Ordered me a new couch today, IKEA will deliver on Wednesday. No word on exact time of course: awesome as always.
The one nobody wanted was a Flash book, by the way.
I put 6 tech books into a window board of the house’s hallway this noon. It acts as an anonymous book sharing cache. 5 were gone 4h later.
Avatar upload worked with Firefox now, and only after having moved the crop box a little. That one didn’t show at all with Safari.
So, what strategies are there in place for synching Identi.ca and Twitter?
Win. Searched for my USB stick for 3 days, even ordered a new one yet. Just found it in my coat. Why would I put it into the *right* pocket?
First shot at identi.ca. Avatar upload is broken, throws annoying PHP errors. And where’s the API, anyway?

Tram drivers after work, talking rather loudly about children and babies that have been run over by trams. Rather strange & inappropriate.

Any recommendations on a simple PHP CMS? Just need pages + sub-pages and file uploads for admin. Nice looks out of the box preferred.

Whenever I have to type in my administrator’s password, Mac OS X open keyboard viewer … no clue when and why this started to happen …
Haven’t looked at feeds for days and missing nothing. Loving that: more focus and time to do stuff.

Got spam this night that had the name of an ex-gf as sender and a subject of “You’re going to die. ” Stared at it 10 seconds in shock. :)
Off to the dentist’s. What a joyful way to spend the evening.
Okay, I declare NetBeans unusable on the Mac. Too slow and unresponsive. On a different note, the neat Balsamiq.com made me install AIR.

Using CPWebView to display HTML in Cappuccino
In the #cappuccino channel on irc.freenode.net, the question came up how to use CPWebView to display simple HTML links. This is how:

[contentView addSubview: webView];
The first line creates a new CPWebView...

Tweetie supports Instapaper! Now I can read tweets on the go, and read links at home. Me likes.

Workaround for Safari File Upload Timeout
For some file upload scripts, Safari times out if you send the upload request fast enough after the last request that loaded the page. This problem is discussed in detail in the WebKit bug tracker. Since the issue seems to be rooted in Apple’s framework code instead of WebKit code, everyone needs to wait for Apple to fix it.
