Yahoo! Pipes is extremely powerful. I heard about it a while back, but never really payed any attention until recently. I was tired of the lack of news on my tech tab in Google’s start page, so I headed over to Pipes to create my own feeds. After watching the how to video I was [...]

Google Chrome
I’m a bit behind on this post, but if you haven’t tried it yet, I would suggest taking a look at Google’s new browser, Chrome. It is still in beta, but then again, beta is what Google says it is. Pros: The program loads a lot faster than Firefox, but that is probably because I [...]
Webmonkey Maps iPhone App Developer s Frustration – Webmonkey
Webmonkey has a great post up about how frustrating it is to develop for the iPhone. I have spent a little time in the SDK, and it is downright confusing. Granted, I have not given it enough effort due to time constraints, but it is the most puzzling development I have ever attempted. link
Master Page Name Mangling
I just read over some of my oldest posts, and found this gem. While I stand by it still, the code is unreadable, and using some class names that will not be relevant to your project. Mayhaps a better approach would be to create a class to implement in pages where needed. Again, this is [...]
Pixelpost
Pixelpost is a cool gallery system that cuts out all the extra crap. It is just your pics with back and forward buttons. You can see my current pixelpost install @ http://pixelpost.forrestledbetter.com. Zenphoto sounds promising as well. We shall see…I have tons of pics that need to be posted. If I can ever get a [...]
Firefox update
My post on Firefox is severely out of date. The only one of the plugins I listed in that post that I still use is Webdeveloper. I have a few to add to the list as well: Firebug. In my opinion, the best plugin to date. I’ll even take it a step further…it is the [...]
Enable Right Click
UPDATE: Do not keep this script enabled, only use it as needed. It could cause some issues while browsing, as it loops through every HTML element on the page. Greasemonkey script to reenable right clicking on sites that disable it for “security” purposes: EnableRightClick.user.js Code: // ==UserScript== // @name enable right click // @namespace http://forrestledbetter.com [...]
Functional Javascript
I found this blog on del.icio.us I think. This is by far the best explanation of the various ways to use functions in javascript. Don’t stop with this one, look at all the other posts. There is some pretty advanced stuff here, and javascript isn’t going anywhere any time soon.
Beryl-Themes.org
Beryl-Themes.org Lots of good stuff here. After getting used to Beryl at home, I truly HATE working on my XP desktop when I’m in the office. I’ve spent quite a while working with classic asp, and am working more and more in .net, but I would likely drop it all for open source languages if I [...]
LinuxMCE returns – Download Squad
LinuxMCE returns – Download Squad LinuxMCE sounds promising. When I tried to get MythTV installed on Fedora (core 4 or 5, i don’t recall) I spent most of my time fighting to get hardware recognized and working… I finally got everything working after a few weeks just to wipe it clean and install win XP [...]
