Safari Shell Execution Exploit

February 22, 2006 at 02:02 PM

Those of you that use OS X and may be worried about the latest exploit to hit the newswire - the Safari Shell Execution Exploit. Fear not, it doesn’t pose a severe security risk…yet.

Rebooting...Again...

February 20, 2006 at 10:02 PM

Yes, there is a new design coming for this site as I have stated on a couple of previous occasions. But…the wait for it will be a little bit further in the future than I previously anticipated.

I decided that if I entered the CSS Reboot I would be able to give myself a bit more time to complete the design. And hopefully I’ll be able to give it that little extra touch that I wouldn’t have time for if the design was pushed out the door in a hurry.

So, keep an eye on my profile at CSS Reboot…Something good is coming on May 1st. In the meantime though, I plan to try to keep up the regular posting here. Even if it is these short little posts I’ve been tossing up the last week or so.

Snook's Prototype Cheatsheet

February 20, 2006 at 10:02 PM

Anyone that uses the Prototype Javascript Framework should really take a look at Jonathan Snook’s Prototype Cheatsheet.

As I type this a copy of the cheatsheet is rolling out of my printer to find its way onto my office wall. I suggest you do the same.

When will people realize that you just can’t steal another’s work and stamp your name on it?

Anyone who’s ever had a piece of work ripped will appreciate this post by Mike Rundle: Ylunch.com and High5Advertising Are Thieves.

Fanning The Flames

February 15, 2006 at 06:02 PM

Now, I really hate to stir the pot and fan the flames on the Mac vs. PC issue, but a couple of things have come across the news wire in the past couple of days that are definitely worth mentioning.

Bill, if you’re listening, it’s moves like this that are causing people to scramble to the Apple or Open Source side of the fence. What the hell were you thinking?

So hypothetically, say I buy a copy of Windows XP, and install it on my machine. Then a few months later decide to upgrade my motherboard because AMD has released some crazy new CPU that I can’t wait to cram into my machine. Next, I’ll reinstall Windows…but wait…I need a new license? This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. I realize that they’re trying to square away what constitutes ‘only installing the Operating System on one machine’, but this is just a little too far.

Oh and Bill, if you want to learn how to foster customer loyalty, take a look at the nice gift Steve gave his customers this week. He upgraded everyone’s new laptop, at no additional cost! That’s how you get people to continue buying your product, as well as tempt new customers to buy your product.

Google Acquires Measuremap

February 14, 2006 at 06:02 PM

Measuremap will be a great compliment to a service like Blogger. It’ll be exciting to see where the project goes now that there is a dedicated team working full time on it.

Congrats to Jeffrey Veen and the rest of the crew at Adaptive Path.

Live Redesign

February 12, 2006 at 12:02 AM

Well…sort of. I’m in the midst of redesigning this site to go with the new domain name, so there will be a bit of flux around here for the next couple of weeks while I’m testing some things out and getting the new design completed.
