My daily Adobe Updater experience: Launch Photoshop. Cringe as I see the freakin' Adobe Updater icon jumping in the dock like a crazed puppy dog. Switch over to it. See the completely unhelpful dialog above (Which file? Where should I place it? Why should I care? Leave me alone!). Force quit Adobe Updater.
Moving to Wordpress 2.5 messed up my RSS feeds but I don't think it's an issue that should affect others (I had a unique setup). I'm using the FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin and for some reason I apparently had a weird setup where I'd duplicated the wp-rss2.php script to wp-new-rss2.php, had FeedBurner feeding off of wp-new-rss2.php [...]
Wow…. just wow… http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2007/11/11/the_nerd_handbook.html I mean, this guy even knows about the old mac mini sitting on the floor next to my desk for the last few months. WTF???

I just upgrade this blog to the Wordpress 2.5 sneak peek. Everything seems to be working as before but if you do notice any issues, please leave a comment to let me know. While testing it out locally, I did run across an issue where clicking the Update Database button in wp-admin resulted in a corrupted [...]
My Finder fled the dock today. *Tries restarting*

If you really want to annoy someone on LOVEFILM, enter their email address in the "Forgotten Password" screen. Here's what happens: LOVEFILM immediately changes the entered user's password LOVEFILM emails the user with a new, random password and asks them to log in with that new password. If you're the poor sap at the receiving end of [...]
My friend and fellow Brightoner Simon Willison of Django fame has just released a lovely little mashup called wikinear that uses FireEagle and Wikipedia to show you Wikipedia articles that are relevant to your current location. If you are on the FireEagle beta, you can play with it right now. Otherwise, Simon has four invites that [...]
That's it, I give up. I'm shutting my ears off to anything that has Flash and iPhone in the same sentence. First Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen announced that they were working on Flash for the iPhone, now Adobe clarifies that no, it's actually not. You know, I don't even have the energy to go into the [...]
I've started setting aside a few hours every night to try new things. Two nights ago, I felted. Last night, I played with my Arduino board and light sensors. Tonight, I wanted to play with Django. I use the term "play" loosely. The problem is that there's no easy way to get started with Django. [...]
Lost note pad ("Mr. Scribbles"). Last seen at BarcampBrighton2 (University of Sussex Studen Union building) during the Social Network Portability panel. Small, with brown cover and lined pages. The poor thing is missed greatly and is probably alone and afraid. If you've seen Mr. Scribbles, please email me at aral {at} aralbalkan(.)com [...]
Stephanie's got a whole bunch of felting-related information, links, and examples up on her blog and she's been felting everything in sight for the past week or so now, ever since I got a little needle-felting kit from the Make stand at SXSW. Two night's ago, I tried my hand at it and felting actually [...]
Since I've been doing more AIR development lately I've had a need to create and modify SQLite databases. I've used Microsoft SQL Server and its tools a lot over the years, but I haven't used a wide variety of database programs. I've always been a big fan of Altova's product line, so I [...]
