This little snip of code will dump out a list of all the users and their email addresses on your install in a comma-delimited format that you can easily import into your email client. It’s particularly useful on larger installs: <mt:Authors include_blogs="all"> <mt:IfNonEmpty tag="AuthorEmail"> <mt:IfNonEmpty tag="AuthorDisplayName">"<mt:AuthorDisplayName />" </mt:IfNonEmpty> <<mt:AuthorEmail />>, </mt:IfNonEmpty> </mt:Authors> And the Authors...

Browser War Panel Brendan Eich – Mozilla Chris Wilson – Microsoft Charles McCarthie-Nevile – Opera First point: Where is Apple? They wouldn’t send anyone to this panel. Question to Chris, What is Microsoft’s message, especially considering Silverlight is proprietary? Silverlight isn’t what he’s representing, but Silverlight is still part of the web, much like Flash.... Read More

SXSW: A Critical Look At OpenID
Arguably one of the more interesting panels here at SXSW, A Critical Look at OpenID gave people the chance to ask a lot of question that as a non-developer I found relevant. The panel opened with a helpful comparison of OpenID to email. Your email address tells people something about you. (@gmail.com tells people you... Read More

SXSW: The Zuckerberg Interview Fiasco
I really wanted to see Anil’s presentation on Designing for Freedom. I had heard that Mark Zuckerberg’s speaking skills were lacking, and Anil had recently won Battle Decks. But since my wife has been a Facebook junkie since it’s near-inception, I thought we’d go and give her something interesting to tell her friend’s about. Boy,... Read More

Kick ‘08 The day started out well with Kick ‘08. (It didn’t hurt that we crashed early the night before.) About 150 people showed up in Palm Park, and almost everyone played. True to Anil’s word, no one was picked last. Team 1 picked some odd name and Team 2 (my team) stuck with ‘Team... Read More

Well, if I could boil the last few days down into a word: DELAYED. Our flight was rerouted from Dallas to Louisiana, where we had to spend the night because of a ice storm. We finally made it to Dallas, but we missed the new connecting flight they scheduled for us. Finally got there, only... Read More

We started off the conference several hours late, so there’s not a whole lot to talk about so far. I’ll just make a few observations: Texas is not as warm as you think. Bring a jacket next time. WAFFLEHOUSE! With a burnt out letter on the sign! We Northerners are deprived. Get a room near... Read More

Image CustomFields in Movable Type 4.1
Dilemma: Image Link Instead of Image Many of the sites I build use CustomFields to place a masthead image at the top of an entry. This takes the hassle out of uploading and really just makes it easier for customers to have a consistent look and feel for their posts. Trouble is, when I upgraded... Read More

Movable Type Template Map (.PDF)
For those of you just upgrading to Movable Type 4, I’m sure you’re experiencing a considerable amount of confusion regarding the new modular template approach. If you’ve just gotten on board, it probably makes even less sense. I won’t go into too much detail on this modular approach, because I’ve already dealt with it previously... Read More

Now That They’re Done Striking, Lost Writers Spill The Beans!
Entertainment Weekly interviews two of the Lost writers, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, fresh off the picket lines bringing us some wicked good spoilers. Those of you wracking your brains about the bracelet, drop it: DAMON LINDELOF: I got some e-mails from people who wondered if there was a connection between Naomi’s bracelet and the... Read More

It’s a terrible thing when your body starts losing control of itself, when cells begin to multiply frantically and that thing growing inside you is not a new life, but the dread possibility of death. Suddenly, the things you took for granted, the involuntary synchronicity that held you together begins to unravel and your body... Read More

It’s been far too long since I posted to the Tweak. Sometimes it’s hard to document when you’re working, but one of my resolutions is to do better with this (especially with the phenomenal strides Movable Type has taken recently). In the mean time, you’ll probably find more frequent, shorter posts that may not have... Read More

Today, I received word that my good friend Sarah (Roegner) O’Dell passed away. December of 2006, her husband, Aaron, invited me out to a birthday celebration for her. I couldn’t go because I was heading up our New Year’s Eve service at church. I promised to call and promptly forgot. I kept meaning to call,... Read More

Well, it’s not going to win any Oscars, but here’s my first attempt at timelapse filming. Voiceover: It started out like any other day. Little did they know what the day had in store. And for those of you with nothing better to do, check out my first attempt at claymation.

T-Mobile Hotspot @ Home Troubles
I spend hours at a time on conference calls, which can be problematic since I’ve only got a cell phone. Those 3 hour support calls with clients can really gobble up those minutes. I had been running Vonage, but that just didn’t work on so many different levels. In fact, the only solution I’d found... Read More
