Introducing the Lifestream

Sunday (14/9/08), 11:44 pm. 1 comment.

A lot of what I was/am trying to accomplish with the Tumbl3 redesign is a certain amount of centralization and connectivity between the various fragments of my online presence. So far I’ve greatly simplified the design to allow for various content types, built and integrated TweetRemote, and have now added a lifestream that runs off FriendFeed.

Besides being an excellent tool for all the stalkers out there, I’m hoping it will prove to be an easy way to share all the cool stuff I find and possibly do around the interwebs. It does not get sent through the RSS feed for this site, so you don’t have to be worried about being overloaded with information. However, if you do want to keep a more watchful eye on it you can subscribe to me on FriendFeed or keep a watch on this feed (or just randomly check the page–some things are just more fun the old-fashioned way).

The code is very easy to set up for any account (really only requires changing one variable), so it may also get a public release in the near future.

What other ways have you seen or used for controlling the fragmentation of online presences due to the social web? Do lifestreams interest you?

While it’s been almost two months since I’ve written a solid full-length post here, I’m not dead, and I haven’t been completely idle on the web, either. As my old portfolio has been extremely outdated for far too long now, I am finally launching my new portfolio. Check it out, tell me what you think, hire me, send me hate mail…whatever you guys like to do.

The COMPASS Test – A User Interface Nightmare

Tuesday (24/10/06), 1:58 pm. 5 comments.

This morning I found myself sitting in front of a PC at Chemeketa trying to fill out the form preceding a COMPASS test. It shouldn’t (key word: shouldn’t) have been too hard, since they were basically just asking me to tell them all the info they had already requested on my admissions application.

Yeah, I’m going camping tomorrow through Sunday. This means no internet for like 4 days. No computers, either (too bad I don’t have that MacBook Pro yet).

A problem that I’m sure all web developers, entrepreneurs, and internet geeks alike all share is deciding which projects to work on. You’ve got the client work, your latest blog post, that sweet JavaScript widget, your latest Rails app…How to choose?

Heading off to Webvisions

Wednesday (19/7/06), 11:46 pm. No comments.

Heading off to Webvisions tomorrow morning, should be pretty sweet. If you see me, say “hi,” and if you don’t…say “hi” anyway.

I’ll probably take lots of photos and should be coming back with lots of new topics to blog about.

So stay tuned.
