My brother Clint has been blogging again after a bit of a hiatus. Go on over and say hi if you feel so inclined. Especially if you know how to help him with his FrontPage problem .

The more I write “real” software - not just demos, but things you actually have to make work for a user you'll never meet - the more I realize that you can never write just one application. Instead, you always have to write at least four:...

For a long time now, the FlexWiki development team (a formal-sounding term for a bunch of guys who hack FlexWiki in their spare time) has been working towards FlexWiki 2.0. We have a fairly extensive list of features that we want to implement to get there...

One of the things that always works to calm down my four-month-old daughter Ellen is to walk her around. If you're moving, she's generally happy. Since today it was about 65 degrees here in Washington, D.C., I figured I'd bring her along with me when...

I've been digging out from under a giant pile of tasks that have been accumulating since my daughter was born four months ago. Recently, I got to the point where I felt like I had the mound of jobs under control, so I started working on my TextEditor...
