This news is pretty cool – all of FeedBurner’s Pro features are being rolled out across all accounts for free. Clearly, Google don’t need the money and have a different business model in mind – people’s data.

Still, I’ve enabled ProStats and am looking forward to using the MyBrand feature (so I can pop my feeds onto feeds.upfold.org.uk in due course). You have to email them to enable that, so I’m still waiting for a response.

Pretty cool features to have for free though. Don’t worry, we’re working on them for FOSSwire too! Well, I’m not, but other people are. 🙂

I have 5 Skitch invites. If anyone wants one, drop a comment. 🙂

Don’t put your email address in the body of your comment, just put it in the email address field then I can see it but not the spambots.

UPDATE: all gone!

An IM conversation a little earlier today:

Chris Van Patten: drupal 6 is going to be preinstalled with openid support
Peter Upfold: awesome
Peter Upfold: when is it out?
Chris Van Patten: soon, i hope… i have to digg up the email
Peter Upfold: digg lol
Peter Upfold: ;D
Chris Van Patten: hahahaha
Chris Van Patten: wow i can’t believe i did that
Peter Upfold: that’s what the web does to you 😛

Also posted on Chris’s Tumblr but I wanted to repost it here too. 😉

Thanks to Preferences dialogue regression in Firefox 2.0, the option to force all links that would open in a new window to open in tabs instead disappeared. Which is pretty stupid.

Just wiped out my old, bloated Firefox profile on my Kubuntu desktop here and suddenly, horror of horrors, it starts opening new windows instead of new tabs. I can’t use the Preferences dialogue, so…

browser.link.open_newwindow in about:config needs to be set to 3. Someone should make an extension which can change all these preferences that didn’t make the cut to 2.x from the GUI.

All fixed now.

Skitch – it has a bit of a quirky and unusual UI, but it is admittedly a very cool application.

Uploaded with Skitch!

Nothing like a bit of lolcode.

Left – MacBook with Firefox open, with the project I’m developing open and tabs with any other resources I need to hand.

Middle – IM and other random windows so I can stay in contact and stash stuff I want close. Only 1024×768, but ah well.

Right – code open in (one of) the world’s greatest web development IDE(s) – Quanta.

In town on a lunch break recently and as me and my friends walked past a travel agent, I noticed this:

It’s on a little LCD screen which is supposed to display the latest great deals on travel and entice people walking by to come in, but apparently someone didn’t notice that a slight bug crept in.

🙂

What fun you can have by pointing a camera at a monitor displaying the video feed from that camera.

Enjoy.

You can do this with VNC if you’re not lucky enough to have dual monitors. Beware though, you can lock up your system if you use VNC. So save stuff first. 🙂
