Cocommenting On The Rise Or?

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 5th, 2006 3:16 pm

Cocomment is an interesting web technology that does some neat things but perhaps is not so wide it used to reach a next level of progress. It acts as a service of sorts, to tackle the age old (or 3 year old) problem of not knowing what happens to the “conversations” you leave as comments [...]

Warnock’s Dilemma and Variants

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 5th, 2006 2:35 pm

By sheer acts of curious link following, I ended up today learning about Warnock’s Dilemma via Classy’s Kitchen:
Warnock’s Dilemma is the situation you face when people don’t comment on your postings:
The problem with no response is that there are five possible interpretations:
1. The post is correct, well-written information that needs no follow-up commentary. There’s nothing [...]

My Technorati Feed Smokes Crack

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 5th, 2006 12:12 am

Well, not exactly true. I made it up for the purposes of sensationalism.
I have a fair idea what Technorati does at a conceptual level, and used it in the past for things like conferences where bloggers may actually use the same tag. Their data lets us know the blogosphere is expanding at a rate [...]

WordPress Theme Philosophy

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 4th, 2006 11:33 pm

I thought it was longer, but it was only a bit over a year ago I switched from my MovableTyle CogDogBlog over to its incarnation in WordPress. Having rolled out perhaps 5 or 6 other WP blogs I was thinking of blogging out my strategy for dealing with some of the coolest aspects of Wp, [...]

Window Vignettesavailable on my flickr

There is some sort of story told in these window reflections, I am just not sure what they are.

I’m in San Francisco for 2 days of NMC meetings… if time allows, I am eager to get out on the streets with my camera.
My memories roll back to my first [...]

Not Sure If I Would Order This Online

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 3rd, 2006 11:05 pm

While checking out some office supply items, the first bulleted one made me take a second look:

Yeah, you could pay for the change but what actually arrives in the brown package left on your doorstep?

Rocking Podcasting GarageBanding

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 3rd, 2006 10:05 am

I am just scraping the surface with a first experience creating an enhanced podcast in GarageBand, but software designers take note– this is the way podcast editing should happen. Drag and drop your mp3 music into a sound track. drop or record your voide in a voice track, drop image files into the podcast track [...]

First (not Last) BSOD

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 3rd, 2006 9:48 am

It was bound to happen, the first Blue Screen Of Death on the Bootcamped XP side of my MacBookPro (wow, I might order the T-shirt).
I was trying to install Skype– well it did install, but running it brought me BSOD. The first time, on reboot, XP did its repair job; the second time it did [...]

The Elusive Right Mouse Click

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 2nd, 2006 3:40 pm

I’m doing occasional forays into Windows XP on my MacBookPro. A glaring omission, perhaps on my part, is figuring out how the heck to do those right mouse clicks needed to configure stuff. The control-click that works on the OS X side does not. I thought I might have to buy a 2 button mouse.

iRiver? Fuggedaboudit! iAudio We Go

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 1st, 2006 10:55 am

The Ritz Camera folks had no ability to let me now which month, year, or century the iRiver I ordered might arrive, so at least they were nice enough to cancel the order (I was a bit over barking as they would not charge my credit card until the item shipped).
I opted for Miguel’s advice [...]
