Post to a Drupal site using MarsEdit You won't tell Brent I posted this using ecto and nor will you tell James that I posted this to a Movable Type-powered weblog, right? [#]

Jeremy Zawodny in 2002: URL's matter a lot Was just searching for some counterarguments to my assertion that, in the future, URL's won't matter. His arguments that short URLs are better for email and because geeks prefer them are going to be weak when people say "just search Google for [insert keyword here]". (Already happening.) [#]

Bryght, the company I work for, launches redesign of main site Logo designed by Gryphic Creative, site designed by Steven Wittens. We also launched a support site, the content of which we hope to integrate into the official documentation for Drupal. [#]

Gmail introduces POP access I'm against IMAP access to my Gmail account, because that would make me feel guilty for not checking it. That said, POP access to Gmail is big because that means regular people can ditch their crappy web-based POP-less services (I'm looking at you, Y! and Hotmail). [#]

Integrate HTMLArea (WYSIWYG editing in textareas) with Movable Type Although the instructions are more than a year old, HTMLArea is what Matt is looking for. (There is already an HTMLArea module for Drupal.) [#]

Firefox 1.0 released Work still to be done on an official Mac release. [#]

Annotating images Flickr-style using Javascript and DHTML This functionality would absolutely kill in HTMLArea. [#]

Discussion about normalized data I was at the presentation in question, and the comment was indeed throwaway. [#]

November 4, 2004

Boris says that URLs are dead Great minds think simultaneously (or however that's supposed to go). [#]
