http://www.nocertainty.com All my tech ramblings, ranging from website stuff to interesting gadgets. Mon, 01 Aug 2005 20:08:24 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It’s been fun while it lasted, but I’m quiting this blog. It’s over. I have no passion to blog anymore. I’ll still be around doing stuff, and you can always contact me at dennis@nocertainty.com. Good bye. http://www.nocertainty.com/2005/08/01/all-things-must-have-an-end/ I just received a press release from Google. They’re going to buy up Urchin. I’m not sure what they would want with Urchin. It is the best traffic analyzer, and I love using it, but what does Google want to do with it? I’m hoping they’re going to give it away ... http://www.nocertainty.com/2005/03/29/google-to-acquire-urchin/ I just had to do some research for a school paper, and I had about 20 tabs open. Can you imagine if I was using IE? I’d have 20 windows + other stuff (Word, MSN, etc) on my taskbar. Crazy. Thank god for FireFox. http://www.nocertainty.com/2005/03/28/thank-god-for-tabs/ I’ve switched to WordPress. I didn’t want to use my own custom blogging tool anymore, as it lacked a lot of features that I wanted, and I couldn’t be bothered writing those features myself. A short recap of the switch: Importing entries was a piece of cake. I wrote a short script ... http://www.nocertainty.com/2005/03/20/switching-to-wp/ I just came across BlogMarks, a bookmark service, like del.icio.us. Except it’s a lot better. It has a slick interface, the URL’s have a thumbnail (how the hell is that done??), and it has a bit of a social-linking aspect to it. Very neat, and you should definitely try it. http://www.nocertainty.com/2005/03/03/blogmarks/ Christmas is over, January nearly passed as well, it’s time I get back to this blogging thing. I’ve had plenty of rest lately, and I’ve got a few great entries lined up to be posted. Expect them later this week. I’m also going to give this blog a re-design. It looks too ... http://www.nocertainty.com/2005/01/25/its-time-again/ Merry Christmas http://www.nocertainty.com/2004/12/25/merry-christmas/ New tutorial up on PHPit: PHP On-The-Fly!. In this tutorial I explain the XML HTTP Request Object and its usefulness. There are some examples in the tutorial. The XML HTTP Request Object is pretty cool. If you’re building a PHP application (or any other web application for that matter), then you can ... http://www.nocertainty.com/2004/11/28/php-on-the-fly/ I’m not impressed with Link-Monkeys so far. It’s been over a month now since I bought their Copper package, and I still haven’t seen any results. Very disappointing. I e-mailed my personal rep a few days ago, and I still haven’t gotten a reply back either. I hope I get something ... http://www.nocertainty.com/2004/11/28/not-impressed-with-link-monkeys-so-far/ Jeremy has launched something new again: Blogger Jobs. Blogger Jobs is a special ‘blog’ dedicated to posting job openings that specifically ask for bloggers to apply. Often, it isn’t a mandatory thing, but it is a very much appreciated quality. I think this is absolutely great. It shows that companies, ranging from ... http://www.nocertainty.com/2004/11/21/blogger-jobs/
