Making MOO MiniCards

October 26th, 2006

Jason’s Goldman’s post on MOO Flickr MiniCards reminded me that I wanted to get some for handing out when I met new folks here in NZ.

Helpful Dialogs

August 16th, 2006

I’ve recently started using the web based GTalk that’s available through Gmail. It’s pretty handy for quick little things. Occasionally I’ll even “pop-out” one of the chat boxes into it’s own window, for a longer conversation.

Trouble free tagging in web apps
