Not anymore Henry

Interesting comparison between the knowledge of science and the knowledge of man by the always quotable Henry David Thoreau: “Science does not embody all that men know, only what is for men of science. The woodman tells me how he caught trout in a box trap, how he made his trough for maple sap of pine [...]

Back that thing up.

This is just wonderful. Marco Arment has recently released a back up application for Tumblr that is currently only available for Mac OS X. This back up application takes a fairly unique approach among blogging platforms in that it backs up your Tumblog using raw files to your hard disk. It saves HTML files [...]

Joining Project52

“Project52 is a personal challenge geared toward getting fresh content on your website. The goal is to write at least 1 new article per week for 1 year.” I’ve never liked the word “content” but I love when people set goals before themselves to write more. Anton Peck created Project52 this back in 2007. He has [...]

Yes, Panic has a blog.

In July of this year I conducted an interview with the co-founders of Panic about transparency in software development which was published in September. Prior to that interview in a short, off-the-cuff, via email, discussion with Steven he mentioned that they had just been putting together a plan for 2010 to help “lift the veil” [...]

Dan Rubin: “I know how to clean a fork”

My friend Dan Rubin hasn’t written on his site in 13 months. However, the other day he came out of hiding and compared his less-than-frequent updates to the way he approaches washing the dishes. I’m linking to his most recent post for no other reason than to say welcome back Dan. Oh, his site is Pink [...]

“Is anyone still reading feeds?” – Josue Salazar

Long-time friend Josue Salazar asks, via Twitter: “Actually, is anyone still reading feeds? I bet many mainly live off of content people are tweeting links about. Sensational content != good.” Sounds familiar.

Missing the old days of blogging

Michael Heilemann recently had an idea for a comment system based on Twitter @replies. Not a new idea, to be sure, as there are several rather well-documented solutions for this floating around out there. But that isn’t the bit I’m interested in with his post. I’m interested in the bit where he says he misses [...]

Random 60: Stop complaining!

Random 60: Stop complaining! | Favorite on Viddler. In the world of social media everyone has a voice. If you only have 1 follower on Twitter (I’m cdevroe, btw) or the only friends you have on Facebook (I’m on there too) are your relatives – it doesn’t matter – you have a way to spread “your [...]

A blog by any other name

This personal blog of mine has been around for a long time. It started in 1996 but it wasn’t called cdevroe.com then. Over the years it has, for better or worse, transformed more than a few times. It has changed names, domains, services, software, designs, and purposes. Today it changes again. I’ve decided that my personal [...]

MarsEdit 2.3 is out and supports Tumblr

You may have seen me quip about MarsEdit the other day on Twitter. Really, though, it is an excellent piece of software that should be given a go by anyone that writes a lot. I’m spoiled by a rich-editor in Wordpress, that saves drafts automatically and even has multiple revisions, and so I’m sticking with Wordpress [...]
