I’ve made an interesting discovery — Skype Support is run by a buggy computer system, code named “Sandra Valle”, that attempts to use artificial intelligence to read your mail, interpret it, and send out a canned response.
I placed an order for some Skype phones. They never arrived, even though the Skype website reported them [...]
I’m happy to report we have just launched Word Count Journal:

Trying to get this app launched over the holiday period has been one of the most insane, yet bizarrely interesting, thing I have ever done.
I’m home in Georgia (USA), for the holidays. Our designer is home in Helsinki (Finland), for the holidays. Our developer is [...]
This past summer, our family has spent numerous weekends exploring the mountainous areas of Andalucia. In particular, we’ve been exploring the areas around Gaucín, the valley behind Ronda containing Benoján, and the next valley up the road containing Villaluenga. For each location, we’ve located tourist maps containing listing of local trails for hiking.
Unfortunately, many of [...]
Today our company launched a new website for Henderson & Henderson, LLC (which happens to be another company in which I’m involved.) H&H build one- to two custom dream homes per year in north Georgia, typically on Lake Lanier.

Over a period of a few days, MakaluMedia [...]

While running with my iPod the other day, a drop of sweat fried one of my original iPod headphones. Could anyone recommend a set of good sport-safe earbuds or headphones? Please email me at matt (at) makalumedia (dot) com Thanks!
I’m back home now from a two-week vacation, visiting family in the US. Had a great trip, and only wish it could have lasted longer than two weeks. I’m still recovering from jet-lag, and hope to get back to somewhat regularly weblogging soon. In the meantime, this post is a placeholderer so that certain friends [...]
Just happened on this very interesting educational article, associated with the use of the Mathematica software.
Bare Bones Software has released Mailsmith 2.0. Whoo hoo! Integrated support for PGP, Integrated support for SpamSieve, loads, and loads, and loads of improvements and performance enhancements. And best of all… it’s a free update for registered users of version 1.5. :-)
Another gem from my Irish buddy Niall O Broin. Yet Another MacOS X / Linux Metaphor.
Daring Fireball pointed out a really neat Finder tip: Once you’ve initiated a drag-n-drop in MacOS X’s Finders, you switch applications in the middle of the drag. Very neat!
Well, I thought it was funny. The 3rd Annual Nigerian Email Conference…
If you want to see what techies are capable of doing when they’ve got their hands on a lot of data and a relational database, and no idea whatsover of user-interface design, have a poke around the new and improved VersionTracker.com.
Consistent alignment? Nope. Consistent color use? Nope. Consistent anything? Nope. Sensible use of contrast? Nope. [...]
As you can see, I’m redesigning the site (none of the Section links work yet.) Hopefully this won’t be a complete exercise in the name of vanity, since we’ll also be installing Movable Type for the Marbella Cycling website, and I’ll use the same mixture of MT templates and PHP that this site is now [...]
Now that the Mac and the iPod support the AAC format, I’m re-encoding my CD library. The iTunes “auto-import-and-eject” feature makes this task much less daunting than it could be. Casually popping in CDs while I work, I should have the entire collection done in a few days. Since my original encodings were done at [...]
