That’s my photo, but that’s not my name or occupation. My mug has been hijacked by someone pretending to be someone who does not exist. Like many of you, I had no idea this kind of thing went on. It’s called Catfishing. Welcome to the dark underbelly of openness. I’ve read with the greatest respect […]

Monday and Tuesday of this week was spent at the Shar-E-Fest conference at Wintec in Hamilton. I know I did a workshop here almost 10 years ago, November of 2004. Maybe it was the same topic as this time. This is a relatively small, grass roots conference with attendees from mostly post-secondary institutions in New Zealand. You can take your vendorhallpalooza of a conference of thousands of attendees stumbling around in a chicken induced haze; I like one where it seems like everyone knows each other, and you see a lot of hugs going on.
I had 4 speaking slots on the agenda (hah, I had prepared for 3), and those will be mostly just linked. I also want to jot down notes from things I got from other sessions and connections.

creative commons licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by xJason.Rogersx Does anyone set out to go down such a hole? It all started because Matt Rafalow contacted me- he was hoping to use medium.com to publish his work for Connected Courses. Simple, I thought. I knew medium publishes RSS feeds for user accounts. RSS […]

Not that’s what I aim for. But I […]
Cagey cat. Lazy cat, cannot even generate output to provide valid RSS feed. @medium your rss feeds are @ mess Technology like RSS dies not because of failure, but neglect. You get what you ignore.
This is not just a presentation prop for my presentation nostalgia trips to the past, pleasantly seated at my hosts breakfast table in Auckland, I am drinking coffee in your future. I tracked on the flight over not just the crossing over the International Date Line, but the way it jags, we actually went over, […]
I often don’t know what I don’t know. Ben Harwood posed a question this morning @cogdog Looking for a way to export FWP list to another site. Not that I'm lazy, well.. but maybe there's a post that isn't on WP org site? — Ben (@BenjaminHarwood) September 24, 2014 Basically to export the sites you […]
creative commons licensed ( BY-SA ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I won’t get to see Milford Sound again on this next trip, but I will get a whirlwind swirl around the North Island of New Zealand. The journey into the future has me leaving home at 10am, driving to Phoenix, flying to San Francisco […]
Flash! Poof! I thought I just discovered a hidden search gem in my OS X Mavericks system. One of the coolest things in Evernote is uploaded photos with text in the picture, becomes searchable for those words (it does some magic OCR on your images). Now that is magic. This morning I was seeking an […]
