AT&T to Launch Trade-In Program This June?

jon — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:31:50 +0000

So, say you bought the iPhone 3G sometime in the last year and a new one comes out this June or July, technically you should not be eligible for the subsidy price. What does AT&T do about this? They introduce their new “Phone Trade-In” program of course. This may be one way AT&T will try to calm the angry hordes of people who feel they are owed the lower price. Keep in mind this is not without strings attached.

WPTouch WordPress Plugin Rocks

jon — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:58:09 +0000

I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with the WPTouch WordPress Plugin. It runs on this blog, and my photoblog and makes reading posts on an iPhone or iPod Touch so seamless. TJ installed it on his blog today too. If you’ve got an iPhone or iPod Touch, check it out.

Dan Lyons: Palm Pre Rocks CES

jon — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:04:14 +0000

The stakes could not be higher for a 16-year-old company that boomed in the 1990s thanks to its Palm Pilot personal digital assistant and then boomed again by morphing the Pilot into a smartphone called the Palm Treo. At one time these gizmos were the cutting edge of cool; today, they seem like relics from some dark, distant age, eclipsed by the Research in MotionBlackBerry and the iPhone.

I’ll keep my iPhone, but it certainly looks cooler than my old Treo 650.

It looks like the tips discussed in this article might be what I need to be able to combine the photoblog, clip blog and actual blog posts all into one WordPress instance. Another winter project.

Open Source Software Defined Ham Radio Receiver Up And Running!

jon — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 23:58:23 +0000

Tonight I was able to fire up for the first time the receive portion of my HPSDR, a GNU-type open source software defined HF radio. I was able to hear WWV on 15Mhz, and some folks on the 20m maritime net on 14.300. Pretty cool!

I ordered a Penelope exciter board too, but TAPR shipped me an Ozy by mistake — I didn’t realize it until I opened the box today. Hopefully they’ll find me one.

Some more pics (iPhone, not great quaility) of the fun after the jump…

Diary of a Self-Help Dropout: Flirting With the 4-Hour Workweek

jon — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 19:05:29 +0000

My days are like eBay shipments: a few tangible things and a whole lot of packing peanuts. I obviously need help being the boss of me. So I decided to try an experiment: I'd spend two weeks absorbing, in succession, three well-known productivity systems and see if I could find one that worked for those of us who count income in 1099s instead of W-2s. I already owned David Allen's Getting Things Done; Gina Trapani, editor of the blog Lifehacker, further recommended Julie Morgenstern's Never Check E-Mail in the Morning and Timothy Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek. That made three, and three examples is all you need for a magazine article.

Nix fixes dependency hell on all Linux distributions

jon — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 21:48:09 +0000

A next-generation package manager called Nix provides a simple distribution-independent method for deploying a binary or source package on different flavours of Linux, including Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, and Red Hat. Even better, Nix does not interfere with existing package managers. Unlike existing package managers, Nix allows different versions of software to live side by side, and permits sane rollbacks of software upgrades. Nix is a useful system administration tool for heterogeneous environments and developers who write software supported on different libraries, compilers, or interpreters.

Bourne Shell Server Pages

jon — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 17:25:25 +0000

Even as I was reading this email, my mind was racing, subconsciously piecing together the implementation details. The Bourne shell, it turns out, is quite well suited for this type of task…much more so, I dare say, than Java or C. The solution turned out to be both simple and elegant.

This document chronicles my foray into the not-so-fascinating world of ${YOUR_LANGUAGE_HERE} Server Pages technology. All of the code I developed is available for free download, so you can use Bourne Shell Server Pages to build your very own killer Web application.
