WordPress To Disable Remote Access

Daniel Jalkut’s take on Wordpress’ decision to close the API for external editors by default. One thing is for sure, they’ve just made a decision for me. Time to port my blog to TXP.
Also worth considering: if a service is disabled by default for security considerations, what message does that send to people [...]

Bullit NetNewsWire Style

Cameron Hunt has released a NetNewsWire theme called Bullit.
Bullit is the style I developed to read my RSS feeds on NetNewsWire. Clarity and readability were the most important factors. Bullit uses 70% (and up to 700px) width for the reading column. Body copy is 13px Lucida Grande.
I’ve installed it and have to say it really [...]

The price is clearly the biggest thing about the iPhone [...]

Pet Hate

This is one of my big pet hates.

I don’t know if it’s a fault in Safari or the blog, personally I blame both. I don’t need a choice of feeds, I don’t even know what the difference is between Atom, RSS 1 and RSS2. Just give me one and let me subscribe when [...]

Things Touch

As an avid user of Things I wanted to bring this to your attention. The guys at Cultured Code are working on a version for the iPhone.
One of the things I like about the post was the way they allowed a sneak peek of what is to come. The sketches and drawings are [...]
