On January 20*, we'll be releasing PulpFiction 1.2. On each of the next ten days, I'll be discussing a new feature we've added to my favorite aggregator. Today's feature: support for enclosures. Enclosures are included in the preview pane and can be downloaded as a result of filter actions. The files are just downloaded, but […]

DirecTV sent me an email (no doubt everyone else got it to, no, I don't think I'm special) announcing some plans for 2005. They include: Four new HDTV satellites (for over 1500 channels) New 100-hour DVR with more interactive capabilities Mover's connection Refer a friend, get a free month of service Better website In other […]

On January 20*, we'll be releasing PulpFiction 1.2. On each of the next ten days, I'll be discussing a new feature we've added to my favorite aggregator. Today's feature: wide view. PulpFiction can now toggle between standard view and wide view, with folders in a drawer (left or right), an article list left, and the […]

Question: Did Apple position the Mac mini appropriately (i.e. well enough to avoid a "Cube" debacle)? My Answer: I think so. I agree with codepoet's assessment. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Robert Scoble has broached the topic of Copyrighting RSS in his usual bumbleheaded way. Essentially, a man named Martin Schwimmer does not like having his posts republished via Bloglines. Martin summarizes his point succinctly: This website is published under a Creative Commons license that allows for non-commercial use, provided there is attribution. Commercial use and derivative […]

Question: Are you on a diet? My Answer: Something like 87% of all Americans are on a diet? I don't know anyone on a diet. Not a specific diet, or anything that varies from normal eating. No carb-counting, no Weight Watchers. Nothing. (No, I'm not on a diet.) You are encouraged to answer the Question […]

On January 20*, we'll be releasing PulpFiction 1.2. On each of the next ten days, I'll be discussing a new feature we've added to my favorite aggregator. Today's feature is one I've used several times myself: we've added support for local feeds. Local feeds are simply XML files that live on your disk. I've created […]

On January 20*, we'll be releasing PulpFiction 1.2. On each of the next ten days, I'll be discussing a new feature we've added to my favorite aggregator. Today's feature is a simple one: we've added support for "another aggregator's" stylesheets. They load within PulpFiction's "Web Display" preferences in their own section. So now, not only […]

The Steelers offense played like butt, special teams and an INT resulted in the only two touchdowns the Jets scored all day, and Ben Roethlisberger played like a rookie. Yet due to about fourteen strokes of luck, the Steelers will move on to the AFC Championship game once again. Let's keep things in perspective, though. […]

This sticker is incredibly stupid: This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered. "Evolution" is not the Big Bang theory, nor is it the "primordial sludge" theory. Evolution is part […]

Are there any database-knowledgeable golfers out there? Or perhaps a golf-knowledgeable database administrator? I'm working on a little project and am trying to set up a database. Database design is important, and if the database is simple I (anyone) can do it. This one's a little more complex. Starting with the right design will save […]

Turns out the solution regarding Pooty Belly was simpler than I imagined: wait until she breaks up with the neighbor and moves out. I'm not sure she's gone, but I haven't seen or heard her since about a week or two after Thanksgiving.

On January 20*, we'll be releasing PulpFiction 1.2. On each of the next ten days, I'll be discussing a new feature we've added to my favorite aggregator. Today's feature? We've added support for servers that require authentication. PulpFiction can grab a username and a password from your Keychain. If none exists, it'll ask you to […]
