WordPress 2.0

I did a one-click upgrade to WordPress 2.0.  So far, everything looks ok.  I have to fix the header and sidebar, but I might switch to another theme before doing that.  If you notice anything wrong, please leave me a comment.  THANKS!

Naked Conversations - available now in Redwood City, CA

I’ve been pestering the brick and mortar book stores around town, asking for Shel Israel’s and Robert Scoble’s book, Naked Conversations — I’m not a patient man and I don’t want to wait until the 26th for my pre-ordered Amazon copy to arrive. Today, I stopped at the Barnes and Noble in Redwood City, [...]

Redirects, Permalinks, Old Blogs and whatnot

This is just a heads up - All of the permalinks on this blog from December, 2005 are now broken.  I changed the permalink naming scheme to ease the process of redirecting(301, of course) everything from my old blog.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

Alaska Air Flight #536: A Report from Jeremy Herrmans

Jeremy’s report is fascinating.  He and the others on the flight(crew included) must have been terrified.  At least as interesting, to me, as the near-disaster is the battle in the comments on his post between his defenders and those who think he’s either a liar or a wimp.  It’s incredible how rude some people [...]

TODO for my blog

Add recent comments to the sidebar.
About me box with links to Homestead and friends.
Automated post, once a week, that summarizes my recent del.icio.us bookmarks and my Gregarius stickies.

Duplicate Post

Sorry for the duplicate Murderball review.  I’m experimenting with hReview and the first attempt at the proper hReview format was foiled by the RTF editor in WordPress.

Blog layout/info changes…

I added this text to the header:
To subscribe to my blog in an aggregator, use this link. To subscribe to my bookmarks, use this link. The other blogs and feeds I watch are at this url.

I also added my XBox Live Gamercards and my 15 most recent del.icio.us bookmarks to my sidebar.

Showing off WordPress Image Importing.


WordPress Convert?

On a new host, I created a DreamHost account and installed WordPress 2.0rc1.
TODO:

Set up 304 redirects from blog.ronin64.com entries to blog.tokash.org
Move all linked files over.
Move other misc apps over.
Move the domain ronin64.com over.
Start playing with the WP2.0-ready plugins.

Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Random Ideas

Guest Editor Tokens - Blogging tools should allow for the creation of special tokens that bloggers can give to friends, family and peers. Each token would allow others one opportunity to post as a guest editor on the user’s blog.
App for Embedding URLs in Podcasts - I’ve mentioned this one before. Podcasters need [...]

Movable Type Upgrade Fallout

Well, there are a few things that still don’t work. I have to reinstall the tags plugin so I can put items in multiple categories. Also, I’m not sure if trackbacks are being autodiscovered - they used to be, but I don’t remember if that was a special setting or a plugin or [...]

Upgrade

I upgraded to MovableType 3.2. Painless, mostly.

Good luck on your new blog, Patrick Scoble!!

Monster Cable

Scoble visited Monster. WOW! I can only imagine what their demo rooms must look like.
Anyway, if they are interested in blogging about their stuff, they should touch base with StormShadow.
UPDATE: Looks like StormShadow is/was a Monster employee already!
