Me. WordCamp 2008. Video. Eek.

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this August 28th, 2008 8:14 am

John P of One Mans Blog (great tagline: Specialization is for Insects) was a busy camera guy at WordCamp 2008. I just got word (via a flickr comment) that the video of my session on It’s All You Can WordPress at the EduBlog Diner is now on viddler (and not exactly as it was/is billed [...]

Maybe two months from now will mark the 15th year I have been on the web. This will be October 29, exactly at 10:30am, 15 years to the minute when I inserted a floppy disk labeled “Mosaic” (in perhaps a Mac Quadra 900) that my Maricopa colleague Jim [...]

Foxmarks- Like a Bad House Guest Who Won’t Leave

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this August 27th, 2008 9:30 pm

NOTE: Was I ever wrong and offbase on this one. Thanks to rapid responses to the Foxmarks folks on GetSatisfaction site, it looks like the culprit now is the delicious.com extension, which is now disabled and the beachballs / long syncs are gone. Sigh.
My humble apologies to the makers of Foxmarks
Doesn’t Uninstall mean go away? [...]

Flying Pigs, Iron Balloons, and Top Down Tagging

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this August 25th, 2008 11:52 pm

I love tagging and still persist in vain hopes that I can encourage others to do some shared tagging, but feel lucky if I can get a handful of people to use a single tag. I am regularly tagging web sites in delicious with tags destined to be repurposed on at least 10 different web [...]

Your Camera Phone is a Document Scanner with Qipit

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this August 25th, 2008 5:33 pm

Almost be sheer accident I just came across Qipit a service that allows you to take photos of sketches or whiteboards with your camera phone, email it to their site, and then have it available as a PDF or even be able to fax it.
Chances are, you carry a cell phone with you everywhere you [...]

Stories From the Dead Letter Inbox

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this August 25th, 2008 10:11 am

When you send an email (and it does not bounce back) you likely have the assumption it got to the intended person. If they never respond, do you begin conjuring stories? “Why did he ignore my request?” … “I hate companies that don’t reply to consumer”… “I guess she does not [...]

NGTD and ReaderBox Zero

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this August 24th, 2008 11:23 am

I almost started to say something like “I Can’t” but I can’t do that. But I honestly know that organizational stuff (like keeping things neatly in file and making to do lists) are just practices I don’t gravitate to. The inane tweet above was more a mis-placed assumption that the GTD “movement” seems to end [...]

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this August 22nd, 2008 12:59 pm

photo credit: minifig
A post I made to the Apple Discussion forums this morning has been shown the back door, and I guess I have been slapped. They took my post off their site, who gives a rat’s arse when I can publish it here?
I posted something because I have been stumped through other [...]
