Well after several weeks of trying to work on things (and 10 days of waiting for SourceForge) I’ve managed to get the first Beta-build of PowerTray published and available for download.
The initial version has a few interesting features:
Plugin-based architecture to allow for future feature development
XML configuration file to allow for assignment of Hotkeys
Plugin for […]
Recently I was looking for something to block ads while I surf the net, something quick and clean, and preferably a plugin for Firefox. What I found was an extension called AdBlock Plus by Wladimir Palant. This has been a great little extension, as it blocks ads, (images, swfs, scripts) from appearing on the […]
Last week Google revamped their web-statistics package Google Analytics. The new look boasts some very web 2.0-ish graphs and provides all the same reports as before.
One of the new features is a drill-down world map, which provides a bit of an easier view of where your visitors are coming from. Some more detail from […]

I realize it’s not a new technology (its on ver. 23), but its one I’ve recently adopted. We’re planning on doing some re-arranging to put an office in the house, and that means computers in different rooms. What I need now, I said to myself, is a way of extending my wireless network to […]
Recently we’ve begun to deploy some Web 2.0 technologies within the workplace, namely blogs and a wiki. The team I’m on is fairly technical, and in some ways its a bit surprising that none of us had tried something like this before… but that’s a post for another day.
With the increasing popularity of the […]
For those of you who run your own blogs, and take care of the updates yourselves, I’ve created a Wordpress Upgrade script. Note: This is a Linux/Unix/Mac OS X shell script, not a Windows batch file.
The script is very simple:
Download the latest Wordpress archive from the website
Uncompress it to a temporary location
Migrate all of […]
