Del.icio.us Blog Posting == Broken

Monday, August 4, 2008

Oh, wait, it’s simply “delicious” now.
The suggested fix to reenter one’s username and password. Done. We’ll see whether it works.
A side thought: Del.icio.us has had its “blog posting” feature for years now, and all the while, it’s been labeled “experimental” and unsupported. Say what you will about Google products being in perpetual beta, at least [...]

Way To Go, Wordpress

Sunday, July 20, 2008

Upgrading Wordpress nuked all the category names for this weblog.
But way to go, me: Even reading the posts in each category is not enough to tell what’s what.

“Like a fine pair of jeans…”

“…iPod nano colors may vary and change over time.”
This is according to the fine print on the package of the Doctor’s new iPod nano.
This locution is either brilliantly mocking or plain terrifying.
Let’s assume the former. So cheers to the fellow who conceived the new text!
(”Either”? On second thought, it has to be both.)

Well, this seems to work.

Flock is a Mozilla-based browser designed explicitly for integration with web services.
Welcome to the 0.5.14 release of Flock. If you’ve made it this far, chances are you’re aware of the risks associated with software that’s somewhere between alpha and beta.
Release Notes
But why doesn’t Spellbound inline highlighting work? And shouldn’t Greasemonkey be a part of the [...]

WFMU and Last.fm

Saturday, April 29, 2006

WFMU is the best radio station ever.
Last.fm is the best…um, whatever it is. Web-2.0 database driven music scrobbler?
What I want is a way to listen to WFMU shows that will input the songs into Last.fm.
It’s already been done for Pandora, which isn’t even that great of a service in my experience. Nothing beats an excellent [...]

Youth in Asia

Friday, February 10, 2006

My iPod has been limping along these past few weeks. It lasts for 45 minutes, an hour, and then suddenly it dies, usually right when I’m at the beginning of some tedious Metro trip or better yet, standing the station staring at the sign that says it’ll be 15 minutes before an empty train roars [...]

Etymotics

Saturday, December 17, 2005

So my Etymotic ER-6is crapped out a couple months ago. I threw them in a drawer and forgot about it until just a week or so ago. Realizing that the anniversary of my purchasing them was coming up (and had probably passed), I took them out the drawer and posted them back to Etymotics. And [...]

…there was some way to get recent songs to stick around a bit longer in Audioscrobbler’s RSS files.
There’s got to be some way to make this work, right?

Installing MT3.2 took a bit longer than I expected..about an hour, all told.
Still, not bad. When exams come around, I’m usually trying to install Linux on anything that moves. This is at least a bit less time consuming and frustrating.
MT wanted me to install something called Crypt::DSA, which is a perl module, which means [...]
