More Updates!

Posted in geekery, site-news at 10:34 am by GaZ

It seems I’ve been failing to deliver on my promises to pay more attention to this blog and keep it a bit more up-to-date, and all that. It just takes a bit too much of my time and effort to write down a “feature length” blog post these days. I don’t want to abandon this altogether, so I’ve added a couple of plugins to link the blog with my main accounts on Twitter and Del.icio.us.

Twitter is a sort of micro-blogging / social networking tool that allows you to post short updates via the web, various desktop applications (such as twhirl, or SMS. The ease of use and accessibility makes it so much easier to keep your status a little more “current.” My Twitter username is gareth.

Del.icio.us is a bookmarking website, allowing you to store, tag, and share interesting websites with other users. The Firefox add-on makes adding new bookmarks a snap! My del.icio.us username is gareth_western.

Now the plugins I’ve added to this blog will post daily digest messages containing my tweets and bookmarks of the day! Originally I was thinking of doing something similar to hesam and removing the blog, however I’d still like to throw out a proper blog post every now and then. I may even get around to doing my own Wordpress theme one of these days!… or maybe not ;).

UPDATE: Ok, after a bit of thought I think I agree with this guy regarding posting tweet digests to a blog. I don’t really need to archive all that crap, and the fact that a lot of the tweets are only half the conversation is annoying. It’s like an IRC log of just yourself! So now I’ll just have my last 3 tweets in the sidebar, thereby decreasing my “new media douchebag” rating slightly.

OPML Import Bug In Wordpress 2.1?

Posted in geekery at 11:02 am by GaZ

Doh! Looks like it might take me a little longer than I thought to get my blogroll back. I was planning on just exporting an OPML file from Google Reader, however it appears there’s a bug in Wordpress 2.1 which prevents me from importing the file. The bug was only just raised last week so perhaps a patch or quickfix will appear within a few days, otherwise I’ll have to start tinkering with the code myself.
