I’m just now getting around to discovering Google’s new video search. So I had to see if there were any performance clips of some of my favorite bassists. Enjoy a clip of Victor Wooten laying down a beautiful solo. Or try this nice medley from Stu Hamm. I also found a [...]
wB developer Pete (that’s Dr. Pete, to you) finally gets a blog. And, so far, a major focus will be explaining his code contributions to the project.
Pete also talked the rest of us into splitting the wB project into stable and unstable CVS branches. So now he can roll out crazy [...]
I just saw this while checking stats on the wB project. It’s called BlackDog, and it’s a (Debian-based) Linux server you can carry in your pocket. It connects via USB and lets you run Linux apps via X11 while you’re connected to either a Linux-based or Windows-based host. Could be fun, and [...]
I like web-based solutions for most everything, but I’ve never been a huge fan of web-based email apps. The ubiquitous SquirrelMail, which is provided by my current host (and the last two, come to think of it) is not bad, but its lack of an auto-save/auto-draft feature doesn’t lend it to the composition of [...]
How did I miss this? The Homestar Runner Wiki has all the info you’d care to know about your favorite flash-based cartoon (anti)hero, Homestar Runner (”it’s dot-com!”).
An Oddly satisfying flash toy to relieve a few of your frustrations. After that Harriet Miers thing, I think even my conservative friends will enjoy this one (via MeFi).
The wheatblog (wB) development team (that would be me, Josh, and Pete) released wB 1.0 today. Here’s the sf.net announcement (the ones for freshmeat.net and hotscripts.com are pending approval).
For those not in the know: wB is the software I use here at wheatdesign.com to power the blog and most of the [...]
Because I get bored with Windows but don’t have a spare box to run any more interesting operating system, I’ve been tinkering with LiteStep recently (via this great installer. It’s an alternative desktop environment for Windows based on AfterStep (which, in turn, is based on NextStep). People call these “alternative shells” but I [...]
Feeds for the masses. Google has launched Google Reader, a web-based feed reader. Very beta and slow at the moment (it lost the first feed I put into it), but I’m giving it a chance. Right now, I use Thunderbird for email and feeds. But, at this rate, I may be [...]
Our friend Josh has put together a nice Konfabulator widget called CloneSpy (also discussed here, when it was still called Frankenstats) which allows you to keep track of stats generated by BBClone (and app I keep meaning to check out). His site is also sporting a tasty new design.
