Recently on Twitter I’ve had several people ask where they could find another good place for free WiFi in Atlanta. Each time I answered so I decided to maintain a page on my site with a list of the Atlanta WiFi Hot Spots I go to frequently or at least know about. Enjoy.
FCKEditor’s ShowBlocks Feature ROCKS!
FCKeditor ShowBlocks Feature The other day I wrote about how I was using Dean’s FCKeditor Plugin for WordPress to solve the problems with WordPress’ default TinyMCE editor eating my hand-coded HTML tags. Well Joe Banks left a great and detailed comment giving several tips including one about the ShowBlocks button. Unfortunately the default comment system in …

Intense Debate Error Message
Gotta love this error message I got when trying to set a password that was "too long" on Intense Debate:
Will the Future bring Bluetooth Proximity Marketing?
Photo by Nemo’s great uncle Several months back we had a meeting on Leveraging Mobile Apps for your Web-based Business at Atlanta Web Entrepreneurs and on the topic of mobile push marketing the consensus of the attendees was overwhelmingly “Don’t you even think about it, or I’ll end up ramming my mobile device far, far up …

Twitter URL = Universal Person Locator (UPL)?
I tried Twitter a year ago and either couldn’t "get it" back then, or I was just mentally, philisophically or logicistically in the wrong place to appreciate it. But I recently started Tweeting and all of a sudden I am seeing real value in it and am also seeing how so many others who still are not …

Atlanta Drupal July 2008 Meetup with Pics
It’s summer so meetup attendance is naturally low, and though this month nobody had prepared a presentation in advance it was nice to get together and "shoot the shit" as they say.

When I relaunched my blog site I went with v2.3 but did most of the work several months before I launched. When I had time to launch v2.5 was out but I decided not to delay launching again and just went with v2.3 with plans to upgrade to v2.5 as soon as I had time …

Fixing WordPress’ Eating of HTML div Tags
I should have known that not all would be rosy in my move to WordPress. It seems that core WordPress’ default implementation of TinyMCE consumes <div> tags in hand-coded HTML posts for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That behavior has caused me no end of headache as I’ve tried porting the HTML pages from my old …
