Tool and Time split I'm moving things around and experimenting. Trying to figure out how my moblog, blog, and wiki will fit together. Also, thinking about how to split my time, and where/when/how to use each tool. Here are some quick thoughts on how I currently use these tools and the next steps: moblog for capturing moments in realtime. Use my keitai's camera to take a close up shot to remind me of that moment. The shot needs to be close up since the photos are at 120px X 120px. Need to upgrade my phone to play with other moblogging features such as GPS, and larger photos. Hopefully end up with an AU A5403CA ... 2 megapixel beauty. blog - migrate and learn MT. Redesign. Explore CSS and Perl. Play with plugins, and hopefully make some simple experiments. Stop blogging about blogging, and redesigning. Just do it. Keep my current Radio, but copy it over to my own hosting . Got my MT up and moved most of my posts over. I'm gonna keep posting here until I get things straightened out w/ MT. The new URL I'm pushing things to is blog.oreno.org, and this design will goto blog.oreno.org/radio. wiki - keep adding to it. Hopefully other like minded people will join in. CSS it. Currently dumping things I learn at work. 2:34:46 AM      Google It!   trackback []   comment []

To MovableType or Not My Radio Userland blog is about to expire. Wow, I've been blogging for a year now. How time flies. Radio Userland is nice, but one thing that I don't like is that I have to use a certain PC to post. I would like a tool where I can post from anywhere ... enter MovableType. Some things that are pushing me toward MT are: I'm learning Perl, it's free, alot of customization options, many plugins. Oh, and Ke-Ta's subtle nudges ;) Regardless of tool I'm glad that I blogged 2003's experiences. I was just discussing with a friend how I liked to visit my past blog posts. It's kind of neat how memories flood back. Addicting. 4:32:03 AM      Google It!   trackback []   comment []

Feedster Powered Search Added a Feedster powered search to my sidebar. It searches my RSS feed and displays the result on their site. Paul introduced me to this service. It's got alot of possible uses and tools. There's a tool to boost or drop my ego ... under tools you can create a custom RSS feed to track your name. There's also a Feedster interface within WINKsite. 1:56:59 AM      Google It!   trackback []   comment []

WinkSite Sidebar Got my WinkSite moblog into my sidebar. I guess it looks painfully obvious. Kewl thing is it's a Javascript (or I should say ECMAScript) that writes an iframe tag that calls a ColdFusion page. The WINKsite emulator then reads my Radio RSS feed and spits it out. So my blog calls the WINKsite moblog, which calls stuff from my blog again. 10:59:33 PM      Google It!   trackback []   comment []

Keitai RSS reader A couple of posts ago I made a todo list, which included coding a Keitai RSS reader. I was gonna do it in ColdFusion, of course. WINKsite beat me to the punch and in ColdFusion too! I tried out their service, but unfortunately I can't access it from my Vodafone keitai. Normally I wouldn't have tried again and probably forgotten about the site, but an interesting thing happened. When I signed up I mistakenly entered my email address as chriskk @ NO S P A M pixic. om, whithout the N O S P A M portion. A company rep emailed me using pixi.com and explained that I might've mistyped my address. WOW, great service! It made me feel like they wanted me as a user. A valued customer! Now they're helping me so that I can actually see their service through my keitai. They're also a ColdFusion house. Another major plus. Some links to help with getting my Sanyo J-SA05 Vodafone (formerly known as JPhone) work with their services: CGI variables of my unit List of keitai phones with browser version, supported image formats, and colors supported. Official Vodafone spec of Sanyo J-SA05 Another interesting note is that Adam Greenfield of V-2, the organizer of the 1st International Moblogging Conference (See previous blog post, and google search), is now on WINKsites' board of advisors (See v-2, and Wireless Ink PR page 12-30-2003 Announcement). 4:42:58 PM      Google It!   trackback []   comment []

GEEK To Do List Before the New Year Some peronsal projects that REALLY need to be pushed forward: Wiki - Here's a link to what kind of Wiki I'm thinking about. Wiki Blog - learn how they work together. Base technology behind them. moblog - view by category, date, time ... and maybe someday by mobile photo color. This is an idea I picked up from Andreas Schneider. Note: I bet he's got the first moblog w/ GPS on the planet! Keitai RSS reader - I would love to read RSS feeds on my commute to work on the train. This could be a web-based keitai site, or something that gets emailed. 2:45:36 AM      Google It!   trackback []   comment []
