It's even worse than it appears.
Drummer is a better name than Meta.#
I have to use Facebook because so many other people do. Something new from Zuck? Oh please hell no.#
I saw this and for a moment I thought it said Mets. Maybe he should have named Facebook The New York Mets. He could've bought the team with the change that falls out of his pocket at night. #
If Zuck had asked me what to name his company I would've said name it The New York Times.#
I think we have a new version of the Drummer CMS that correctly handles blogs in all time zones. I'm getting incredible support from the Drummer users. This is the kind thing you have nightmare dreams about, a deployed product where you missed a serious problem in development and have to scramble to deal with. We still have some serious problems to deal with, but I think it's mostly possible to avoid them, and I'm confident we will get them fixed. I want to get to work on some new features, I really miss that. #
Update: the new CMS is deployed and seems to work. Most important the problems with international blogs appear to be solved. Drummer blogs are unique in that there are archive pages for each day, and month. Which is a date problem other blogging tools don't have. I was trying to think how we solved the problem in Manila and Radio, and then realized we didn't have the problem. Drummer is different. Which is kind of what you'd expect from a product with that name. 😄#
Property tax is a wealth tax. Why not tax long-term-held stocks the way you deal with real estate. Not that I want to pay more taxes, esp on my savings! 💥#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
