New Look, Perhaps? Thanks to Julie over at Sexy Magick for allowing me to customize my blogs look and feel a bit better. Notice, to your left, a column with some links that I visit frequently. 3:10:42 PM    comment []  trackback []

Holy Crap! A good source has informed me that I am a hero, of sorts.  I never thought of myself as that, just someone trying to share an appreciation for good music.  Here's hoping that the goods help my good source make it through the weekend with the in-laws in town.  9:05:13 AM    comment []  trackback []

"They Like Me!" So, I was skimming my various RSS feeds late last night in FeedDemon, my aggregator of choice for the PC.  I came across this little gem on Rob Carlson's blog, Epistolary: Jason J. Thomas. This is the weblog of Jason J. Thomas. ... [Epistolary] I immediately thought to myself: "Cool.  I was linked by someone."  That is the cool part about the blogosphere, getting linked by someone and ultimately being a part of this community.  I feel warm and fuzzy.  8:44:36 AM    comment []  trackback []

Remote Posting Works! During a fit of late night geekiness, I decided to get things working to allow me to use Radio Userland to make posts on my blog while I am at the office.  In my research via Google, I had a few options available to me: 1.) Turn on the mail-to-weblog function within Radio; 2.) Install a third-party tool that functions much like the option above; 3.) Find a free dynamic DNS provider to provide my connection with DNS name and open up the ports I need on my Linksys router. I decided to go with the third option and open up the ports I would need to remotely access my workstation.  Options 1 and 2 seemed easy, as I would be able to mail on items such as news and other interesting things.  However, further research showed that I would have to become familiar with some commands to make things like a title and category posting work.  At this time, I just wanted to do some light posting when the need struck me and at the same time allow me to work on some very simple design changes.  Now, I can do this remotely and not spend my precious night-time being geeky.  Besides, that geekiness interfered with my ability to occasionally consume Guinness--which always won out.  8:35:08 AM    comment []  trackback []
