I’ve really got to show this to my class when we talk about colors and palettes for web design: http://www.paletteman.com/ It’s a pretty good tool for putting some colors together and sampling them.

The Weblog aggregator at Weblogs.com changed it’s method of polling RSS files for updates in October, 2001. In order to quickly patch Greymatter to notify the Weblogs.com system, I took Aaron’s Bookmarklet for notification and tossed it into GreyMatter’s main script ‘gm.cgi’. The end result is that after I’ve added a new entry, I have a button I can use to notify Weblogs.com to come see my RSS file.
I’ve made a modification to the Greymatter main script. I’ve built a page that explains the procedure. It’s quite simple, simply a change to one line in the gm.cgi script.
Enjoy!

I think I’ve figured out a was to make GreyMatter ping Weblogs.com to notify it of a new entry being added. Wish me luck.

Novell GroupWise is a total interface nightmare. The Interface Mafia would have a hayday with it. This thing has this ‘Include Your Signature’ dialog box with a [x] check box that activates or deactivates the signature area. The actual buttons are Yes or No, but this odd checkbox just hangs out, doing nothing.
Should I even mention how, recently, the dialog boxes have started showing up in three different places on screen? Top Center, Middle Center, Bottom Center. To finish sending a piece of mail, I now hit 3 different confirmation buttons, in the upper left of a dialog, one in the lower right of a second dialog and one in the lower center of the third.
It’s nuts! I hate Groupwise!
