It’s been a busy 3 years or so.
Yes, this promises to be one of those posts I seem to keep writing. It’s not quite LiveJournal material, but it’ll be completely devoid of code or any notable geekery—so feel free to move along.
In late 2005 to early 2006, after a busy and stressful [...]

This year has been a doozy. A full account of it would fill a book, so it’s telling that I’ve neglected to raise much of a fuss about the fact that I actually have been working on a new book. Not only that, but part of that book has been spun off into [...]

A funny thing happened on the way to building a delayed real-time feed display: I got temporarily obsessed with implementing a template language in JavaScript that, as it turned out later, I didn’t need.

After writing up my first stab at a Delicious command for Ubiquity, I planned to continue revising it based on feedback and to work on exploring more of what Ubiquity enables. I started looking into writing my own nouns for tag suggestions, as well as playing with page load and browser startup hooks. [...]

So, in anticipation of hopefully carving out time to write more article-length entries like my last one on Ubiquity, I’ve revamped the design on this blog and updated the colophon. I’m also hoping to post more short entries as well, and get this place revived again in general. Let me know what you [...]

In my last post, I got all fluffy about how cool Ubiquity is but didn’t share any code to prove the point. As it happens, I have come up with at least one useful command that I’m starting to use habitually in posting bookmarks to Delicious. You can subscribe to my command or [...]
