This is a test/ review of the new iPhone app from wordpress. It will be short since I am writing it from my iPhone, but so far, set up took less than a minute and I’m already composing. This is fantastic. It’s also COMPLETELY intuitive. Everything has been right where it should be, and the [...]

Douchebag Wordpress Plugin
By Jason

August 30, 2007
Got a douchebag always leaving lame comments? Mark him with an icon that lets everyone know how you feel.
The Douchebag plugin for Wordpress is pretty much the greatest idea ever. There are a lot of times when I dislike a comment, or a commenter in general, but you don’t want to a) delete the comment, [...]
Hardcore advanced renaming of files in Mac OS X and Windows

Renamer4Mac is an advanced file renaming tool for Mac OS.
Where was this app just a few weeks ago? I needed this desperately and ended up bugging my programmer for 30 minutes as we wrote a shell script (never done that before) to make some pretty sophisticated file-renames. However, I was pretty nervous to hit “go” [...]
Porn Spam and the search for Links

August 13, 2007
I noticed this morning that a comment had made its way into my queue for moderation on one of my rarely updated sites this morning. When I went to moderate it, I saw as I expected that it was spam and filled with links to porn sites. It had the usual “lesbian licking party” with [...]

Man, I love adding cool images to my blog posts, but sometimes it can be a pain to find an image, download it, upload it, get the path, and blah blah blah. So, imgred.com makes it easy to embed images in your site, but instead of hotlinking to the original source, imgred downloads it, places [...]
Firefox Inline Autocomplete

I spend most of my day with my hands on the keyboard and a web browser open. So, one feature I’ve come to absolutely love is Firefox’s inline autocomplete. Basically what this means is that when you’re typing into the address bar a URL, and you’ve visited a similarly named site before (for instance, I [...]

I’ll be the first to admit that this free script solution isn’t the most full-featured form builder I’ve ever seen, but it is very simple and handy for it’s intended purpose. Sometimes however, you need a little more muscle. Wufoo is just such a muscle. It’s a great, hosted service that lets you manage and [...]
Creating Web Contact Forms Script

May 5, 2007
Aaron Wall recommended this site in a recent TechCrunch comments thread, and I absolutely fell in love. I’m not much of a programmer, so I’m always bugging my partner to make me little scripts or do simple things for me when I need something, but this is the kind of thing that will help me [...]
Download POP Gmail from more than one computer
By Jason

April 17, 2007
One of the major downers when using Gmail as your primary email account is that you can only download emails to one computer using POP. You can set it to not mark items as read or move them to archive, but if you go from one computer to another, each trying to download emails to [...]
Check a site at a repointed domain before DNS catches up

April 10, 2007
So, my friend Matt taught me a nifty trick this afternoon. I had recently uploaded a new site to a server, then switched the DNS settings over to it. It was going to take a while before the DNS propogated itself, and I didn’t want to wait (actually, I wanted to double check it was [...]
