Great post Micah.

I've been pretty active and fortunate with my weight for most of my life, but last fall I finally confronted the fact that my metabolism had started slowing down a bit, I wasn't as active as I used to be, and I'd put on about 20-30 pounds over the last 5 years. For the first time in my life, I had to get serious about what I was eating, how much, etc.

In the last 10 months I've lost 20 pounds and have another 10 or so to go. It's been harder than I expected, and a new challenge for me - especially maintaining motivation over time. I applaud you for kicking yourself into gear like this. Next time we lunch, we should find a kick-ass salad joint. :)

Yes, Google is also using the Share Icon - which is excellent.

Well, on MAJOR reason is that Camino uses native Mac controls, making it much more pleasant to use. Firefox controls look horribly out of place in OS X.

I completely agree that Firefox is the best browser for web development.

Andrew, have you looked into Refreshing? Looks like a Denver contingent is in the works.

Is that Thursday June 14th (I hope) or Wednesday June 13th (which I can't make)?

We've got FeedLounge working well in IE 6 now, and look forward to testing it in IE 7 at some point. :)

Re: Customizing Bamboo Invoice

Ok, fine - I'll put it all on one line.

echo date("F d, Y", intval(mysql_to_unix($row->dateIssued)) + ($this->settings_model->getSetting('daysPaymentDue') * 86400));

This looks like a great addition to the generated invoices, thanks for sharing it.

I wonder if the code could indeed be simplified a little though - how about something like this?

echo date("F d, Y"
, intval(mysql_to_unix($row->dateIssued))
+ ($this->settings_model->getSetting('daysPaymentDue') * 86400)
);

I didn't test this, so I really have no idea if it works as desired, but perhaps it will. :)
