New Toys!

Well Blogger Pro is working for me now. Can’t wait to do some playing with it! Perhaps I’ll even setup a mail list so you can get my new posts emailed to you or something. I like the item title option as well. Now I can give some posts titles..cool. I need the spellcheck! I do like the automatic weblogs.com ping, but I think it should almost be a default option of even the free one’s. I like the ability to write drafts, that don’t show up on the website until I’m completely done editing them. That might actually keep me from “Doing a Dave”, and the ability to make a post in the future. That can actually make it possible for me to post while traveling, giving you fresh content, even though it really isn’t fresh. Of course with my laptop and digital camera, any trips I take will be dutifully covered in detail!

The 8,000 Pyrad impressions that are the special bonus for signing up early might come in handy too. Maybe it’ll pull in a few more readers. I can’t wait for the rss feed to be introduced, so folks can actually subscribe to the feed using Radio or some other rss aggregator. That and the e-mail list will probably make my hit counters be somewhat inaccurate, but hopefully enough of those folks will come back into the site to leave comments that I’ll know they’re out there. I live for feedback, have I told you that?

So what do you think about setting up a yahoo group to get the latest posts directly in your e-mail? I may not be big enough for that yet, but I have big dreams! 🙂

    Blogger and Google Plus Officially Tied

    That’s the news from the Googlesphere, that Blogger users will now be able to bring in Google Plus conversations into the comments of their blogs. On one hand, this makes sense, and might be quite useful for Blogger users who are also active on Google+. I hope they enjoy being able to extend their blog…

  • Not guilty

    Has reason returned to the land of DMCA? The jury in the Elcomsoft case seems to have decided it should! Here’s the important part of the jury instructions, to my mind: “Merely offering a product that could violate copyrights was not enough to warrant a conviction, the jury instructions said” Haven’t heard that point made…

  • Another aggregator!

    I’ve seen numerous pointers this morning to IntraVnews, an new aggregator that works along with Micorosoft Outlook. I might just have to try this out on the laptop. It’s free for personal use, I’d have to pay for it if I used it at work. I’ll probably download it tonight and see how it works…

  • Firefox upgrade

    Just to see whether they got better at dealing with my pet peeve, I downloaded and installed the 1.0 release of Firefox. The good news, is that rather than having to download and reinstall all the extensions again, now the browser disables all of the extensions. Then, at first startup it checks for updates to…

  • Hmm

    Maybe the next time someone at work gets the impression that I’m just a control-freak, mean, nasty IT guy who won’t let then use their PC the way they want to, I’ll point them to this Wired article on spyware. Maybe then they’ll get why things like Real are not allowed on our network? Yeah,…

  • Interesting questions.

    The recent news that the RIAA wants ISP’s to start paying a tax for their customers file sharing raises a number of interesting questions. To me, this has always been the “tipping point” of sorts for the whole file-sharing question. It was inevitable that the RIAA and MPAA would go after ISP’s. There’s no cost-effective…
