British Inside

I'd love to update some of my sites - they could sure use some updating. But I'm crap at web design. The whole "pretty" thing is sadly out of my reach. I want someone to design the layout, make it beautiful, cut it up and send me css+markup that I can skin the site with. I've actually started asking around, and found ...

Schtum: adj, slang. Keep quiet, maintain confidentiality  Working on a secret project at Telligent has made it tough to blog on technical subjects this year. I'm a big fan of open process and loved to talk openly about the development of Dozing Dogs CMS but that's not been possible with the new product in this higher stakes world ...

..and within 15 minutes (how is that possible?) the ringtone spam comments poured into my blog. So, this is it. This is the weekend that CYA moves to CS. It's not hard, thousands of people do this each day but the longer I leave it the bigger hurdle it appears. I'm just going to install it, set it to single blog mode and pick a theme. It ain't ...

OurLittleNet's domains are expiring, and today I notice that www.OurRoswell.net is starting to fail when requested. Only the alternative RoswellGA.ourlittle.net domains will continue to work. It's the end of an era. The Our Roswell website went live (on it's own) on September 3rd 2002 after a year or so building it in my spare time. The ...

After ramping up to blogging every day it all stopped suddenly this week. Recent developments (all good, don't worry) need me to concentrate on them for a few weeks, and inevitably it's going to be hard to blog about the mundane for a while. Plus another Dozing Dogs release needs tending, although I can't help think that I may be better served ...

Everyone is putting their cute PDC badges up, so here's mine! PDC, Los Angeles - 9/13 - 9/16. No thanks! MVP Summit, Redmond - 9/28 - 10/1 - Hell yeah! ASP Insiders, Redmond - 10/1 - 10/5 - Hell yeah! Sitting in Building 20 with 30-40 of the best ASP.NET developers and entrepreneurs, Scott Guthrie and ...

From friend Terri Morton:  And wow, you have been a blogging fiend, haven't you?? I hadn't realized it and had never added your blog to my aggregator. It's there now.  Yes, blogging has picked up a lot since I installed the latest version of the CMS. Before I kept being logged out, the sign in page was broken (it would redirect to a ...

I can finally tell you about an exciting phone call I had last Wednesday, and the incredible days since then that my family and I have spent in San Francisco. It's been a trip I can tell you, and very hard to keep quiet. It apparently started when Google noticed my OurLittleNet network of 1600+ city community web sites back in January. I had ...

After what seems like a long time away, I'm back to work. Christmas, then a trip away to Savannah for a week, then starting anew with two new computers - man, what a lot to install and configure. <lightbulb> Here's an idea for someone - write an application that monitors the apps the user installs and how they configure them. Save this ...

I recently split up a lot of the pages on www.DozingDogs.com - they were too long and I really don't like making people scroll and scroll and scroll. So the demos page for example I split into four pages, and added a little menu on the right of the pages to be able to navigate between them - it was just a simple [include:demosmenu] command. ...
