This is why my websites are never done.
The current version of the FlashBlock extension for chrome doesn’t work with the current version of Chrome DEV. When you click on the icon in the address bar in Chrome-Dev you get a message about removing the icon from the address bar, when you should see options to enable or disable for the…
Finally, a fix for this great extension! Hopefully the developer will push an update in the near future, but for now, this is easy to do.

Developers: OAuth support
For increased security and more resilient third-party apps, we’ve started early testing of OAuth support in the Tumblr API.
We’ve modeled our implementation after Twitter’s in many ways, supporting OAuth 1.0a with optional xAuth, upon request, where it makes sense such as mobile and native applications.
The existing authentication methods in the API are still supported for now, but we encourage developers to migrate to OAuth when possible.
To get started with Tumblr’s OAuth, integrate an OAuth consumer library into your project and get a consumer key by registering your app.
This is still in its early testing stages, so please report any issues. Thanks.
Awesomeness! Can’t wait to see some of the tools that’ll come out of this. (And maybe write a couple of them!)

A brand new SphereCat1.com!
Hi guys! Today I’m finally launching the new design for SphereCat1.com. It’s been in the works for months, and is completely different from anything I’ve tried before. Hopefully this one will stick around for a while!
You might notice something different around here, too. It’s because I just switched from WordPress to Tumblr for this blog. The old blog has moved to archive.spherecat1.com, so all of the older posts are still available. Comments have been disabled, however.
So why did I decide to switch away from WordPress, especially with 3.0 just out of the oven? I just didn’t need the power. WordPress is great if you want control of everything about your blog and have the time to deal with it. I don’t fall into either category.
I don’t have hundreds of readers (or any, really), and I don’t make a living off of this blog or anything along those lines. I just need a place to quickly share what I’m up to, and Tumblr provides exactly that! I still love WordPress, and I’ll probably be using it again in the future.
So, welcome to the new SphereCat1.com! I’m excited to see what I can do with it in the future, and I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
