My apps are getting minimal publicity but I love it

So I was looking through referer logs on apps.drewburden.com today, and I find a link from RentACoder.com. Naturally, I investigate these sort of things. Someone wants an ASP script done that will tell you which of your friends has added you to their top friends. I think it’ll end up using my apps, and I [...]

Just add an account with the MySpaceIM protocol and set your user name as your MySpace email address. While it has the plugin, I can’t guarantee it will work. If it doesn’t, just [...]

More than you ever wanted to know about traffic signals

My “That’s Amazing” tag just bum rushed all the other ones out of the way, except for the standard Links and Quickblog. Traffic lights governed by ‘stop-bars’ – Amnews.com

I think we should give this pill-poppin’ asshole the Imus treatment.
