Voting for hope, originally uploaded by jmock.

My vote has been cast. Has yours?

We’re getting married today. In 4 hours. At least things have been relatively calm with the families so far… hopefully it stays that way. Right now, I’m frantically charging battery packs for the Digital Rebel since I forgot to do it last night. Hopefully they’ll both finish charging before I leave the house… I’d like to have some pictures other than the “official” ones.

I guess I should stop writing this and go shower and get dressed. Gotta run by the Bitter End and make sure our sound setup works for the after-party. Oh, and meet my groomsmen for a pre-wedding drink :-D

Anyway, for those of you who are coming to the wedding, I’ll see you at 2:00!

I recently had a conversation with an iPhone-owning friend about the 3rd-party apps he uses the most, so I thought I’d share my list:

Twitterrific

Since I use Twitterrific on my laptop to post to and keep up with Twitter, it was a natural choice to use it on the iPhone. The interface is great, and posting tweets is really quick, even on the EDGE network.

Elevens Balls ^[1]

This game is seriously addictive, a ton of fun, and an excellent time waster. If you’ve ever played 11 Ball on a Megatouch, you’ll love this game.

PDX Bus

Trimet bus stops and schedules on the iPhone. Absolutely essential if you live in Portland and ride Trimet often.

NetNewsWire

Another app that I use on my laptop. Lets me keep up with the RSS feeds I read without having to be sitting in front of the laptop.

Mobile Fotos

By far my favorite Flickr app. It allows me to take photos and quickly upload them to Flickr directly from the iPhone. The nearby feature is also very slick (it uses the GPS to find you and then displays photos taken nearby your location).

[1] - No link because it looks like this may’ve been pulled from the App Store. It’s not showing up in a search on the App Store, but I can’t seem to find anything from Google saying it’s been pulled or not. If it has been, that really sucks—the game is excellent and incredibly addictive. Anybody know what happened with it?

You’re the smartest, funniest, most beautiful woman I have ever met and I am absolutely honored that, in a week, you will be my wife. I’m am completely amazed that you’ve not only put up with me and my shit for the last 5 years, but that you’re actually willing to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

I don’t have much more to say other than thank you for standing by me and supporting me for the last 5 years. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without you. I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.

I really am the luckiest.

Last night I was working on cleaning a few things up when I noticed that the titles in the post navigation at the top of some post pages were butting up against each other (I tend to have long post titles). Once I fixed it, I decided I may as well turn the code into a plugin in case anyone else finds it useful, so I did :-)

Here’s the description from the projects page:

SN Post Nav is a WordPress plugin that truncates long titles in post navigation on single post pages so the display doesn’t break and the titles fit on one line. You can see it in action on this post.
