Re: Cozi Central now works with Vista!

Your link to the "release notes" is going to an application error.

This is the link: http://www.cozi.com/help/re...

It would be great to see what version numbers are released at what time somewhere a bit more visibly on the site so that I know if I'm using the latest version of the app and the Outlook Beta plug in.

Great service though! I have recommended you to two families that I know!

Re: Better Comments Manager – WordPress Plugin release

hightechdad — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 11:21:56 -0000

I would really like like to say that I love your plugin. It seems that it will offer lots of help to me, once I get an issue worked out. I also use a plugin called "Recaptcha" (which is pretty neat actually - I have written about it here: http://tinyurl.com/ytw8l6 ).

So, Recaptch is a comment spam protection that is visible on my post pages. But, when I use your plugin and try to make a comment, it gets blocked by Recaptcha (saying that I didn't put in the correct info).

So, is there a way to bypass spam protection within your plugin or can you point to a place in the code where I can put in the recaptcha code so that I can enter in the words allowing me to post?

Can't wait to try your plugin!

Ok...so, real 3rd party apps. Delivery mechanism...iTunes (?). Monetizing the process? Over the air downloads using the iPhone's iTunes?

Reminds me of what Danger and Tmobile did with the Sidekick (the first iPhone), only now, Apple has a better distribution channel.

@ John,

Perhaps we are both right, and really up to the developer. Some Freeware, some Shareware and some Commercial.

Only time will tell.

Re: Lil'Grams is the Twitter for Parents

Brian,

While my 3 girls are really "babies" in the true sense of the word, they will always be "my babies" so given that, I will give Lil'Grams a spin and potentially will write it up on my blog (http://blog.techdad.net) as well.

My brain is moving too quickly for my fingers...meant to say: "While my 3 girls AREN'T really 'babies' in the true sense of the word..."

They are actually growing up faster than I would like!

Re: iPhone Speaker Interference Foiled

hightechdad — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 22:53:57 -0000

Nice. How does it affect your reception? I believe the two are probably tied together. I have found also that by positioning the iPhone differently (like in the car), you can "change" the directions of the waves and reduce the interference (TDMA)

I did a review of some speakers that don't react to TDMA noise: http://weblog.techdad.net/2...

Next you will be telling me that you also have to wear a tinfoil pyramid hat to boost my reception AND block the interference. (grin)

Re: Disqus javascript or anchor tags conflicting with WP theme

hightechdad — Sat, 17 May 2008 12:33:10 -0000

Sorry. Last night I worked for about 5 hours on the blog and put in a new template so that I could resolve this issue. (I had wanted to do a new template anyway).

Thanks for the offer for help! Case closed though. New template works great with Disqus.

Still like the app, but I'm ready for 2.0 version where I can actually edit the SalesForce data (grin).

hightechdad — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:44:10 -0000

You guys are simply amazing. The fact that you are able to provide this so quickly and with so much attention to detail should be truly commended!
FANTASTIC! Keep it up!

Great job once again! I had predicted you guys would do this weekend, but man, I didn't realize it would be up AT THE BEGINNING! Awesome.

Re: Cloud Options - Amazon, Google, & Microsoft : Simpable

hightechdad — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:23:31 -0000

Might I also suggest that you add GoGrid to your test bed? We frequently get compared side-by-side with Amazon's EC2 as a Cloud Infrastructure provider. Also, we will soon be offering our own Cloud Storage service that mounts as a drive within the GoGrid Cloud.

It's only fair to have 2 Cloud vendors that are considered "Infrastructure Clouds". App Engine and Azure are Cloud Platforms which are quite different in nature.

hightechdad — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 11:33:40 -0000

@Scott,
If you need an account on GoGrid to help you with a review, contact me at michael [at] gogrid.com and I can get you $100 off your initial account.

There are some details on Cloud Storage here.

Yes, we have both an API and a web GUI web interface for controlling your IT infrastructure on GoGrid.

Thanks,

This is an awesome list. I'm an avid biz and personal twitter user myself and that is part of the reason I wrote this post on "Using Twitter is like Fishing" - link to post

Need to re-read some of those articles. Thanks for the list.

Re: Import from wordpress not working

hightechdad — Thu, 21 May 2009 00:02:48 -0000

I have used Disqus in the past, then moved everything over to IntenseDebate. Now, because of the great stuff you guys are doing, I'm back to Disqus. So, I deactivated IntenseDebate and comments (normal WP ones) were there. Then I re-activated Disqus (since I still had the plugin) and it activated fine.

The problem is, when I click the IMPORT button, it does some calls but then comes back to my admin screen but with a blank section. I don't see any of my comments coming in, nada.

What is going on?

Thanks,
HTD

Re: Import from wordpress not working

hightechdad — Thu, 21 May 2009 00:49:16 -0000

Just getting a blank screen (with the framework of wordpress, just
nothing within the area that plugin content normally would be). I did
de-activate it, went back to Intense Debate and now am playing with JS-
Kit. Issues with JS-Kit as well so I'm thinking there is something
malformed in my comments. Thoughts?

Ah yes, this is a built in safety feature of the Odyssey to prevent the door from opening when you are fueling the van. Makes a lot of sense actually.

I actually have quite a few older Logitech mice and I really do like
them. I am trying to see what other ones are out there. I would love
to do a review of the G7 (just read through the specs...looks nice).

The MX Air and MX Revolution are pretty stellar. I played with the Air
at MacWorld and really wanted to test it out more.

Glad that it worked for you! Next time, you can pay me (grin). Just
click some ads, Digg or tweet about my site is enough. Good luck to you!

I didn't report it but there are a variety of sites that can. Note
that while I was writing the article, it did start showing up on anti-
