Quick shout out to Peter-Paul Koch at QuirksMode.org for his very nice javascript browser detection script. Clever, and definately deserved more than a tweet. [include:blogad] 

Don't believe anything you read today. I know better, but I still forgot the date and believed Daniel had sold his company. His post was very well done, but I still think my old April Fool's Joke was better. Back in 2005 it was more believable I guess. I had a load of congrats emails that day, and I felt quite mean telling people I was ...

Rick Strahl: What can you keep in your Head? +1 [include:blogad] 

I was having loads of fun getting a "borrowed" web service running on the staging server yesterday. As with all code that you take without asking, there are always.. shall we say, "hiccups". Apparently every line in the web.config conflicted with the root web.config. And not in a nice way. Hack. Slash. Keyword/Value pairs ...

I'm quite looking forward to reviewing links between my sites and others, and applying XFN's rel="me", rel="friend" etc. Read more about XFN and check out this cool video from Google (via shoemoney).

Perhaps I should name 5 other people to modify this script when I'm done. First, it was Wyatt, then Jon, then Rich - and probably many others. Well, it's my turn dammit.

Yeah, working as a FTE does change your perspective. Way, way back I loved reading about and playing with SEO techniques - all new and sneaky. Just this month I've started looking around again at what's going on and frankly I'm stunned. All this talk of people earning $1m/month. wtf? I hadn't even heard of Google TrustRank until ...

I went to renew my Microsoft Partner Program membership today before it runs out at the end of the month. For a few hundred bucks I get 10 copies of XP and Office to use around the house - there are other benefits, but that alone makes me renew each year. This year, something is different. I'm now using FF as my default browser... So when I ...

I've had a blog post from Seth Godin marked as unread for a month now, even though I've read it a few times. I'm not sure why it struck a chord with me, but this wasn't actually something that Seth said - he was just reporting on some marketing that w00t did on adwords. Search for "goog" and you'll see ...
