small update on my whereabouts: Shopvolution is on the home stretch of opening Shopcade – a social eCommerce app -beyond our private beta. I’m very excited to see this project go live to the general public as we’ve been getting great feedback from users and have been responding to their feedback for the last few [...]

DNS solution for a small team’s sandboxed development environment

If that’s not the catchiest title of the season, I don’t know what is. But it was essentially what I kept googling over & over.
The closest thing I could find was pages & pages of BIND documentation. BIND is great – if you’re, say, actually hosting a proper DNS. But for my purposes, this would [...]

Project tracking software

I just started full time (well, albeit a few handovers left w/ M&C Saatchi) at a new startup at the cross roads of 3 cultural technology movements (more on that much later). At the moment, after the last PHP meetup in London, I’m contemplating project tracking software once again. I’m setting up our development infrastructure [...]

where to next for content management systems?

I haven’t written a technology related post in some time. Part of this is workload, but a bigger part is the pace of change in technology. And with the change in pace, my role and expertise changes along with it. By the time I sit down to think about writing about the impact of the [...]

String of bad luck

Well – my string of bad luck culminated this weekend in getting my backpack nicked out from under me while in a pub this weekend. Literally out from under me – Carrie & I were deep in conversation (yes, this love struck absorption still occasionally happens even after 10+ years of marriage) and the pack [...]

Somehow Goliath looks like David at the moment

A few weeks ago, I received an invite to Google Wave, but didn’t get a chance to really think much about it until now.
Though it’s been said that Wave is email’s Segway, Google has a pattern of seeming to bite off more than they can chew – only to succeed in the end. Gmail was, [...]

Blogger Search

Ouch – I was just schooled by a project manager – it happens sometimes. Couldn’t find a search module for Blogger – he suggested I just look at the code in the header bar for a blog that had the Blogger header bar active. Doh – I was clearly over-thinking things. Just create a search [...]

Where I’ve been traveling by looking at my Mac’s wireless memory

Ha – just noticed, I can track where I’ve been by looking at my Mac’s memory of wireless networks to which I’ve connected. I’m not sure what that says about me…It’s sad that memories are sparked by “Washington Dulles WiFi” “Wireless Vienna Airport” “Inn at Sonoma” “Inn at Sonoma 2″ “Catfish’s Network” “ShadyShores1″ “VitalogyWiFi” “Enchanted [...]

Facebook

So, Mutant Media has been producing some pretty cool Facebook apps for some clients lately. So naturally ideas starting bubbling up to the top of my head for my own. Well, turns out that Facebook and I aren’t getting along. I think it would be interesting to segregate my contacts into lists. The basic first [...]

Microhoo

I know Microsoft & Yahoo have been in periodic discussions for some time, but they’re back on the radar and for once my infrequent posts have helped me draw some connections. Since the news broke, in the back of my mind I was always thinking Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo didn’t make too much sense. From [...]
