Using Chyrp
Switched to chyrp for my blog, I really like what I've seen so far. Looks to be well written and extensible in some cool ways. Hopefully can play with it some more soon, possibly extend it in some ways I might like.
Suppose maybe I'll post here more often? Probably not, I'll just keep twittering instead :)

I just posted a blog entry about the open source Twitter client I've been working on. It's over at Buttered Cat Blog. Hopefully some help will start trickling in.
Looking for a new name for it instead of TweetTweet, what do you all say about Tweetldum? Seems to be the liked one so far.

I've been super lazy and haven't gotten my old posts from Typo imported into wordpress, I definitely know there's a few articles that get linked a bit so hopefully I'll get them back soon.

So apparently there's this website Wikileaks who recently got censored by a California judge. The funny thing is that I hadn't even heard about until now. I recall seeing a few articles in my RSS feeds that mentioned Wikileaks but it never really triggered a response for me to read them. I didn't really look into what it was until I saw it mentioned on Daring Fireball.
The interesting part is that the link I discovered it through is in itself a link to boing boing, which is then referencing another site. Basically the news causes a chain reaction on the internet, since it ends up on high traffic places like boing boing and then just about everybody else starts mentioning or finding out about it like me.
I wonder what they attempt to accomplish since there's a ton of alternate domain names across many countries, not to mention using the IP address directly, that you can use to still read all the material on Wikileaks. They couldn't get an injunction on the hosting since I believe it's hosted outside of the US. Wikileaks was also given almost no warning, and didn't even have representation in the hearing.
So now that they've censored it, they probably just increased the visibility of the site instead of what they intended. And I just found some excellent evidence of that: Graph of blog posts mentioning 'wikileaks' in past 90 days
UPDATE: Looks like it probably hit just about every major news site, it was on digg and slashdot, which both have the readership to destroy a web server.

So with the news that NetNewsWire is now free, I decided I should try to fully switch to using it along with using delicious in place of google reader's shared items.
So if you follow my shared items, use my delicious feed instead, here:
Web: http://del.icio.us/jfro/shared
RSS: http://del.icio.us/rss/jfro/shared
If you really want to see everything I jam into delicious, use my regular feed at http://del.icio.us/rss/jfro
