  • Major RSS Ticker Update Coming: What You Need to Know

    RSS Ticker has been an alternative to Web-based feed readers since 2006, displaying feed updates directly in users’ browsers.

  • Announcing Feedbar (Firefox extension)

    About a year ago, I wrote my first RSS-related Firefox extension, RSS Ticker. It was intended to be used for getting instant notifications from a small number of feeds. As the number of feeds I follow has grown, I’ve found the ticker interface inadequate and frustrating, so I’ve been working on a new RSS extension…

  • New Mozilla Addons site is was live

    Update: URL Fixer was acquired and is now hosted at http://urlfixer.org/ After a series of delays, the new Mozilla Addons site (codenamed Remora) went live late last night.

  • Shopping Made Easy

    I don’t like to shop. So when I decided that I needed a bigger desk (and a new coffee table and some PC133 SDRAM – email me if you’ve got extra), I did what lazy shoppers do – I hit up CraigsList. It turns out that since I live within a half hour of a…
