Testing Disqus Commenting with Plaxo
Thought it might be interesting to see just how the Disqus.com commenting system would work with my blog’s comments as well as interfacing with the Plaxo Pulse stream. If all works well, you should see the Disqus commenting system in place here, and when you go to Plaxo, you “should” be able to comment there and have that comment automatically appear back here so all comments become a part of the same thread. We’ll see!
Another twitter update plugin test
Wondering if, now that the plugin has been configured, if it is going to falsely post to twitter that I have edited a post before I’ve even published the darned thing!
Twitter Updater test post
Now testing the twitter updater plugin.
Disqus Test
Testing to see how the disqus comments look on the site.
Twitter is broken. Thanks @JamesKirk
Twitter, originally uploaded by willnorris.
Has twitter always had the “blog this” option right from their web pages? I thought at one point I had added a GreaseMonkey script that would allow that to happen.
Anyway, this image was captured by our friend Will Norris, just to show his gratitude at my tweet of exactly 140 characters. Unfortunately, most of those characters were not broken by spaces, causing any page that my tweet showed up on to be jacked all to hell!
Taking bets on how long it takes the great folks at Twitter to fix this with an overflow: hidden in [...] Continue Reading…
Posting from Ubuntu 8.04 Linux trial
Thought I’d burn the latest Ubuntu version (8.04) and see how it panned out on the new-ish computer I built a couple of months ago. Like most really “wannabe” tech geeks, I’ve messed with Linux installs over the years, and have just never been able (willing?) to go the full monty and just learn to live in a Linux world.
Initially, a lot of that had to do with Microsoft products. Much, much less so now days. In fact, other than using XP Media Center (though I’ve yet to do any media using with it! Go figure) and the [...] Continue Reading…

Define your nightmare, worst case scenario if you do what you’re thinking of doing
Seems to me that as I’ve set up this post, thinking on it all the way, I’m realizing that the absolute “worst case scenario” for me to continue pursuing the start-up of The Fight Channel is the (now moving into “years”) loss of all that time devoted to trying to make it happen. What if we don’t find funding (all [...] Continue Reading…

How has being “realistic” or “responsible” kept you from the life you want?
Because I’ve tended to be overly loyal to friends and “potential” rewarding situations in life, I believe I’ve created a haven for waiting just a little longer for the life I truly desire to be living. Whether it be continually helping friends in need, or committing long periods of time, energy, and life force to working at a situation that does [...] Continue Reading…
