Become ONE

In January, I wrote about Bono and ONE.org, spreading the word about global poverty and the need for it’s end. I’m no Bono and I know I don’t have the size of his audience, but I’m going to do my bit. So here’s a challenge for you.

Flickr Updated

Flickr’s gone gamma. New features and all that jazz. Ok, so I’m a couple of days behind. Sorry ’bout that.

Apache Virtual Domains and PHP

Back in January I was asked to help build a new site/blog and was happy to do so (they insisted on the colors, don’t shoot me if you don’t like ‘em). Frederick also is a video producer, with his vidcasts on the iTunes Music Store, and wanted an easy way to them on the weblog […]
