MediaWiki 1.12 is almost done testing, and will be deployed soon on the Phone Encyclopedia. This release, like many MediaWiki releases, will make the Phone Encyclopedia “faster and more reliable”…
Today, WordPress 2.6 came out. This release makes mostly backend and caching changes. We expect it to be a quick testing phase, we’ll have it deployed [...]

Live from an undisclosed location in Northern California, the AT&T Retail Store in Chico. Welcome to liveblogging coverage of iPhone 3G, or iDay 2.0 as AT&T employees know it unofficially (iDay was the official title for the iPhone launch internally).
4:15 AM - We’re a little over an hour in (okay, almost two hours in). I [...]

In the middle of last month I attended MobileCampSF2, and the photos that came back from it weren’t so stellar. Someone finally however sent me a photo that actually shows me (and not as either an ant, or make me look sound asleep).

Yeah, that’s me. Want to see the presentation I gave? It’s posted it [...]

Back in the same place I was a little over a year ago. But, there’s no line outside the door for iPhone 3G.
Now, it’s not why you might think. See, fires in Northern California are so bad, that the smoke has actually gotten much worse from the last time I blogged about it. So bad, [...]

Today, Google confirmed to us that we’ll be showing up on Google News in the next few weeks.

I want to personally clarify that we have simply been updating [...]

The fires raging across California have impacted our operations. Namely, the smoke is the problem. I’ve been treating it as an extended weekend… but now reports are that the smoke won’t start to clear for another 48 hours.
Just to give you an idea of the state of things, at the high point, there have been [...]

There’s a lot of chatter about Motorola working on some super phone, and if that single device doesn’t sell well, then Motorola is going to sell their whole mobile phone division.
Uh, no. This is one giant Internet rumor that other sites have wrong, and continues to grow out of control.
What likely happened was this story [...]

As you know, we don’t like needing to register on sites. And, we compliment this on PhoneNews.com. We don’t require registration for posting comments, despite that taking hours out of our lives each month to control the spam and such.
Of course, when abuse happens, and things get out of hand, we have to shut that [...]

I know I’ve said I won’t be available, and that basically has wound up being doing everything but writing articles. However, this last leg of my half-hiatus will involve me going really, really dark. After today, I probably won’t be available until the middle of the month.
But, I promise, I’ll be back with a vengeance.
