Thanks to more help from Jasra, we dug up a Moveable Type template and installed it into Planet Geek‘s configuration. I just updated to the new template after testing it out a little using Bloglines,and it appears to be presenting stuff correctly – there should be Comments links and the ‘Read more…” function should be working. I’ll throw a cut here to make sure.

A neat idea – NNTP meets RSS
So in playing around with RSS aggregators, I came across a tool that presents RSS feed information in the form of an NNTP connection. The package is called, unimaginatively NNTP//RSS.
Hamlet meets Scott Adams
Okay, this is pretty cool. If you’re into the old Scott Adams adventures, and know your Shakespeare, check this out. It takes a few moments to load…
Shakespearian Adventure
When desktops go bad!
Ah, the joys of being your own sysadmin. I guess.
For the last 2 years, I’ve been doing probably 90% of my desktop work on Windows based systems. Unfortunately Intuit, my former employer, is a very strong Windows shop, and even though they were mostly okay with me running Linux on my desktop machine, the added time / effort necessary to make it all work together just wasn’t there.
Now that I’m on my own, I can switch back to my natural environment, a Linux desktop.
Livejournal HO!!!!
So special thanks to Jasra for helping out with the syndicated feed, folks at Livejournal can now see my postings coming from Planet Geek!.
For LJ folks, just add the user ‘shayde_weblog’ to your friends list, and voila!
IS IT THE APOCALYPSE?!
Slashdot, truly the geek mecca-point, has been down for the last 15 minutes or so. This is an UNHEARD of occasion. Truly epic.
Okay, I give up.
I can’t get the LJ Crosspost plugin to work in Moveable Type, so I’m flat out giving up on it right now. Chip really isnt’ answering mail, and I don’t have time to dig into his code and find out what’s working and what isn’t.
Maybe when I have Time [tm] [reg us pat off] I’ll get a handle on how plugins in MT work, and be able to debug his code, but for now I’ll probably just manually crosspost things in as I see fit.
Aaaanyway, back to our regularly scheduled yammering.
One more time, with feeling!
So, if all goes well, and I have all the stuff installed right, this entry will show up on LIveJournal as well as on my blog. So, lets give it a shot…
something about coding….
… i love codng. I love coding listening to music. I love coding listening to music VERY LOUD. And today it’s Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon. Yeah, it’s very high school, but fuckit, I love it.
