Just updated the back end to this blog… including theses and plugins. So far all is working. The computer prophets must be smiling upon me.
I decide to do an experiment… allow MS to “upgrade” the Vista computer to Windows 7. Normal advise would suggest it better to reformat… but I thought I would try anyway. It took the computer about 12 hours to update itself… but at the end… success!
Let’s hope that it works for the long term!
… trying to remove malware from a computer. I know better. It is always easier to reformat and reload.
Test #1 of Twitterfeed… trying to use my blog to populate twitter and facebook
For right now, I am changing the presentation model. Before, my “Web 2.0″ experiment was using Facebook as a central point for integration of other tools. No longer will this be the case. My web site and this blog is the central point. Facebook posts will now be updated from resources under my control. Sorry Facebook.
Now using twitter feed to populate Facebook and Twitter from “http://minorchord.com/blog/”. If this works…it is really cool!
The new facebook app is now on both the iTouch and blackberry… Why does the BB take SOOOOO long to reboot? Come on RIM… you can do better!
My goal to integrate all my gadgets(blackberry, iTouch, Computers) with Linkedin, Facebook, and Google is almost complete. Starting to add MS-Mesh and MS-Skydrive.
Happy New Year!
Well, today was brought in with little (if any) fanfare. Just a quiet morning and expectations to watch the Winter Classic. Everything went pretty much as planned.
Now that Minorchord has an official CMS web page, blog, and forum… it now needs a purpose or two. There are a couple idea floating around, but for the near term it will suffice as a personal site as a development platform explore a few inter-linked technology trials.
I really wish I could link this blog to FB. As what is FB really… but an interlinked blog for those who can not set up their own. Oh yea, and a way to get advertising dollars.
The last two weeks of the year have been wonderful from a technology perspective. Simply put, everything is working… and working together! From the perspective of hardware and software… PS3, NAS, Windows Backup Server,Linux Firewall/UTM, multiple mobile phones, networked printes, scanner, iTouch devices, monitors, itunes server, upnp server, ftp server, web servers (external and internal), MySQL database servers (internal and external), LDAP server, external web pipe (including DNS resolver), CMS , Blog, Forums, FB, Twitter, Linkedin, etc. I think that I can safely say that I have enough things linked together to actually run a small company!
On top of that I have also been able to do some more improvements on my 360-degree hockey evaluation tools and further organization of all the hockey coaching collateral!
Next steps… figure out how to elegantly create a web application to link database servers to a web interface. Until then, I’ll just stick with this other easy stuff.
