Keeping it up

This is two days in a row. Hopefully the blogging habit will continue. This will be quick, though.

I posted one of the first episodes on the new podcasting system today. It’s a Live in the Lobby of the Athens “Electric Bluegrass” band Splinterbelly.

Settling into the role as Webmaster at the radio station has gone well. I’ve started backing up the current site and will be working on organizing it more soon. The podcasting system took a big jump to 100% completion today. This was more of a back-end upgrade to make it easier for the people (including me) doing the podcasts.

That’s it for now. Just an FYI, I’m taking down most of the site for now and leaving just the blog. When the rest of my site comes back up, it will have the same structure/layout, but it will have a different design.

End Transmission.

Long time no blog!

A quick update:

School has started and is going well. Today was Monday #2. I have been biking to campus, and I’m really falling in love with it. It’s a great workout. Classes are exciting. I’m looking forward to Graphic Communication, which I have tomorrow.

The WUOG Podcasting page which I have been working on for the summer launched this past weekend. It was a fairly big job. Podcast Generator made it a lot easier. Also, I made a screencast of the new system: It’s on YouTube.

A little bit of narcissism and this green search engine (write-up later?) led me to find someone that found my Time Machine article useful. That’s genuinely rewarding.

It looks like things are slowing down. Or that could be the dreariness and the rain. Regardless, I will continue blogging soon.

I think my website looks like cotton candy

And I don’t like that very much.

In the next couple of days I’ll be working on using a different color scheme and different graphics. I’m going to try and soften up the edges of the content areas as well.

I got a lot done at WUOG today. I’m pretty happy with how Podcast Generator integrated into the existing design.

I’ll be going to a friend’s wedding tomorrow. They’re a great pair and I wish them luck.

Hurray Technology

While in Italy, the battery on my Macbook died. It would no longer charge. At the same time, the headphones on my iPod broke. I went to the Apple store today and they replaced both of them (very generously given the circumstances).

I also did some work on the WUOG Digital Media staff plan for next semester. I really need to start working on it. There needs to be a working system by August. I’m quite excited about it, though. I think the group will be able to go in a meaningful direction.

There’s not too much else to report.
