Trying something that we have done in some ways before but with a little bit of a different aim and twist here at Mephistos going forward. The short little entries in one blog that have often been called observations of some sort or another will continue and be varied as they usually have and hopefully more regular. In addition to that, I am staring a new them of observations called technology observations that will tentatively give my thoughts, opinions, and at least a heads up on some of the newest technological breakthroughs to come along. The focus will typically be those things that have occurred in the last week and the aim is to do this regularly on Fridays. Lets get to it for the week of May 6th and a little more, maybe even a month since this is the first time…
Why is that every once a while technology rears the ugly difficult head to the extreme? I ask, because most of the time technology and me get along just fine and have very few problems. But then there are those odd occasions, much as what has been going on for most of last week and has continued on into this week. It is during times like this one that I am just convinced that I was getting a bit cocky, unawares mind you, about some aspect of conquering technology and technology has decided to call me and hence put me in my place. Examples abound from the last few days, but let me go over just a few of them to give you all some idea of my recent frustration.
I have not done one of my short lists of observations in a while and I was thinking about it yesterday – what could I do as a theme for something around the middle of April. And then it occurred to me that it is that most dreaded day of tax deadlines. It is also, [...]
Anyway, to get on the post and what is getting in my crawl a bit today is MobilePress. I also wanted to touch on the work I am doing with theme and point out that there could be some days where things are a little wonky while I work through that hazard. Both of which are things I am pretty sure I mentioned prior to my departure for the seven day immersion in a medieval time to the south of here.
IComLeavWe
By Ray on April 1st, 2011
What an awesome cool idea this little concept of IComLeavWe is. Okay, the name is a little odd and it is probably not what some of my friends are thinking, so a little clarification. It is indeed International Comment Leaving Week. The concept, apparently similarly NaBloPoMo started as a week in a given month. It now runs every month with specific cycle and range of dates and you can find more information over at what is a pretty interesting, but mostly topical blog called Stirrup Queens. That is another name that is not at all what I am sure a few of you are thinking and probably deserves some explanation as well, but I have to think through that one a bit.
