Life Observation
When you have a Tuesday that is nestled between a long holiday weekend and a business trip for the rest of the week, it is a weird and jangly feeling day.
Magic
We’ve had wifi of one form or another for over four years, and it never fails to strike me as magic when it actually works. Usually it is just the form of connecting from the living room couch, sometimes from the screened in back porch or times, like now, where I sit on the front [...]
Clambake Episode for May 30, 2005
Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for May 30, 2005.
Two in two days, unusual frequency for me lately! I talk about money; I play a song by Bullet Called Life; I hail a fallen comrade; I play a song from Camper Van Beethoven; I talk about the good [...]
Puppy Tags
One thing that really bugs me about Ecto: they do a cute thing when you create a new tag and give the default name as “puppy.” Apparently though, if you edit the name but don’t navigate off of it to force a save of it, you publish your post with the default name and not [...]
Tags: ectoAnother Beach Trip
For the second time in three days, we took a spontaneous trip to the beach. I’m downright liking this! The dog seems to be taking well to the beach and ocean, which she’d never seen to before this weekend. After 4 PM you can take your dog to the beach at Myrtle Beach State Park, [...]

Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for May 29, 2005.
In the post #100 celebration, I more or less have started over - new blogging setup, new blogging tool, new method for recording the pocast. I talk a little about my new setup; I play a brand new song [...]
Podcasting: Mechanist View vs Humanist View
I’m going to take another run at this, even though I’ve long since tired of the topic because I keep feeling like I’m tantalizingly close to expressing something so that someone else might actually understand where I’m coming from. Rob Greenlee responded to my post about his interview with Don Katz, to which I re-responded. [...]

I recorded my experimental zero-edit, zero-post-production show this morning. It’s very short by my standards, less than 10 minutes. Since I’m using the unregistered version of Audio Hijack Pro, at 10 minutes some godawful static is overlaid - you can hear it in the last seconds of this episode.
It worked pretty well overall. It will [...]
Simpler Podcasting Setup
I ran across a reference to this post in the Rogue Amoeba blog that describes how to use Audio Hijack Pro to podcast in a number of scenarios. It sure does seem a lot simpler than what I’m doing. I downloaded the trial version and will check it out.
It seems like I could use [...]
Connections
This week I saw a college friend that I haven’t seen in a few years. That’s one of the big wins of living near a tourist destination in that people you know just sort of show up periodically in your area. I like that. I’m bad about keeping up with my friends (current state of [...]

Beach Jaunt
As you saw from the previous post, we jaunted to the beach on the spur of the moment. We were a little worried about the traffic from the second bike week and/or Memorial Day revelers but it wasn’t too bad. From where we live, we can make it to Myrtle Beach State Park without ever [...]

On the spur of the moment last night, we packed up and went to the beach for an hour in the evening. It was really beautiful and fun - this is what we hoped life here would be like.
We’ll [...]
Big Wordpress Omission
It seems from my early work that there is one huge omission in the out-of-the-box Wordpress install. It doesn’t do the Last-Modified header, on either the web pages or the RSS. I’m of the opinion that everything that emits or reads an RSS feed MUST use or honor this header. When you have a few [...]

I’ve been using this for a while, so long in fact that to be honest I forget what all features are new since 2.2.9. I can say that iPodderX 3 is a huge step up and it is now released into the wild. I’ve been sworn to secrecy on the feature set, but it is [...]

Yesterday I listened to Rob Greenlee’s interview with Don Katz of Audible.com. I remain kind of befuddled by Rob’s approach to the podcasting world. He cannot talk about the subject without trying to point out that aspects of it existed previously, to the point that it has become a tic. It’s like he’s on a [...]

OK folks, here’s the first thing I do need help with. I’m not sure if it is a Wordpress issue or an Ecto issue, but when I publish these posts, they are categorized as the category I select as well as Uncategorized each time, even when I pick only the one category plus set it [...]

Here’s my idea for another one of those “reality-based” TV shows: No Survivors! One by one, a psychopathic serial killer tracks down and kills all of the Survivor survivors. Think of it as a public service.

Temptation
It’s been tough to do the import of the blog to Wordpress early this morning and then lay off it all day since I, like, have to work and stuff. Maybe this evening I’ll spend a few minutes browsing plugins and such. Expect a lot of turbidity in themes and stuff in the sidebars over [...]
