Open Source Gone Awry

Date April 26, 2005

Spotted on the WinHec2005 site today…
This is significantly different than Microsoft’s new plan to let the community contribute and design the future of the PC..
This is certianly a nod to the influence and impact of Firefox and other open source development — an indicator that the best ideas may come from tapping into the […]

Blogging Technology Going Open Source

Date May 18, 2004

Blogging Technology Going Open Source. Interesting move by Dave Winer to keep his code alive. May not be such a bad idea, considering there seems to be a mutiny brewing (more) for those currently aligned with Moveable Type. I’m somewhat disenchanted myself now that Six Apart has begun to shut down their “free enough” software, […]

Mena on Moveable Type 3.0

Date April 29, 2004

Users of Moveable Type will be interested in Mena Trott’s recent posting on the upcoming release of MT 3.0. I don’t think I will be disappointed. Much of Six Apart’s work has gone into developing TypeKey, a comment registration tool to help quel the infestation of spam hitting many unprotected weblogs.
Movable Type 3.0 is not […]

Zempt

Date December 16, 2003

I was showing some people at work how to use Zempt today. Zempt is a great little app that provides a multi-platform interface for posting to blogging software like Moveable Type. However, what I forgot to tell my work mates about was the great little extension that allows you to highlight content in IE, and […]

Moveable Type

Date December 16, 2003

We were playing around with MT and RSS today to see what we could make it do. Using MT at a team management and marketing/communications level has been a good start, but we’re coming up with more and more ideas for ways in which we might use it as a primary CMS tool for our […]

Trotting out TypePad

Date April 23, 2003

Big news today from Mena and Ben Trott of Moveable Type fame, or should I say TypePad fame?! Take a look at their plans for a new service that’s sure to make blogging even more popular. I have a feeling it’s going to be a huge success. The Trott’s seem to have the Midas touch.
Did […]

And the winner is…

Date March 11, 2003

The Third Annual Bloggies were announced last night, which has given me a number of new sites to add to my “Stuff I Should Look At” folder (growing steadily every day). I was happy to see Blogrolling.com take home an award, and even more pleased to see Moveable Type come out on top in the […]

MT: Behind the Scenes

Date March 2, 2003

Thanks to Scott Andrew, Richard Eriksson, and David Gangne, I’ve been able to cobble together enough know-how to be able to modify the MT interface I use for posting blog articles. I now have buttons for automatically linking terms to Google, Dictionary.com, and Amazon (hmm, not my first choice in online booksellers). As well, […]

Make lunch not war

Date February 17, 2003

Kim & I went down to Churchhill Square on Saturday to show our support for the anti-war movement. Watching the news the next day, I was anxiously awaiting the response from the White House. It’s not like they can ignore millions of people gathering around the world, all showing their disagreement with the proposed invasion […]

Movin’ On Up

Date October 8, 2002

Just did an upgrade to Moveable Type (I know Randy - it hurts your head!) Anyway, one snag that took a couple of minutes too correct. Otherwise, all is well. I’ve added a search box to the right side. It’s got a lot of features, which I might pare down considering the size (or lack […]
