Every year the holidays edge closer and I am just awful at letting my family know what I’d like for gifts, a wishlist if you will. So a few years back I decided to somewhat automate the process. As I work online I generally see things I’d like on different sites and bookmark them to potentially purchase at a later date, I started tagging links with xmas2010 that year and then I could easily pull the list out and email it to my relatives, then it struck me, I’m taking too many steps there, I should just aggregate that info on my personal site.

Compatibility Mode was born, but the issue is that it doesn’t actually work as promised *sadface*.

Code Hoarding. Over the lifespan of a production website it’s easy when refactoring or doing some design updates to toss old code into a folder for later use, that we will never look at again. Or when we notice the myriad of folders like _old, archive2009, _red-site and so on we begin to feel a tad disgusted, yet still don’t clean it up.

As I’m ramping back up to get back into writing I’m looking for suggestions on the type of content you are interested in. I’ve been meaning to start publishing more snippets and such but am also wanting to hear more about what types of posts you like. Is it screencasts? Perhaps more software or services reviews? Let me know, don’t be shy.
