Thanks to grahams for pointing out that LJ now supports RDF feed syndication, and for setting up shacker2 as an LJ user. shacker2 automatically picks up and mirrors my MovableType blog. This means that LJ users can add shacker2 as a friend and read my birdhouse posts through their friends pages. Most righteous.

I am now very close to being able to post to MovableType and have an excerpt of my entry show up automatically on LJ. The cron business is all worked out* -- all that remains is to get the blagg author to work out a minor bug in his script. Stay tuned ( Read more... )

Trying to set up a system that will cause all my Movable Type posts to be mirrored here on LJ for friends lists. Have everything working from the command line just fine, but it just won't work from the crontab no matter what I do ( Read more... )

After almost two years (whoa!) on LiveJournal, I've decided to switch to a MovableType blog. I have weird feelings about pulling away from the fantastic LJ community, but the more time I spend with MT at work, the more I find myself wanting to take advantage of its features and etc. The fact that I was able to find a script to convert LJ XML ( Read more... )

The Large Hot Pipe Organ is the world's only MIDI controlled, propane powered explosion organ. The LHPO's pyro-acoustic explodo-rhythmations will throbbatize your earholes and dance-ify your booty and make you realize what "Industrial Music REALLY means! ." Get one of the MP3s playing and look through the picture galleries, or watch one of the ( Read more... )

Fairly impressed with the first release of iCal, but disappointed that you can't publish to a single calendar from more than one location. I would have expected a calendar to be attached to a single .mac account - instead it's attached to the computer you're on. That means you have to, say, publish your work calendar from work and subscribe to ( Read more... )

Why does Sherlock include a button called "Yellow Pages" when this component actually functions like a white pages? If you type in "diaper," it will find all diaper services in your area with "diaper" in their names, but none that don't. In other words, it searches by business name, not by business category.

Funny, I never figured out as a kid that Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies were inside out mirror images of each other -- rich folks move in with the country hicks, country hicks move to the posh hillsides. And how did I finally figure it out? From reading in the paper today that two new reality shows this season are going to make those ( Read more... )

No weekend. Spent almost every waking hour at landwater doing the Mac conversion. No matter what, you can never plan for all the unforseen details that come up in a job like this. Estimated 12 hours, put in almost 30, plus six more this afternoon. Machines that attach themselves mysteriously to the wrong DHCP server and drop off the network. ( Read more... )
