Als u van zou houden nodig aan het nieuwe sociale netwerk „Brij“ uit van Yahoo, enkel verlof een commentaar (te gebruiken gelieve een geldig e-mailadres op het gebied E-mail van het Adres). Voor wat het waard is, ben ik niet bijzonder geïmponeerd.

Ik las over dit truc op Lifehacker om fruitvliegen vroeger te vangen deze zomer. Ik ben blij ik, omdat Vancouver heeft een huisvuilstaking gehad voor iets als 9 weken nu. Goed, Ik heb bevestigd het werkt.

Update: Allebei nodigen gegaan uit, zal ik bijwerken wanneer ik meer heb.

Ik heb 2 uitnodig aan Streamy om weg te geven. De eerste twee mensen om een commentaar te verlaten krijgen hen (te gebruiken gelieve een geldig e-mailadres in Post: het gebied van de commentaarvorm, die het adres is ik zal verzenden nodigt) uit.

Het is Augustus, wat typisch één van de' langzamere' maanden op Internet is. And since I feel like taking a bit of a break, I guess August would be the month to do it. So for the next week, give or take (update: ok about two weeks, maybe a few days less), I probably won’t be posting very much. I have a couple of posts that are almost complete, so I might finish them up and publish them, but otherwise don’t expect too much. Please don’t unsubscribe from the RSS feed or forget about me. I promise to come back, soon. Before Sept.

In the meantime, check out some of these sites that I frequently read:

With any luck I’ll return a bit refreshed, with lots of new posts and post ideas.

Though it appears this site started in July of 2006, I actually had it blocked off to the public until Aug 1st. I spent July of 2006 adding posts so I wouldn’t ‘launch’ a site that had no content. That, and it gave Google a month to start indexing stuff (I allowed my home IP, the public IP of the coffee shop I ‘worked’ from in East Vancouver, and every Google IP I could determine).

I suspect this post will only be interesting to a very small number of people. Since I’m a ‘full discloser’ kinda fellow, I have no problem sharing pretty much every aspect of this sites statistics, but I won’t bore people by doing it often. Once a year seems about right. Also, I’ll be referencing a bunch of these stats in an upcoming post that’ll be titled something along the lines of “What I learned in my first year of blogging”, which I hope will be more interesting.

1. Visitors by month
2. Visitors by source
3. Visitors by referral
4. Visitors by search
5. Top content
6. RSS subscription growth
7. Posts, categories, comments and spam
8. Borderline useless stats

As you may have noticed, Simplehelp has been ‘down’ much more often lately than I’d like. It all relates to my previous host disabling me, moving to a new host, being on the front page of digg when the (new) server wasn’t ready for it, and the lack of a wp-cache plugin. Anyway - that’s all fixed now (in theory). This post has an actual intent too - to push the changes made by the Full Text Feed plugin live (after WP 2.1 feeds are cut off if you use the <!–more–> tag, which is annoying if you want to allow RSS subscribers to read the full text of your post, which I do).

Update: out of Spock invites, I’ll update when I have more.

Just a quick note - if you’d like an invite to Moola, Pownce or Spock, please leave a comment below. Just tell me which one you want an invite to, and use a valid email address in the comment form. Cheers!

Yahoo describes Pipes as “an interactive data aggregator and manipulator that lets you mashup your favorite online data sources”. Alright, but what does that mean to the rest of us? Yahoo Pipes uses an easy-to-understand visual editor that allows you to (among other things) take multiple RSS feeds, combine and filter them, and then output all of that information to one RSS feed.

This tutorial will take you through the steps to filter the content of one RSS feed (Techmeme) so that content you may have already read isn’t included in your Techmeme feed. [click to continue...]

I think the move from a shared host (Dreamhost) to a dedicated host (The Planet) has worked. There are a few issues that I know of, and I don’t *think* they’ll make a difference in the use of the site. If you could take a moment and surf around a bit to see if you can find anything that’s broken, I’d be very appreciative!!

Thanks,

Ross
