    Telling Pilgrim that he’s making a mistake because Ubuntu doesn’t have as refined or cohesive a UI as Mac OS X is like telling someone who is switching from a Chevy Tahoe to a Toyota Prius that he’s not going to have as much cargo room. He knows it.

    I’d already re-done the tagging interface 3 times, and I’m still not satisfied with it. Trying to walk the line between consistency and subtlety with a feature is tough - especially one not everyone will use.

    Danny had a few very good suggestions, and as a result I think I have have an implementation I’m willing to release as an alpha for testing and feedback.

    One thing about working by yourself most of the time1, it can be easy to forget the benefits that come from collaborating with other smart folks.

    1. I do work with other smart people quite a bit on various projects, but I rarely have the luxury of another person with experience on the “web interface” side to riff with. [back]

It’s not just the search for Matt, but almost every page on my site has disappeared even for super-obvious searches. This happened within a day of the guy getting into my blog account. I have two theories, one is that when all my links started pointing to blogspot (he changed my siteurl) that triggered some sort of anti-spam flag, and my second theory is that [H]e turned on the new Blog Privacy feature in WP that adds noindex,nofollow to the header of your page, and Google was crawling me that very instant and removed my site. BTW, as an update to the previous entry, I have since found out that I did not have a super-obvious password, but rather he found it embedded in the source code in the SVN repository of a new project I’m working on that hasn’t been released yet. I’ve axed the repo, but at least now I don’t feel so bad about having an awful password on my blog. Regardless, the event was a good excuse to review my password strategy and make sure everything was fairly locked down. Update: I’m certain it was the noindex thing, which looks like it was on for about a week. Let’s see how long it takes to bring everything back and if I rank the same. Update 2: Everything is back to normal. :)
