Designers And Developers: Donate Your Time, Talent At New England GiveCamp, June 11-13, 2010

One of the things I found out about at Tuesday’s MSDN Northeast Roadshow stop in Augusta is the first New England GiveCamp, June 11-13 at Microsoft’s Northeast Research and Development center in Cambridge, MA. I’m attending, and I’d urge you to do so. A GiveCamp is basically a gathering of developers, DBAs, project managers, designers [...]

RSS Feeds Now Show Full Entries

As I’ve finally gotten the hang of Google Reader, I see the value in having full posts, and not just excerpts, available from an RSS feed. It’s so 2000-and-late to think in terms of whether a Web site is “sticky,” and even in terms of SEO; it makes far more sense to think in terms [...]

Grouping Your WordPress Blog Comments By Type: Comments, Trackbacks And Pingbacks

First, my apologies for the extended period of time off I took from this blog. There’s no great scandal behind the break I took; my health and humor are just fine. As Technorati notes, somewhere around 95 percent of blogs haven’t been updated in three months; I just kind of fell into that groove. But [...]
