I don’t have time to write anything profound and interesting but I thought I’d publish a little follow-through/daily update. I found a problem in my post on using wp-amazon in newer versions of word press so I fixed that. Also after getting into Mona Lisa Overdrive I have discovered that I really probably should have […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Although my current reading selection is listed as Swann’s Way, in truth I haven’t had much time to spend on “serious reading” so I haven’t picked that book up in ages. I do still read however. I stopped by Barnes and Noble in California last night and picked up Mona Lisa Overdrive. I’ve just read […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I use the excellent wp-amazon WordPress plugin to insert Amazon associate links into this site. Unfortunately the version from the web site hasn’t been updated in a long time and it doesn’t work in the newer releases of WordPress. In looking at the support form I found a link to this patch. I followed these […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve again let this site go for a month without an update. I transitioned from my contract with the U.S. Courts and am now working for an up and coming network storage vendor. It’s an interesting direction for me, as it’s a level three customer technical support role. Although I have done customer technical support […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This may not be news for anyone else (see these old annoucements that I missed here and here), but I just read in this Washington Post article that CBS has some of their shows available on Joost. I’ve been a Joost beta user for some time (earlier review), but initially I felt that their available […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
By clicking on a banner ad on the Washington Post, I found a link to the first annual Creative Economies conference being held October 24-25 in Tysons Corner, VA. I’m really interested in this subject (Wikinomics was mentioned on this site here and here). I’d love to go to this conference but unfortunately my schedule […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I saw this news article (via slashdot) that UC Berkeley is making some of its course lectures available via video on YouTube. I’m looking forward to checking this out. I’ve been a fan if MIT’s OpenCourseWare for a while, but MIT does not have all that many video lectures available. OpenCourseWare seems aimed more to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This site is now running WordPress 2.3 which came out a couple weeks ago. I’m excited about the built in tags support. Not sure exactly how that works but since I have been tagging things by hand for ages I’m hoping this will automate that for me (yes, I am aware that tagging plugins have […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Most of the stuff I find on slashdot I don’t bother mentioning here, since I figure plenty of people read slashdot and they can find out about that stuff for themselves. Every so often, though, I’ll duplicate an entry. Frankly I do this because I want to remember it later and this allows me to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I saw this article on VentureBeat that Mint, the online personal finance site, has launched. I have noticed press pieces about Mint off and on but I haven’t followed it closely. The idea is that you input your personal financial account information into the system and it then tracks and graphs your personal finances so […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
