Arc Tangent

Long time betwixt updates. Time for some short form posts. So, some things!

Geck­board — Got in on the beta of this. A pretty slick web-​based sta­tus board, auto­mat­i­cally pulls in data from Google Ana­lyt­ics, Base­camp, and sev­eral other apps. Also sup­ports cus­tom pulls from REST­ful APIs. Unfor­tu­nately, the colour scheme is not con­trasty enough for our office plasma screen, so no dice. (We’re work­ing on some­thing cus­tom instead).

Twit­ter mov­ing to OAuth (via Wired​.com) — Annoy­ing for me, but a good idea in gen­eral. The blogs install at work is stuck on a PHP4 box until I can move it (later this week), block­ing our upgrade path to a new twit­ter post­ing plu­gin that sup­ports OAuth. So much to do!

Future updates will prob­a­bly con­tinue in short-​form until I have some time to really write some­thing. I doubt the few site-​scraper ‘bots that visit this blog will mind overmuch. ;)
