Ray Ozzie, I am disappointed.

29 February 2008 – 6:24 pm

This is Ray Ozzie. He’s Microsoft’s Chief Software Architect. I pictured him kind of younger than that… but Microsoft ages you like nothing else. I mean, just look at Steve Ballmer!
Anyway, see that link on Ray’s page… top right in the sidebar… yeah, that links to his blog. Click it.
You’ve arrived at a page dated [...]

25 February 2008 – 10:35 pm

Photo Dropper is brilliant! It’s a Wordpress plugin for adding Flickr photos to your blog posts, and it pretty much does it all for you. Can it get any easier than this?!

Watching the suicide of a company in real time… Yazsoft

15 February 2008 – 11:45 am

I WILL mark your comments as SPAM!

13 February 2008 – 11:26 am

Warning… if you leave me a mostly meaningless comment with a keyword in the name field, I will hit the SPAM button and Akismet with cause you pain across the entire Wordpress install-base. You have been warned. Moreso, if your comment is added to one of my older blog posts with good pagerank, I will [...]

Lifehacker doesn’t know about Colibri… and it’s the best!

4 February 2008 – 9:08 pm
