Let's see if this is set up correctly...
Well, seem to have broken the MT template system. Need to have some time to sit down and fix tihngs or at least burn it all down and start over. For the time being, please enjoy a design-free site.
Hmmm...had to change some settings due to a migration by my web host. Hope things are working OK...
Need to clean out all of the MediaManager cruft. That plugin sadly seems broken. Time to figure out a replacement, as I miss having a "Now Reading" section. Perhaps I'll use Multiblog and set up a book blog and run that info in a widget.
Finally finished a one-page vanity site: jimlosby.com. You can only do so much to get the Twitter and Flickr badge xhtml to validate before you waste your time.
There's a little behind-the-scenes integration with Movable Type to get the current entries from ivory-tower.org and redblogchetta.com to show up, courtesy of the MultiBlog plugin.
Enjoy!
Hmmm...so I posted on Twitter about buying shoes from Zappos and having them arrive the next day and the coolness of that and the next day the CEO of Zappos starts following me.
Nice!
Great. Toasted my main MT template accidentally yesterday while putting together another weblog's template. Always work on a backup, kids.
Time to revert to an older home page and work up something new.
The Currently Reading bit of the right sidebar should really be called Currently Broken. I was running into problems with an older version of the Media Manager plugin for Movable Type, which pretty much appeared out of nowhere. I upgraded to the latest version, which displays it data in an entirely different was (so not obvious based on the notes I'd read). I need to redo that sidebar to get things to appear correctly. I'm currently reading Fish on Friday: Feasting, Fasting, And Discovery of the New World, which has been a pretty decent read on the rise of fishing and preservation technology in the Dark Ages to the discovery of North America.
Things to do, small and large.
More cycling. Set some goals: Another metric century, MS150, a regular century perhaps.
More running. Same as cycling: Half marathon again? Consider getting that new Garmin 305 for cycling and running.
Use the camera you have. Found myself windowshopping a lot of sub-$300 ultrazoom cameras last month.
Take a look at what you need to rip to the iPod and what you should remove. Organize the CD collection.
More podcasting. It has been too long. Maybe once a month?
Add categories to MT for the site. Working on that now.
Read more books. Same as usual.
Drink some of that single malt that's been sitting around.
Subvert the dominant paradigm.
Ah, let's see...what did I post here in 2007? Probably not a lot, sadly. Must try to do more in 2008.
January: iPhone rumor stuff, MT upgrading (still waiting for MT 4.1), and something about my new cell phone.
February: Man, nothing but a little bit on Levi Leipheimer (who will go on to the podium at the 2007 Tour de France).
March: Launched redblogchetta.com, my little Rush-related weblog (sporadically updated, of course), moved it to its own domain, and was happy to hear that Futurama movies were coming by the end of the year. Got Bender's Big Score for xmas, but haven't had a chance to watch it.
April: Just something about the Rush presale for tix for the Snakes & Arrows tour.
May: Nothing for May. I am lame.
June: One post: cheap circumnavigation. Ended up buying a copy of Rough Guide's First Time Around the World book, which was a fun read, although not super-useful.
July: Two posts, one about moving to the burbs.
August: Nothing. Lame, again.
September: Noticed the anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit. Oh, and some blather about the iPod Touch, which I still haven't bought for pretty much the same reasons.
October: Two bits about cycling: one about the 2008 Tour De France route and one about Levi Leipheimer joining the new Astana.
November: Nada, again.
December: Wow, actually a little productive in December. Posted some photos on Flickr and a little Hobbit movie news.
Plans for 2008? Post more, obviously. we'll see how that goes.
