Just grabbed the latest beta of NNWP (beta 12), and it has better support for my Blosxom blog. It looks like it’s still a little incomplete - only sees one level of the folder hierarchy - but that’s definitely a step forward, since it didn’t see any folders before…
Read MoreI’ve been thinking about the whole “I need tabs in Safari” issue, and have come to realize that no, in fact, I don’t need tabs in Safari.
What I need is a way to manage multiple open web pages in a single window. Tabs are only one implementation of this. And they tend not to scale well (open 15 pages as tabs in Chimera to see what I mean).
What would work is some way to list any number of pages associated with a single window. Something like the Bookmarks mode in Safari is a good start. It makes it easy to list pages, but it’s modal.
Read MoreI just stumbled across this little gem…
If you have pages in your bookmarks bar in Safari, hit Command+1 to open the first one, Command+2 to open the second, etc…
My bookmarks bar is mostly full of folders, but there are a couple of pages, and the Command+# maps to their non-folder order from the left side
Quite cool. Wonder what other goodness is hiding in there… Already have mouse gesturing thanks to Cocoa Gestures. Slick.
Read MoreI was just asked for some online resources for a Windows admin getting into MacOSX. Here’s what I came up with:
On a MacOSX Box:
just hit Command+? (or go to the help menu)
On the web:
I’ll add any others that I come across.
Read MoreJust came across Strike Force, linked from MacUpdate.com.
Holy crap. That’s one complete mod for Unreal Tournament. I’ve tried it for a couple of minutes, and it looks even better than UT:Infiltration (which is a pain in the #SS to get running on OSX, but Strike Force just plain worked).

I REALLY have to replace this TiBook400… A 17 inch, gigahertz, 60-gig, GeForce4-sporting, superdrive-packing beast. wow. And only $5200 CDN.
iPhoto2 looks freaking amazing… Looking forward to trying out the one-click image enhancement (although PixelNhance is a nice app, too).
I don’t do enough presentations to really dig Keynote, but it would be nice to ditch more MS stuff if I ever need to do some presentations…
Read MoreI’ve been playing Quake3Arena for the past few months, and it runs pretty well on my creaky TiBook400. I’m pretty hooked on the Urban Terror mod, since it’s a wee bit (i.e., WAAAAY) more fun than plain vanilla Q3A.
I was planning on picking up Medal of Honor: Allied Assault over the Christmas break, but a couple of things held me back:
how well would it run on a TiBook400?
$75 CDN FOR A FREAKING GAME???!!!???
After that, I was thinking of picking up Ghost Recon, which does run quite well on the TiBook, but there’s still the cost. I just can’t justify $75 for a game, no matter how amazing it is.
Saw the Flames vs Wild game last night, in great seats. Wow. That was just plain fun.
Fast game, good play on both sides, and we won. Undefeated with the new coach. Woohoo… Took some pics (might upload them somewhere…)
Read MoreBack in ‘98, when we started implementing AICC interoperability into our LMS at DiscoverWare, the specifications were rather incomplete, and the documentation was rough.
They’ve been working on them pretty intensely, and they’ve expanded to cover a lot of new ground.
It’s gone much farther than just metadata and content packaging. I’ve been reading through the Learning Design specification, and it’s kinda like a glue that holds all of the other specifications together. It seems like it’s quite an intelligent approach, pulling in various specifications wherever appropriate.
Read MoreSo, we desparately need schools in Tuscany. Multiple schools, not just one. We figure 4 elementary schools could be filled. Easily.
The only problem is that there isn’t any provincial cash to build them. We currently bus about 1000 kids out of the community, which costs a fortune in time and money, but
there’s no capital budget to slap some bricks together.
We’ve been trying to raise awareness of the issue, and have been able to get a lot of community interest and support. The Community Association is pushing hard to get schools
built, and the Resident’s Association is providing whatever support it can.
I’m just working on building an interface to allow admins to edit and manage the html fragments that make up a theme in the repository. Ideally, it will be a web-based solution similar to MovableType or PMachine, where you can edit fragments of HTML directly in the repository.
That does expose a risk, though. What if an admin is editing the theme managment page template, and breaks it? Doh…
I’m thinking that a separate Admin WO app (that isn’t themed itself, but knows about theming and can access the database store for the HTML fragments) would be a better idea. If an admin is happy with their theme, they can kill the WO app that manages them…
Read MoreTired. So very tired.
Projects and baby are finally catching up with me. Feel like a zombie, going through the paces.
Time for a vacation, but that’s just not going to happen for a while.
And to top it off, Socrates is pushing for some more time. Don’t have any more to give, though. Maybe my 2 weeks off at Christmas? Forget the family, man! Build some courses! Woohoo. whatever.
