Two weeks ago I had a hiccup with DNS (old zone got deactivated before the new one was live) and a few caches led to resolution problems. Amazingly enough, Feedburner has problems with stuck DNS caches, so this resulted in more than a day of outage for my syndication feed.
Interestingly, the traffic has still […]

This blog is now Safely Ignored
January 29, 2007 – 9:19 pm
About a decade after putting up my personal website, I’ve finally come up with a name for it.
Wither “Safely Ignored”? Jason and I had just finished trying to introduce some clients to the 21st century and the whole Bubble 2.0 universe. This included the usual cluetrain rambling about conversing with your customers rather […]
Aggregating myself
January 21, 2007 – 11:19 am
Apologies to readers subscribed via RSS or email (all 33 of you) for any spam recently with posts entitled “Daily Bookmarks”. I accidently live-tested a new feature I’ve hacked together, where a nightly process will automatically post the bookmarks I’ve saved during the day as a blog post.
I hope to offer a feed that […]
Fearless

In July of 1995, I finally got around to registering some domain names for myself. I didn’t even have my own servers, but I saw a sort of land grab taking shape and wanted to homestead.

I ignored this self-annointed viral post the first two times I saw it, but I finally gave in to reading it, and am have to give props for the Daniel Dennett citation.
Schmush!
November 3, 2006 – 9:17 am
Thanks to an entry on RSS replacing email marketing, I presently rank number one for Google searches on the quasi-yiddish almost-word “schmush”. Once I figure out how to monetize my newfound power, I can retire.
(Interestingly, my personalized search results place a different page of my site about 40th. Google doesn’t seem to think […]
WordPress it is
April 9, 2006 – 7:52 pm
After some prodding from Ryan and a noteworthy adoption by Zeldman, I recently checked out the latest version of WordPress. Since my last survey, it has grown into a quite capable site management platform. Every one of my use cases is addressable through existing plugins, and there is a vibrant ecosystem centered on […]
First post!
March 14, 2003 – 12:00 am
With this, I join the “blogging” phenomenon that is all the craze with the kids these days. Over time, I intend to fill in the past with entries from my long-running log for the sake of consistency. I’ll also be discussing (both “then” and in the future) my motivations for this monologue and […]
