Linkblogging

I have been using my various social networks instead of my blog again. I am going to change that.

I have been irritated at the fact that the various links I find and wish to share wind up in various silos (my Google Reader shared items, my StumbleUpon favorites, links in various tweets and dents, Facebook posts, and Dugg items, to name a few). I have tried using various social bookmarking services, but these all wind up as another blasted silo I am stuck in. I am going to start linking to stuff I really like using my blog. I will still like stuff on the services I find it on, but if you want to see my absolute favorite links, make sure you are following my feed.

I went to bed last night around 4 am, and woke up at 8 from Dorer the Explorer. For those not in the know, this is a cartoon for special ed kids. In the episode that was on, Dorer was trying to take a penguin (el penguino) home that spoke nothing but Spanish. Because everyone knows that penguins are Hispanic. When I told Jennifer that I was “woked up by a Mexican penguin” she told me that sounded like the title for a blog entry, and reminded me of my new year’s resolution.

My new year’s resolution is to try to post at least three blog entries a week. I don’t know how interesting they will be, as my life is pretty boring, but I will still try.

I have been playing with the CodeIgnitor framework to make a web-based PIM for myself. Code Ignitor does make development much easier, but I wish it offered code generation like Ruby On Rails does. Code Crafter is an extension that does exactly this, but I can’t get it to work. Oh well.

Yikes! Been a while. I don’t really have much to say today, as I am tired as hell from working two shifts on Wednesday getting ready for Black Friday, then stuffing myself yesterday for Thanksgiving and not sleeping since.

Fortunately, I am on vacation next week so I will have some time to recover.

I just wanted to share a quick tip for Google Reader for people with lots of subscriptions. Read the rest of this entry »

I have been using WordPress for two weeks now, which (I feel) is long enough to make a basic comparison with my old software (TextPattern) for anyone who is trying to find a good platform to blog from. Read the rest of this entry »

I have made a couple more changes. I no longer require you to register to post a comment, though I still encourage my users to sign up. I have also prettified the appearance (and code) of my comments page. Even more (and better!) changes are coming, though. Keep your eyes peeled.

Also, if you are using IE, Safari, or Opera, here is a screenshot of how my site looks from Firefox. Viva la Firefox!
