Flickr2Facebook v0.3

By Jonathan + March 18th, 2007

I’m trying to eliminate a few clicks when uploading a lot of images at once using my Flickr2Facebook tool. I figured that if you’re uploading a lot of Flickr photos at once, you probably want them going into the same Facebook photo album. To make that easier, I added a “click here to [...]

300 Stay the Course

By Jonathan + March 18th, 2007

I saw 300 (2007) last night on the Imax, and I thought it was visually stunning. The stylized violence was incredible to watch, although it was basically Sin City (2005) with sandals.

Having read about Iran’s negative reaction to how “Persians” are portrayed in the film before-hand, while I munched my popcorn, I was watching [...]

Battlestar Galactisimpsons

By Jonathan + March 16th, 2007

Ok, this is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while: the entire cast of Battlestar Galactica as Simpsons characters. And by coolest, I mean nerdiest. And by while, I mean since yesterday. But still, common! This…is…AWESOME!

Is it a problem that I still find Tricia Helfer attractive as a Simpsons [...]

Flickr2Facebook v0.2

By Jonathan + March 14th, 2007

I made some really quick revisions to the bookmarklet I posted yesterday. All the javascript is now loaded in dynamically so if I make any changes, you won’t have to download it again

If you bookmarked the bookmarklet yesterday, please erase that and bookmark it again. Wow, that was a lot of “bookmark” [...]

Flickr2Facebook v0.1

By Jonathan + March 14th, 2007

It’s way too late at night to be releasing alpha software, but I just got my Flickr2Facebook v0.1 completed and I had to show it to someone I wrote a bookmarklet that lets you scoop up photos from Flickr, and upload them directly to your Facebook photo albums.

You can check it out right [...]

A bunch of people have been asking me lately how Easynews works, so I thought I’d give a quick walk-through.

I talked about Easynews a couple years ago, and later, their competition from Guba. Basically, Usenet is a discussion system that’s been around almost as long as the Web and is mirrored across thousands of [...]

Zipcar upgrades their website

By Jonathan + March 12th, 2007

I’m been using the Zipcar car-sharing service for almost a year now and still love it. It’s great for someone like me that lives downtown, doesn’t own a car, and needs a car every-now-and-again to run out to Ikea or somewhere. Not to mention, it’s great to show a history of car insurance [...]

A couple of months ago, I blogged about the security holes in the ePass system, the online application that allows you to login to Canadian government websites. It all started when I noticed some fundamental flaws in the Canadian passport website after Chris had already exposed last April how generally frustrating it is to [...]

Upload Flickr Photos to Facebook

By Jonathan + March 6th, 2007

Now that I’ve finally joined this Facebook-thing, and Facebook has image gallery functionality and an API to use it, why is there no easy way for me to dump photos from Flickr to Facebook? All I need is a nice bookmarklet or something to click a Flickr photo and send it into Facebook. [...]

When NOT to start an online store

Today I was asked by a client how to start an e-commerce store on their website. I’ve shown them the Wordpress e-commerce plugin in the past. [...] Read the rest »
