store and they said to just skip verification. I then choose archive and install and it archived everything but failed on install. Now I was left […]

  • 28 Apr, 2005

If you don’t know what a bookmarklette is, it’s a piece of javascript that you bookmark and invoke on a page.

Adobe to Acquire Macromedia!

  • 18 Apr, 2005

I’m completely shocked. Adobe will be buying Macromedia! Two of the biggest web applications companies out there. I have long since chosen Macromedia products over Adobe, and now I fear for the futures of Dreamweaver and Fireworks.

Blogs are like email, gotta try them all.

  • 8 Apr, 2005

I’ve decided that blogs are becoming like email. Everyone is giving out free accounts and it seems like there is always a new feature at one that another doesn’t have. So I end up having many different blogs where I play for a while and then forget about. I’ve tried Blogger, TypePad, WordPress, some SEO […]
