January 31, 2008 – 1:30 pm

Now that MarsEdit supports tags for WordPress, I no longer have to edit the post on the server to add the tags after publishing from the tool.

Gallery Kudos

December 21, 2007 – 8:01 pm

CNet’s Webware listed the revamped .Mac Gallery as one of their top ten site redesigns of 2007. However, after working on it, I do not want to go to Mammoth Lake, ever. [Thanks, Josh.]

An unhappy discovery about feeds in Leopard.
At Linden Lab we use an internal wiki, and I wanted to subscribe to the recent changes feed in Mail.app. The wiki uses HTTP authentication. When I tried updating the feed after I added it, instead of asking for my credentials, Mail threw an error dialog reporting that the [...]

Leopard Feeds Yay!

November 15, 2007 – 10:41 pm

A happy discovery this morning in Safari 3:

Click on the poorly named ‘RSS’ button in the address bar and get a list of all the feeds available at the current URL.
Torley, we need to talk about upgrading you to WordPress 2.3.

November 8, 2007 – 1:26 am

Updated version of the WordPress plugin for optimizing the display of blogs on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Now scrolls the location bar out of the way after page load, but does not conflict with links to named anchors on the page. From a suggestion by Donny Cruce.

iphone-viewport-meta plugin 0.7

October 10, 2007 – 12:33 am

I’ve updated my iphone-viewport-meta plugin for WordPress. The changes include support for the iPod Touch:

Now uses device-width constant instead of a value in pixels.
Test for both iphone and ipod in user agent string.
Switch from semi-colon to comma as separator, per ADC documentation.

James Craig has been great with pointing out bugs and changes to the viewport [...]

SproutCore and Web Gallery

August 7, 2007 – 2:33 pm

The .Mac Web Gallery announced this morning was our team’s secret project these past few months. To build this, we used a JavaScript MVC framework, SproutCore, that Charles Jolley, another member of our team, started before coming to Apple.
And yes, I know I’m contributing to the proliferation of cat photos on the Web.
One more thing: [...]

iPhone Viewport Meta Plugin for WordPress

July 11, 2007 – 11:12 pm

Get the plugin from wordpress.org.
Update 4: Plugin now hosted at wordpress.org.

Update 2: James Craig points out that the ID attribute is not allowed in the META element, so I’ve updated the plugin.
Update: I should add what my aim is. Rather than creating a separate [...]

Overflow and iPhone

July 9, 2007 – 12:32 am

Just noticed this, but if you set a div to a fixed width, any content that overflows the width is truncated, and iPhone safari does not provide a scroll bar, even if overflow is set to scroll.
Update: If you use two fingers, you can scroll within the overflowed div.

iPhoneDevCamp, WordPress, and Sandbox

July 8, 2007 – 11:57 pm

Update: I’ve created a separate entry for the iPhone meta viewport tag plugin. And yes, before you jump on me in the comments, an iPhone specific plugin is probably a little too specific (or twee for that matter.)
I spent iPhoneDevCamp poking around inside of WordPress, instead of joining one of the development teams since I [...]
