Month: July 2004

While the bloggers are off conventeneering I’ve got my head deep in geekery. Example: This guide to getting public key authentication working between different ssh implementations was the highlight of my evening. Saved me at least an hour if not two. Tonight I am a lean, mean code-merging machine.

David Weinberger: “A sign of the anomalous position of blogging: We are now being pandered to.”

Lisa Williams’ pictures from last week’s Boston bloggers meetup.

Joking around with my wife yesterday, we came up with a new phrase: mean time to mommy. It’s a measure of the interval that passes between successive exclamations of “Mommy!” by a three year-old 🙂

Movable Type 3 plugin contest winners. Congratulations, especially to first finisher Jay Allen. I use MT-Blacklist v1.0 every day. It rocks.

NPR.org: “NPR news and information is available through RSS feeds.” Awesome.

Dowbrigade’s first impressions of blogging the democratic national convention.

Music for a rainy day: Side of the Road, by Ellis Paul and Vance Gilbert.

I was looking around for a decent calendar of the week’s convention events in Boston (still haven’t found a good one), and came across an answer to the question, what is a political convention?

Two new convention blog aggregators: politics.feedster.com and ConventionBloggers. The former has a nice search function. The latter sports an attractive theme design and a familiar interface.
