Old World Order
It's not fair, my best friend gets invited to join an exclusive, historical, organization and I get nothing. If anyone deserves to join such an "enlightened society" [quote from their site] its me!
Eh, never mind.

Gimme Gimme Gimmee

A big item on the Roller wishlist is better support for changing Themes. Andy has got the idea

I wish FreeRoller had a dummy skinner and some previewable skins with like a color picker and stuff... [Hacking Log 2.0]

Sounds like an app unto itself! Seriously cool idea though, you could change various settings and preview what it looks like. Not sure how you'd go about this though, considering all the different skins out there now, and how they likely differ in their CSS markup. Hey Matt, you got any ideas?

Is Big Brother in your Grocery Cart?

I had no idea this group existed. My wife doesn't understand why I hate shopping at Rainbow (a supermarket). I'll drive farther to Cubs (competitor) and get lower prices without needing some "discount card" that tracks my shopping habits. These things are worse than the cookies that DoubleClick uses (well, maybe not that bad). ( Dec 20 2002, 07:57:02 PM ) News Permalink Comments [4]

Weblog Comment Etiquette

Point taken, I think we could add some help text about how the Comments work. In Roller's case it'll have to be dynamic depending on which features are enabled (autoformat & allowHtml). ( Dec 19 2002, 06:50:03 PM ) Roller Permalink

Distributed Pair Programming

I was trolling this list of Eclipse plug-ins and found Sangam. Interesting, perhaps we could use this in Roller dev when we want to work together on a feature. ( Dec 19 2002, 04:02:15 PM ) Technology Permalink Comments [1] [Link]

Christmas Shopping Hints

I mentioned to my wife the other night that I still hadn't found the right gift for her. She sent me a little hint today, courtesy of E-Bay. ( Dec 18 2002, 08:12:29 PM ) Humor? Permalink

Re: Some Roller Ideas going on in my head

Jeff Duska has some features he'd like to see in Roller, many of which I listed for myself some time ago. But don't let that discourage you Jeff, feel free to implement any or all of your ideas, we'd love to have them. ( Dec 17 2002, 08:36:49 AM ) Roller Permalink

When Andys Attack!!

Or would that be "Andies"? No, that's a mountain range, right? Andy says that if I attack him I'll get triple digit hits! Will it work even if I'm not on FreeRoller? You be the judge (and thanks for the hit ;-) ). Andy, you've got a big nose and bad breath (well, I wouldn't know since I've never seen you nor encountered you in person, I just wanted to spread some FUD of my own).

A small bit later: Wait, I see I already hit triple-digits today. I think that is a first, and without attacking Andy. Heh heh, can't wait to see how many hits I get now. -- insert wicked grin smiley here -- ( Dec 16 2002, 10:38:22 PM ) Entertainment Permalink Comments [5]
