Re: Disqus V3 Is Live On This Blog

Do you still need to be using advanced templates to install Disqus? Would love to revert to using it for comments, but have dropped advanced templates to simplify life :)

Re: Working for on the weekend.

This is a problem I've encountered for most of the past 25 years - the impression that creatives (mainly software developers in my case) aren't doing anything, or aren't "team players" because of their antipathy to meetings ... this is such a good explanation of the issue.

Re: Does Anyone Use Chrome?

Possibly no way to answer this, but is the change in usage of browser over three years an indication that your then-existing community has changed, or that the larger/different community was using a different browser when we arrived here? A clumsy way of saying that maybe the community changed in size or make-up, rather than (or maybe as well as) the existing community changing its browser ...

Disqus is up to some good stuff, no doubt ... checking out the 'Tweet this' with this! Do we know if they're able to install to a Typepad blog without advanced templates yet? Daniel?

Re: Business Cards and Hacker Groups

aqualung — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 17:58:06 -0000

Lot of the geeks I follow use Moo cards (http://www.moo.com/products/business_cards.php); I use Hughcards (http://gapingvoid.streetcards.com/).

I think, for all our distaste for dead-tree products, in a forum where you may be meeting lots of new people in fairly rapid succession, something small and simple with your web identity (particularly at a web-geek show like RailsConf!) is useful, and honours other people's time as well as your own

Re: Dependency.

aqualung — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 09:06:01 -0000

Two things ... I often reflect on this bounty/dependence (and doubt I could now live without it); and second: no, politicians DON'T get it generally (particularly Senator Stephen Conroy here in Australia). I think even most corporations (who HAVE derived real and obvious benefits from comms technology) don't see the potential for their own employees to have better access from home.

Re: SocialWhois » Discuss with aqualung about socialsoftware

aqualung — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 07:44:07 -0000

This is an interesting idea ... fits into a bunch of other activity around attention, identity and authenticity ... I'll watch where it heads

Sean - any plans for Australian property?

Tell Amy I've bought the album (via eMusic) because of your recommendation (and yes - I DID wait for the next month's quota!) all the way from Australia ...

Re: If you are seeing partial RSS feeds….

Chuq ... Using Greader/feedly - now getting full feed and post title is 'clickable' ... all seems good from here now

Re: Top 10 Records Of 2008

aqualung — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 07:24:09 -0000

Can't pick too much wrong with this list (well - there'll always be arguments at the margins, but I've enjoyed most of these this year) ... Hometowns is an my 'next-month' list at eMusic

Cheers, Shai ... this is an area where I think we all have a bit more to learn, and you are contributing to the teaching!

Re: When will Local truly be on the web? - RussellBeattie.com

aqualung — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 09:46:53 -0000

As it's only USA-based at the moment, I have no way of knowing how well it would work for you and your location, but have you tried outside.in (http://outside.in/) for your locale?

Re: roomatic - Roomatic

aqualung — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:04:18 -0000

very useful and interesting ... plenty of ways to put this to use

So what happens when I add a comment here?

thanks Mark ... I spoke at both funerals and it's hard to judge your own words. Thanks for the thoughts as well ....

Re: Event Firehoses On Twitter

Fred - can't believe you haven't caught up with Craig Cmehil's eventtrack (http://eventtrack.info/) - it started with Twitter only, but Craig has also now aggregated feeds from Flickr, Jaiku and a bunch of other socnets ... follow Craig (@ccmehil) and/or @eventtrack on Twitter - or have a look at the link above; Oscars were tagged #aa08

Russ - the only issue I have with this eloquent rant is the comment "Carriers are willing to invest billions for the license and the infrastructure to enable next generation wireless services" - it was Tom Evslin that pointed out that it is worth that much to the existing telcos to stop any innovation:
"It’s worth it for at&t and Verizon and perhaps even big cablecos to bid high for these dangerous frequencies in order to protect their existing business. But they have no incentive to hurry to put these frequencies to use or ever allow them to emerge as the basis for competition to their lucrative retail businesses. The 700MHz frequencies are worth almost as much fallow as in use to them." (http://blog.tomevslin.com/2007/07/googles-good-...)

Andrey ... harsh words! And mine are amongst some of the milder comments I've seen about Spock :-)

"to "put it all in one place" finally" - yes I'd love that, but I want it to be MY place, not someone else's ... Spock is no different to any one of a dozen social networks - they all want to be the ONE place I keep my data, but I don't want any of them owning it, I want ME to own it.

BTW - you've noticed I'm still there ... I'm watching

Joaquin - welcome back! I think you only have to look over to the right to see I'm still attached to coComment! Good to see that it's working with disqus now, too - did you have something to do with that?

That's funny - I don't think it'll last six weeks let alone months ...

Noosa, Moolloollaba and/or Maroochydore - all a bit further south, but not as tacky as Gold Coast

Fred - just caught up on your travel posts (and gothamgal's) - glad you're having fun in Sydney, but Xmas Day can be a bit hard when you're in a strange place (hey - the beach I was on for Xmas lunch was a lot warmer!). Next time venture further west ;-)

Re: RussellBeattie.com - Mowser: Stop letting Google transcode your content!

Russ - you'll be glad to know that the Google side of the comparison came up as "mobilized by mowser" too - I stole the <link> code from your page last night!
