The inevitable wifi complaint

Christian Crumlish

We're up in the nosebleeds in the Fleet Center all bitching about the flakey wifi. I've finally got my connection working (apparently), by making up a suitable IP number (and changing it when the DHCP server reassigns mine to someone else).

At one of the two bloggers' breakfasts I attended this morning there were cameramen looming over my shoulder filming me typing on my laptop. They probably thought I was blogging, but I was actually practicing an ancient art known as "taking notes" (in this case, in VoodooPad, my favorite hypertext scratchpad).

I was thinking "does this make good TV?" So I typed it - don't know if the camera picked it up.

I've also now been interviewed by someone from Comcast and someone from eWeek.

This is a much better alternative to expecting overblogged folks like myself to both posting in yet another location. Also, I noticed that Frances' most recent... (Products)

The Word is 'Blogstreaming': I'm drowning in blogs. Each of them are useful for updating a specific website or allowing me to sound off on a specific topic, but I need a one-size-fits-all solution. Currently I'm scattered over a handful of different mechanisms. According to this article, the word for what I'm trying to do... (Weblog Concepts)
Geekfun Adds...: Erik Speckman linked to my comparison and had these comments to add: I'd add that updating Live Journal from any web browser is much more natural than doing the same thing with Radio.

Experiment in Exposing the Comments: Afeard that the discussion buried under my main post of the day won't see the light of day, I'm going to see what happens when I paste the table HTML here: Comments in response to this post: I think the fear of losing all my content in an LJ server disaster...

Hidden Comments: There's a nice little discussion following my previous post (thanks for the pointer, Scott) but I would never have known it without clicking on the "say what" link because it claims there are [0] comments. What's up with that?... ()
LiveJournal vs. Radio Userland: Scot Hacker posted a comment to my LiveJournal blog asking me to compare LJ to Radio Userland in 50 words or less. This is an excellent challenge, and I think I'll take advantage of it by following up with a series of head-to-head comparisons. For additional reference, be sure to see... (Weblog Concepts)
