MySpace is going pretty well for me. I already have 8 friends. Next friend I get is going to require me deciding who my top 8 friends are. As my brother in law would say, “Awkward”. I am sure if you look at my friends you would say to drop Tom, and it’s true, Tom is [ READ MORE ]
I saw today that Zend has released its Framework for download. I guess I don’t really know where to start playing with it. I am most excited for ZendXmlRpc, ZendPdf, ZendJson, ZendInputFilter and maybe ZendFeed. I also am curious how ZendController and Zend_View work. I have played with MVC’s before and ended up not really [ READ MORE ]
I signed up yesterday for TextDrive’s Mixed Grill hosting. A one-time fee gets me three great Joyent services for as long as they are around, one of which is a nice web hosting package. Since they sign people up manually, and it is the weekend, I haven’t gotten my account information for Strongspace or Joyent, both [ READ MORE ]

Everything you need to know about setting up the Akismet plugin can pretty much be found at Wordpress.com. For even easier setup, follow these instructions: Signup for a WordPress.com account. In addition to [ READ MORE ]
I realize the posts have gotten to be pretty infrequent lately, but I am going to fix that. I am moving my blog back over to Wordpress (typo is just to slow on my host and they can’t seem to fix it). Before any of that can happen, I am going to have to write [ READ MORE ]
Well, sort of big. I was looking through the swap-bot server logs today and came across a blog post written about swap-bot over at the Make magazine blog! Make is a really cool magazine that I have had my eye on since it came out just a few months ago. It is an O’Reilly publication [ READ MORE ]
I was just checking over my del.icio.us mp3 mashup feed and found a really cool We Will Rock You/Hey Ya mashup. The point that makes this post worth space on my site is that it was posted by drumbum (aka Vaughn). It is crazy to see bookmarks come through del.icio.us by people you know!
