My Tweetcloud

 

I guess most of my day revolves around coming and going… and my favorite place to be: Home! :-)

If you’re a twitter user, you can make your own here.

Spring??

Yesterday was the first day of spring.. at least on the calendar anyway. We’ve been in a cold and windy weather pattern all week and as I write this on a very sunny (but freezing) Friday morning, the wind is howling outside. (Try convincing Bella that the noise is not someone approaching the house… someone get me some earplugs!)

It’s nice to have today off to catch up on things and get some work done around the house. I got my new MacBook Pro in this week and while there’s a bit of a learning curve I’m doing great with it and LOVE it already! It took quite awhile last night to get it to recognize my new printer but an updated driver download from the Canon website did the trick.

I cleared all of my programs and files from the old laptop and have passed that on to Jake to use in his room. Today, I hope to backup and delete lots of files from the Dell, run a defrag and get that one running in top shape for the family. (I’ll still be using it to update my website with Frontpage until I can figure something out on the Mac, and to podcast for awhile until I’m comfortable with Garageband over Castblaster.)

As for the rest of the weekend, I want to start prepping my bathroom for a new paint job, brought home Assessment stuff to work on, and have 2 places to go on Easter Sunday.

For now, drinking coffee, checking email and spending some cuddle time with the girls…

Technology gods smiling down …

Ahhhh… it’s so nice when things go your way without a hitch! I managed to reinstall Frontpage Extensions (hopefully for the last time since my new MacBook Pro is on its way!) so that I could update the website today.

I was also able to successfully redirect my podcast feed to podpress (and keep my original feed url) quite painlessly with the help of Twitter friend Wes @planetretcon. A simple request to Twitter for a link to a tutorial resulted in him direct messaging me and offering to help since he recently did the same redirect that I needed to do today. It literally took just a few minutes from the time of our gtalk chat message to my being up and running. Thanks so much Wes!

And thanks technology gods for holding me in good favor today :-)

Podcasting Mama!

Last night I was able to bang out two podcasts while the kids were out and the pups were sleeping. There’s not much going on in Patriot Nation but I did a brief Offseason Update. I also was inspired to get my thoughts out there and did a new Muse With Me about my feelings sparked by reading Eckhart Tolle’s book A New Earth and taking Oprah’s web seminar.

It’s a rainy Saturday so it’s time to do some webwork but I’m having trouble with my Frontpage Extensions again with my host for my website so I’ll be working on fixing that now (AGAIN) to make an update. Then, I’m determined to learn how to separate my rss feed from my website and automate it so that I only have to rely on wordpress and podpress to get a show out. Wish me luck!

What is Twitter?

If you’re reading this entry in an RSS Reader then you’re probably saying “Not Again!” because you’ve seen this video posted over and over again on the blogs that you subscribe to so this is NOT for you! (You’re most likely a geek and if you’re geeky enough to be into rss then you’ve been Twittering for a long time for sure!)

This post is for you: family, friends, and Pats fans alike who have stumbled here or purposely come here for other reasons and wonder “Just what the heck is Twitter, anyway?” Commoncraft explains it so well that I couldn’t even begin to compare so just sit back, watch, and see you on Twitter! (I’m mrsb so be sure to add me if you jump into the Twitter pool!)
