In need of WD-40
Sunday, February 25th, 2007I had some free time today, so I decided to start on a proof-of-concept for my OpenID + Microformats idea. Holy $^#@ am I rusty with PHP. It’s now been about a year since I last done any sort of programming with it and I find myself having to reference the books I […]
A look at Songbird
Monday, February 12th, 2007Songbird is a cross-platform, open-source iTunes replacement that is built off of Mozilla. It has a similar look and feel to iTunes, but it extends many of the features. The site actually has a great screencast that introduces the unique features found.

He knows that there is no such thing as perfect software (perhaps with the exception of QMail?). He also knows that software testing is also a long […]
Blogging and school
Monday, February 5th, 2007I have started the third week of school and already I feel like I need to do homework every day to catch up. Taking Calculus and Physics at Cuesta and two online classes at Cal State Channel Islands has taken its toll on my available free time. There are some things I’ve given up during […]
SHDH15 and OpenID
Monday, February 5th, 2007This DevHouse I spent working on an idea that has begun to taken shape in the blogosphere. The idea was to merge OpenID and microformats to manage your online identity. OpenID has a registration extension that stores commonly asked personal information such as full name, email address, date of birth, and time zone. […]
