So I took the plunge and started up a Facebook page. I’m hopefully going to be able to integrate this AND that page somewhat. Maybe not to the extent of twitter, but at least I can post my stuff to multiple locations… I hope.

I’ve been thinking of all the possibility of using the miccroblogging services like Twitter. Frankly right now I don’t do a LOT of tweating, and i don’t have much I would WANT to tweat about at times. It seems to me at least that the idea is just short snippets of things that don’t really matter surrounding a lot of other things. Not idea if it’s really worth the time to do any of it. It might be good to have twitter when say you at an event and your reporting back to the audience in short spurts to let them know how things are. Personally I prefer the ability to have my entire article here and then edit it. I’m not 100% sure it’s a good thing FOR ME. I’ll work on it some, but who knows.
I have a few new articles that will be going up soon as I write them. A few things to consider and the like.
Decided to give kBlooger 1 a trial run. I have to admit that even for alpha software it does look like it will turn out well. First problem though is no tags so I have to add that later. Second problem is no image uploading, so I have to do that in the site itself. I’ll see how everything works over time. Maybe some things will be fixed as it progresses into beta and then stable 1.0. Who knows.
Here’s a screen shot.
Started playing around with KOffice 2 today. Honestly I don’t really mind it. A lot of the features that I had issues with from before have been fixed. The program is bringing up OpenOffice.org generated odt files up properly now without an extra blank page at the beginning. The program did crash when I hit undo, which is a bug I hope will be fixed.
As a program I do like how it looks. It still needs to be able to export to HTML properly for me to be really happy, considering I need HTML for Darkscribes.
I’m working on the transocder, learning C++ as I go and trying to make thing as easy as possible. Right now it looks like the entire thing has to be in C++. Fact is I’m thinking that instead of making this specific to Amarok to encode this as something that could be placed in any program. Thing is I’m wondering how much reinventing the wheel I’ll end up doing. I dislike the idea of reinventing the wheel.
Was tweaking around some of the old links and found a fellow I linked to a while back in a post about the Sony Reader and iRex Iliad. Seems he’s started a few new blogs and posted recently about Sony Reader distribution. He’s posted a lot of articles relating to eBook distribution both in relation to devices and the actual content as well. Frankly as I look at the front page for Amazon.com and look at the ever present Kindle ad on the front page I have to wonder if eBooks will finally have a chance of reaching a larger market. I first started being interested in them when I had access to Microsoft Reader and purchased several books from Amazon.com in that format. They were decent enough, and I had an iPaq at the time so reading off it wasn’t a big deal for me. I enjoyed it. I even had fanfictions on it and read them using pocket word. I so enjoyed my first Jornada PDA.
Hello everyone, I am going to be editing and cleaning up some of LD’s posts. I will be working on here as well as on withintheimperium. I hope to get started later today, and I’ll have more time on the weekends. We’ll see how it goes.
LD says: You’d have to be a masochist to take this job! 
Decided to post a link to all my fanfictions that are currently available on Darkscribes.org. They are all linked on their own page so give them a look and tell me what you think. Comments should be left with the stories on the DS comment system.
Social Networking, communication, and the way we share.
I’ve been hearing about social networks for the last few years. Things like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Digg. Now, the point of these sites originally was to give people a place they could post their interests, thoughts, and generally get in contact with those they share common cause. I’ve spent some time the last few days pondering the technical merits of Twitter while I sighed up, integrated it with dhampirdreams.com and general added folk to watch. This all started when I decided that I wanted to finally play around with the microblogging plasmoid in KDE 4.x. Thankfully all I had to do was enter the website address and my login information for Twitter. As you can see from the screenshot it just keep the current tweets and such plastered there. I’m hoping to find more people to follow over time. Read the rest of this entry »
