ScribeFire update: 1.4.5

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

I've released an update to ScribeFire that adds a few oft-requested features: image positioning, font selection, support for Wordpress's "<--more-->" post splitter, and a confirmation dialog before deleting a note.

You can download the latest version from Mozilla Addons, or you can read the full release details at the ScribeFire blog.

ScribeFire Updates

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Some updates on the ScribeFire project that I'm part of:

  • There's a new website up at ScribeFire.com - a Wordpress blog with a clean, writing-themed template
  • A Support Forum has been launched for ScribeFire help and discussion.
  • We're on the verge of releasing our next version - it will be mostly small fixes and preparations for later larger fixes.

I think once this next version gets out the door, we'll be releasing much more often and looking for much more feedback from the community on what they'd like to see added to the tool.

Top 1,000 Diggers: 2007/05/23

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

This CSV files contains the username, number of frontpage stories, number of submitted stories, number of stories dugg, and number of profile views for the top 1,000 users on Digg.

Top 1000 Diggers as of 2007/05/23

In other Digg news, the last 13 stories from this blog that have been submitted to Digg have all been buried. This includes posts about TubeStop, Twits Like Me, the Digg Top Users list, ScribeFire, and Wii-specific Web design. (Contrast this search page with this search page.) This means one of three things:

  1. Everything I write is lame.
  2. There is a group of Digg users specifically burying content from my site.
  3. eFinke.com is on some sort of Digg blacklist and is being automatically buried by the system.

I'm leaning towards #2, but I don't know how they would track submissions from my site since the only way to do that has been broken for months.

If you'd like to be notified whenever I release a new dataset, you can subscribe to the Digg Statisical Data RSS feed, which will include only the dataset posts, or my main RSS feed, which is updated with all of my blog posts.

Own a piece of history

Friday, May 11th, 2007

For the low, low price of $189,900, you could own this piece of Web software history:

House for sale in New Prague, MN

This is the very building where I worked on such projects as Slashdotter, Netscape Navigator 9, OPML Support for Firefox, ScribeFire, the Digg Top Users list, and most recently, Twits Like Me. If you act now, I'll even throw in the very desk that I sit at while I work my programming magic. Deals like this don't come along every day, especially when you consider that I was named as Time Magazine's 2006 Man of the Year!

This introductory pricing won't last long, so you'd better hurry up and make an offer.
