QR Codes
Mar 9th
First off what are they?! (see the footer for mine)
here’s the QR Code for this page:
What that does is (if your mobile phone supports it) will send you to this page, on your mobile device, just by taking a photo of it on your camera, or using a dedicated program like QuickMark which is what I use on my HTC Touch Pro. (They have a free and you can purchase it for more featues, but I find the free version does what I need it to, as well as generate a QR Code for your contact list if you need to share a number this makes it worlds easier!)
So I’ve also added one at the footer, so if your browsing a page, that you want to view in your mobile device just snap a picture and your off and running! I’ll also start doing them for item’s that I will be making available for download.
It’s taken off in china, you can find stickers, codes on billboards (I did see one in San Francisco but it was too small to get while driving.) I even have a sweatshirt that I made for my old mobile site so get on the QR Code bandwagon and ride!
Pretty Permalinks enabled :)
Feb 25th
Well I finally went ahead and enabled the pretty links.
I’ve been told that the “ugly” way ( I liked it because the links were shorter making twitter easier etc. ) isn’t as SEO friendly… (not that it matters I get so few hits a day…) so I went ahead and enabled mod-rewrite on my server and enabled the simplest links I could muster (just %postname%) and viola.
Yea I know not a special post, but i wanted to let you all know in case you wanted to change up your links to me… I think the old links should still work though… w/e!
Authlite and Yubico DO care about customers!
Feb 19th
I say this as I just recieved a conference call from the guy’s at Yubico and Collective Software saying they noticed my blog post and that I had ordered there authlite package and asked me what I thought of there product and if there was anything else that I could want from them.
How cool is that!
I wish I could have talked longer however I was driving at the time so I had to keep it brief (but yes I did have time to mention linux login using the yubikey)
They also let me know about there affilate program which I’ve now signed up with so if you order a yubikey or authlite package using the following link I’ll get a small portion of the money! Sweet! (GET YOUR YUBIKEY NOW! 
)
