Gnomedex

Looks like Geek is going to get to Gnomedex after all, mostly thanks to the incredibly generous Max Raven. That’s cool. I’ll see ya’ there!

As far as my own Gnomedex trip, I’m still waiting on word as to whether this is going to be a business trip or a personal trip. It makes a big difference both in the fact that the 22-23 will be working days, not vacation days, and work will be reimbursing me for the costs of the conference, the hotel in Des Moines and meals during the days I’m in Des Moines. I can pay for it myself, without them, but doing so means the rest of the vacation that I have planned after Gnomedex will have to be done on the cheap, if at all. Getting the money reimbursed means having some extra money to do something fun in Sept. for our first wedding anniversary and being able to visit the people I want to visit this summer, so keep your fingers crossed, I’m supposed to hear the final decision soon.

    We’ve talked about this before, and now that I’ve had a day or two to mess around with MT on the new domain, I’m even more convinced of this truth. Blogger and MT are simply different things for different people. Yes MT is probably more powerful as far as being able to tweak and add…

  • Calling it quits

    Looks like Brad is leaving the blogging world behind. I can’t say that I’m all that surprised. When I met him here in Columbus a few weeks back I could feel the time constraints of being a husband and father, working and going to school weighing on him. Maybe not blogging will free up some…

  • My contribution to the RSS bandwidth question

    As discussed in the comments, using Bloglines might be considered a better way to limit the bandwidth I use in checking on feeds, since it checks once an hour and shares the feed with all of the subscribers to that feed. So I decided to give it a try. It’s better than I thought it…
