New “I’m Presenting” Badge
I was just given this badge to display on my blog to encourage everyone to register and come see me present at UTOSC. As mentioned earlier, I will be presenting at the Utah Open Source Conference, September 6-8, 2007 on development of Pligg Modules, and probably a little about Pligg itself. This conference gets bigger […]
Read more...Facebook to Soon Allow Javascript?
First of all, it was excellent to meet and talk to everyone at the Utah Blogger Dinner on Thursday! I got to finally meet a few people, chatted a lot with many about Facebook, and was able to give a brief tutorial on Phil801’s laptop of the basics of setting up a Facebook app. I […]

I just finished my second Facebook app (well, the first phase of it anyways). I’ve named it “The SAC App”. It conveniently checks SteepAndCheap.com for you and sends you an update on your feed when the item has changed. It also adds a little shopping cart onto your profile, which automatically adds the item to […]
Read more...Apple: I Told You So!
I said it before, the iPhone is going to be a mistake for Apple if they don’t do it right, and it looks like I was right! Evidently, (and Phil801 beat me to this – I was going to post it last night) AT&T was only able to activate 146,000 phones in the first 2 […]

I saw a pleasant announcement (facebook login required) from Facebook yesterday: “Applications will very soon have the ability to attach arbitrary FBML content to a user’s wall, which will work in much the same way as attachments currently do for messages. The message action and callback URL for retrieving attachment content (specified on the application […]

I’ve installed a new plugin for WordPress that will now allow you to view Stay N’ Alive from your shiny new iPhone or any Mobile Phone nonetheless. I’m very interested in feedback on how you like it!
Read more...GrandCentral Invites
GrandCentral just gave me 5 more invites. I think I figured out a good way to make this work. If you want an invite, comment below, and say “I want one”. Then, once you have received one, edit your comment and say “Got it!”. Your only responsibility for participating this and saying “I want one” […]
Read more...Google Analytics for Facebook Apps
Today, Facebook announced they were releasing a new FBML tag for developers that would allow developers of Facebook Apps to track their applications via Google Analytics. Before this, because the code you put on your page is javascript, there was no way to track your apps. I tried to install this, but ran into issues, […]
Read more...GrandCentral Facebook App
Well, I took advantage of a low-hanging fruit, and wrote my first public Facebook app yesterday. My Picasaweb app is still in the works, but this appeared to be a bit more simple, as I would only have to deal with the Facebook API on this one, rather than the Google API as well. The […]
Read more...Grand Central – Google’s Path to the Cell Phone Market?
Today I received an invitation to Grand Central, Google’s latest buyout that they announced recently. I had heard of it before, but Google’s buyout piqued my interest. I started the sign up process, where they let you pick an area code (any US area code is allowed), then they provided a list of phone numbers […]
