Various and Sundry

Wow, it's been a while. Here's what's going on:

  • Mark's now six months old! Time flies. He's huge and adorable. Check out the gallery for new photos, including our first hiking trip in our new backpack carrier! (Okay, it was only to the local park, but hey. Plus, bonus photos of his first time in a real swing!)
  • SpotDJ now has a Facebook app! Check it out and let me know what you think. I'm having a lot of fun using it as a personal jukebox during the day.
  • I've upgraded my BlackBerry Pearl to the latest OS from T-Mobile, and now I'm unable to tether it to my Mac successfully - after one successful connect, it won't reconnect until I pull the battery to reset it. Cingular users have been reporting this for ages, but I couldn't reproduce it until now. Here's hoping there's a simple solution.
  • DisableTextAds has been updated - I was contacted by the developers of the Lingospot inline ad system. They actually provided me with a simple hook for disabling their ads. Kudos to them for giving users the chance to opt out.

Greg,

Does your DisableText Greasemonkey script work with GreaseMonkey for IE (http://www.gm4ie.com/)?

I had to leave this comment to ask you my question because you don't have any email address or email form on your site (at least that I could find).

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the pointer - I wasn't aware that project existed. I'd be willing to bet that DisableTextAds doesn't work out of the box, but I'll see what I can do to make it compatible.

I actually tend to check for comments on DTA over at UserScripts.org, rather than through this blog, so check over there for progress on this.
