Bloglines have announced a beta of their new interface, just after I jumped ship to Google Reader. The new interface looks snazzier than the old one and they’ve adopted some of the conventions of Google Reader. Clicking on a subscription doesn’t mark all items as read for example. The same accelerator keys still work, and [...]
A large part of my online income depends on Google Adsense. I filter my email through gmail and since this morning I’m feeding a backup gmail account with a copy of every single email I get. Thanks Matt for that idea. I use Google’s search engine to find solutions to my problems. Like Tom and [...]
How else could I get on to Google Finance’s page on MSFT? It might be gone by the time you check it, but click the thumbnail for a screen capture. My boss at Tradesignals.com would have given his right arm for exposure like that! Did I get many hits from there? Only 9 so far, [...]
I’m not going to explain it but a short video I found on Conor’s blog will. It’s produced by Common Craft and explains in easy to understand terms why and how this stuff can make your online life so much more efficient and fun. When you’re done watching the video, click on the Subscribe link [...]
I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while but Scott Adam’s post about using Google Alerts to find people talking about Dilbert prompted me to put fingers to keys this afternoon.

While everyone seems to be running to the new kid on the block, Google Reader, I stuck with Bloglines because I prefer the old-style interface and the sorting options over the new fangled web 2.0ish Google upstart. At the same time, I’ve lusted after some of the new features of Google Reader but Bloglines have [...]
Funny moment #18472 in the working life of a software developer. What Thunderbird thinks of RSS. So much for those syndication feeds! Have you got other Spellchecker bloopers?
Rich Ziade has listed a number of ways to use RSS more creatively than just reading news headlines from blogs. One of my favourite non-blog rss feeds is the Flickr Interestingness photo feed which isn’t listed, but I’ll have to look up the comics feed mentioned above!
This is a small demo and announcement of changes to enclosures support in WordPress. To help clear up the backend clutter I removed the “Enclosure” text field and enclosures are now created from files linked to in the post content. Files of type “video”, “image” and “audio” are enclosed by default. Images: photoblog-20041018 photoblog-20041017 photoblog-20041016 [...]
WP Plugin: Import your Flickr comments
Donncha O Caoimh | April 6, 2007 | 14 comments
I have had a plugin running on my photoblog In Photos for quite a while now that imports comments on my Flickr stream into my blog posts. It prefixed “Flickr:” to the username and linked back to the Flickr comment. Due to overwhelming demand (two people asked!), I cleaned up the plugin a bit and [...]
