It’s been a while, a long while. This post is a summary of my professional, spiritual, nutritional and personal life over the last 2 and a bit years. Read the article for the full impact, but if you’re lazy, here’s the short version: Changed jobs, found the Mystery School, I exercise (and kick-ass), I eat better, and I got married!

Meebo got a facelift back in October, but I didn’t have the time to update my Chromeless Meebo Browser at the time. I found some time this weekend to sit down and figure out what needed doing, and went ahead and did it! The new version doesn’t really have any new features compared to the […]

So we’ve been trying to interop with a web service at work that requires Basic authentication. Unfortunately we get one of the following errors (depending on if we’re going via our ISA proxy server or not): System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. —> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data […]
The SAIX ADSL User Statistics page is great (ADSL account details required). The Firefox Mimimeter plugin shows the current month’s details in you Firefox status bar, but something was lacking. Ahhh – it’s the disclaimer of “the above data does not include any active sessions”. So I went an wrote a little php script that […]
I’ve previously commented that I was working on Mozilla rendering support for my Chromeless Meebo Browser, well now it’s here.
