Category Archives: bloggingFor those of you lucky enough to be on Jaiku, you may have noticed that things haven’t been as responsive as they once were. Thankfully, the Thugs In Charge finally noticed and have scheduled a 24 hour maintenance break starting at 12:01am PST on Wednesday.
In typical Jaiku fashion, there is a thread going on–in Jaiku–about […]
This is the first time in a long time this list has been so short. I have not been in the blogging groove as of late, and when I’ve been in that groove, it’s been really late at night. I’ve had far too many nights where I’ve ended up in bed at nearly 3am. […]
If you haven’t figured out by now, I like writing. However, if you asked me when I started blogging if I thought I could write 20-30 posts a week, while still having a full-time job, I’d think you were smoking something. Clearly I’ve figured out how to do it. Some days, it’s easier than […]
I have been using Twitter a bit more than I was before thanks to this nifty little J2ME app for Nokia phones called Twibble. It runs in the background and pulls the latest tweets from my friends over whatever connection I happen to have. I can page through them at my leisure, respond to them–it […]
Pat Phelan over at Cubic Telecom wrote a post about how much Twitter is costing businesses. As someone rightly pointed out in the comments, what’s the cost of any given thing to business anyway?
I think the bigger, more important question is why are we wasting our time–whatever it costs–using a service that clearly doesn’t have […]
I had went into my Wordpress Admin today to write posts as usual, but it was slower than molasses in winter. After some troubleshooting–was thankful 1&1 had strace installed on the box and my web pages are served by a process I could attach it to–I tracked it down to something (C)Feed was doing–a plugin […]
An email from Andy Abramson informed me about another one of our brethren struck with heart trouble: Om Malik. From Om’s post today:
I had a heart attack on Dec. 28. I was able to walk into the hospital for treatment that night and have been recovering here ever since. With the support of my family […]
I had no idea the kid in these commercials, Donavan Freberg, was the son of Stan Freberg, nor that Stan Freberg himself came up with and was the voice on these great commercials. Unfortunately, the twits at Gizmodo won’t allow this video to be embedded, so you’ll have to go to Gizmodo and see it […]
This meme seems to go around every so often. This time I was tagged by The Gabby Geek. You can read my last attempt at this. Here’s another 8 things you may not know about me.
1. In my professional life, I have spent more time working from my home than I’ve spent working in an […]
I have to share this bit from Luca’s Funny Predictions For 2008:
Phoneboy will blog and blog and blog and blog: the last week of December 2008, Phoneboy’s Week post will contain 97 articles
I can’t decide whether to make that a personal challenge or check myself into a 12-step program today?
I sat down over the course of the past week or so to try and articulate what I’m thinking I’d like to do about my blogging in 2008. It seems to have taken on a life of it’s own this year thanks to becoming a blogger for Creative Weblogging and getting a bit more involved […]
Earlier on I had posted an entry about looking for a new blogger for The Wired Home Weblog. I have since deleted that blog post because it turns out they don’t actually need one–Ruth has one in the queue ready to go for January. Meanwhile, I will probably throw up a couple of posts there […]
While I am highly suspicious of one of the entries on this list, and I generally find these lists quite subjective in nature, I am quite happy that The VoIP Weblog, one of the blogs I write for Creative Weblogging, is featured on VoIP News’ Top 25 VoIP Blogs for 2007.
Seems like I’ve spent a lot of time writing blog posts this week. However, most of the posts I wrote this week are actually for this coming week on VoIP Weblog where I take on the year in VoIP over the course of several posts. These posts are more time-consuming to put together than I […]
A while ago, I had decided I had enough of Twitter. I had pretty much stopped using it, but did not go so far as to delete my account. I kept it around “just in case” and jumped full-bore into Jaiku.
But then, something happened. Twitter evolved, and I have too. I also noticed that several […]
