Tapestry – Your Favourite Comics by RSS

Found this via a link off a link off of Mark Pilgrim’s b-links (the rss version anyway) Since I closed the referring tab before I got to the page, I don’t remeber exactly where it came from. It was part of the discussion about silent data loss, IIRC.

[Quote] Tapestry is a series of RSS feeds for online comics. They help you keep up to date from within your favourite news aggregator, especially if you happen to miss a few days. [Quote]

2 of the 4 main comics I try to keep up with are supported, with the other 2 coming soon. There’s also quite a few others I’m planning to add to my list.

FireFox News Aggregator Plugin

http://sage.mozdev.org/ (probably a better link)

More than just an RSS reader, since it supports Atom now, too.

Just installed it – going to see if I like it better than bloglines or not. I must say, having it incorporated into my browser is kinda neat.

I think Mark Pilgrim may have finally lost it…

Check out his recent pink numbers post. Granted, it’s a comentary on the Purple Numbers thing, but I’m missing the point. Or is that the point? I don’t know – maybe I’m the one who’s lost it. I should go to bed. Yes, I think that would be best…

Bored with my site.

It’s been to long since I last redesigned my website – hell its been over a year and a half since I updated the homepage.

Maybe I should do something about that.

Guild Forum / Portal Software

I’ve been asked / volunteered to help set up and run a website for the Super Group I’ve joined in City of Heroes. (Chutta is currently running the group, if anyone cares.)

Anyway – I’m willing, and its not like I don’t have any experience with community sites. But it has been a while. Does anyone have any suggesstions for software? I’m imagining something similar to PHP-Nuke, but PHP-Nuke type sites tend to feel kludgy to me, as a user. (The notable exception was PlanetJumpgate.) I’ve got a valid vBulletin licence at my disposal, but somehow that seems over-kill for what we’re planning.

Basically what I’m going for is a basic guild news and information site with messageboards and possibly a group calander for scheduling events.

Any thoughts/sugestions for good (hopefully free) CMS software packages to look at?

Also – if anyone is playing CoH and is looking to join a Super Group, let me know.

I’m loathe to say it, but…

The latest version of outlook web access is probably one f the best webmail clients I’ve ever used.

It works really well in Firefox, even if most of the bells and whistles only work in IE.

This is, of course, my first impression of it after only having used it for about an hour. We’ll see what I think of it in a few days.

You may, or may not, already know…

and you may, or may not, care…

Mozilla Firebird Firefox 0.8 was released on Monday.

Mmmm, browser upgrade goodness. Lets see if I can still “install” it on a locked-down system.

Gallery Updated

I just updated to the most recent version of Gallery for the family photo album that only I seem to be using. (you know the one)

I’m not sure I like the theme I picked, but I’ll go with it for now. I can always change it, (or make my own) later

frostedlexicharm, simpsone I’ll be updating your gallery in a couple of days, just giving you fair warning.

It’s way past my bedtime.

GLUE POWERED Button

Just a little tidbit found on my morning blogrun: Blog Buttons Generator

I played with the “GUI” version by Adam Kalsey and came up with the following image:

Feel free to use or improve upon it. I can provide the parameters used to generate the image if desired.

Mozilla Firebird 0.6

That’s what I get for spending a few days off-line, Mozilla Firebird 0.6 was released last Saturday.

I’ve completed the download, and I’ll be running the installer just as soon as I’m done writing this, and I finish reading the other tabs I’ve got open.

wonders if it’s about time to check out thunderbird as well…

I think I’ll wait for at least one more build before I really take a look at that.
