I’ve fixed some bugs in the hCalendar creator. Check it out.

Les Orchard has taken my hCalendar creator and remixed it into a GreaseMonkey script. Here’s his blog post about it. Here’s a screencast of it and here’s the user script.

Rip. Mix. Blog.

Update: Here‘s the Upcoming.org event for Tag Tuessday.

Kevin has just announced Tag Tuesday:

With many thousands of users adopting tags, we thought it would be a good idea to gather tag developers every month to exchange ideas, and encourage code that works well together.Our inaugural meeting will be:

June 14, 2005 – 06:30 – 09:30 – Tag Tuesday First meeting – at Gordon Biersch, 2 Harrison Street, San Francisco, CA USA

Meet other Bay Area tag developers, and hear Stewart Butterfield of Flickr and Kevin Marks of Technorati talk about tags.

I’ve made some updates to my hCalendar creator. The changes were optimizations to the UI and markup that should make using it more convenient for the common cases.

I’m having a problem, though, that I can’t solve. I hope one of my readers can help…

I’m using javascript to set the default start and end date based on the browser’s date. In Safari, which I’ve been using for primary development, when I hit reload all the values get set back to the default.

However, in Firefox, most of the fields remain unchanged when I hit refresh. However, the start and end month values do get changed. I can’t figure out a way to prevent this.

Any thoughts?

I’m at my parents house in KCMO.

The flight was nice. I ate at Gates BBQ on the way home, and now I’m watching TV…

Conan O’Brien just finished and the Carson Daly show just started. He’s doing a segment called “Do you parents know what a blog is?”

They call up a staffer’s parent and ask them “do you know what a blog is?” So far none of the parents have known. I don’t think my parents could tell you what a blog is.
