I’ve had 16 tabs open in Phoenix for several days now, full of good links (mostly discovered through blogs) that I need to get around to reading. Tonight I finally made it to Joe Clark’s In-Valids, and the rest of his NUblog site. (Oddly, his editorial we
doesn’t bother me as much as Zeldman’s does. Go figure. [I do like the new design of the Daily Report, and he’s always got interesting links… except, again oddly, recently while he’s been focused on the redesign.]) Still outstanding: the San Francisco Chronicle’s ChronicleWatch and The Pragmatic Programmers’ Software Entropy (both from a single site that I neglected to record), Web Nouveau’s CSS Tableless Sites (linked from various sources previously mentioned that I don’t want to list yet again), an SF Chronicle infographic showing why it’s clearly impossible
to hit a baseball and (Michael) Palin’s Travels (both via Rebecca’s Pocket), and a bunch of others.
Also having trouble with AmphetaDesk which may be related to my web proxy–it doesn’t actually retrieve channels that are updated, even when I kill it and restart, so I have to physically delete its cache. After I dissed it (more than I intended, upon re-reading the post) and got a nice response to the post from Morbus Iff, I’m hoping to figure out the problem and contribute it back instead of just complaining. (Had it worked, though, I would have seen Mark’s post that a new version is available or the announcement itself. Ironic, no?)
Finally, yesterday I delivered 50 copies of a CD project that I’ve been working on for a few weeks to Sirens… and promptly discovered that it doesn’t work properly on Windows XP (even though it did on Windows 2000). As a quality assurance person by day, you’d think I might be smart enough to actually test the thing before burning tons of copies and releasing it into the wild. Sigh. Donna discovered the error while showing it to Amber, and we determined a workaround that they can tell people to use, but I’m more than a little embarrassed that it’s there in the first place.
