Small Journal Upgrades

@ 03 pm | PermaLink

I updated Dwelling's tempaltes and infrastructure a bit, something which I've only done a couple of times in the past year.

The most visible change is that the Archives page is no longer a single mass of links, but it now an organized long listing of all of my entries. It's interesting to see that monthly, I've keep a pretty consistent pace in terms of posts, though over the last year, it feels like things have slowed down a bit.

The second change is the addition of a meta tag: <meta name="ICBM" content="45.52361, -122.675" > which identifies the location that I'm usually posting from: Portland, Oregon.

This actually feeds into another item which is the listing of Dwelling at OrBlogs.com. This has a lot of Oregon-oriented blogs, which I was already on, though I didn't know it. It's been a goal of mine to find more local feeds and to keep up with local news and such. Local-news-wise, there's two sites that suck: oregonlive.com and kgw.com (intentionally unlinked) because of their sucky load times/or required registration. I'll look at www.katu.com if I want to know what's happening ont he local media, but I'll be checking orblogs.com more often now.

It seems that my *really* early listing of Dwelling on my.userland.com's RSS aggegator and Netscape's "My.Netscape" continues to impact the spread of my journal's feed, even without any effort from myself. How early was that? March 1999 or there abouts...

Imagine the Washington Post, but all the content of the front page was taken from LiveJournal entries.

Flash Mob in Portland

@ 10 am | PermaLink

July 30, 2003 : : 7:24-7:34 pm : : First Portland Flash Mob

About 20 people showed up. The word needs to go out to other Portland area Lists such as:

Portland Bloggers
Portland Stories
Daily PDX

It hit the Personal Telco list this morning and I ended up seeing it 3 different ways:

The Personal Telco List
Forwarded from an office mate
a Friends List

Twenty participants aren't enough, we need at least 40 people to make it a real impactful Mob. Perhaps next time we will have those numbers. This is kind of like a public art display and is a nice change of pace.
