Short Attention Span Theater

So it seems like, if you have a blog, you should set up your RSS feed. And if you have a feed, you should run it through Feedburner. So while I’m using the excuse of doing this stuff so I can learn all about feeds and syndication and yadda yadda for my clients, I really do find it kind of neat. So I set it all up, and looked at my stats. I have one subscriber…me.

So that makes me curious..how many of you actually read RSS feeds? I use NetNewsWire Lite (RSS aggregator for Mac) and have about 30 feeds. Sure makes it easier than going to each of those pages every day to see updates. So do you use it? How many of you don’t even know wtf I’m talking about? Really, I’m curious.

So another night of insomnia led me to changing the theme on my WordPress blog. I like it a lot better, still tweaking it a bit though. The name has kinda changed from Short Attention Span Theater to a quote “How do you document real life, when real life’s getting more like fiction each day?” - from RENT. It’s a good name for a blog though? For LJ’s purpose though, the link back to my blog, I’m going to leave it as Short Attention Span Theater, at least for now.

Ok, it’s 5:11am. I’m gonna go see if there’s any room in bed for me…

Wow. This was an interesting weekend. Believe it or not, the insomniac SLEPT. I think my body wanted to hibernate, and with how cold it is out, I really can’t complain.

I did a lot of work on Friday and Saturday to get a new site up for one of my clients. There’s still work to do, but it’s done enough for them to show the boss. I just love how freelance is feast or famine, and it can change at a moment’s notice.

Saturday night we went to see RENT again. Saw a few people we knew from the German Village Coffee Shop, so that was cool. I am going to see it again tomorrow with Krista, and maybe on Saturday with some people I know from LiveJournal, but haven’t yet met for real. That’d be nice, RENT is one of those things that SHOULD draw people together. I know I’m going a lot, but for someone who rarely goes to the movies at all, that should give an indication of how amazing it truly is. I’m simply awestruck.

I set up a webserver on my new mac, still getting it configured, but I’m using DynDNS to keep it up and running. Not sure what I’ll use it for yet, besides a dev server. I don’t like sending clients to melipillar.com, so with domain masking from iwritethecode.com, it will be perfect.

I put up a new photo gallery last night, with a lot of pics of me as a wee bitty kiddy. You can see it here.

I got Gallery2 integrated nicely into WordPress. I have 2 separate things, first there is the random picture display over there on the sidebar. It’ll pick any picture from any album I have set up in Gallery. The other is a link to the gallery itself, which I configured to fit within this WordPress template. I’ll be making a lot of adjustments to the actual photo galleries as time allows, but for now, yay!

Uh hi…finally getting around to setting a blog up on my personal site. Mostly I’m really busy with my freelance web development stuff lately, so I’ll probably only be working on this when I can’t sleep.
