The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

Finally sorting out all of my duplicate contacts with Google Contact Manager... with one click. Fantastic. http://bit.ly/4rffTr

Thanks to @casablanca for uploading the video of my recent #ossat talk. http://vimeo.com/8174431 If only I'd thought to promote vLollyPro!

Required browser support for a client's intranet serving 40k+ employees: minimum is IE7. Wait... What? I almost got emotional! #IE6free

Wow. A lovely, pure CSS3, 3D parallax effect which hints at lots of great looking *valid* richness in our future. http://is.gd/5nHAT

Making sure that a Christmas 'card' displays properly in IE6. IE6, you really are the Grinch that stole Christmas.

@NathanBowers I can live with fixing those. As long as our exchange server (shudder) here is compatible... I might make the leap.

@NathanBowers Yeah, I'm chomping at the bit to get Snow Leopard for that reason. I gather that there are other glitches though. Ok for you?

Wondering if @da_lune is right that only Mac users are frustrated with Microsoft. Are all Windows users really content?

Hit the wrong modifier key while composing an email in Entourage, and it can vanish without a trace & no Undo. Why do MS hate their users?

Administering a sever remotely over a remote desktop in Windows land with GUIs. How quaint! Come back ssh, all is forgiven. #MIssingCLI

Nudged in the direction of the Astrochicken by @briansuda, & rather freaked out by The Bombardier Beetle as a result. http://is.gd/5mbXP

@bruised_blood Well, I'm a fan of Fireworks, but I agree. Why can't Adobe just support the same image exports in their similar products?

Disoriented by the fact that the tones for "Application installed successfully" on my Mac, and "New message" on my phone, are the same.
