Araxis Merge for MAC, I’m giddy like a schoolboy!

since moving to the mac, the one (well there are two realy) tool I’ve been missing has been a strong compare tool for text files. Namely code. SVN has a good compare but sometimes when I’m moving files around, I want to make sure I’m not overwriting new with old and stuff. Plus sometimes I’d [...]

Centering pop ups.

I’ve wrapped up a project with Jeff (great guy to work with!) WIthout giving anything away, part of my task was some forms for the app. IE. mail this thing to my friend, request information, that kind of thing, well actually those two things almost exactly :)
The PopUpManager, is a darn cool class. This was [...]

Day two is over. The team is great, i really like everybody. Best of all! The soda machine is a quarter!! :-D
I’m jumping in feet first, working with Wayne on a project that’s due out by Friday, my way to learn. It’s a Windoze world, not everything is perfect. I’m excited to keep delving into [...]

Scoble, High Rise, Apollo, oh my!

I’ve had a ton of things sitting in tabs for a few days now, awaiting further pondering and deep thoughts. I’ve been too busy for that, so here’s the from the hip version, and it’s long, long like like the line for the bathroom at a baseball game, long like the line for a Will [...]

Aral has Friends or Followers, the twittermap now has (A really frakkin’ cool app) Twittervision

Interviews, video player components, busy week

Been a busy week… wait. it’s not over? Isht!
I’m working a video player component, can’t say more. I’ve been interviewing for some neat sounding full time jobs (Time for salary for a while, I think) and in general being really busy… oh and my MacBook Pro decided to become possessed by the devil so I [...]

360Flex, done!

Now the hard part, starting over again for the next one, AND using what we learned to make that conference better!
We’re already looking at the survey results and are incredibly pleased with the criticisms! Give us more, like the survey says, be brutal. We won’t know what to fix until you guys all tell us. [...]

360Flex, day one, done!

Wow, what a frakkin’ day!
What did I learn from today?

Handing out badges is really a lot more work than one might think, but a great way to meet people.
That teaching 101 taught me a few things
that 80 minutes can seem like eternity plus 2
That the community absolutely rocks!
that Cow poo ain’t so bad, even if [...]

360Flex off to a great start.

Early badge pick up went great!
I’ve no idea how many badges we gave out, guess that would be worthwhile data. :)
We handed out a lot though, Ted and I think about 1/5 of the badges went out. I think that’s great! Considering we didn’t announce early pickup until Saturday at mid day. Impressive!
We wrapped the [...]
