Ignite Portland 2 was a blast!

Feb 06, 2008 11:00

The video from my talk is up. I'm disappointed that they didn't show my slides in the video, but man did I rock! I think that was the best speech I've given yet. I hope that talking about the Portland State Aerospace Society in front of 750 Portlanders will lure people to a PSAS meeting ( Read more... )

That's a neato idea!

Is it possible to have an RSS feed on it of your friends page updates? Or is that the one you were talking about having anyway?

You can get an RSS feed for any livejournal. I read all my friends LJs with my RSS reader, akregator. It's much easier than checking all their webpages. Here's a link to directions for what URL to use: http://www.ezoons.com/2004/07/28/livejournal_rss_celebration.html

Potentially, PSAS could have an RSS feed so people could keep track of what we're doing, and maybe read articles about making a rocket. At the very least, there should be an RSS feed for the PSAS picture gallery so people can see our pretty pictures.

Or you might find the LJ faq on RSS feeds more readable:

For me, LJ is still the best solution because the most people are on it and I can allow groups of people to read certain posts. That's for personal blogging though. Also LJ *is* my RSS aggregator. I read everything on my friends list.

If you go off-site be sure to post about it so I can create a syndication link for your feed. I probably won't comment though if it requires a login (there's still no good identity solution for this in 2008...)

Oh yeah, with a paid account you can customize yr style however you want, but it's not exactly easy.

Getting a paid account would solve the customization problem, but I really want to control my own data. It turns out that a couple friends of ours are starting a co-location co-op, and that would be sweet for hosting my site and pictures. If you want a space on half a server rack at a Portland co-location center, send me mail.

Tempting for one of my upcoming projects, but I already have a VPS that covers my needs for now. Too bad it runs CentOS...

That was an awesome talk and thanks a lot for sharing. I'm going to have to look into your group, cause I want to get a rocket to the moon. And I figure orbit's the hard part.

You are so cute, I miss you so much!
How is married life?

It's great! Jamey and I haven't been spending much time being together lately, even though we're in the same room with each other. We've both been really busy with work. This week things finally calmed down, so I think we'll be able to have more "couple time".
