BLOG

Bill paying and a conference call with a client really threw me off my game today. Then collecting daughter from school bus, getting her to dance class, dinner, etc… Long day.

I’ve been playing with nanoc, more specifically nanoc3_blog. I’m looking at it as a replacement for my current WordPress blog. There’s a WordPress Importer linked from the nanoc wiki that I’m trying to use. I’m creating a bunch of files, compiling some of them. We’ll see.

Interesting tidbits from around the web

• HTML-Ipsum – another latin text generator for designer types, assuming those designer types don’t think designing with real content is better.
• S3Hub – An S3 client for Mac OS X. Nice because until now it’s been a firefox extension or few, I think.
• heartbeat – an iphone developer’s dashboard for tracking sales information.
• Designers: How to Search For, Hire, and Work With a Web-Developer – Feels like spying on the other half, like reading one of those magazine articles about “how to get your to do “. Regardless, it’s a new perspective, one not wearing OMG rockstar ninja glasses.
• One Dead Simple Tactic for Better Rankings in Google Local – Not particularly useful for my consulting business but I know loads of local businesses that could use something like this.
• Alfa Jango Blog – has a couple articles on monitoring and tuning rails/passenger.
• The Complete iPhone Development Toolbox – this is a truly massive list of resources from tutorials to where to find developers for iPhone Apps.
