Problems with Technorati

It appears that, even though I ping Technorati with every update to my blog, it’s missing the last 60 days worth of posts.  Oh Brother.  And, do you know how I noticed?  That’s right, brrreeeport.

Feed Reset

FYI, I just caused a feed reset.  If you are seeing a lot of unread items from my blog in your aggregator, it’s my fault.  Sorry, won’t happen again!

New theme – Phoenixtheme

My blog has a new theme!  I hope you like it!  The Phoenixtheme look was created by David Peralty.

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, CA and found out they had several copies waiting to be displayed. Snagged one.

If you are also looking for a copy tonight or tomorrow, head over there.

I’m looking forward to really digging in. One really nice ‘feature’ of this book is the online appendix – a clickable list of sites that were mentioned in the book, organized by chapter. Does anyone have an xml reading list for it?

[FYI, I started reading it as a digital e-book(pdf drm) on my Palm TX. It was slow going because the official Adobe Reader for Palm takes a few seconds to go back a page and it won’t do wide-screen mode – 2 issues that really hamper comfortable reading. There is a freeware PalmOS PDF reader-PalmPDF- which is vastly superior to the official app, but it can’t open DRM files.]
