I blogged about dasBlog 1.9 on Friday and was planning to upgrade, but I’ve been monitoring the developer list and it seems there are still a few too many little problems to make upgrading a smart proposition, at least for me. Better to wait a bit for the dust to settle.
dasBlog 1.9 Just Released!
Just a few hours ago, dasBlog 1.9 was released! I’ll probably upgrade my blog to use it, hopefully this weekend. It has tons of new features over 1.8 which is what I’m using for this blog at the moment. The following are the new features that I found most interesting: TagCloud Support Support for Mobile …
Finally: Community Server Hosted Edition!
It’s about time! Teligent Systems is finally offering Community Server on a hosted basis! In my experience, trying to install Community Server a total of four times over the past so many years, and .Text before that, I must say it is the most infuriating and difficult to install application I’ve ever come across!

The White Man’s Web 2.0 Club
After attending The Future Of Web Apps, I looked around for fellow attendee bloggers and while searching found Chris Messina’s post about the lack of diversity in the speaker lineup. Several commenters then started getting riled up to the level of a virtual lynch mob with comments like: Damned if I’m going to give hundreds …

Microformats: hCard
One of the things I learned more about at The Future of Web Apps was Microformats. The talk on Microformats was given by Tantek Çelik who is CTO of Technorati and it was easily one of the more interesting concepts covered at the conference (to me, at least.) I probably appreciated it so much because …

Wow. Looks like I’m going to be headed to the "Web 2.0 Conference for Business" in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia (near DC) next week. I’m psyched!

The Hanselminutes Podcast: Very Shiny!
Since I left Xtras several months back, I’ve finally had time to spend learning once again. I’ve focused my attentions in two primary areas: That which can be called Web 2.0 technologies (especially related to RSS and Mashups), and Things related to .NET development. One of the true gems I’ve come across in the latter …
About “One Laptop per Child”
If you’ve not heard of One Laptop per Child (OLPC) you should listen to this presentation Nicholas Negroponte gave about his $100 laptop at the February 2006 T.E.D. conference which I found over at the T.E.D. Blog. I learned of the T.E.D. blog by reading If your idea is worth spreading, then presentation matters over …
