• 07.29.07 Group Productivity On The Web posted in General

  I’ve been working to narrow down the array of possibilities for productivity apps at Circle Six Design. I’ve been looking for solutions that are accessible by both employees and clients, inexpensive and easy to use. Out of the array of possibilities, here’s my current list…

• 07.21.07 Screencasting and other News posted in Geekery, General

  I’m finishing up a screencast for Jott2iGTD2 and planning to do one for my Mail.app and iGTD setup next. I’m on a roll. I got Jott2iGTD2 finished up today, complete with a new icon and installer package. It should be online shortly, I just have to finish rendering the screencast and typing up the documentation. I’m having fun with my Blue Snowball Microphone. This thing is killer.

• 07.19.07 It’s my party… posted in General

  Well, it was my Birthday today. I got a lot of good wishes, in person and via the internet, which kept me going through an otherwise perfectly awful day. But all that aside, Bartek got me an advance copy of the next iGTD and the new notification system rocks. You can add tasks and archive items through any interface that can send cocoa notifications, including rubycocoa, so porting the current version of Jott2iGTD was simple. I should be ready to release the next version about the same time he’s ready to release the new iGTD. Improved guessing algorithms, way better parsing system, date handling, all that jazz. Coming soon…

• 06.18.07 Upgraded posted in Website Updates

  Well, I’ve been designing all of my new Wordpress sites with version 2.2, but just now finally got around to upgrading the blog. It seemed like a fairly painless experience with just a couple of plugin related glitches. I did it through Subversion so I’ll revert if anything goes terribly wrong. If you notice anything amiss on the blog, please let me know! In the meantime I’ve picked up work again on the Wordpress Theme Bundle for TextMate and will be releasing an updated version with a whole bunch of new, more advanced tags and options. I’m also almost through the testing phase for UTW-rpc and have a new AutoTag bundle to go with it. Still open to Beta Testers on that one, if you want in, let me know.

• 06.07.07 Project Management with Zoho posted in General

  I’ve been trying out project management options, looking for a way to track everyone’s todo lists, meetings, time and clients in one place. I’ve eventually landed on Zoho Projects and purchased a paid account. I’m really happy with the options it provides and the interface it uses. Here’s a quick rundown…

• 05.29.07 Speeeeed posted in Web Design, Website Updates

  Did you notice? The blog is WAY faster than it was yesterday. I got my CSS compressed with Marco’s plugin, my javascript optimized, compressed and re-ordered, and my pages being served with gzip compression. Man, what a difference. My page load times cut in half. Read on for a few tricks I learned today…

• 05.24.07 Finally Finished, Almost posted in Web Design, Website Updates

  I finally went live with the new version of the Circle Six Design site. It’s pretty heavy on the prototype.js with a lot of custom effects, but it’s completely valid and works just fine if you turn off javascript ;). It’s pretty much custom code from the ground up, still based on Wordpress, of course. I had a lot of fun doing this one and I’d love to know what you think!
