    Blogging from the iphone

    I am composing this from my iPhone via the free wordpress app that came out a few days ago.

    As you can see I was able to add tags and set the category. I want more features, but it is free after all. I would pay five bucks for it if I could add photos, quotes, and copy and paste from the web.

    Overall 7/10.

    Procrastination on a Wet Sunday in Baltimore

    Well, I am trying to start finish my research paper that is due tomorrow. I finally narrowed down the topic to the Anfal Campaign.

    Unfortunately this class has been a disappointment to me, but I guess it will at least be an easy three credits to add to the list.

    To procrastinate today I:

    1. installed Office 2007 (my trial ran out last week)
    2. updated some plugins on my wordpress admin page for the constant skeptic
    3. tried to figure out why my AJAX plugins were not working
    4. deactivated AJAX plugins
    5. attempted to install the “intense debate” plugin
    6. my comments section disappeared completely so I had to deactivate this plugin as well.
    7. ordered food from Belisimos
    8. decided to download the Office 2007 service pack 1
    9. post on the constant skeptic to waste more time

    You Know Your Blog Sucks When….

    Ok, here are some helpful hints that can act as indicators to gauge the ‘goodness’ of your blog:

    1. If your mom or any other family member is your #1 commenter, then your blog probably sucks. It is time to move out of the house and get your own place…. you can’t sponge off of your family forever. Get a life.

    2. If you constantly misspell words and do not fix them until your commenters tell you about your mistakes, you probably suck at writing and you should give up right away, or have someone dictate your items for you like J. D. Salinger and John Steinbeck did. Basically go pro or go home. Or, you could just get firefox, which underlines your spelling mistakes as you type. Too bad firefox cannot point out your mistakes in the real world as well, but it may be available in the next beta.

    3. If you constantly syndicate other people’s content to the point that other bloggers are complaining about you, you should probably get a life, get creative, and come up with some original content, or else your blog will suffer and die.

    4. If your url contains the words ‘blogspot’ or ‘blogger’ or any of the other various free hosted sites out there, you should consider throwing down the 8$ a month and get your own url, I did and it did wonders for me. (can’t you tell?)

    5. If you spend time reading self-help sites like lifehacker.com and posts entitled “You Know Your Blog Sucks When….” instead of spending time making your site sleeker, more usable, and content rich; then stop it, and get at fixing your blog up to save it from making the worst of the web list.

    ta ta for now, hopefully you take my advice to heart, or wherever you take things that you consider important….

    my heart is a black hole of deceit, carelessness, and freedom

    and freedom is really just the ability to have any thought you want in your own mind, without anyone else knowing what that thought is, ever
