The Average Joe: In Search of the Perfect Computer Book

The Average Joe: In Search of the Perfect Computer Book
Joe Wikert, publisher of The Red Couch, comments on errata in computer books. It’s good to hear these kinds of thing from a publisher. There’s very little that’s more frustrating than going through a programming book, finding a problem with the code, and not being […]

Micro Persuasion: Chris Pirillo is Brilliant

Friday, March 11th, 2005

“Check out how he optimized the title of a recent blog post to drive traffic to his site.”
Thanks for the tip, Steve and Chris.
I’d like to think that I would have thought of this. But I’d be deluding myself. I’ll be lucky if I can just keep from forgetting it!
Update: I assumed […]

Any Bloglines developers listening?

Friday, March 11th, 2005

I asked the following question of Bloglines via their comment form. I’ve looked in their forums with no joy - I’ll put the question in there as well, but I’m curious in anyone else can answer my question.

…[W]hat elements of a feed makes bloglines display a feed to indicate that it has new entries. […]

This blog post may come as a suprise to you but I am very glad to make your acquaintance.

copyrighteous:
“…the impact that these 419 scams must be having on legitimate Nigerian mail.”
Benjamin Mako Hill makes an interesting point here. I know that I’m guilty of the kind of immediate response that he’s mentions - as soon as I see the particular style of email that represents most “419″ scams, I delete […]

Doesn’t work in FireFox. Also isn’t working in IE right now, but I’ll be checking back. I’m very interested to see what features Microsoft feels they can bring to this space that will make their tool more than a […]

This is hilarious!

Moonwatcher Off Topic: Feed Changes
I was just reading a backlog of posts from Moonwatcher and had noticed that not long after posting about The Economic Case for Full Feeds, Charlie had switched to summaries only. I had even taken a snapshot of my bloglines screen showing the difference in feeds and was writing the […]

HOW-TO: Make your own annotated multimedia Google map - Engadget - www.engadget.com

Wednesday, March 9th, 2005

This is really cool! (and Jon Udell rocks! - just between Jon Udell: A Google Maps walking tour of Keene, NH and associated posts and his work on the IT Conversations AudioClips function [more info here and here, implementation details here] he’s a web-interconnectivity powerhouse, and that’s not to mention any of his other work).
However, […]

Microsoft’s Anti-Spyware as an argument against Google’s Auto-link

Tuesday, March 8th, 2005

So far I’ve stayed out of the fray surrounding Google’s Auto-link functionality. I can see both sides of the issue, and think that Dave Winer’s comments (starting, I think, here) and Robert Scoble’s comments (starting, I think, here) have some good points - especially when it comes to what Google could do to […]

At the Wisconsin .NET user’s Deeper in .NET event today

Saturday, March 5th, 2005

No wi-fi, so no live blogging, but I thought I’d post a little about it.
Scott Guthrie (feed) spoke about ASP.NET 2.0. Beta 2 out soon and some really powerful features. I’m interested in looking at some ASP.NET 2.0 html/css source code and seeing how well they live up to their claim of XHTML […]
