Blogging Pro (37) permalink
If you’re young enough to have watched the hit 80’s TV show Doogie Howser, M.D., then you must remember the scene at the end of each episode. Doogie Howser, played by Neal Patrick Harris, would go to his ancient IBM PS/2 and write his reflections there. In fact, it has been jokingly said that he was the first blogger. Now you can do a Doogie Howser and ramble with your daily thoughts with a simulated ...Contribute comment -

Like many of you, I’m addicted to reading Twitter. And not surprisingly, I’m also addicted to reading feeds. So you’d think I’d love reading my Twitter feeds in FeedDemon, right? Unfortunately, no. The problem is that Twitter feeds are plain text – no hyperlinks, no images, no nothing. As a result, reading Twitter feeds is a bland experience in any feed reader. For example, here’s how an item in a Twitter feed looks in the ...Shared by Aaron B.

Chris Dracket responded to one of my tweets the other day, saying that “OpenID should be dead… it’s way over-rated”. I’ve of course heard plenty of criticisms of OpenID, but hadn’t really heard that it was “overrated” (which implies that people have a higher opinion of OpenID than it merits). Intrigued, I replied, asking him to elaborate, which he did via email: I don’t know if overrated is the right word.. but I just don’t ...Shared by Aaron B.

Most email clients support the idea of “threaded messages”… that is, the client can group together individual email messages that are part of the same conversation, or “thread”. This is a particularly useful feature on mailing lists where multiple conversations are happening at the same time. For example, the following screenshot of the OpenID General Discussion list shows two distinct message threads in Apple’s Mail application: In order to match up messages that belong to ...Shared by Aaron B.
