New blog

Despite Andy’s excellent suggestions on the last comment, I decided to go with a simple Blogger blog, like this one. I actually did try and quickly download and install BlogWorks XML to do the job, but ran into server errors that I suspect have to do with something necessary not being installed on my web server. (MSXML parser perhaps?) Anyway, I realized that ReadyHosting’s track record of having the proper things installed for me to do a lot of scripting isn’t that good, and I was probably wasting my time trying different options just to find one that would work with this host. I already know Blogger will do the job for me, and will also, at some point, allow me to export the XML so I can turn all of the notes into something work-presentable. Since these notes are both for site conent, and for work review, that works for me.

I’ll be working more on getting the notes setup this afternoon, it’s not ready for prime time just yet. I’ll have the links for you when it is.

You can see the blog here or you can grab the XML feed.

    That re-application of NT Service Pack 6 seems to have done the trick on that PC. I even managed to get that mini-cd out of there and the CD drive put back together again without damaging the drive, which I wasn’t feeling too confident about going in, I must admit. I have the printers and…

    Darran Evans was kind enough to take a moment and tell me about a site he works on called Help With PC’s. Looks like a pretty useful site, I added it to the permanent list of PC help resources. It reminded me that there a lot of clean up that needs to go on with…

  • Thoughts for the weekend:

    The concept of realtime blogging at conferences is a bad idea. Not only is it rude to the speakers, because you’re obviously not paying as much attention and thinking about what they are saying, it’s a waste of your time and money. Case in point, how many bloggers have written something like “Missed some stuff…

    Put up my Gnomedex Album. Had a great time at the party tonight. Met and hung out with Tanya and Jerry, who work for a company I promised not to link to yet. They actually learned so much about website development at Gnomedex that they want to go home and redo a bunch of their…
