technology that was found under my Christmas tree this year—both for
me and from me. Maybe it will give you some ideas on how to spend any
Christmas money you received or gift return cash you acquired.

Micropatron gifts (L@@K L@@K)
Micropatron gifts (L@@K L@@K)
03/14/2005 04:24 PMWell, we're a week and a half into the three-week "fund drive" (if
you're just tuning in, start here)
and it's time for a shout-out to the kind people and companies who
have contributed gifts for some lucky kottke.org micropatrons (contribute $30+ and you
have a chance). If you haven't looked at the
list in awhile, you'll notice some additions.
I chose the gift contributors fairly carefully. With one or two
exceptions, most of the list is comprised of either
friends/acquaintances of mine who are supportive of what I'm doing,
companies that have an interest in blogs and blogging, products I've
used, or people who have gone or are going out on a limb to do
something entreprenurial in their lives (selling photography,
software, soap, books, etc...labors of love and commerce). I have a
special place in my heart for the latter group because they're in a
boat similar to mine and it makes me happy than I can help get the
word out about their projects.
Recent additions to the list:
Solid gold platinum executive class founder gifts:
Again, here's the
detailed list and here's how you become a micropatron for a shot
at one of the above.
Birthday gifts
Birthday gifts
04/09/2004 04:02 PMOn birthdays I like to give a gift. If I had a new beta of NetNewsWire
to post, I would, but it’s not quite there yet. Instead
I’ll just tell you a little about it.
After doing an upgrade just about every month last year, we needed to
take a little longer to do a bigger upgrade, to add a bunch of new
features.
I’m not going to tell you about all the new features today, but
I will talk about two of them. (There are many more... this just
scratches the surface.)
Browsing in place
This is perhaps the most-requested feature, the ability to view pages
directly in NetNewsWire.
Some notes about this feature...
1. NetNewsWire already uses Web Kit (the Safari HTML renderer) to
render item descriptions—in the current version, there is extra
code to prevent browsing-in-place from working. So the first
step in making this work was to remove code, which is not
what you’d normally expect when adding a new feature.
2. NetNewsWire, like many newsreaders, is a hybrid of email/Usenet
apps and browsers. This feature is at the very intersection of these
two types of applications, which makes it quite a user interface
challenge.
3. Even though this feature is requested so often, and even though
it’s demonstrably useful, a number of NetNewsWire testers were
against having it appear at all. They’re in the camp that says,
“Each app should do just one thing and do it well.”
I’m in the same camp, by the way—the disagreement comes in
when you try to define what “just one thing” is. In the
case of newsreaders, it’s increasingly obvious that browsing is
part of that “one thing” that a newsreader does. But, just
so you know, this feature is an option.
Weblog editor overhaul
The new weblog editor is a 99% re-do. The user interface has been
completely redesigned, and most of the under-the-hood code has been
rewritten.
There are several goals:
1. Make the weblog editor easier to use and, at the same time, more
powerful, with a more intuitive and more aesthetic interface.
2. Fix bugs (things like categories not always showing up).
3. Support more of the special features of various weblog systems
(things like image uploading, support for Movable Type and TypePad
keywords, etc.).
4. Make the text editor itself more powerful.
5. Add some other new features which I’m going to leave as a
surprise for now.
Anyway...
There are lots of other
new features to talk about...
But for now I’m just going to get back to work.

in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, “The iTunes cards, in $15 and $25
denominations, are good for the purchase and download of individual
tracks. Get the cards at local Apple retail stores and at Target, Best
Buy, Circuit City and CompUSA stores, or snag them online at
store.apple.com or Amazon.com. The online Apple store offers paper or
electronic gift certificates good for iTunes purchases, too.”

06/03/2004 05:04 AMAnd speaking of gifts
And speaking of gifts
12/19/2004 03:40 PMSo the most significant change in my technology-related life in the
last year is the elimination of spam without a white-list technology.
I used to use Mailblocks for my main account, but Marc Perkel
convinced me to try his own Bayesian spam filter.
I'm on record saying such systems could never work. I was wrong.
Marc's system is amazing. I get endless email. His system filters the
mail into three boxes -- my inbox, a low probability box, and a high
probability box. I have never found a mistake in the high probability
box, so I no longer look at it. I very rarely find a mistake in the
low probability box, so I scan it about once a week (maybe 1% error).
And it is almost fun to get an error in my inbox, reminding me that
there still is this problem of spam out there.
Anyway, I'm giving Marc's spam filter service to my family for
Christmas (no, they don't read my blog). And I'd recommend it to
anyone else out there looking for a gift (note, I don't have any
financial interest in this). As Marc described to me:
I
sell it as a service. I can do it several ways. If someone wants a
single email address I can give them a something@marxmail.net account.
$25/year. Or I can host their email domain for $95/year. Or I can be a
front end spam filter where I clean it and pass it on to their
existing email server $75/year.
You can reach him for at this
MarxMail address.
