WP Daily @ The Apple Store

I happen to head to the Apple Store at least once a week – not that I spend something every single time I’m there but pretty darn close. But I was on a two-part mission, the first being to get some necessary pieces of software and hardware for my mother who is the last person in my family of 7 to convert to Apple-powered products. My father, who was the most difficult to convert, was really the last stronghold that I had to crack – my mother was a simple phone call and she said “Yes” – so now I’ve got […]

Probably the number one question right now considering the increased interest in the GPL is what license Habari is. That’s easy, as it’s the Apache License. It’s worth noting that the Free Software Foundation considers the Apache License, Version 2.0 to be a free software license, compatible with version 3 of the GPL as well. But what does this really mean? It means that the ASL makes no (zip, zilch, nada) restrictions for works that are released: Derivative Works shall not include works that remain separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of, the Work and Derivative Works thereof. Historically it’s been argued that links to […]

A couple of weeks ago Code Poet shared a new Balsamiq template for the WordPress Post Editor. The guys at Modern Tribe created the template file and you can grab it yourself in this post. I decided to take it for a spin myself. I have used Balsamiq before in the past, so it was easy to get things set up. I didn’t have it installed on my current machine but luckily they have a 7 day trial so I was able to download and try it out. Once I got Balsamiq up and running, I opened up the template file […]

The Online World as The 5th Estate

Or as Matt Mullenweg shares specifically at the World Economic Forum, the online world is the 5th estate: I am an optimist, and I believe that people are inherently good and that if you give everyone a voice and freedom of expression, the truth and the good will outweigh the bad. So, on the whole, I think the power that online distribution confers is a positive thing for society. Online we can act as a fifth estate. It’s fascinating to think this way especially with all the power and opportunity we all have to create value and influence others but […]

And next is Amsterdam! Page.ly is expanding their POPs which is strategic because they already have a number of clients hailing from international locations. This will provide better local access and faster connections for all customers and visitors to these sites and that’s just going to be dandy for everyone. For now they are allowing a CNAME to be mapped with the chance that the underlying IP address to be swapped so don’t go map to an A record quite yet.

Cheri Lucas over on the Android blog shared with us late last night the release of the new 2.2.6 release for Android. With a new “Holo” theme available in 2.2.6 you get improved support for connecting over HTTPS, crash fixes (#394 and #395), and a lot of internal code cleanup and optimization. The result? Overall app size has been reduced. Not bad. Get it on Google Play. Rock it out.
