I’ve been having way to much fun using Graphviz. It takes in a simple file format, and outputs a diagram showing the relationships. Any time I run accross relationship data now, my first reactions is to regexp the data in BBEdit’s find box into dot file format, and then see what it really looks like.

I’ve got my Powerbook hooked up to my Treo for internet access. Now I can be surfing and posting as I travel. No more need to fight hotels or beg dailup accounts off of my relitives. Yay!

I’ve got about a 435ms ping, a 26 kilobits per second upload speed, and a 176.7 kilobits per second download speed.

I just found this. Maybe I can use my Treo for wireless web access now!

I was curious how Bob Carey was managing to upload images and make posts while driving. He was kind enough to email me back telling me how he did it. Now I may need to go get a USB cable for my brother’s Sanyo phone.

For my own use later, here is how to set the connection up with OS X.

How cool is this. Yesterday, while using the new version of Transmit with sftp, Transmit uploaded a blank file to my server instead of the real one. I sent in an email and let Panic know. I got a quick email back from Ian Cely, and I answered a few more questions on the problem. Today there is a new release with the bug fixed. It’s nice to feel loved. :)

I want a camera with built in GPS. When I take photos, it should tag them with lat/long. For one thing it would make finding photos easier (and very fun). Then when combined with some kind of internet wide search, you could pull up tons of pictures of any place on the world.

Maybe I could hack this together for myself by carrying a GPS. Then later taking the record of where a I was at what time, and by using the photo’s capture time, get a location for each photo.

Update: Beth points out Ricoh makes a GPS enabled camera available in Japan. Guess I’ll have to wait a year or two… :)

Brian Lozier has some good points in his article on using PHP for templates. Previously, I’ve come the same conclusions as he has. For big projects, Smarty rocks. For small projects, php files rock. It’s not a which-is-better-debate, it’s dependent on the job you are doing.

What if VBulletin, or other bulletin board software supported Trackback? What if I could reply to a post right from my blog? Would this usher in a new age of thoughtful discourse?

So I made my own Quick Hack Licence. Sugestions? Criticisms? Pitfalls?

I occasionally print off funny scam conversions from scamorama.com, for the family’s enjoyment at lunch. Today I found a spoof page for The 3rd Annual Nigerian EMail Conference . Funny stuff.
