**Update/rewrite** I just installed the [PHP Markdown Extra plugin](http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/) in the blog, and it **seems** to be *working* My main reason for wanting a Markdown plugin is to use the offline blogging capabilities built into [Textmate](http://macromates.com/), especially with the introduction of the new [Blogmate](http://ditchnet.org/blogmate/) plugin. If the site blows up … well, I guess if [...]

I’m going to post a link to a you tube video. I vowed it wouldn’t happen, but I can’t resist this – if you grew up geeky (and if you are reading this, there’s a pretty good chance that you did), you’ll love it. Don’t watch if while you have a beverage in your mouth [...]
I’ve had some requests for my admin_delete_users_bookmarks_and_tags for Scuttle that I hobbled together some time ago. After going through all the files in my scuttle installation, I realized the only hack was that I changed the function isAdmin in the services/userservice.php from this: function isAdmin($userid) { return false; //not implemented yet }to this: function isAdmin($userid) [...]

This is a test post using TextMate, just because D’Arcy recommended it so highly. If it works, I just might end up buying TextMate instead of using Smultron. By the way, one great feature of Smultron that I forgot to mention in my text editor review was full screen mode. The text editor can completely [...]
As part of my M.Ed. project, I’ll be building a web site. Most sane people would do this using Dreamweaver or some similar product. I, however, am not one of those people – I prefer to create web pages by hand-coding the HTML and CSS files. I suppose if I wanted to be uber-geeky about [...]
This is just a quickie braindump post so I have some notes on a bit of tweaking I just did on the school’s installation of Scuttle, an open-source social bookmarking tool similar to del.icio.us. The problem we were running into was a lack of administrative control to get rid of undesirable (spam) links in the [...]
A few days ago, I got a BSOD on the old Wintel laptop. I’ve had the computer for nearly 4 years, and this is the first BSOD that I’ve got on it. Sadly, it may also be the last. This particular BSOD informed me that my Windows registry was … well, I think I can [...]
I’m back in black, with a MacI’ve been too long, I’m glad to be back.(with apologies to AC/DC)
