Anyone want to chip in and buy a Private Island with me? Maybe if we all contributed we could do it. It could be the *real* Blogomania! Matter of fact, I visited Ile de Batz years ago – just across from Roscoff in France, and Ile Jacobin is only 3km away, with a castle on the island even! I am so there! [via Barbara Fletcher]
I had “skinned” my site while still using Greymatter. Then the time came when GM couldn’t handle my 500+ entries, and I moved over to MT. I could never quite figure out how to use some of the features that MT offers though along with the skins. Until minutes ago. All of the sudden – POP! Some of the techniques that Jennifer used when she helped to set up the Pixelog would work perfectly. Kristine had sent an e-mail explaining a similar process to me, but I just couldn’t get it. I couldn’t work through the steps and figure it out. Until now.
So to test it out, I opened up MT, made a new index template, named it mtcalendar.php and stuck in the code for the MT Calendar. Then I went into my Skin #1 (in case you are viewing this in a different skin and wondering what I am talking about) and added the PHP Include to retrieve mtcalendar.php – and there it is. Damn. 6 months that I have wanted to do that and just now I finally got it! The lightbulb is on!
I will be heading over to Austin in just over a week for SXSW. I’ve been wondering how I was going to get online as I can’t go that many days without posting here, accessing work, or any other number of things. Seems that if I bring the wireless card, there are several Nodes Around Austin. Worth checking out. I have to ask to make sure – from all that TechTV I have been watching, it’s my understanding that my 802.11b 3Com card can be used in the same manner that an iMac would use an Airport. Is that correct? I mean, I distinctly remember them saying “It’s the wireless standard so they are interchangeable.” Right? [via SXSWBaby!]
Who else is heading to Austin for SXSW? Speak up!
More mentions of Blogomania! by Q Daily News and dangerousmeta! It is late & I am tired, but I have to say it – it has been a good day.
A huge thank you to Jennifer for her latest coding endeavors for Blogomania. She never ceases to amaze me. Much going on behind the scenes in PHP, and I owe it all to her.
To add to my bubbly day, I discover the TechTV | Chris Pirillo’s Favorite Blogs page on the Call for Help section of the TechTV site. Just one side note – it says at the top of the list “blogs are updated often and may contain profanity”. Well, hmmmm. I update often, sometimes very often. Sometimes super often, but I didn’t bribe Davezilla enough to win the “Most Updated Blog” Anti-bloggie. But, it very rarely contains profanity. It may however contain some rants here & there – does that count?
If you don’t have TechTV call someone and get it. I don’t care if you have to move. It is that good. Now. TechTV. And be sure to watch Call for Help!
