Gallery 2 column mode
Gallery is now working and up on Tong Family. It requires a logon though, so you need to send me email if you want to look at photos of the kids, etc. Gallery :: your photos on your website. As usual, there are tweaks galore. One that I need to install right away is how…

Supernova conference notes
SUPERNOVA 2002 – by pulver.com. Hey the cool think is that the conference was actually both blogged and group blogged, so read it and weep. See Pulvar for more general information since the blog seems to be a temporary site with no DNS address, just a TCP/IP address

Great conferences (at last!)
Joi Ito’s Web: World Blogging Forum and the Tao of Conferences. At last some interesting conferences to visit. I have to admit, I’ve done so many conferences, I’m terrified of them. I’m sorry I missed the event down in San Francisco. Nice to have a list of ones that you liked. Sign me up for…

Windows remembered!
Doug’s Dynamic Drivel. It is nice to see that Fred Langa at least remembers what Windows in the early days was like. I’m sure it will be lost in obscurity, but the work of those folks was amazing. I had the chance to watch folks like Brad Silverberg, David Cole, John Ludwig pretty much singlehandedly…

Christmas Shopping 2002
Well the Christmas season has come and I’m still jamming to get all my presents out. Here’s where I’ve been. Sadly, compared to the last three all Internet christmases for me, there was narry a deal to be found and most of the .com’s and startups have dried up. Just look at Pricegrabber to see…
