Thoughts and commentary on web development

Use my blog

I’m trying out Adpative Path’s Measure Map, so come in and use my blog.

First impressions of this tool are pretty good. Dead simple to install, mainly because the whole thing is hosted remotely for you. The only set up you have to do is add some Javscript calls to a site wide include (ie, footer), and to your post loop and comments loop. Takes 5 minutes, tops.

Anyway, leave some comments, have a look around my kinda pathetic blog, and basically get me some stats. I don’t get massive amounts of traffic here by any means, so perhaps I should have put this up on UsableTypeto test it out, but it’s here now so get stuck in you loyal few! If it’s worth checking out, I’ll let you know.

gDisk for Apple Mac

A very cool little app I discovered today is gDisk. gDisk is a little upload client that allows you to er… upload files to your gMail space.

I never use gMail as an email client and I doubt I ever will, but now I can take advantage of the 2.5 GB that are sitting there doing nothing.
Heck, if I run out of space I can just move over to another account. That’s better than a kick in the teeth, or a £60 .mac account! NB: Yes I know .mac does more than just that.

Anyway, it’s handy for casual back-ups as well as sharing between machines. Checkthis one out.
