I think

September 27, 2007 by Michael Boyle

I have MT 4.01 installed correctly. Now for the fun of updating all of our templates etc. I like this very much, though, and even with my recent experience with WP I think I’m going to stick with MT.

If it has fucked with all of Nadia’s accents, I’m going to be pretty pissed. é à ça etc.

I love Camino,

September 27, 2007 by Michael Boyle

I love Camino,

but one problem that continually bites me in the butt is that Camino does a pretty poor job of remembering multiple login credentials at a particular site or domain. When I’m working on the back end of one of my blogs or with the interface of my webhosts, this is a constant aggravation. I’m pretty much forced to use Firefox again. I guess that’s not so bad though.

DEMOfall 07 starts today

in San Diego. Last year at this time I was in San Diego putting the finishing touches on the demo for Trigence, the Ottawa software company I was working for on contract. So, having been there, I wish all the DEMOing companies the best of luck – it’s going to be a rush. DEMO and DEMOfall are certainly among the best tech conferences out there. Here’s this edition’s list of participating demonstrators.

Mitch Joel is starting to work on

Mitch Joel is starting to work on

developing w00tSlam – A New Media PowerPoint Slam.

In his words,

I got inspired last night at the Pecha Kucha event that happened in Montreal. […] That’s when I got thinking…

There is so much confusion out there about New Media, Technology, Marketing, Communications, Advertising and Public Relations, why not take the spirit of Pecha Kucha and tweak it for business people or those interested in how New Media and Technology affects business?

Welcome to w00tSlam – A New Media PowerPoint Slam.

There are so many great projects getting started and already underway in Montreal at the moment that this is sure to be a great event.

The big media news yesterday

September 18, 2007 by Michael Boyle

The big media news yesterday

is that the New York Times will stop charging for TimesSelect, offering the whole paper free online. They say the subscription program was a success, but that they noticed the potential of advertising growth to be greater than subscription growth (which is what most said two years ago, but whatever – better late than never). The key to this, of course, is that the Times still does reporting, unlike most regional or city newspapers that have largely abdicated this function to the wire services.
