ReSharper Return to Intended Price
ReSharper is no longer going to be the super bargain it currently is as they are raising the price. Even at $149, it’s a worthwhile product. But if you see yourself doing development with VS.NET 2003 for a long while (and don’t kid yourself, you will be), I highly recommend giving this product a twirl.

Today Akumi and I hiked the Paseo Miramar trail. To get there, simply take the PCH North till you get to Sunset. Take a right onto Sunset, and go up a little ways till you see Paseo Miramar on the left. Take it till it dead ends and look for street parking.

Read MoreTwiggy Update: She Likes That I'm Working From Home
A while ago I introduced you to Twiggy, our skittish Italian Greyhound. Well she’s no longer the skittish type. Skittish was so five minutes ago she tells us. Now she’s acting more like her full sized Greyhound cousins by being a total couch potato.

Customizing Keyboard Settings In RSS Bandit Part 2
In part 1, I bored you with excrutiating detail about how we keyboard shortcuts are implemented in RSS Bandit. In this second more exciting part, I’ll outline how to use a tool I wrote for editing shortcut settings. You can consider it sort of an unofficial RSS Bandit Power Toy. When we really nail down a nice UI for editing shortcuts, we’ll possibly add this as a configuration dialog within RSS Bandit. But for now, this is an experimental utility, use at your own risk.

You might not know this, but RSS
Bandit supports customizing keyboard shortcuts via an XML configuration
file. The reason you might not know this is because it is an
undocumented feature. Since I implemented adding customizability to
keyboard shortcuts, I thought I might as well document how it works as
of version 1.3.02.26.

In case you were wondering, I thought I’d tell y’all how it’s going. First of all, I’ve somehow picked up a southern accent as evidenced by my use of “y’all”.

Good Korean Food in Los Angeles
I’ve been told that for the best Korean food in the world, you need look no further than Los Angeles. The rationale is that you have a vibrant Korean community in Koreatown (affectionately known as K-Town) with access to better quality meat and vegetables than exists in the homeland.
An Abstract Boilerplate HttpHandler
My last project involved writing a lot of HttpHandlers to respond to HTTP requests originating from a cell phone. To simplify my life, I created an abstract base handler that handled a lot of the repetitive tasks in writing an HTTP handler.

Apparently someone went on an online
shopping spree with our credit card number. Fortunately the Bank of
America protection kicked in before they could do too much damage and we
will not be charged for the fraudelent activity. It’s mind bogglingly
easy for someone to fraudelently use your credit card. Think about that
the next time you hand your credit card to the waiter at the local dive.
MMORPGs Come Of Age - WOW Reviewed on NPR
On my drive home today
(being my last day at work. I’m now fully independent.), I was listening
to the show “All Things Considered” on NPR. Much to my surprise there
was a reviewer named Robert Holt who was describing his experience with
World of Warcraft, a massively
multiplayer online role playing game.

Looks like Google is responding to some critics who say Google takes all and doesn’t give back to the open source community. They’ve just launched Google Code, Google’s place for Open Source software.

What is Your Blogger Handle?
My first couple computers (TRS 80 and
Commodore 128) led very solitairy lives. Though they had the constant
company of a human companion, they lacked the familiar company of their
own kind. I wonder if they longed for a form of communication that
didn’t require a fur-less primate jabbing his fingers at a keyboard.
