Gecko Bloggle

So, I’m using the new and improved w.bloggar application. Uh, other than looking more like WinXP (hey, skins on yet ANOTHER app, I don’t need), there doesn’t seem to be anything new that wbloggar can do. Oh well, I’m not one to complain. My question is this – is there some way I can set up bloggar so it posts directly into my FTP here at the server, or does it still need to post through to blogger.com, which will then send that through to my FTP server? Hmm…

Oh yeah, and I wanna set this up so the VF can use an app like this to post messages directly into phpNuke or something.

and this other article led me here

and THAT led me to here,

at which point all the hair on my arms stood up.

Cool, now I get how graphic uploads to the blog working directory. No more offsite linking for Me. Especially after what happened that one Friday when I lifted a graphic from SomethingAwful. Never do that again. :)

Bobby Burgess has some of the coolest digital pics I’ve seen in a long time. Nice stuff.

quippy! Here’s a live Internet Traffic Report (found this while trying to listen to the WFUV stream of Doughty’s show… Sigh.

Just trying to remember where everything goes after a week of working by myself, and then a three day weekend. Went to the Vancouver Aquarium with Sam & Deb, which was cool (even if they don’t have orcas any more, there’s still gigantic sea lions).

PHProjekt.com has this nifty plugin that claims to syncronize with Outlook (but only XP, or so it says).

Looking for s2k 090102, and I’ve found that filemirrors suddenly doesn’t seem to have the updates nearly as quickly as it used to. Maybe they’re blocking, or maybe there’s something else that finds those sorts of files faster…

Still diggin’ the new Coldplay album, but like the first one, it’s taking me a little time to get used to it.

I’ve got a new little Samurai Jack toy from Subway sitting on my monitor. He’s in a zenkutsu stance (left leg forward), and it looks like he’s got some sorta “bulge,” but I assure you, it’s his knee.

Did something goofy to my neck somehow. Can’t turn my head more than about 2/3rds in either direction to the side. Thinking about going to get some lunch. Thinking about having some sorta profound thought today, but it’s filled with conversations about whether or not we build a renderfarm first or the new Exchange 2000 server.

AcidPro 4.0 is out, and it can do some new things. I’m not sure whether I’d actually use any of the new features. Back to my previous thoughts about tool collection vs. tool use.

Yeah, my blood sugar level is down, and I’m feelin’ crappy. I’d better go get something to eat pretty soon.

On the lighter side, I’m looking forward to going to see the Frequency Zero screening tonight. Should be fun.

Two new & cool things today. Okay, so maybe more like five.

Sonic Foundry’s Acid 4.0 Pro bld 215 does some pretty neat stuff, from what I’ve seen, but will it still keep me from going over to Propellerheads’ Reason? I’m thinking that since I’m still not a Midi user (even though my DX27 is still sitting under my desk), I might continue to hold off. Hard to say, really.

Creo’s Six Degrees – Looks like a Mac team tried to make Outlook 2000 more friendly. I can understand why you’d want to do that, but there’s a number of apps that can give you most of the same functionality, without having to park this monster on top of Outlook. Of course, what do I know? I’m still using NEO for my email client.

NetJuke looks pretty squippy, if they ever make a Windows-based server. Freeware MP3 hosting & streaming. Could be interesting. Could also be very very ugly. :)

We’re trying to get the new Exchange 2000 server up and running, but of course, there’s all sorts of things we need to worry about so we don’t do anything irreversible in the process.

I’m going to be revamping the tape backup system today so we can (we hope) manage to get something together that doesn’t require six days between backups. Should be interesting (hah!).

Ruby – Short-Staffed at the Gene Pool is pretty squippy. I *think* this is the same Ruby that did the “Now I smell of Paraffin” track from the mid 90s. Ogre of Skinny Puppy is doing some work with this set, so there’s some weirdness that’s kinda yummy.

Lina‘s “I’m Not The Enemy” was on a soundtrack I heard recently, and it gave me chills. Yum.

Okay, get to work already.

Oh BOY did I ever just screw up my computer. Seems stable, but I just installed Aston, which is a beautiful desktop screwer-upper. Very pretty. Probably turns my 550Mhz machine into a 450Mhz when it’s running in “full mode” Still, kinda groovy.

Going to go see Scratch this Sunday at Tinseltown.
Rebuilding my work machine, which is always fun.
Supposed to be getting together with DJ Clarence some time this weekend (gotta clean up the audio I pulled from the Spike Jones album).
