Fun with Airplanes

Landing in San Francisco this morning, we had an interesting experience. We were escorted in by another plane (no, it was not an F-16). I've never seen, nor been a part of, a tandem landing. A bit of an odd experience, to say the least... I'll update with a photo (I snapped a couple... »

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

Found this gem on the Wordpress Wiki: Auto shutoff comments. It includes code that you can use to create a plugin to automatically close comments after a set number of days - handy for keeping those evil spam roaches at bay. I just copied the second block of text (the one by Scott Hanson) into... »

Rob Reynolds on The LMS Wars

Saturday, November 27th, 2004

Rob Reynolds has just posted an interesting piece on the coming LMS Wars. He likens it to be on par with the telecom industry's battle with legacy/enterprise protocols (ATM) vs. upcoming anarchy-driven protocols like IP. (IP is now in the lead, by the way) The existing LMS industry is analogous to the IT industry, and... »

reBeLog » WebObjects thoughts.

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2004

David just published a great post on developing with WebObjects. He really boils down the WebObjects development experience into a few bullet points, which I will copy/paste here for searchability... The last point is really the best one - I've come across this so many times on CAREO and Pachyderm. We'll be building away and... »

GarageBand doesn’t like iSight

Friday, November 19th, 2004

I was hoping to use GarageBand instead of Audacity as part of my recording suite, but the stars aren't aligned... The only mic I have on my desktop G4 is my iSight camera, which sounds pretty good, but runs at 48KHz. GarageBand only likes 44.1KHz sources, so it doesn't work. Doh. Looks like I'll be sticking... »
