I’ll be posting this to the Yahoo developer blog, right after I get done proofreading it, in response to their “Mybloglog?” post. Yes, that’s its title, and the question mark seems fitting. My comment: “Is it, indeed, closing down?” Today, it doesn’t seem to be, but somebody does seem to want to kill it. Remember… [Read more…]

Some of you might have noticed that the same photograph by Kymberly Janisch has graced the homepage for this group for some time, and maybe wondered if that was fair. Shouldn’t I rotate that image some more, and maybe give a little added exposure for the other members of the group, as well? In fact,… [Read more…]

Let’s start by repeating what I posted to the Yahoo developer network blog in response to the mention of the possibility of Mybloglog being closed by Yahoo, because nobody quite saw it on that blog, other than me: “Mr.Yeh, let me tell you how this looks from a user’s point of view.

Originally published on “Just In: Joseph Dunphy’s Newsblog / Connecting to Digg” on February 16, 2008. The post begins: “Yet another blog from he who could fill out the ones he already has a lot more? Perhaps, but like any good would-be engineer, I’m being cautious.

A discussion (of sorts) between a user (me) and the owner of a service (Larry Halff of Ma.gnolia) on that service’s homegroup on Flickr: Me, five days ago: “I was wondering if anybody else was having this problem. I recently got my invitation message to join the new Ma.gnolia – which is very cool –… [Read more…]

Note: I’ve deleted a small amount of profanity that was present in the material I’ve quoted, replacing it with roughly synonymous nonprofanity in parantheses, because I’ve decided to move toward making my own pages a little more family friendly. No profanity softening was present in the original text. I posted the following response to this… [Read more…]

Yes, it’s a general question, but looking in the help center, I found nothing very helpful, and I’ve already burned away more than an hour on this nonsense. Honestly, I’m starting to get a little angry, after a while. This should be a straightforward function on Vox, and it isn’t. Should I post this to… [Read more…]

Note: This is a question about a possible change in policy that, should it really be coming, one would do well to act on well in advance of its adoption. If you are not a Google employee, please do not try to answer it. Your guesses might be interesting, but nobody can really speak for… [Read more…]

I just edited an old post on a group, and noticed that Diigo has jumped onto the bandwagon and started adding rel=nofollow to all outbound links in its groups. Guys, please stop doing that. The standard argument for using nofollow is that its use deters spammers, even if the rate of spammage would seem to… [Read more…]

Those last few posts, which (as I’ve said) were the last few I posted to my old Yahoo 360 blog (the precursor to “Monday Never Comes”) as the preface to a story I’ll tell … later. I want to get outside. I will predict that very few people will be pleased with what they’ll end… [Read more…]
