Is Jaiku for you ?
Submitted by J.B. Churchill on Sat, 2007-04-21 21:35I've subscribed to Jaiku at the recommendation of friend and co-worker Eric Farris. Its a good way to send short messages that your friends and associates and random people from the internet can keep tabs on you with. I'd say that its fun but I'm hoping I don't waste too much time on here. It has the potential to be a drain but thankfully the allure isn't that great for me. Balance is key.
Birding Info on the Open Directory Project
Submitted by J.B. Churchill on Fri, 2007-04-13 21:46There are maintained lists of links on the web (see dmoz.com). These are edited by volunteers. Google takes advantage of this so there must be something to it if it works better than their web crawler. But does it ? I found dead links on it like the old link to the Allegany Bird Club Web site. It did have the new link so why isn't the old link deleted ? It simply re-directs you to the new site anyway.
My Bird Database (online)

Learning HTML color codes (converting RGB to hexadecimal)
Submitted by J.B. Churchill on Sat, 2007-03-10 11:15I've been trying to understand how html color codes (hex codes) work and how colors mix so I can experiment with my own color schemes more intuitively. I came across a decent article at sitepronews (Understanding HTML Color Codes) that explained a little bit about the hexadecimal part. It seems intuitve but I learned that the Hex option on the Windows Calculator can help determine the hex values.

Teasers added to Google Personalized Pages
Submitted by J.B. Churchill on Mon, 2007-01-29 22:34Well I must come off as a proponent of Google. I have to admit I like my gmail and I like my personalized page and google reader. They recently added teasers to the google personalized page and I like them too.
Here is a screen shot of one of my feeds on my google personalized page with the teaser opened up. The Allegany and Garrett Countie's Bird Club is a website that I maintain.

Google "Click to Call"
Submitted by J.B. Churchill on Fri, 2007-01-05 22:04I just discovered Google Maps' "Click to Call" feature while looking for the local UPS facility. You can enter your phone number (which they only use once to connect the call), and your phone will ring. When you pick it up, it is already dialing the number that you are contacting. The call costs you nothing (even for long distance).
Get more information on Click to Call from Google.

IBM Web Design with Drupal
Submitted by J.B. Churchill on Wed, 2006-11-15 13:24I just listened to the latest Lullabot Podcast. Jeff Robbins interviewed folks from IBM who wrote a series of articles about how they developed a website using Drupal. The articles describe everything from the site planning stages to developing a custom module, theming with CSS and XHTML and major modifications to the code to support a new database (IBM DB2®). See the Lullabot link for more information.
