Re: future posts in WP. The mindset is so different from EE, should be our choice. WP ppl get all huffy about it. #

Morning Recordings “The Welcome Kinetic” comes out tomorrow, it’s super good! I’ll be posting about it, just fixing up the links & jpgs now. #
Is it “hoodie” or “hoody”? I keep spelling it hoodie, but now I’m thinking that’s wrong. I feel like 85 years old right now. #

Finally using the blogroll feature in WP, to display my “other stuff” links. Looks exactly the same, but it’ll be easier for me to maintain. #

Oh dear, my rss feed is saying I’m posting everything on December 31 1969. WTF? #
Thinking I can’t use TwitterTools, at least not to pull in RSS and create new posts automatically. Seems to be screwing up dates and GUIDs. #

I got my Circa notebook and I love it! I noticed a broken tooth on the inner plastic cover thingy; they’re graciously sending me a new one. #
I’m done moving into my note-bwallet! Amanda (@swatymyers) would understand the satisfaction. I’ll be using this every day, all the time. #

WordPress bugs out if you have a category with the same name as a tag. Just thought you’d like to know. #

I’m fighting another cold. We went to Jodie’s today though; that’s always good for you! I took a picture of the coffeemaker for some reason. #

Listening to the new Morning Recordings… I sang on 3 songs, and lead on one? Really? I thought I was only on the one, doing backups! Psych #

The banner-dragging airplanes are back. WaMu will never get my business, not that they’d want it. #
Think I’ve finally got a more or less sensible format for my blog-blatherings. RSS people, I am sooo sorry. Please bear with me! Or not. #
Dang, I gotta stop listing my tags on my index page if I’m going to use fifty bazillion of ‘em! Just moving around the ugly, but still. #
My little sister Lilly (@queenlil09) says they opened a Panera in SAN ANTONIO. WTF? They don’t need that soup, WE need that soup! #
I was walking and some guys commented in Spanish that it’s a shame I don’t like men. OJO: Hay gente en este mundo que hablan Español! #

Another CC-licensed photo of mine used without permission, with no linkback this time. Starting to think maybe CC isn’t for me after all. #
The fine print: You can change/revoke a CC license anytime, BUT all previous downloads keep their original licenses. That seems reasonable. #
I just uploaded my 1000th photo to Flickr! #
My pics from the Du Nord last night came out horrible. I gotta get those camera settings back to where they were before I fuckered ‘em up. #
There are FOUR airplanes dragging ad banners over Albany right now. I HATE THEM. #
Twitter, the new design is nice enough but are you getting the message that people aren’t liking the fonts? They aren’t liking the fonts. #

Dunno if I like mixing twitters in with my blog posts. Too awkward-looking. Want to fix that, and also mix in Flickr/Reader/delicious feeds. #

Apologies to RSS subscribers if you’re getting multiple copies of my "updated" (not) posts. I’m tweaking my feed, gotta get it just right. #
Three guesses what I’m about to do to this plugin: http://tinyurl.com/yvqllt #
p.s. I didn’t mean it THAT way, perv! :-P #
I whipped up my own randomized lyrics plugin. You don’t want it though! Nobody would want it but me, and even I don’t really want it. #

Ugh. htaccess and mod_rewrite are straining my brain something awful. I need to get better at regex, I shoulda had that down cold years ago. #
It may be dawning on me that the Twitter plugin I’m using is generating funky dates. Need to roll my own, but that’s a huge can’o'worms. #
I just blew my occasional allowance for luxuriousness. It’s a Levenger Circa Zip Folio, size compact, in eggplant. Yay! Can’t wait for UPS. #
F’book says (with a broken-heart icon) that a friend went from being "in a relationship" to "single". Am I to post condolences on his wall? #

Nice. I just performed some monkey business on .htaccess, to redirect my crufty ol’ URLs to the proper new pages. And I didn’t bork it up. #
Well then! I guess I’ve just dispensed with the www in my url. .htaccess is truly truly outrageous! #
Huh. iPhone is no longer offering to delete a video after I’ve watched it. I liked that feature, I want it back. #
I am almost incapable of typing the word "edit" without an h on the end. Even "edition" sometime comes out as "edithion". #

Shit! I tried to upgrade my iPhone and it threw up. Put me in recovery mode. I wonder why? #
Having to fix brokeass markup in a WP plugin I’m using. Were these people born in a barn? Do they not validate? Oh btw thanks for the plugin #
I’m in the iPhone music store, and oh so very pleased with myself. #
I am LOVING the tagging in WP 2.3. I tag all this other shit – my Flickr, Gmail, del.icio.us, iPhoto – so why not? http://tinyurl.com/2w3979 #
My old RSS feed URL is prettier now, it’s being redirected. Main one is now at http://edithfrost.com/feed/ Still working on its layout. #

We’re down to the emergency coffee. Tastes like pond water but at least it’s coffee. #
I had to reset my Twitter icon & (default) design, just like @zeldman was talking about. Weird. #
OK, I admit I’m moving my site to WP, I’m almost ready to flip the switch. Still love EE tho, and happy to endorse it. It’s… just because. #
Aw man, I just ran a gnarly MySQL query on my blog db, only barely knowing what I’m doing. Amazingly enough it appears I did not fuck it up. #
Ohhhh I think I’m just about to go live with the new WP blog #
I’m buzzing and shaking! Been working too too hard on this. Oh and it’s gone live btw, for better or for worse. Gotta dig into htaccess now. #
@xenijardin: once I was recording at the same time as CT (different rooms) and I got to place my hand upon the case of the 4-neck guitar… #

I got 51 songs on the new Amazon MP3. :-) #
Messing with a patched-up version of WP while the bf visits with a friend. Lotta other ppl had the same lockout problem, I hope it’s fixed! #
