Wow! I didn’t know I had that…

I’ve spent some time over the past week clearing out dead links and organizing my del.icio.us links before sharing them with their respective sites.
It was quite the undertaking, but I discovered I have things I didn’t remember. My favorite, quite possibly the most shocking, is the fact that i have a homemaking tag! Who’d have […]

Lurking vs. active participation

A group blog that I participate in has recently started considering a policy for removing members who don’t post within a very reasonable period. Not many people have publicly sounded off on the issue, but those that have are arguing for removal.
Interestingly enough, these same few public voices are people who do not contribute on […]

Of web spaces and profiles

I’ve been working for a year now on trying to consolidate myself into a handful of web spaces. Right now, I’m down to two web sites. This one, my personal one, consists of a blog with links to some of my other webspaces. The other, which I consider my professional web site, houses three blogs […]

Perhaps someone can explain this to me…?

I like to help people. It’s a borderline psychosis with me. I feel miserable when I’m not being helpful.
That said, I really had to look at something and wonder… A complete stranger just left a comment on CareerNiche (it is gone now) asking me to contact Blogger because her blog was deleted, she can’t log […]

This online book feud

Sorry for the lack of posting. I’d love to blame it on my NaNovel, but really, I got sick Wednesday, and then got slammed by both jobs. I’m still sick, and we have to get my jewelry business’ web site up and usable by Tuesday.
No pressure.
But first, I’d like to take a look at something […]

Tag! You’re it…and it…and it…

I’ve spent the past week entering every book that I have with me (and a couple that are elsewhere) into LibraryThing. Like so many of the places I enjoy using, they want tags.
For whatever reason, tags just don’t work for me. I can’t seem to make the little light bulb turn on with regards to […]

Integrating tools

Today, I downloaded the new version of Trillian. It was a bit trick initially because the entire program wouldn’t download. Then I finally got it downloaded and installed.
I miss the old style. It was sleek and organic. This just looks like old-school MSN Messenger. But I can forgive that after discovering a very neat feature! […]

A wish for a tech toy

I used to have a Palm Pilot, but it completely died earlier this year. I loved my Palm Pilot. It kept my schedule, my to-do lists (organized by list, including my grocery list), my notes. At various points in time, it even held writings, including last year’s NaNoWriMo project from last year. That was one […]

This Week’s Exploration: Wiki

This one’s going to be shaky. I’ve only spent a little time looking into this one so far.
A number of people have told me recently that they wish they had a dictionary that was specific to me whenever they talk to me. I have many varied interests, and have had multiple interests my […]

Opera! Say it isn’t so!

I really like using Opera, even when it doesn’t want to play nice with web sites I like to frequent. One of the truly fun things about Opera is its demand for adherence to the w3c’s standards. Well, maybe that should be its supposed demand. I was looking at the journal feature […]
