Executable Instrumentation and Management

I always like to read about software like this.  It is truly
amazing what we are able to do with the growing levels of computing
power.  Instrumentation like this allows you to create higher
abstractions and models of what is going on … allowing for new levels
of improvement.

CellPost: Got it!!

I was able to slowly debug my way through the
Radio Userland code and find the problem! For some reason the parsing
of my message was expecting a slightly different format.

This is my first real post to see if this works. I’m on my way to being able to post to my blog from my cell phone … Cool!

Moblogging with Radio

I am slowly making progress in getting Radio to drop these content-type
headers so that I can do more ‘moblogging’ with Radio Userland. 
I’m going to see if I can complete writing this change, and then see if
I can get Radio to accept the attached .jpg pictures and add them to my
posts …

We’ll see how this progresses …

Blogging from my cellphone

Well … I tried it for the first time.  And it worked … sort of.

I enabled the Mail-toWeblog feature in Radio, and wanted to see if I
could begin to blog from my new Nokia cell phone.  It worked …
and you can see with the post before this one …  that there are
still some things to be worked out.  Obviously, Radio didn’t deal
with the mime headers too well.  (Or the ‘content type’ headers
…)

Anyhow … it’s a start!

CellPost: this is a test of posting to my blog from my new cellphone. I have never used the Mail-to-Weblog feature in Radio, but now that I have a keyboard on my new Nokia I thought that I would give it a try!

If this works, then I’ll be posting from a lot of new places. Next I’ll have to see what happens when I attach a picture!

Here goes …

Podgregators, and podgregation

I realized that for hours yesterday I started to look heavily into
various ways to receive “podcasts”. I have links from Phil
Windley
, Scoble, and others … and have started the process of
checking out the software they are using. As of this morning, I
realized that I am looking for a good “podgregator” … and aggregator for podcasts … software for effection “podgregation”.

You heard it here first! 😉

Moving into Torrents

I’ve been following the BitTorrent
craze for a while now, and have to admit that I like the
technology.  However as most of us in business know it’s not all
about technology, it’s about turning technology into usable solutions
… stuff that people use.  Yes, I do know that a lot of people
are using BitTorrent, however when I see a project like this I really
see technology being evolved into something usable by a larger audience.

I downloaded the project, and am going to play with it … so far, I
like what I see.  It appears that I might have found an easier way
to create torrents.  As all of this becomes a simpler process,
even more people will jump into the distribution of large objects.
