I just found an interesting thing on Mac OS X - it's called Summary Service. What it does is summarized selected text - the size of the summary is adjustable. It's pretty neat.

Just select some text, go into the Application menu (the one by the Apple menu), go to the services submenu, and choose Summarize.

DevShed.com has been sold. DevShed was really the thing that brought me to work at InfoWest way back in 1999 (before Developer Shed, Inc. was spun off). It's really been the major focus of my life for more than 3 years.

I've been working on getting the new owners up to speed on the site, slowly losing the ability to do anything on it. I just demoted myself from Administrator on the forums today.

It's a sad time, but there are some projects we are considering that seem quite promising. It's just a matter of choosing which ones to pursue.

We also have to come up with a new name for the company - the new owners don't want us to use Developer Shed, Inc., as it is identical to the name of their website.
