I survived

I sur­vived Career Day.I just got back from a long morn­ing over at Evans High School, and things went bet­ter than I had expected. I spoke with three classes — pri­mar­ily 9th and 10th graders. It was weird to talk to peo­ple about the kind of work that I do. Quite a few seemed unin­ter­ested in what I had to say. … Read the rest of this item

Sneak Peek

Here’s a lit­tle pre­view of the upcom­ing design for cdharrison.com: I’ve been putting a lot of thought into the UI design, try­ing to make the site eas­ier to use. I don’t have a time­frame for roll-out, but you’ll start to see bits and pieces of the new design start­ing to appear soon. My site has long been about stuff, … Read the rest of this item

Do everything via IM

Wow… so Will just told me about imi­fied and here I am try­ing it out. It’s an IM-based ser­vice that works with Base­camp, Back­pack, Blog­ger, Google Cal­en­dar, Mov­able­Type, Word­Press, and more… If this works like I hope it will… man oh man… IM just went from pro­duc­tiv­ity killer to pro­duc­tiv­ity enhancer.

Career Day

Just a quick note to let you all know I will be speak­ing at the 2007 Career Day at Evans High School — in Evans, Geor­gia — on Wednes­day, Feb­ru­ary 7th. I’ll be speak­ing to three classes about the kind of work that I do. To be hon­est, it’s a lit­tle intim­i­dat­ing. Some kids’ pro­fes­sional future might be impacted … Read the rest of this item

Can you digg it?

Well, a few bad apples have ruined it for the rest. Intent on gam­ing the sys­tem, some “dig­gers” have forced the digg.com staff to remove fea­tures from the site in order to main­tain some sem­blance of con­trol on the site. You can read more about the changes here: “A cou­ple changes…” Digg.com, in a per­fect world, is … Read the rest of this item

Ma.gnolia Firefox Plugin

Over at FirefoxPro.net, they’ve got a Fire­fox plu­gin for Ma.gnolia that I just started using. I’ve been using the book­marklets (Snap Mark and Mark in Mag­no­lia) for quite some time, but it’s a less than ele­gant solu­tion. This plu­gin adds a small Ma.gnolia icon to your tool­bar, mak­ing it eas­ier to book­mark sites. Before I started using Ma.gnolia, I used Del.icio.us to … Read the rest of this item
