Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present.

Official WordPress Logos and Fan Art
September 22, 2008 – 2:00 pm
I know that Matt Mullenweg and Matt Thomas die a little each time they see WordPress fan art that uses a faux logo. I only notice the chubby W because I’ve been edumacated.
MT (the real) has updated WordPress.org/about/buttons with official WordPress logos in pngs and vector image formats.
There are also WordPress desktop wall paper in [...]
Interested in Freeing Yourself from the TypePad Trap?
September 18, 2008 – 11:49 am
My co-worker Noel Jackson, tired of hearing me whine about the Six Apart TypePad Trap, has created a WordPress importer mashing together the MT formatted export file (missing permalinks) and the broken TypePad AtomPub (missing comments and trackbacks). We are currently testing this on WordPress.com before polishing the code up and sharing it. We are [...]
First step in theming A Fool’s Wisdom blog?
September 5, 2008 – 12:30 pm
Inspired by the incredible time I had at An Event Apart San Francisco, I’ve decided to learn a little bit of CSS to actually theme this blog. What should I do first?
The last couple of years I’ve had no real personalized experience on this blog at foolswisdom.com. Partly, because it greatly eases testing of the [...]
Google Chrome’s Greatest Challenge? Open Source Development and Support of a Consumer Desktop Product
September 3, 2008 – 11:56 am
I’ve seen a lot of fantastic articles about what Google’s beta web browser Chrome is and isn’t, will and won’t be.
My good friend Chris Messina wrote a very interesting article, which in many ways comes down to a large, influential part of the web development community being disenfranchised from Mozilla.
Doom! Of course John Lilly is [...]
WordCamp Shirt, Do You Do Spelling Bees?
September 3, 2008 – 9:01 am
One of the many things that Kathy Seirra’s session at WordCamp SF 2008 has me thinking about is what does WordPress say about us using it. And what do WordPress shirts say about the us wearing them.
About half way through her session she talks about “T-Shirt First Development (Guy Kawasaki)”. I have about 7 [...]
Happy Birthday GNU!
September 2, 2008 – 2:25 pm
The GNU Project is 25 years young! And Richard Stallman and crew are working as hard as ever. Thank you!
The GNU Project is most famous for it’s versions of UNIX utilities and the GPL family of licenses. But whatever you think of Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation’s hard-line approaches and politics, everyone has [...]
Victoria’s Better Web Posse Disbanded?
August 29, 2008 – 2:53 pm
While at An Event Apart SF, I went to look up something on the Victoria Better Web Posse’s site, and was saddened to find that it’s offline, “Address Not Found”. I’ve emailed Gels Saby hoping to find out the status, but haven’t heard back from her yet.
Joan McIlmoyl Cleghorn on the Victoria Linux User Group [...]
WordCamp Kicking Ass Passionate Video
August 28, 2008 – 11:24 am
Any way I put together the title it was this long monstrosity, so I just removed the filler words and then some.
So, one of the WordCamp SF sessions that I was eagerly awaiting the video being available to share is Kathy Seirra’s “Kicking Ass and Creating Passionate Users”:
Kathy Seirra is one of my favorite speakers, [...]
Quebec’s Anti- Open Source Policy
August 28, 2008 – 10:36 am
Peter Nowak wrote a CBC article yesterday about Quebec being sued for not accepting software contract bids:
“Government buyers are using an exception in provincial law that allows them to buy directly from a proprietary vendor when there are no options available, but Facil said that loophole is being abused…”
The article has the tantalizing title of [...]
