In our dreams, the web looks good for all users. So we let web designers view screenshots of their pages in different browsers, at different screen resolutions and with different plugins. We’re trying to make this service easy to use, open for all (including access to the source code) and 100% free, as in free beer.
This is awesome! I thought of this idea a couple of weeks ago. Guess I need to act on more ideas I have lol.
This is the quote from the digg.com article:
Why? It isn’t science.
An interesting read that says intelligent design (ID), or a creator (ie God), is bogus basically because it is not interesting.
It’s interesting how the author looks at ID in an almost positive spin then argues against IDs two main arguments: irreducible complexity and specified complexity.
There is another article from the same author that pretty much attacks ID again.
I also found a 4 part series arguing the creation/ID side of things which is also an interesting read and references the previous article.
There are interesting points from both sides, but I’m still amazed at how someone can right of an intelligent creator just because it’s not as interesting as evolution.
Apparently some people were having issues with Switchfoot’s new album “Nothing Is Sound” in iTunes and in general. It could not be copied to the computer to listen to or put on an iPod. Switchfoot member Tim Foreman made headlines by voicing his opinion and publicly apologizing to fans on the band’s Web site about the problems with the CD.

Searched digg.com for switchfoot and found this article at billboardradiomonitor.com about the CD being recalled: billboardradiomonitor.com
Very interesting. Glad to see someone stepping up and confronting the record companies.
Bookmarklets are the greatest! They allow you to do interesting things just be clicking on a bookmark you have in your toolbar or bookmark menu. Here is a description from Stephen Ostermiller page of bookmarklets:
Bookmarklets are useful pieces of JavaScript code that you can save in your browser’s bookmarks. When you then click this bookmark it will run the code against the current page rather than the usual “go to the bookmarked page” behavior of bookmarks.
Here is one I made up to use the Coral Cache for the page you are on CoralThis! I also found another one on Stephen’s PageCoral Cache that is probably better 🙂 but I tried. Should have google’d “coral bookmark” in the firstplace. Oh well. He also has one for google cache as well that I will end up using.
Just drag any of those bookmarklets onto your bookmark toolbar or right click and bookmark the link to start using them. Also check out Stephen’s site or google for bookmarklets to find more.
Yes I can hear you saying now “But isn’t Jeremy a Linux guy?!?” Well yes I am and my XP partition on my computer hasn’t seen the light for over 12 months, but Microsoft has done some nice things for the industry and has set the bar (not necessarily high in all respects). Plus Windows turns 20 this year so even the most zealous Linux users have to pay some respect. Here is the breakdown as taken out of Maximum PC mag I read (assume Windows is in front of each item):
Go get the latest (November 2005) edition of Maximum PC to see all the details for each version.
There you have it folks. 20 years of Windows pain glory.
“An attempt at making the Linux and MythTV installation as trivial as possible.”
MythTV is a great PVR app for linux and KnoppMyth is an even easier way to get a home theatre box up and running. Also check out the systm episode that explains how to get a fully functional setup going from start to finish.
Found this link on digg.com. If you knew those DOS commands back in the day you will have no problem learning linux. Here is the excerpt from the article. “So you know DOS. You’re used to it, and it makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Snap out of it. This page is a list of Linux commands and they’re DOS cousins, so you can feel more comfortable navigating in the Linux world, though you might have already known some of these commands if you’ve ever used an FTP client.”
digg went down for a few seconds. You don’t see that every day. 
I heard our babies heartbeat for the first time yesterday. It was beating very fast! The doctor said that is normal, but she ended up talking through the whole time the nurse had the device on Carla’s stomach. It made it less than climatical but it went well nonetheless. Only 4 weeks or so until we get to see the baby again and possibly find out if it’s a boy or girl. Stay tuned.
My first time (that I know of) showing up in someone elses blog yeah! Glad I could help this guy out.
