Perfect! The WWDC Blogger's gathering and WebObjects Pub Night overlap, at the same place! Yay, synergy! bbum's blog-o-mat: WebObjects Pub Night @ WWDC 2005 I guess that means I'll be able to hit both events! Update: - well, the registration for the blogger's gathering is closed (it's a catered event, and they needed payment etc...), and the... »

Battlestar Galactica Season 2 is coming, and much sooner than I was thinking! It looks like it's starting July 15 in the States! This is going to be good... Season 1 was probably the best scifi ever made (it's definitely the best TV scifi, and probably in the top 10 best scifi of all time... »

Alan's talking about his Blog-Ha Moment - when blogging "clicked" for him, and suddenly became part of what he did every day. For me, I started dabbling with blogging after the dot-com eLearning company I was working for self destructed at The End of The Internet Bubble, in March 2001. I needed something to distract... »

Someone on the WebObjects-Dev list, known only as "LD" just posted a tip about getting CodeSense completion working in XCode2 for WebObjects code. I took his tip and wrote an easy-peasy shell script that got the job done on my 2 machines. If you need to enable CodeSense completion for WO, just grab a copy... »

I just took a few minutes to tweak the UI of Planet ADCE, to better match the rest of the ADCE blog layout. I also hacked in a simple ADCE blog search, using Google. And I added links to the public blogs, so you don't have to go rooting around for them. I'm toying with... »

I'm trying a bit of an experiment here... I just installed a (slightly hacked/cleaned-up) copy of Feed on Feeds to aggregate all of the Apple Digital Campus Exchange weblogs via their exposed RSS feeds. I'm hoping this gets replaced by a "real" solution hosted by Apple, but in the meantime... Planet ADCE: Latest Posts on... »

Josh and I were working with a batch of resources this afternoon, and we had to rename them all to match a particular specification (by prepending each filename with a string). We didn't want to use the Finder to manually rename each file, so Josh was trying to remember enough shell scripting to get the... »

I just did another update to the iPodder.org Educational Category, adding a handful of new feeds, and more importantly, adding a new "English as a Second/Foreign Language" category. The new ESL/EFL category is being edited by Robert Diem (thanks, Robert!), which will definitely help keep the updates fresh. This last round of updates hasn't shown up... »

OK. The blogosphere is all breathless over this one. Steven P. announced at the D "conference" that the next version of iTunes will include a helping of podcasty goodness. (Engadget with the news, and Phil Torrone dishes the dirt). There are rumours that only "podcast feeds" that have been vetted by Apple will be included... »

I've been trying to use Spotlight as my primary app launcher (after being a diehard user of Launchbar and then QuickSilver). One thing that annoyed me about Spotlight is that you have to enter your query, then cursor down to the "Top Hit" before hitting RETURN to launch it. I just stumbled across this... If... »
